Kansas City Judge Who Is Rather Radical
in His Views.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 20.-The argument
on the application made by w Il. Jami-
son for an injunction to prevent j. G.
Bremmerman from accepting commits
sion as prosecuting attorney of Jackson
county was heard before Judge Henry in
the circuit court. The grounds for asking
such action by the court are that Brcm-
ncrman's 5 certificate was issued on the
strength of forgery of the election returns.
Judge Henry refused to grant the inJunc-
tion. The proceeding, he said, was novel
one. The court was asked to decide which
of the two contestants should be the
plaintiff in u contest.
No court had, ever gone as far as that.
He suggested that the plaintiffs bring
mandamus proceedings to compel the can
vassers to recanvass the vote. In the
course of his opinion Judge Henry said:
~ will 20 as far as any man to prevent
or punish fraud. If it We're under my
control i would make ballot box stufiing
and forging election returns treason
apainst the state and punishable by
death "

The count expressed surprise, as no action
in that line had heretofore been con-

ably due to a request from Germany, as
beef received at Danish ports frequently
would find its way into Germany and thus
overcome the German restriction. Count

CAMERON REFUSES TO TALK
About That Reported Combination of Free
Silver Men.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Cam
eron returned to the city from New York
last night. A reporter called his atten-
tion to the dispatch from South Dakota
connecting his name as presidential can
didate in the event of the birth of a new
party favorable to silver His only reply
was that he had already expressed his
opinion on the matter, referring to the de-
nial he gave to the Associated Press some
time since. He declined to read the dis
patch and declared cmphatically that he
had nothing to say on the subject.
The renewed report that Senator Cam
eron has given consent to be the presidcn-
tial candidate of protection and free
silver party, however, meets with AN en-
phatic denial from close and intimate
friends of the senator here who are in u
position to speak with authority. The
senator has T ceivcd q number of Ictters
fr IN enthusiastic silver men who assure
him that they are with you for 1896 "
These letters have received the same for

icycd by the &c lator. Further than that,
however there has been no correspondence

ated Press reporter that while he was for
silver he was none the less IA Republican
and it was rs a Re ublican that he hoped

This statement has been widely circu-
lated, and Camcr1n's friends say il en-
boUi : his exact positi II. They repudi-
