SLOW GETTING news.
POpulist State Central Commit
tee Falls Down Badly
In Getting Information About
Saturdays Conventions,
But Chairman BreideutheI Processes
to Feel Satisfied That Harris is in
the Lead-Republican County
Conventions.

Very little information is obtainabIe
as to the results of the POpulist con
ventions which We're held Saturday.
Some forty conventions We're held and
of these, up to the time that Chairman
Breidenthal and Secretary Semple left
for Abilene to attend the state conven-
ton, they only had reported the names of
the delegates elected. Harris dele
gates were elected in Shawnee and Ri
ley counties and divided delegation
was sent from Franklin county, Harris
getting four and Lewening getting
four
Chairman Breidenthal. who is one of
the chief Harris workers, said this
morning that while he had no definite
Information as to the results of the
Saturday conventions he was salts
fed that Harris had got more than a
majority of the delegates
The Populist state central commit
tee has q very poor system of getting
information Even when it gets cleo
ton returns they come so slow and err
ratio that the Populist managers have
to wait until the Republicans tell them
what counties they viii be allowed to
have before they know anything about
IT.
Mr.. Breidenthal will have to improve
his methods

WILL NOT ACCEPT THE PLANE
Kearney County Advocate CRep. )Bolts
the Republican Platform.

The Kearney County Advocate, Re-
publican, says:
The Advocate refuses to be driven
into a submission to the gold standard
platform adopted at the St. Louis con-
vention for the reasons that it repudi-
ates the Republican national platform
upon which Harrison was triumphantIy
elected in 1888; it declares the Mime
apolis platform of 1892 a delusion and
a snare; it declares the platform upon
which Governor Morrill, was elected in
1894 deception; it says to Kansas Re
publicans, you must abandon the dec
larations you have promulgated as the
basis of your political faith and WhOOp
for something eastern money lenders
say you must. 1t says to the RepubI-
cans Of Kansas that nominated BrOder-
lex, Curtis, Kirkpatrick, Ellis and Long,
you were too fast. You should have
waited until the eastern so-called Re
publicans told you what to do in the
matter. It says to Kansas Republicans,
you may believe in the enactment Of
laws such as you deem for the best in
terest of the people of Kansas, but you
must wait until foreign nations say you
can have such laws. 1t says to the
Republicans of Kansas, YOU are not
capdoIe OF expressing correct views
upon the intricate question of finance;
the eastern capitalists handle all the
money; you are dependent on them for
capital and You must let them make
their own terms or they will withdraw
all their capital from Kansas. It says
to the Republican papers of Kansas
you must publish the speeches of Car
Isle and Eckles as campaign docu-
ments. Let others do as thew wish
but the Advocate has no eastern pre-
pared principles to promuIgate. and we
prefer to announce such principles as
we think are right, regardless of the
consequences. We have some so-calIad

guage of Governor Felt in the Atchison

last week that Jerry Simpson and
County Attorney Davis of this city en-
gagged in a hot dispute en- route 20
Wichita; that the lie was passed and
that at one time the passengers expect
ed to see a personal encounter.
When seen today Mr.. Davis denied
that the lie had been passed, and said
that the whole trouble occurred over his
not knowing that Mr.. Simpson was on
the car.
There were several people talking
about the st. Louis convention said
Mr.. Davis, when I remarked that
some of the Populists claimed that
Simpson would lose 1000 votes because
he had favored the nomination of Wat
SON
I had just remarked they accuse
Jerry of getting Doodle and when said
that, man turned around in the seat
in front of me and I discovered 1T was
Jerry, when he asked, who said SOP
That was the first knew of his be-
ing on the train and, of course, it
stumped me, because I do not think a
man can be gentleman and knowing
" hurt anyone's feelings. When Mr..
Simpson asked the question he was very
firm about it, and I did not like to be
bluffed, so [ answered, The Globe
Democrat said so directly, and the
Wichita Beacon Indirectly"
Mr.. Davis said today that he did not
want anything said about it in the
newspapers, and other men on the train
q the time continued the story. They
these papers had said anything of the
kind, when Mr.. Davis insisted that
they did and also said that he would
not put Simpson past doing it anyway,
a which Mr.. Simpson retorted, You
would not say that if you were out of
this car"
Some of the Populists her# who have
heard Of the affair are indignant and
they claim that it was a prearranged
plan to insult Jerry Simpson and draw
him into a fight, and that a prominent
Populist from the western part of the
state, VINO is opposing Simpson, was a
party to it.
Fritz Schnitzler was one of the party
on the car, and when a reporter asked
him how it was Fritz said:
"Oh, let the matter drop I do not
know anything about it; I was asleep.
I do not think that County Attorney
Davis knew that jerry was in the car
when he made the remark about the
Doodle. You see we were all full of
Gueda Springs water, and we were pref
ty free with our talk and when John
Davis said that about the Doodle, Jerry
turned around and said:
You are a -- liar I put my 300
pounds between them and said, I will
not have any fuss here. We are all
friends, and politics don't count, and I
will not allow any fighting"

Jones, John Martin. H Won Langen.
T. NJ. Hanley, John Murphy, r. 3. KEEP
ley and Eugene Wolfe. Frank Thomas,
s. B. Isenhart and w. F. Evans accom-
panied the delegation. Tt is the opin-
ion OF the Topeka contingent that there
will be no attempt to make nominations
and that a committee will be appointed
to confer with the Populist convention
and agree upon candidates.
Lee Jones is the only member of the
Topeka delegation who is a candidate
for anything and he is asking to be
made secretary of the state central
committee. 1t is the intention of the
committee to have the headquarters in
Topeka and Jones is consequently the
most available candidate.
