manded fair play for the Jefferson county
brother For a time the chair would
hear nothing, but pounded with the gavel
and the convention yelled Still Mr..
Kelly kept talking. 1t took several
minutes to find out that he meant bust
ness, and then he was allowed to state
the case and move to reconsider.
The old man held aIoft his
four receipts for the dollar and
was submitted to reconsider. 1t carried
and the four votes from Jefferson county
were added to the list The old man
was happy and turned around to thank
Mr.. Kelly, but he was gone.
At another time Jim Simpson of Nc
Pherson declared that four votes from
his county had not been counted, but
when the chairman pinned him down, he
could not tell the name of solitary
member of the deleg CATION. and he was
howled down.
After this sort of thing had lasted at
least two hours, Mr.. Bone made an at
tempt to withdraw from the race in ''the
interest of harmony and publicanism."
He was not allowed to. however, and
Mr.. Scott felt called upon to make a
little speech in which he regretted that
Mr.. Bone had anticipated him so thor
oughly and begged that Mr.. Bone be not
Withdrawn and that the vote should
go on.
By this time the secretary had the
records of eleven other delegations who
had not yet voted and after peace had
been restored they were called and the
vote closed.
The count stood: Scott, 522; Bone 1872,
and Mr.. Scott was declared elected presi-
dent of the league.
It WAS now $40 o'clock and a motion
was made to have the secretary cast the
vote of the convention for Harry Bone
for vice president and it carried with a
hurrah.
There was no opposition to Charley
Gault for another term as secretary and
he was elected unanimously. Grant
Hornaday of Fort Scott was made treas
urer in the same manner, and the con-
vention adjourned till after supper.

~wHO IS DoLLIvER ?''

Chas. NJ. Sheldon Wanted to Know and
Found Out All About Him.
Some of the members of the Repub-
ltcan League convention tell, with great
deal of good-natured raillery, story on
G. NJ. Sheldon, who has just retired as
president of that organization. 1t places
Mr.. Sheldon, who is considerable of
joker himself, in a position to be smiled
at, and those of his acquaintance who
had taken his chaf were glad of the op-
portunity to turn the laugh back.
The arrangements for the league con-
vention were made for the most part by
members of the executive committee
who lived in Topeka, for the reason that
it was we'll nigh impossible to get the
whole committee together, and number
of them were in this city as
we'll as the secretary. The plans were
mostly made therefore, and MT Sheldon
informed of them afterward. When he
heard that John P. Dolliver had been
chosen to address the league he wrote in
hurriedly and excitedly: "Who in thun-
der is Dolliver? We want some man who
is known"
The leaguers here were a little sur
prised that Mr.. Sheldon's political infOr
nation was so circumscribed, and won
dered where he had been for the last
ten years, but as one of the objects of the
league Is the dissemination OF IdctS ABOUT
Republicanism and political history in
general, they kindly set themselves to
the task of giving Mr. Sheldon light.
Some men were found who were more
fortunate than the league president, and
did know who Mr.. Deliver was. They
we're willing to share this knowledge
with the less fortunate
Congressman Charles Curtis imme-
diately wrote to Mr.. Sheldon:
"Outside of Reed, Cochran and posi-
bly, one or two others, he attracted more
attention than any other member of con-
gress"
j. G. Slonecker heard Mr. Dolliver in
New York u year or two ago, when he
spoke from the same platform with Nc
Kinley, Hiscock and others. and he as
sured Mr.. Sheldon that "DOIliver made
the best speech delivered on that occa-
SION"
Lieutenant Governor Troutman didn't
want Mr.. Shel4on to remain in the dark
moment more than absolutely neces-
sary and he telegraphed him:
"Dolliver is one of the most attractive
orators in the nation and the league is
very fortunate in inducing him to ad
dress it.
This was quite enough to satisfy Mr..
Sheldon that the league was not making
an irreparable blunder so he acquiesced
in the choice of Mr. Deliver, though it
is said he didn't enjoy his speech just as
thoroughly as he might have # his
knowledge of the Iowa congressman 3
identity had been secured when other
people acquired theirs.

COMES OUT FOR SILVER.
The Leagues Resolutions Demand the Us
of All American Silver as Money.

The Leagues Resolutions Demand the Use
of All American Silver as Money.
The Republican league convention
adopted its resolutions without fight,
although the committee on resolutions
was in session all afternoon trying to set
tie the silver question, or at least the
position the Republican league should
take on that question.
At the opening of the evening session
Chairman Ed Greer of the committee on
resolutions read the report of the COM
mittee, which was adopted without de-
bate and with only one dissenting vote.
One delegate from Congressman Cal
derhead's district shouted Iusty "No,"
and the people laughed.
The following are the resolutions as
adopted:
''The Republican State League of Kan
sas, in eighth annual convention assem-
bled, congrasulates the state upon the
splendid victory which restored this com :
monwealth to the control of the party
which has always conducted its affairs
with wisdom, prudence and honesty and
redeemed it from the unpatriotic princi-
pies and the vicious and dishonest prac-
tice of Populism.

Talks Conservatively on the Silver Cues
ton Last Night.
Congressman Charles Curtis was
warmly applauded when he talked of
silver, at the league convention last
night
Mr.. Curtis said that whatever the
European nations do the Republican
party in 1896 must take a stand for silver.
He said:
"The Republicans of Kansas have
opened the fight and it will not cease
until the polls close in November, 1895.
There are in my mind three things which
l consider necessary to the return of
prosperity in this country. First, we
must return to the banner system of pro-
lection. Second, we must establish the
use of two kinds of money, gold and
silver and paper money redeem
able in gold and silver, and third
we must adopt policy which
will protect American laboring men by
the restriction of foreign immigration
In addition to this we must institute a
vigorous foreign policy and look well
after the old soldiers. the defenders of
this nation, who are now the victims of
the secretary of the interior."i

Do1liver Made "Sound" Money Speech
and CaIderhsad Chimed In.
At the evening session of the league
the large hall was crowded after Mar
shalrs band had played two selections and
the resolutions had been adopted. Presi-
dent Charles f. Scott introduced the
speaker of the evening Congressman ].
P. Dolliver of Iowa who for almost two
hours talked Republicanism.
Mr.. Delivers speech was highly en-
tertaining. His views as expressed in
his interview published in this paper
yesterday were the outlineof his speech.
He did not appear to relish the idea of
talking sound money" to a silver au-
dience, as he knew the one he was ad-
dressing to be. and he accordingly
abused the fat money makers, as there
were none of them supposed to be pres
ent.
When Mr.. Dolliver had concluded Con-
gresham Calderhead was called for and
spoke for a few moments. Mr.. Calder
head said he endorsed every word and
sentiment uttered by Mr. Dolliver in his
speech.

Tenth street last evening at $3.50 o'clock
it found the large frame dwelling at 113
on that street in Immediate danger of de-
struction by fire. The entire south side
and roof were ablaze and people were
busy carrying the furniture from the
front rooms.
1t required hard work to save the
building as it was as dry as finder aud
burned like brush heap The fire spread
20 the frame dwellings on either side. but
did little damage to those houses.
The large building which was badly
damaged was occupied by J. F. BuzzeiI,
a street car conductor, and the upper
rooms were occupied by "roomers." The
damage to this building, which was
owned by T. B. Thompson, will probably
be $1,000
The fire started in the kitchen and that
room was all on fire before it was dis
covered.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-When the
Durrant case was called this morning the
defendant entered the courtroom smiling,
accompanied by his parents and an elderly
lady friend. He was the same self
possessed individual he has been since
his arrest, and he seemed less concerned
to-day than heretofore. if such thing be
possible
I'VE would ask your honor" said Mr..
Deuprey soon after court opened, that
an order be made directing the reporter
to furnish the defense with copy OF the
testimony taken day by day."
Mr.. Barnes Joined in the request, and
the order was made.
Mr.. Deuprey had another gun to fire.
He wished all the witnesses excluded.
The court thought the motion rather
premature.
Il think not, your honor" responded
Mr.. Deuprey. 81 understand the District
Attorney intends to touch on the evil
dence in his opening address,"
"All witnesses in this case, with the
exception OF the officers VINO have made
the arrest, will please retire." ordered
Judge Murphy. Those whom the man
date of the court affected reluctantly arose
and walked out The bailitf took them
in charge and conducted them to Judge
Murphy's chambers.
District Attorney Barnes arose, and in
a clear voice and in convincing style
made the opening statement to the Jury.
At one point in the address Mr. Barnes
alluded to the finding OF the mutilated
body of Minnie Williams, but it was met
with an objection from Deuprey for the
defense.
II will permit you to proceed" replied
Judge Murphy, but 1 do not say that
! will allow you to prove it, as that is q
matter which will have to be decided
later on"
Judging by the District Attorneys
/ statement, it is evident that he will at
tempt to connect the two crimes by the
/ introduction of testimony connecting the
! defendant with the murder of Miss Will
! iams.
