press of Kansas while you were absent,
in which they now declare for silver2'
"Oh, l never had much faith in death

when to face death was duty. became
inoculAtsd with the idea prevalent
among men that God hated a coward
and from that day to this, have fealt that
reformation should take place when
there was no Immediate danger, else the
good faith of the patient might be called
Ia question. But let US be charita bic and
hope that they are in earnest"

cans that you are PopuIist " here do

Chairman Richards of the Democratic
State Central committee IL having trouble
In getting the cumpaigners OF his party
to take the stump for David Overmyer
and the ticket nominated at the July
convention.
John II. Atwood Of Leavenworth, who
is recognized as one Of the ablest Demo
cratic speakers in the state, has declined
to make any speeches and has written
letter to Chairman Richardson in
which he says: Your letter Of Aug.
2Sth, requesting me to take the stump is
now before me. This il will be impOssi-
Bile for me to do. The Democratic party
under its present National leadership is
unworthy the support Of any Democrat

whose memory runs further back than
the frat reign of Grover Cleveland
am still Democrat but Of the
kind of which Bryan of n Nebraska Is
magnificent type rather than Of those
who bow the knee TO BaAl simply be-
cause the monster is tagged Jehovah. /

nor a tariff policy that is modified Nc
Kinleyism with a Democratic label

KELLY REPLIES TO HENDERSON.
He says He Only Gave $50 to the Cam
paign Fund.
H. B. Kelly was interviewed at Kansas
CITY yesterday. The Star says:
Mr. Kelly was deeply incensed this
morning aud used harsh names when re-
ferring TO Mr.. Henderson. "There is not
q wo-d of truth in Ben HendersOn's
statements" ne declared, land Ben Hen
derson knows there is not 1t is true
that L F. Wentworth, superintendent of
the OsaWatOmie insane asylum, and I.
J. Hayes. steward, contributed $50 each
to the POpuIist campaign fund, and they
did so voluntarily and at least, SO far as
l am concerned, without solicitation.
Mr.. Hayes contribution WAS handed to
me, but this was done simply as a mat
ter OF convenioncS, and 1 promptly
turned tks money over to Mr.. House
holder. Ban Henderson wrote his letter
simply for the purpose Of being spec
t4cular, but he made serious mistake in
attacking the gOOd name OF men \ good
deal better than he il"
