"Why should the republicans OF Kan
sas go to the national convention hur-
raining for Mckinley, Reed or any
other candidate7 The convention
will be large and the opinions will be
at variance. Kansas has political
power and here may be presented an
opportunity to display it. 1t might
be possible for Kansas to name the
nominee II that be true why not
name Kansas man. George H.
Peck is an excellent selection. Let
us Join our forces and so against the
idea of engaging in delivery of the
delegation from this state a year or
more prior to the convention"
One Of the arguments which the
new managers are using is that Mr.
Peck would receive hearty support
from the south on account OF his
famous speech on the New South"
delivered in Virginia on June Ii and
published in the Capital Of June L.
This was a mastery GRAFTON, com
mending the south for its material
advancement and prosperity. 1t at
tracted widespread attention through
out the southern states and it is ar
gued that the southern republicans
would readily support a man from
the west, particularly Kansas man
and that man Mr.. Peck, against the
east and against OHIO
One of the principal ideas advanced
at the recent Peck convention with
regard to the matter was that the en-
tire proceedings should be a matter
of great secrecy and that an effort
would be made to organize a power
full combination, if 1t is possible to do
SO, before entering the field to break
the 40. called combination" for Nc
Kinley.
Governor Morrill, and Chairman
Leland are in favor of Mckinley.
The men who are preparing to boom
Mr.. Peck are opposed to the political
policy of the Governor and Mr.. Lee
land. The leaking out of the secret
may prove its destruction, but the
authority for the statement that such
a move IS contemplated and has in
fact been inaugurated is Of such a
character that 1t cannot be doubted

neighbors to come to the republican
convention and see how it was RIM
SO he came over and just before leav-
ing town on his way home remarked,
II used to be a good republican and
attended conventions, but l find the
same old crowd doing business at the
old stand" The publication Of prl-
vate conversations is at the best q
questionable procedure. We could
tell tales Of rascalities told to us by
one republican or democrat about q
party comrade. but before we take
this method of winning political VIC
tories, we will see the populIst party

Last Saturday evening Sandy
Barrons accepted an invitation to ride
down to Klrwin with John Bissell as
the former was not quite ready to 90
when his party left for home. On
the way down a dog ran out and
sprang at the horse the gentlemen
we're driving, frightening him so that
he sprang forward and broke one of
the shafts and started to run in cir
Gle, overturnlng the buggy and
throwing its occupants out. Mr..
Barrons was unconscious for about
half an hour, while Mr.. Bissell got
off but a little better and both are yet
feeling the effects of their tip out
Parties passing by picked up Messrs
Barrons and Bissell and took them to
a neighborng house where they were
patched up and taken on home.
Albert Weeks took o dose Of
stryCnine Monday from the effects Of
which he came near dying. Mr.
Weeks hes had more than an unusual
worry over business affairs, which
drove him to do this rash thing. He
is now under Dr. Wallace's care with
good prospects of recovery
John Strain will take a lay off soon
and clean up suit Of clothes he had
on yesterday. He WAS riding up
from the depot standing up in the
wagon, when the horse started mp
quickly, throwing John out in the
mud.

SPEAKING Of a fusion, a friend tells
us that last fall while in Topeka, he
was told by Messrs. An drews and Ed
mund, candidates for the legislature
on the republican and democratic
tickets, that the latter made his can
vass only in the interests of the cleo
ton Of Mr., Andrews, for if he had
withdrawn, enough democrats would
have voted for Mr.. Wagner to elect
him. How does that kind of fusion
suit, Brother DiSpatcb9

From the TOPEKA ChplAl,
Geo, r. Peck For President.
1t has leaked out in Topeka that
numGer of Kansas Republicans who
were both opposed to the sdministra-
ton and the instruction Of Kansas
delegates for Mckinley for president
are just now engaged 10 organizing
a Kansas boom which is planned to
result in the instruction of the Kansas
delegation 10 the national convention
for Geo. r. Peck for president of the
United States.
This action was agreed upon a few
days ago by conference of some of
the leaders in Topeka who are said to
Asye secured the cooperation of the
A'smoothest politicians" IN Kansas
aOne of the most promipent and dis
,tinguished rep1blicansin this state is
authority for the .ststenept that an
effort will be made to present bis
name to the convention,and if possi
BILE secure the nomination of MIR. Peck
in opposition to all other candidates.

The republicans Saturday nominat-
ed a good lot of men for the various
county Offices The policy of this
paper will be to make no personal

is surveyor Official acts of these
gentlemen however will be questioned,
and such as have any bearing upon
tho public will be commented on,
The candidate for surveyor taught
one year in the school at this place
aud at that time showed such an ut

we believe him to be untitled for the

--rhe pigpqtCh last week contained
reputed conversation bold between
It's editor and DR., Burt, leading
populist of Glenwood. The doctor
tells us that while he may have SAID
Just what the Dispatch attributes to
him, he was not talking to the editor
but to another man and to relatiye
of the party in question. We want
to say to Mr., Adee and other gentle
men in the county, who feel as he
does about the action OF the last pop
ullst convention, that granting that
the doctor SAID just what he is re-
ported to have said, that the express
sion is but bis individual opinion and
the publication of this private CONVEX
sation is done in hopes Of causing
diss ensions in the populist party.
The Dispatch feels that its cause Is
desperate and thus takes advantage
Of an opportunity to split up our
ranks. We urge all populists to ov-
erlook that kind Of politics and Join
hand in hand against the common
enemy. Mr.. Adee and his friends
are wanted in the populist camp. II
perchance the party has not done just
what they think best they should stay
with it, and If, as alleged, rugsters
and boodlers have got in, get the bet
ter element to turn them out BRAIN
erd's name is used as a ringster, but
in as much RS this is the first county
convention he ever attended as del
egate, and Mccormick, too, is in the

nection we want to relate 8 little

A CURIOUS CALCULATION.

An eminent physician has made 2 curioAf
mathematical calculation in giving thee
workings of the human heart in mileage
He shows that in lifetime of "a years
the blood as it passes through the heart is
thrown distance of 5,l50,880 miles, which,
in continuous stream, would reach around
the world FOG times
Keeping in view this constant strain on
the heart, and taking into consideration the
abuse it receives FROM oyer.exertion, alco-
holic and other stimulants, is i any wonder
that il finally becomes affected, refuses 70
perform its work, and causes death? The
fact can be readily understood that one IN
four has a weak heart, also the Importance OF
treating that organ as soon as its affected con-
dition is in the slightest degree manifested.
Reader if you have any reason whatever
for believing your heart to be affected, you
should attend to it at once. Do not hest
tate. Many persons who die suddenly Of this
disorder have never suspected It's presence,

THE souTH,s GREAT FAIR.

At the point where Sherman thun-
dered on Atlanta 81 years ago the Cot
ton States and International exposition
is fast taking shape, and by the 18th of
September will have assumed proper
tons second to none in international
enterprises of this character, except
ing only the Worlds Columbian ex-
position of 1893 This enterprise marks
a turning point in the history Of the
southern states.
1t is not by any means a local or pro-
vinoial affair, and the term cotton
states would be entirely too narrow a
designation, if not accompanied by the
broader word international, which
truly describes the ambitious enter
prise. It was first proposed to call it
the @Pan-American" exposition, but
even the western hemisphere would
not measure its scope.
The exposition has received the in
dorsement of the United States gov
eminent, congress having appropriated
100000 for a government building
and exhibit. An eligible site has been
assigned for this building, which will
be one of the finest structures on the
grounds. The practical experience of
the board having this exhibit in charge
viii make it the most comprehensive
and interesting ever made by the
United States government.
The exposition has also received the
Endorsement Of the legislatures and
principal commercial bodies Of all Of
the southern states. and reasonable as
suranes has been given that many Of
them viii be represented by state
buildings aud exhibits.
Besides several exhibits announced

which ere likely 70 be represented, the

SIGNS OF THE TINES.

It begins to look as if the gambling
business on the board of trade vas a
Kilkinny cat fight. The gamblers in
that den have fallen upon hard lines,
and what anti-option. anti-gambling
laws have failed to do, the logic Of
events appears to be doing. There has
been a fierce fight raging between the
board and the elevator men and there
are indications that the elevators and
not the option dealers viii set the
price Of grain. The producer viii not
lose anything on this change, though
he may not be helped much, for the
elevators are as accomplished in the
work of fleeing the farmer as the
board of trade gamblers are. Any
thing, however. that viii abolish the
gambling methods of the board viii be
welcome. For long time thsse fellows
have been consuming themselves.
They have not been able to induce out
siders to trust their money to the ten
der care of the operator on the board,
and consequently most of their bust
ness has been on the dog eat-dog plan.
The result has been that many of
them, most of them, have been severe
" pinched. We have now several who
have become paupers, and more are
pressing hard upon the verge of bank
ruptcy. Hard times have thus been of
some benefit, and perhaps it may be
said that the board is dong more legi-
innate business proportionately than
it has done for many years. Still there
is room for improvement. It takes q
vast deal of purifying elements to
clean up thing that has been becom-
ing foul for several decades.

IF MONEY WAS GOLD.

There is a few men in all countries
who would be enriched if the world
would go on gold standard, and there
are millions of fools who would be
directly injured by such g disaster who
are breaking their necks to make such
a thing possible.
If all the gold in the world could be
condensed into a cube it would only
measure . feet square. This handful
of metal would be the medium of ex-
change between the nations Of the
world and for domestic use.
This gold is estimated to be worth
1852 10000, and allowing for the
amount lost, wore out, and used for
ornaments and in the arts, there is
only half that in use for money. There
fore, the gold in use for monetary purr
poses could be contained in a cube
11x22 feet, its value ,79l,3O2 800 If
this were to be divided equally between
the l ,487, 100000 people of the earth it
would give a per capita circulation
of s12O.
Values of course, would fall TO the
new level, and a laboringman who now
commands 81 per day would then re-
ceive the munifcent sum of s cents
per diem; and property that is now
worth $4,000 would then be costly at
s125.
Toward this condition the goldbugs
of America and England are rushing.
Why? Because as the standard of value
is enhanced their holdings are increas-
ed in like proportion as the pay of the
laborer and the price of the produc-
tons of the producer is decreased. In
other words a debt of $1,000 would be
increased to $4,000.
The fallacies of this goldbug rot is
apparent to every man who thinks in
dependently and for himself. The Sin
fatiOn Of currency" instead of being a
calamity would be a blessing to all but
few milliOnaires and money changers
who have wrung their wealth from the
needy poor by unjust laws and priyi-
leges granted them by servile and cor
rupt governments.
The single standard of gold means
for any nation or the world a relapse
of civilization, the enthroning of kings,
the enslaYement of nations, the decline
of education and invention, the resume
of feudalism and the beginning of an
era of degradation equaled only by the
dark ages.
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1895-05-10

The goldbug forces have sent out
PROSECUTING expedition. Eekels, Car
Isle, Morton, Depew and Hoke Smith
are among the most notorious of the
band. They will endeayor to reeonvert
the masses to the theories of the single
standard by the influence of patronage
Of government and the wealth of the
bondholders of Wall street. Will they
succeed in securing the birthright of
the American people for a mess of
potage? These glib-tongued orators
have only the interests of the money
power at heart. They care nothing for
the wants or sufferings of the common
people. They realize that the bimetal-
lie sentiment threatens, in a measure,
the hold that the money power has on
the producer. No better argument
exists for bimetallism than the fact
that these men, the known tools Of
Wall street, are taking the field
against it.
