Assistant County Attorney Spruce Smith
has undertaken to reform the habit Of
taking all criminal cases that arise in the
police court TO some local Justice Of the
peace on changes OF venue. When the cases
OF Bert Haney and Charles Royce. alias VIII
cars in the Wabash yards on Sunday night,
were called in police court yesterday morn
ing their attorney asked for a change OF
vanua on the usual ground, prejudice of the
court. The case was taking its usual course
when Mr.. Smith interposed an objection
He denied the assertion that the court was
prejudced and denounced vigorously the
change Of venue habit. He declared that
the accused were not in jeopardy. as the
action was onl? preliminary, and the pre-.
tense upon whi,h the AFFIDAVIT was based
was shallow and misleading. The affidavit
objected to all OF the justices but Cook on
the same grounds. Smith asserted that the
defendants were entire strangers 20 all of
the justices. II the petition was granted
he declared that the defendants might con-
tinue TO call for changes and keep their
cases on the move until they had reached the
limit Of the county, forty miles away, and
worn out the prosecution.
Judge McGee announced that he would
render his decision today.
Haney is one OF the brothers who as
sau!ted and nearly killed couple of young
girls on South Main street year or two
ago. He remained away until short time
ago, and has so far escaped prosecution for
that crime.

Anti-MorriII Papers Forced to Correct
Their Misrepresentation a.
to synod Resolutions.

Topeka, Kas., Oct. 15-(Special) The
papers opposed to the reelection of Gov
ernor Morrill, in reporting the recent meet
ing of the Presbyterian synod, attempted to
make political capital Of the resolutions
adopted. 1t was heralded that the synod
had adopted strong resolutions against the
present administration on account of its
method in handling the Liquor traffic. Now
these papers are engaged in taking back
what they said. The Topeka Journal to-
night, after laying the blame on Secretary
Stephens, of the State Temperance Union,
for being misled. prints letter from j.
d. Hewitt president of the Emporia Pres
byterian college, who was a delegate to
the synodical meeting. to Major Calvin
Hood, in which the position Of the delegates
to that meeting is clearly set out After

BRYAN RALLY AT PLEASANTON.
Ht Was q Monster Affair, but Fell
Short Of the Mark Set by
the Republicans

Pleasanton. Kas. Oct. 15.-(Special) The
Popocrats of Linn county held a great
rally here to-day. and tried hard to outdo
the Republican rally of yesterday. Every
part of the county was well represented.
1t was a monster meeting, but fell below
the Republican demonstration of yester-
day in every particular. The parade was
several miles long, but contained fewer
wagons by fifty than the parade of yes
terday. They had many large floats. ban
ners and notices. There were five bands
one drum corps and many glee clubs in
line. No special trains were run and there
were not as many people here as yester-
day by several thousand. There We're very
few Popocrats at the Republican meeting
yesterday, but the yellow badges to-day in
dicated that nearly 1000 Republicans were
here. and they were all shouting for Nc
Kinley. A blind man could not have told
whether ii was a Republican or Popocrat
rally. c. Z. Foote, Il. w. Turner, L. F.
Wilson and several other speakers We're
present. They held meetings in the opera
house and tent this afternoon, but tonight
they used only the tent and did not fill it,
One noticeable feature was that only about
ten silver Republicans were in the parade or
wore Bryan badges. Republicans are jul
bilant over the result.

NOT GOING TO SEE WATSON.
Projected Trip of Populist Leaders to
Georgia Suddenly Abandoned
Reason Is Not Known.

Chicago, Oct 1.-THE projected trip of
the committee appointed by the Populist
executive committee to call on Mr.. Watson
has been abandoned. Senator Butler left
for Washington last night Committeeman
Reed, of Georgia, and George F. Wash
burn, chairman of the Western branch of
Senator Butler TO Georgia, are still in
town and say that no formal call will be
made on Mr. Watson.
A telegram was received from the Popu-
list vice presidential candidate to-day, but
both gentlemen emphatically deny that its
contents We're the cause of the abandon
ment of the trip. Mr.. Washburn stated
that the trip was abandoned because 1t was
absolutely necessary for Senator Butler to
return to Washington at once. What the
contents Of the telegram were is causing
considerable speculation, as it was under
ed to start unless word was heard from
Mr. Watson to the contrary.
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 15.-The proposed con-
ference between a subcommittee of the
Populist national executive committee.
headed by Senator Butler. and Thomas
Watson, Populst vice presidential nominee,
is expected to develop political sensa-
ton. 1t is generally believed in inside Pop
ulist circles here that the visit of the COM
Mr.. Watson to withdraw. There are num-
erous rumors of official positions to be
rendered Mr.. Watson in case he withdraws
and the Democratic party Is successful
at the election. The stories of the promis-
ed position range all the way down from
a cabinet position; but no one claims to
have definite information as to just what,
II anything, will be promised.
There is grave doubt expressed, how
%I,cx Er yo%c Srin
withdraw. It is freely stated that the
Populist manifesto Of yesterday was by no
means pleasing to. the vice presidential
candidate, and the committees haste in
notifying him Of its intended visit Is said
to have been the result of fear that he
would take precipitate action before the
conference could be held. That fear was
set at rest however. by a message which
Mr.. Watson sent 10 Chairman Washburn
to-day, expressing a willingness to see the
committee. Mr.. Watson, according to the
rumor. alfayed the fears of the Populist
leaders by appending to his telegram the
statement that he would await the coming
Of the subcommittee. 1t is believed from
this that the candidates letter OF accept
ance will not be published until after the
coming conference, although he was ex-
pected to have given it to the press to-
night
What the outcome of the committees
visit will be is altogether guess work, but
there is a growing impression that Mr..
Watson will take more kindly to the al
legged suggestion of withdrawal than he
would have done at an earlier date in the
campaign. He is expected to leave Thcm-
son for Atlanta as soon as he Is definitely
informed as to the time the committee will
arrive there. There has been some dis
nute as to whether the conference should
be held at Atlanta or Thomson. but it is
thought Atlanta has been decided upon.

RETURN OF THE sP0ILs SYSTEM
Civil Service Reform League Says
That VIII He an Incident of
Democratic Success.

New York, Oct. 15.-The National Civil
Service Reform League sent out tonight,
through its secretary, George McAneny, a
lengthy address to.the voters of the United
States. 1t calls attention to the clause of
the Democratic platform relating to the
civil service. and then proceeds to deny
the chief allegations therein. Continuing,
the address says:
The platform and declarations Of Mr..
Bryan in his letter indicate that there is
to be complete partisan reconstruction
of the civil service. with the restoration
of the spoils SYSTEM
The merit systematic product of
generation of progress, will. if the princi-
pies of the Chicago platform be enforced,
be destroyed at a single blow; the business
of the government will be thrown back
into chaos; the cost of its maintenance will
be increased by many millions, and the
'spoils SYSTEM one of the greatest perils
which has menaced our government since
the civil war, will again threaten the in
tegrity and permanency of our institutions.
The platform of both the Republican
and the National Democratic parties, as
well as the declarations of their candi-
dates, give explicit assurances that in the
event of the success of either. the existing
system will not only be maintained but
extended wherever practicable"
