is most frequently mentioned The ex-
governor, however, said that he would
not accept nomination for any office.
When shown the report that he was
about TO flop to the populists, St John

lar. He condemned the present state
administration and said that he could
have nothing to do with a party headed
by Lewelling.

their cowardly action on prohibition
and equal suffrage questions at the state
convention recently. lie dwelt upon
the conditions of the country as caused
by republican legislation and strongly
scored the tariff and financial laws.
He outlined the platform OF the pro-
hibition party as follows: Suppression
of liquor traffic; government owner
ship Of railroads; free and unlim-
tied coinage of gold and silver at 10 to

pie by the government; opposition to

WRANGLING POPS.
P0PULIsT STATE CONVENTION
DIGS A GRAVE.
ENDORSED EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
The Great Aggregation of Grumblers
Is Apparently Having a Lively
Time at Topeka-Much Dissatis-
faction-Doomed to Destruction.

Special to the Reflector.
TOPEKA, June 13-Thc Populist
State convention began its real work
at 8 o'clock today. Speaker Dunsmore
presided and the hall was well filled
with delegates and others though by
no means so crowded as during last
weeks gathering. The order of bus
mess provided for all unimportant
business being transacted first so that
nothing was accomplished until late.
The resolutions came before nomi-
nations and created a red hot fight all
the morning. When plank endors-
ing equal suffrage was read there was
the widest excitement. Many of the
delegates yelled in derision and others
cheered. The plank was voted on
separately and was adopted by 50
majority. This was slap at the adj
ministration which fought it hard
and was opposed to its being in the
platform.
Lieut.. Gov. Daniels graduated tax
scheme was run in and defeated.
The convention at the night session
concluded the ticket which is as fol-
lows:
Governor, l.. ID. Lewelling.
Lieutenant governor, d. j. Furbeck.
of Topeka.
Secretary of State, j. W. Amis, of
Smith Center.
State auditor, Van B. Prather.
State treasurer, w. II. Biddlc.
Attorney general, John T. Little.
Supt. public instruction, IL. N.
Gaines.
Congressman at large, W. A. Har-
ris.
Associate justice, George w. Clark.
The platform is hodge poige of
isms aud mistakes. 1t has already
sent hosts of delegates home angry
and disheartencd. 1t will lose the
party thousands OF votes and the Re
publicans may as well begin to pre-
pare for grand victory.
The platform reaflirms the Omaha
platform, sympathizes with the un-
employed, endorses the State admin
istration, demands free silver at 16 to
l, denounces national banks and bond
issues, demands boards OF arbitration
and service pensions, favors State
irrigation, copies the Republican rail
road plank of 1892 verbatim, indorses
the referendum system, endorses
woman suffrage, denounces the A. p.
A.
The resolutions are given in full in
another column. The planks Of both
majority and minority were adopted.
Many leaders admit that fusion is
impossible on the platform adopted
and that defeat is probable.
The convention is digging pretty
grave for the party to be buried in
next November.

Her husband must have meant to
place the little box in as conspicuous a
position as possible, but II had dropped
out Of the trembling fingers further Into

ivy had grown over 1t. The poor bones
under the hornbeam were given Christ

The gate had grown so rusty that Il
was some time before he could force 1t
open. A hasty glance around the church
yard told him tina neglect and decay
was a greater picture of desolation than
ever. He stationed himself where he
could best watch the northwest corner
OF the building. leaning his arms on a
headstone, and concentrating ms whole
ition had before shown Itself.
For a long time he so remained, till his
eyes began to ache with the nxity OF
their gaze.
AT length there appeared on the sur
face OF. the ground not more than TWO
sort Of wreath of vapor, as II seemed;
gradually gathering consistency and
moving very slowly along the ground to-
wards the tower, I'LL at length 1t took the
semhlanCe Of trailing garments.
1t was in the act OF disappearing as
1t had lone before, when with a peculiar
wavy motion Of the. drapery II suddenly
seemed to halt, leaving still a portion
distinctly visible, as though the mys-
FERROUS wearer Of the dress were standing
just behind the UNCOVERED corner. ,
Cortram felt his hair stand on end and
a cold dew seemed to break out on his
forehead. Nevertheless he felt impelled
to advance, AS though some hidden agen-
cy within him. more powerful man ms
" will, were using his limbs for its
own purpose. .
And still, as he got more abreast Of
the tower, as well as nearer TO 1t. more
and more Of the ghOstly drapery became
disclosed. til at length the tall figure Of
a woman. with a hood drawn over her
face, stood close beside him. ,
Curtram. as though In a dream, heard
a voice he did not recognize as his own,
vet Il voice using his tongue and his lips,
say. in "A huarSs whisper.
ain heavens name, what troubles
you?"
slowly the hood fell from the figures
face, n face unutterably sad and mex,
pressibly sweet, and It's shadowy hand
pointed TO the wall OF the tower. Then
the lines of the shape grew indlStinct ana
IL melted away. Cortram staggered FOR
ward and marked the spot towards
which the hand had pointed by tearing
Down a twig Of Ivy.
He then, with a SILVER, hurried home

him, and ere he had gone many yards
he fell down in a swoon. When he came

and II was close upon midnight. 49,.
AS he Crept home to his lodgings, sim
and cold. he determined to come next
day alone and thoroughly examine the
spot he had Misunderstanding the pro
foundest conviction that he was on the
verge OF some discovery. Accordingly,
after a good nights rest, feeling no Ill
effects from his adventure of the previous
evening, he went once more to the little
churchyard.
