EDITOR ADyoCATE:-On the 3rd

convention and nominated Hon. j. P.
Ranny for representative; Charles
Chandler, for clerk of district court;
WI. Nicholson, for probate judge,
and Mr.. Glendenning for superintend-

was never witnessed in this county be-
fore. Our ticket is number one.
Late in the evening Mrs. Annie L.

On Monday Labor day., hundreds
gathered at OsaWatomie to see and
hear the Hon. Frank Willard, Popu-
ist candidate for congress for this dis
trict and the indomitable Dunsmore.
Mr.. Willard filled all and more than
the people expected; he ranks with the
most intelligent. In zeal and earnest
ness Of the cause he has espoused, he is
not surpassed.
About 4 o'clock Hon. Dunsmore was
called upon the stand, and about the
same time the Hon. ~ John B. Rem
ington, Dick Blues temporary secretary
Of the sledge-hammer Douglass house
took "banker's lien" against a sap
ping in front of the stand, and heard
Mr.. Dunsmore to the end, exposing
the perjured, traitorous, anarchist re-
publicans, courts and Santa Fe rail
road. AT first Mr.. Dunsmore was
cheered, but the burning words of
shame, the acts of debauchery, per-
jury and outrages of the Douglass
cesspool Of republican damnation it
took to show up the crowd of the
Santa Fe, settled Mr.. Dunsmore's
hearers into sober, earnest thought,
while John b. Remington trembled
like "reed shaken in the wind" ;"
while ever and anon came the piercing,
cOnVicting words flom Dunsmore of
Remington's acCursed depravity in the
rump, rotten, Santa Fe Douglass house,
until the sun grew low, hearts were

The reps raised $25, shipped team

Whether or not the Independent and

fused representation in the State Conven-

Mr. Shepard reached his office at III
Broadway at 1890 o'clock this morning,
and there were then a number Of anti
machine men waiting there for him.
The man whose visit implied the great
est significance. perhaps. was Carl
Schurz. The latter had evidently called
in response to an invitation. and his
conference with Mr.. Shepard lasted over
an hour. At the end of that time Mr..
Schurz left Mr.! Shepard's ONCE smiling
and rubbing his hands.

ard what truth there was In rumors cir

replied. "All I can say to you, how

Everything is possible Just now"
Beyond this Mr.. Shepard had nothing

Convention, and that there was a strong
disposition to work against Hill.
Mr.. Shepard intimated. too. that III
