Nash is considered the administration or
Mckinley candidate. Senator Sherman
is generally considered as favorable TO
Mckinley for president
1t is thought that Sherman will head
the Ohio delegation to the next national
Republican convention and that he
would like to assist in selecting his asso- =
ciates for that occasion.
Foraker no doubt will also be a dele
gate at large and if the factional fight
ing should continue through 1896, it
would result in Sherman and Foraker
leading the divisions of the Ohio delega-
tiOn at the next national convention.
1t is cited that when Brice was select
ed as senator. that James L Campbell
as governor gave him the support of the
state administration. The next senator
ial caucus will be held in January Just
after Mckinley retires as governor and a
will be selected to the next national Re-
publican convention. The active sup
porters of Governor Mckinley are Just
as anxious to have the next governor and
other state officers friendly to their man
as are the Foraker men.
1t is with the expectation that neither
Bushnell nor Nash can can be nominated
that the conservative friends of other
candidates depend on their ability to
have HOyt or some other candidate nom
mated for governor on the pledge that
no part will hereafter be taken in the
selection of senator, of delegates to

the national convention. The Hovt men
are confident and claim 200 votes on the
first ballot.
The convention was called to order bv
Col. Joseph c. Bonner, chairman of the
state committee. Colonel Bonner re-
viewed the last two state campaigns at
some length and then introduced Senator
sherman as the temporary chairman.
Senator Sherman then made a brief
speech In which he reviewed the record
OF the Republican party and suggested
a. policy for the future. Touching upon
the present phase of the money question
"fhe policy now urged by the pro-
oucers OF silver and the men who wish
TO pay their debts in cheaper money than
they promised to pay. is the free coinage

dollar dollar to 90 cents. If applied to our
naIional oond, 1t is repudiation of one

any kind whatever, of the farm, the
workshop or the mine, for if they get
nominally more dollars for their produc-
tions, their additional dollars would have
only half the purchasing power of the
gold dollars.
"The great hardship of this policy
would fall upon the workiugmen, skilled
and unskilled, whose daily wage meas
ured by the present standard is higher
than that of any country in the world.
Their wages will purchase more of the
necessaries of life than the wages paid
for similar labor anywhere outside of the
United States.
"The Republican party in it's national
party of 1892 demanded good money of
equal purchasing powers, whether coin
ed of silver or gold, or composed of
United States notes and National Bank
notes. based upon the credit of the
United States, maintained at par with
coin. This is the bimetalIic policy.
There we stand today.
I'VE will seek the cooperation of all
nations in maintaining the parity of gold
and silver coined. If they will not CO.
operate with US in this policy, the Re-
publican party can, and i hope will, do
it alone. Good money and plenty of it
is as important to all our people as
equally of rights and privileges"

A Woman Who Knows About the COndi-

To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:

Scranton and that relief is not needed or
wanted l know so much better for 1

The Capital tries to make the condi-
tiOns that exist now, conform to its prom
ises before election. Kansas is "re-
deemed" therefore money is plen-
ty, times are good, and he who COM
plains of poverty now is liar and a
Populist and is injuring Kansas and its
administration, therefore, suppress him.
Let me suggest, without intending vio-
lence to the feelings of dealers in other
coal, that our citizens can greatly assist
the miners and business men of that re-
gion by using Scranton, Burlingame and
Usage coal instead of the state peniten =
tiary or Missouri coal. 1t is probably as
good and costs no more and is a direct
help to all in Topeka's tributary terrific
ry.
These people need help in the way of

"And again." continued Mr., Waters,

was seen at his home ond said: 81 know
only of the decision as it appears in the
papers, and assuming that it is correctly
reported it appears the case was not de-
cided on its merits, but that it was found
that the circuit court having final juris-
diction, its act was not renewable by the
supreme court, and, therefore, the writ
was denied.
Il expected a favorable decision, but
am not disappointed. After the decision
by that tribunal upon the income tax bill
l am not at all surprised to see the deci-
sion of the lower court affirmed in our
case. Both decisions are absolutely in
the interest of the corporations, syndi-
Gates and trusts. which dominate every
department of the government, includ-
ing the supreme court
"Jefferson's prophecy is being liter
ally fulfilled. The sappers and
miners, as he denominated them,
are at work undermining the fed
eral public. State rights are prac-
tically eliminated, while the right of
citizen to a trial by jury of his peers
as vouchsafed by the constitution, is
broken down. Every federal judge now
constitutes a czar. The decision of the
supreme court has crowned and sceptered
them and given them an autocratic
sway. They can now issue any kind of
injunction restraining any man from
doing anything, and then deprive him of
his liberty after simply going through
the farce of a hearing before the same
Judge issuing the injunction.
"Railroad corporations may now re-
duce wages and force any kind of condi-
tions upon their employees without fear
of their resignation. If employees see tit
to quit they can be put in jail for exer-
cising this prerog&tive. This infamous
outrage has now the judicial sanction of
the supreme court of the United States.
1t is notoriously true that the people of
this country, excepting a small minority
that are direct beneticiaries of
such monstrous perversion of justice,
have no confidence in the SUI
preme court Not only this, but the
criminal autocrats have no confidence in
each other.
ITO substantiate this it is only neces-
sary to read the scathing arraignme mt
of Justice Harlan by his judicial asso-
ciates.
