ALEXANDER Il. MCGILL, the presen
Chancellor of the New Jersey Courts.
was on Thursday nominated by the
Democrats. at Trenton, for Governor.
The first ballot was taken up in the
nomination of the favorite SONS Of the
different counties, but the nomination
of Mr.. McGill was conceded before tie
call was finished, and it was made unani-
nous. There was never at any time a
doubt of the nomination of Mr.. McGill,
because he seemed to be the free choice of
the party without regard to factions or
boss influence. Undoubtedly he is the
man for the hour, and the one well cal
cnlated to make winning fight for De-
mocracy. Comparatively it may now be
said that the Democrats occupy once
more leading position. Their candidate
Is more able man than the candidate of
the Republicans; he has the advantage OF
large, natural Democratic majority, and
should poll every vote Of 1t because of his
freedom from anything and everything
in the past history of his party which for
short time lost it the control of the
State. The nomination of Mr. McGil
means a return to Jaffersonian and Joel
Parker Democracy, Il sort which for so
many years made New Jersey and her
Democratic rulers the pride of the ma
tiOnal party and OF the whole country.
New Jersey is Democratic State. and
given an honest candids te aud an honor
able issue. the voters of the State turn as
naturally to Democracy as the magnetic
needle to the north.
Chancellor McGill, LID, was born
in Pittsburg, Pa. about forty weight years
ago. He came to New Jersey in 1854,
when his father accepted professorship
in the Theological Seminary of the Col.
lege of New jersey. The Chancellor
graduated from that college in 1854, W hich
has since conferred on him the honorary
degree of LID, ana from Columbia
Law School, New York, in 1856. He
continued the study of The law with Ed
ward w. Scudder, then Justice of the
Supreme Court, at Trenton, and was ad-
mitted to the bar as all attorney i'm 1867
and as a counselor in 1870 He was coun.
sci for the city OF hayonne for TWO years.
in 1874 and 1875. when he also repre-
sented the then First District of Hudson
county in the House of the Assembly.

A TELEGRAM from Vineland states
that two or three sleek buncoers have
been victimzing the farmers thereabouts
by branG new trick. The sharpers
were selling stoves. They told the farm
ers that they could take the stoves and
keep them for months trial and need
not buy them if they were not satisfac-
tory. Many stoves were taken. When
they were delivered the farmer signed
what he thought was a receipt for the
stove, but in reality he signed note.
which the sharper promptly presented
at the Bridgeport bank aud negotiated.
1t may be that the time will come when
sharpers will no longer be able to play
their tricks upon the public, but it will
be after the public has ceased to have
business dealings with strangers and have
confined their trading to the regularly
established business men of their neigh
iborhood, who have good reputation tor
fair and hop orable dealing, and who may
readily be found when wanted.

Morrill, and George I.

The recent report made by George
T. Anthony, state superintendent of
insurance, in which he makes a vic
ious attack upon the fraternal sOcie-
ties is regarded as the most fatal blum
der of the present administration.
When Morrill, appointed Anthony his
friends told him he would regret it
before six months elapsed, but in the
face of the fact that Anthony failed
Of denomination for governor in 1878,
that he was kept out of the campaign
last year because Of his ultra gold
standard views, and the rebuke he re-
ceived at the polls in 1892 when can
didate for congressman-at-large, the
governor appointed him to a position
in which he can exercise the authority
of a czar. The superintendent of in
surance in Kansas has unlimited
power, and he is a law unto himself.
He can, with one stroke of the pen,
drive an insurance company from tie
state or issue an opinion as to the con-
dition of one which will virtually de-
stroy its business in that state.
1t was charged at the time of An
thongs appointment that it was the
elimination Of deal between Morrill,
and the eastern insurance companies.
1t is well known ttat Morrill, for
many years loaned money in north
eastern Kansas, which eastern insur-
ance companies placed in his hands
for investment. 1t is stated by those
who claim to know that Morrill, guar
anteed loans to the amount of several
hundred thousand dollars, and that
the insurance companies still hold
him for the payment Of interest and
principal, and that, were the compa-

MES so disposed, they could bankrupt

nies so disposed, they could bankrupt
him.
The recent report Of Anthony in
which he defends the old-line eastern
companies and attacks the home and
fraternal companies has caused deal
of comment. 1t looks like Anthony
was carrying out his contract and de-
Tending the companies which have
cinch on Morrill,, who is loaded down
with guaranteed loans, Republicans,
as well as members Of the opposing
parties, say Authony's attack looks
very suspicious and there are hints
that it is simply the carrying out Of
pledges made TO the insurance COmpa-
nies by Morrill,. who thus seeks to re-
lieve himself from financial obliga-
tiOn by using the Office of governor in
the appointment of man for superin-
tendent of insurance who will do the
bidding of eastern creditors. There
are many who believe that Governor
Morrill, wanted to reach the executive
office more for this purpose than to
honestly administer the duties of the
same.
When the next campaign comes
Governor Morrill, will have to explain
all these charges. He will be faced
by 100000 members of fraternal Or
ders, which Anthony, at his bidding,
insulted and sneered at. Every men,
Der of the A. o. U. w., Modern Wood
men, Odd Fellows, Masonic and other
fraternal societies comes in for a Casti-
cation from Anthony's vitriolic pen.
That they will resent it at the polls is
a settled fact, if the indignation al
ready expressed counts for anything.
The people of Kansas will not hold
Anthony personally responsible. They
will charge it up to Governor Morrill,,
who, they believe, instigated the at
tack in order that he might serve his
eastern creditors, who hold over him
the whip of guaranteed mortgages
amounting to many thousand dollars.

Hello. POpuIist Editors.


Why don't you arrange your affairs
in order that you can attend the Kan
sas Reform Press Association meeting
to be held in Wichita September 18th
commenciny at 9 o'clock a. M?
This will be very important meet
ing for each one of us. No editor has
attended the last two meetings with
out being well paid for his attendance.
'Why Are We Boycotted by the A.,
T. & S. F.?" is of importance to each
and every POpulist editor in Kansas.
A committee was appointed about six
months ago to enquire into the reason
why Populist editors can not get
transportation in exchange for adver-
tising the same as Republican and
Democratic editors. This committee
will report at the forthcoming meet
ing. This you know is of great i'm
potance to you and no doubt will keep
many away from the meeting who
otherwise would gladly attend.
There seems to be great complaint
over the ready print and plate matter
we are compelled to use. Many edit
ors don't desire to be compelled to ac-
cept either ready print or plate mat
ter that is continually abusing our
leaders and others who believe now
is the time to make our principle fight
on the financial question.
The writer knows of no man who
has iabOred longer, harder, more un-
selhshly and with less remuneration
than Brother Dunning Of the Watch
man, yet to accept ready print or plate
matter from either A. n. K, or W. N.
u, we are compelled to abuse, ridi-
cule and bemean the very men who
have been foremost in reform for
twenty years.
Not orly Dunning, but Weaver and
Others have come in for large share
of the same abuse. The free silver
men, too, must be kicked and cuffed
because they can't swallow the whole
of the Omaha platform at one gulp.
This is no time for fighting in our
own camp; neither is it time to make
faces at, or call those who are just
learning that there is financial or
silver question, names.
We have enough to attend to to
keep our guns turned on the enemy,
while at odd times it would be well to
say kind and encouraging word to
our brothers who are ready to take
the first and very important step in
the direction of political, financial and
industrial reform, by eSpousing the
free coinage of silver. Kansas reform
editors need matter especially prepared
for Kansas readers. All that is good
in Arkansas and Missouri is not al
ways best in Kansas.
There are over $50 Populist papers
in Kansas. Wecan and ought to have
our own matter prepared especially
for Kansas readers, and to suit our
selves without antagonizing our
friends Or even those who are friendly.
Then brother editors, attend the
Wichita meeting without fail, it mat
ters not whether you are member of
the organization or not, we want your
presence and you can't afford to be
absent. Better and more complete
organization; editorial transportation;
ready prints and plates; the campaign
Of 1876, and home and foreign advertis-
ing, will be some of the topics dis
cussed.
Ex-Governor L. D. Lewelling will
deliver the address Of welcome. A
profitable as well as an enjoyable time
is guaranteed. Hotel rates of 75c to
s1.50 per day have been secured.

A Political Preacher,

Kansas Commoner.
Rev. C. D. HeStwood pastor of the
Methodist church at Augusta, was a
delegate in the late Butler county
Republicans convention and made a
strong speech for a candidate whose
record is such as no decent conscien-
tious man can endorse. This same
Hestwood, we are told, was very ac-
tive In his efforts to drive Elder Bot
kin out Of the conference last spring
because the latter had decided to drop
out of the circumscribed pastorate for
time in order to plead the cause OF
the whole people. Those ministers
and church people who denounce Bot
tin as political preacher will never
utter a word Of criticism against
Hestwood, because he is Republican.

phetic words, which alas. the people

II can see as a result Of this legis-
latiOn, our business operations Grip
pied and wages for labor reduced to
a mere pittance. can see the beau
tiful prairies of my own state and the
great west, which are blooming as
gardens, with cheerful homes rising
like white towers along the p thway
of improvement, again sinking back
to idleneSS. / can see mortgage fiends
at their hellish work, ! can see the
hopes Of the industrious farmers blast
ed as they burn corn for fuel, because
its price will not pay the cost of trans
p0rtation and dividends on millions
Of dollars Of fictitious railway stocks
and bonds. l can see our people of
the west grOaning and burdened un-
der taxation to pay debts Of states,
counties and cities, incurred when
money was abundant and bright hopes
Of the future were held out to lead
them on, lean see the people Of our
western states, who are producers, re-
duced to the condition of SerfS to pay
interest on public and private debts
to the money sharks of Wall street
New York, and of Thread Needle
street, in London, England.
"All this will be accomplished by
withdrawing the treasury notes from

ume Of money, and then compel the
people to use personal checks in lieu

Commissioner FaurOt was held to
the grand jury in $1,000 bond Tues
day, at Argonia. He was charged, in
other terms Of course, of having re-
moved the distractions from the
pathway of the Republican party in
1893, enabling them to win in the race
for county offices, with no possibility
of reward or gain to himself. Such is
party gratitude. If Faurot has over
stepped the bounds of prudence in his
zeal for party, it should be looked up
on as it is-a result of ultra-partisan
education, methods, manipulation
such as surround us on every hand, in
every party, long licensed by long US
age, winked at, applauded, and re-
garded "a cute trick" rather than
crime or misdemeanor. Give the dev-
il his due. If there was sufficient
evidence of Faurot's guilt to hold him
to court, what's the matter with nail
ing the other parties in the deal to
the cross? Or did FaurOJ alone con-
coct this diabOlical conspiracy and
alone carry it to a successful issue?
Was he alone to blame for the unholy
co-habitation Of Republicans and
Democrats in 1893? Some other peo-
pie ought to swing on the same limb
with Faurot. Possibly the Monitor
Press boys were guilty Of corrupt
practices" in publishing a Democratic
paper in one room and a Republican
paper two doors away-both for reye.
nue.. Anyway you can fix it, Faurot
ought not to pay the penalty for the
misdeeds of hers.---OxfOrd Register.

An Exciting incident.

The following from the Pioneer Press
of Friday last, relative to former resi-
dent of this city, is full of thrilling inter-
est: Superintendent A. A. Whitney of
Itasca Park, has written State Auditor
Dunn an account of thrilling advent
ure he had near the south boundary of
the park.iast week with Leech Lake
Indian.
superintendent Whitney heard shoot
ing in the park and struck the trait of
an Indian. He follow wed it for mile or
more and came upon red man in the
act of trailing deer. The Indian was
a strapping fellow and acted ugly when
questioned by Superintendent Whitney.
Finally the latter concluded to cease
parleying with the Indian and told the
red man to surrender his gun. The re-
quest was met by the Indian raising his
rifle, presumably to shoot Superintend-
emit Whitney, but the latter had been
expecting some such demonstration, and
grabbed the barrel of the gun in time 60
defect the muzzle upwards and the shot
that was meant for him sailed into the
air.
The two then engaged iii rough and
tumble fight which lasted nearly half an
hour before Superintendent Whitney
finally secured slight advantage of his
adversary and reached for revolver to
tap the fellow over the head. The move
ment gave the Indian an opportunity to
wrench himselffree trom Whitney's grasp
and grabbing h,s rifle, he made dash
for liberty.
Whitney fired four shots from his re-
volver of the Indian. hitting him with
the last one, but not seriously wonnding
the redskin, az he marched TWENTY-FIVE
miles that night, leaving trail of blood
behind him for several miles.
Mr.. Whitney asks Auditor Dunn for
advice in regard to the proper method
ofgetting the Iudian from the agency,
as he intends to have him arrested and
punished. He says if the Indians are
allowed to poach on the park. the game
animals will soon he all killed off. State
Auditor Dunn referred the letter to At
torney General Childs, but has not yet
received an opinion from that official"
