SUFFRAGE IN CALIFORNIA.
Mrs. c. Chapman Gait Has Hopes
of It's Success.

San Francisco, Sept. 14.-At the meet
ing of the California Suffrage aSsocia-
ton held Saturday afternoon in Golden
cate nail, there was a large attendance
Of ladies' who had ASSEMBLIES to listen to
Mrs. Chapman Gait of New York the
national organizer of the WOman'S Suf-
frage association.
MRS Cats address Saturday was on
the work done in Colorado and how it
had been influenced by the action of
wyoming on the woman suffrage Ques-
ton She spoke Of the early efforts of
the woman suffra gists in Wyoming in
1870 and then told of what was done 20
years later and Of the final triumph of
the cause followed by the influence that
triumph had in the effort to obtain the
enfranchisement of women in Colorado
She then told of the efforts of the Eng
lish brewery syndicate of Denver, Col,
to defeat the movement for woman suf-
frage, and when that became known it
brought an unusual number of friends
to the woman's cause. She declared
that she felt that California and Idaho
would grant the right of franchise to
women this fall. and that it having been
granted, in 1902 every state and terri
tory would place woman on the plane
on which she is by right destined to
stand.
That accomplished, the women, she
said, would then be in a position to up
lift humanity and make a better world.
The movement which is now going on
in the United States she declared would
not only benefit American women, but
would eventually benefit all the women
of the world She urged upon all pres
ent to do what they can for the cause
and they will be rewarded by obtaining
the right to vote as fully as the men.
The Rev. Anna Shaw made a few re-
marks eulogizing Mrs Gait in her work,
and declared that when Miss Anthony
heard of Mrs. Cats arrival she ex-
claimed: Ten thousand tons have been
lifted off my shoulders" The speaker
spoke encouragingly of the prospects
for carrying the amendment in this
state, and said that advices from San
Diego and Ukiah are all right for Wo-
man suffrage in November.

MR.. WHITNEY'S SIDE OF 1T.
Replies to Kansas City Times Crit
cisn of Miss HerrelIs Dismissal

To the Editor of The State Journal
The article in your paper of the 18th,
copied from the Kansas City Times and
referring to this Office, is misleading
and untruthful. Similar statements
were made in your paper last spring to
which 1 did not reply; but now that
they appear again I desire to enter
denial As to the boycott alluded to,
we did not know it, the representatives
of the leading dalies of Topeka, The
Journal included, are frequent callers
at this office. The statement that prom
Uses were made to retain Miss Herrel
is not true; neither Past Commander
Harris. Curly Harrison or any one
else said one word to me as to retain
ing Miss Herreu, neither at the en-
campment or service and Adjutant
General Niles could not have made
promises as stated as no one, not even
myself, knew who would be appointed
until the business of the encampment
was over, even Miss Herrel herself did
not apply for the position and the first
time she came to the Office she was told
that her services were not required.
Adtutant General Niles had undOubt-
ed right to perform the duties of the
office if he desired to and Miss HerreL
had no more claim on this office than
on any other Office or business house in
the city. Respectfully yours,
VIM. c. WHITNEY,
Department Commander.

HANNA STANDS BY BLACKS
Won't Recognize the Lilly White
Louisiana Republicans.

New Orleans, Sept. 1.-THE Picayune
has the following special from Chica-
go:
Chairman Hanna of the Republican
national committee has given the lilly
whites" of Louisiana to understand
that their ticket will not be recognized
by the national committee on the
ground that the committee does not
intend to draw the color line or have
official knowledge of any such line in
this campaign. As a consequence there
must be a readjustment of affairs in
elements can get together and appor-
committee will overlook the state or
ganization.
The lilly whites naturally figured
on getting the recognition of the ma
tional committee, and placed a ticket
in the field which had on it no coIored
electors 1t was also figured that this
ticket would get the support of the SUI
gar men, and, in fact, be the regular
Republican ticket in the state. But
Chairmn Hanna has spoiled the plan.
Now matters in Louisiana are ap-
preaching a point where the cOlOred
voters will be given a representation
on the ticket, and q fusion between the
allied Republicans sound money Demo
Gratis and POpulists is likely.
Chairman Hanna has made it under
colOred vote is 3, large proportion Of the
whole, that it must not be discrimin-
ated against, or that, at least. any tick
ct that does discriminate viii not be
recognized by the nationol committee
as regular.

DRUNK AND SHOOTING.
Tough CoIored Men Put Lives in Jeop-
ardy on Monroe Street.

Peaceful Topeka, or part of it, was dis
turbed in its Sunday evening services
last night about $3.50 by an exhibition
of wild west that would have done cred
it to a frontier town
Three colored men, drunk, yelling
and shooting, took possession of Mon
roe street for half an hour and people
who did not care to get hurt moved in
to their back rooms.
The three toughs were 6. w. Gayden,
John Mccoy and an old man named
Hanks. None of them is young.
They had been drinking for several
hours and just about church time began
to get particularly noisy.
About $50 o'clock somebody notified
the police and officers AGcElroy and
Zeller began search for them.
Dan Wyatt said they passed his house
at Seventh and Monroe streets about
$50 and were very noisy. At Eighth
and Monroe streets several shots were
fred by members of the crowd and A
V. Auter, who was out in his yard at
the corner of Ninth and Monroe streets,
says he distinctly heard bullet Whis-
tie past him.
The men were shooting straight down
the street ahead of them.
From there they headed for 1.-The old
shot tower at Fourteenth and Quincy
streets getting drunken as they went.
When they were within a block of
the old building, which is a sort of
gathering place for Negro toughs, Gay
den fired another shot, Just to let EN-
know I was COMM" he afterwards said.
At the tower, after a few more drinks
possibly, the crowd got into a free fight
and began throwing rocks. Gayden was
struck in the region of the left eye and
badly hurt and Hanks, who was struck
on the head, has it tied up today.
Mccoy drew a revolver during the
fight and shot three times at Gayden.
Gayden shot back once.
It was about here that the officers.
who had been hard on their trail, ar
rived.
All three of the men made a break
for liberty.
Mccoy and Hanks succeeded in getting
away in the darkness but Gayden was
taken to the police station.
Mccoy and Hanks are being searched
for today by the officers.
People along Monroe street were bad
ly startled.
Gayden's case will be heard in the
police court this afternoon.

IS THE STAR" FOR BRYANP

IFrom the Kansas City StarI
Whatever doubts may have been en-
tertained heretofore with reference to
Tom Watson's purpose in the present
campaign may now be said to be re-
solved. His visit to Kansas and his
speeches within that state make plain
his desire to defeat the election of Mr..
Bryan unless that result is accompa-
MED by his own election to the vice
presidency. This is shown in his urg-
ing upon the Kansas Populists the
nomination of separate electoral tick
ct. Such a policy will make the success
of the Mckinley electors in Kansas as
certain as in Vermont, and with Kansas
eliminated from the Bryan column, he
has small chance of election.
It is not easy to discern what inf1u-
ences impel Mr.. Watson to his strange
course. He pretends to believe in the
several heresies which represent the
doctrines of the Populist party, most
of which were adopted by the Chicago
convention and have been approved by
Mr.. Bryan in his letter of acceptance.
He protests an abiding faith in the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of Is to 1, and an anxiety to pro-
mote the adoption of that policy. Yet
in the course he has adopted in Kansas
he win do more to defeat that result
than all the Democrats and Populists
who are supporting the fusion ticket
combined will be able to do for it. In
other words he will present the eIector-
al vote of Kansas to Mckinley. and
that without doing himself the least bit
Of good
No doubt a vast body Of the people
VIII approve the course Mr.. Watson

PULLMANs AND MAIL CARS.

In what has been said in cOndemna-
ton of the national administration for
it's action in relation to the Debs strike
and also in what has been said in the
administrations defense, both sides
seem to be shooting wide of the mark.
The whole matter appears to rest upon
a question Of fact rather than on the
DRY or law. That the transmission Of
the United States mails was being in
terfered with there is no question. That
the national authority had a constitu-
tional right to intervene does not seem
to admit of a doubt. The whole con
troversy seems to have grown out of
question as to who was at fault. A
proper settlement of the matter would
therefore seem to rest on this question
of fact. The railroad companies com
planned that they could not move their
trains carrying the mails. The strik-
ers asserted that they were willing not
only to allow the mail trains to move
but to assist in moving them, provided
they carried no Pullman cars Who
then was obstructing the mails? The
president at Washington decided that
it was the strikers and out of that de-
cision has grown the whole discussion.
Pullman and the railroad officials think
the president was right while the strik-
ers think he was wrong and should
have exercised his power, if at all, on
the other fellows

SAYS IOWA Is FOR BRYAN.
An Iowa Ex-Republican Lecturing in
Colorado.

Colorado Springs, Sept. IA. H
Budd, a former Republican leader of
Iowa and an old soldier, lectured here
Saturday night.
He devoted a large part of his speech
to telling of the present campaign in
Iowa and quoting numerous instances
of the forming of large Bryan and
Sewall clubs among the silver RepubH-
cans in different sections of Iowa. He
said that he had seen at the Democrat
ic headquarters in Des MOines $50 let
tiers from every precinct in the state,
written by silver Republicans, which,
if their estimates were One-fourth of
them true, would give the state to
Bryan and Sewan by 10000 majority.
