NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Chairman Stryker wanted to take
at the votes in hat.
Three or four democratic town
ships were represented by one delegate
and no questions asked.
Hon. M. w. Cobun will hardly de-
sert his fall blowing in order to throw
himself into the campaign.
What bothers US is to understand
how Capt. Newton and Smed Wilkin-
son can work in the harness together,
Deacon Armstrong says if the pops
cannot get anything they can at least
keep the democrats from getting any
thing.
Ii was exceedingly amusing to see
how fearful some of the good brothers
were that they might nominate a ticket
with some prospects of winning.
George Stryker was on hand to
pledge the free silver republicans to
the pops, in case the pops put up a
straight democrat hater ticket. Slick
move on the part of the repubs.
Some of the sporting delegates had
probably seen Kackley cline Ter out to
first" or curve ball over home plate,
and therefore thought he would make
an average surveyor. But Kackley
would not be victim.
Such popular, energetic and level
headed young men as Elmer Epperson,
Randall Livesay, Mel Simpson, Mel
Harrison and Isom Wright were not
wanted in that crowd; they were not
'.solid'' enough with Deacon Arm
strong.

POPULIST CONVENTION.
The MiddIe-Of- the Road, Prohib- Female
Suffrage Element on Top.

/ 4
Suffrage Element or Top.
The convention of the populist party
to nominate a county ticket was called
to order at Hoisington last Saturday
forenoon, and T. H. Butler made tenn
porary chairman and w. F. Honen
temporary secretary. The usual COM
mittees were appointed and the working
machinery started, and an adjournment
was then taken to 80 p. m.
After dinner Prof. Stryker was put IN
as permanent chairman and the reports
of the different committees were heard.
When these reports were in it was plain
that the Armstrong Newton Brinson
element had got things fixed up satisfac
torily and the convention would be run
according to their masterful ideas.
The resolutions pledged allegiance to
the Omaha platform; favored the free
coinage of gold and silver at a ratio of
10 to I; commended Senator Armstrong
for getting a fees and salaries bill pass
ed by the populist senate last winter,
and condemned Representative Cole for
not getting it passed by the republican
house.
The order of business provided for
the nomination of candidates in the fol
lowing order, viz: I, treasurer; 2, reg
ister of deeds; 8, representative; 4,
clerk, 5, surveyor; 6, coroner.
Deacon Armstrong moved that all
nominees be brought out by informal
ballot; carried.
An informal ballot was then taken for
treasurer, resulting as follows: T. o.
Cole o2, Miller 5, Joe Strothman S.
Deacon Armstrong moved that the
rules be suspended and the nomination
of Cole be made unanimous, which was
of course done.
An informal ballot was then taken for
register of deeds, as follows: T. c.
Downey SO, Klein II, J. w. Downey Q,
H. Uden 2, NJ. L. Harrison I, w. F.
Honen 1.
Deacon Armstrong here thought best
to have the candidates come up and say
whether or not they were for ssfusion. ="
and moved that all candidates stand up
and be sized up.

led to the slaughter that way, said he
''never had been fusionist and hoped
he never would be; was elected justice
of the peace in his township and there
fore had a good standing and good
qualifications
]. w. Downey said he ''was not
built that way himself and thought it
now time to cut loose from the con-
Eliminating influence of democracy.
Mel Harrison .sthanked his one lone
some friend for going him a vote, but
did not know what he done it for:" was
not candidate for that Office, but in
timated that he would be a candidate
for county superintendent next year.
Henry Uden thought it pretty hot
place for his kind of people and was not
a candidate for any Office IN that con-
vention.
A formal ballot was then taken-T.
c. Downey 70, J. w. Downey 70,
Klein S. T. c. declared the nominee
for register of deeds.

with their votes; am glad there are so
many who have confidence in me, and
can say that with a few exceptions
haye confidence in all the people of
Barton county; but have had honors
enough and decline, positively. to be a
candidate
Isom Wright was not present-he had
probably heard that Deacon Armstrong
would not support him (Wright) if
nominated, because he was not a sub
scriber to Deacon Armstrong; organ
but o. A. Smith politely declined the
nomination for Mr.. Wright.
Deacon Armstrong: I'm pop, but
not a candidate, - and he sat down with
2x4 smile that plainly said: "It's
lots cheaper to pull the strings than to
dance or pay the fiddler"
Randall Livesay; 81 could not af-
ford to run for office; don't carry this

James w. McCauley positively de-
clined to permit his name to be used.

JAMES W. SCOTT DEAD.
Proprietor of the Chicago Tim S.
Herald Expires Suddenly in
New York.

New York, April 15.-James w. Scott,
proprietor of the Chicago Times Herald
and the Chicago Evening Post, died Sun
day afternoon at 3 o'cock at the Holland
house, this city. HIS death was very
sudden He was taken with pains III
the left side this morning, and Il doctor
was called. He said the pain arose from
the passage OF a stone from the bladder
and administered morphine. AT l o clock
Mr.. Scott became unconscious and the
doctor was hastily summoned again. lie
found that apoplexW had supervened, Nrob-
ably brought on from the pain, and Mr.
Scott died without recovering CONSCIOUS

the only relatives with him.

to start IL trade daily called the National

the management to- his partner and joined
a number of other young men in the Chi
cago Herald in 1881.
Last March Mr. Scott became sole pro
prietor of the Herald, which had grown
from a struggling sheet to one of the
most influential papers III the West, and
of the Evening Post. Later the Old
Chicago Times was merged with the
Herald and the paper became the Times
Herald.
Mr.. Scott was for years president of
the American Newspaper Publishers as
ISOLATION, Il body which he was largely
instrumental in founding. For three con
Secutivc terms he was president of the
Chicago Press club. He was Il member
Of every club of Importance in Chicago
and also of the Glover club of Phladel-
phia. In addition. he was conspicuous
in all social and public movements of i'm
portance. Mr.. Scott was 4 member OF
the board of directors of the Worlds
fair, at one time declining the presidency

known war survivors in the state, died

o'clock left his home for a short stroll
down town. While passing through the
courthouse park he was stricken. falling
to the sidewalk Two men who recog-
nized him conveyed him to his home,
where medical aid was promptly sum-
moned. Drs. Q. w. Carlson and Corwir
7. Steele responded a few moments after.
shortly before l o'clock they left the
house. believing that Co. Pier was in no
immediate danger. The physicians had
been gone but Il few moments when re-
iapse came which proved fatal:
Col. Pier is survived by widow. Mrs.
Kate Pier, and three daughters, the
Misses Kate, Harriet and Caroline. No
arrangements for the funeral have been
made. but the interment will be at Fond
du Lac. his former home, and the serv-
ices here will probably be on Tuesday.
The G. A. r., of which he was promi-
nent member, will be largely represented.
