The State Journal: I am told on good
authority that one of the wealthiest
bankers and shrewdest fnanciers, J. B.
Watkins. has left the gold standard
ranks and come out for Bryan and sill

gives his reasons for so doing. He
says he does not want the land he has
been holding mortgages on but wants
the farmers to have a chance to pay
the interest and principal and retain
their homes"

LIGHT WE MUST HAVE
If Every Citizen Has to Supply One
Himself

If the Committee of Fifteen is unable
to put any extra lights on the streets
during the Fall Festival, private indi-
viduals must try to remedy the fault
as much as possible. Let all those who
can, put at least one arc light in front
of his place of business and if not arc
lights a number of incandescent lights,
JaP@nese lanterns, locomotive head
lights, lamps and candles in windows,
and every means of lighting the street
should be brought into -requisition.
During the flight parades red fire will
have to be employed and the druggists
and fireworks dealers should have
plentiful supply on hand.
Half the beauty of the night parades
will be lost without light.

Against A n. Case and g. W. Carey
Ends This Afternoon.

The suit to disbar A. H. Case and G.
w. Carey has been occupying the at
tention of Judge Hazen for two days
and was completed this afternoon.
The suit was commenced on behalf
of Mary r. Brown who claims that the
attorneys defrauded her out of money

horbitant fees. The whole question
now hinges on the question of fees and
nearly all the members of the Topeka

fees.
The total amount received from the
judgment was 81 ,946 and nearly $1,000
of it was appropriated for attorneys
fees, the rest being used to pay other

Mr.. McFadden, head of the bureau of
Public Comfort, writes to the Journal
today:
I have about 200 places which will ac-
cOmmodate about 1900 people. There

1t is quite clear that the people of
Topeka do not understand or appreci-
ate the tremendous number of people
who are going to come to Topeka dur
ing the Fall Festival. The brass bands,
fremen, militiamen and their friends
will themselves number 5000 people,
Fifteen or 10000 old soldiers will come
Every vacant room, store, barn, tent

BANNER.
POpuliStS and Democrats Unite
In New York.
Agreement Made at the Buffalo
Convention Today.
FIVE ELECTORS GIVEN
To the POpuIists For Which
They Agree
To Support the Democratic
State Ticket.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 16.-Democratic
politicians were given a surprise by the
appearance here of a number of Popu-
lists, who, after a prOtracted conference
appointed a committee of five to visit
the Democratic state committee and
present to them a plan for fusion in
this state to defeat the Republicans.
The committee appointed were: D.
NJ. S. Zero of GIens Falls, chairman of
the state committee of the Peoples
Party; c. r. White of AIiller's Corner,
president of the Farmers Alliance; Col.
A. c. Fisk of Denver; Col B. M Dur
yea of Denver and c. B. Mathews of
Buffalo, who ran on the Populist tick
ct for governor some years ago. About
Is PopUlists of this state are here to
urge this course
The committee of the Peoples Party
have announced that they will support
the nominees and the platform of this
convention in return for which they
will be allowed to name five presiden-
ttal electors.
TWO SETS OF RESOLUTIONS.
Though they are absent in the body,
the leadership of Senators Hill and
Murphy and W. F. Sheehan may be
felt in the Democratic state convention
today RumOrs were current in the
hotel lObbieS early in the day that all
through the night the wires had been
carrying communications between the
senators and their lieutenants in the
city, the purpose being a modification
Of the resolution on the financial ques-
ton and on the Endorsement of Bryan
and Sewan. In this connection it was
a significant fact that Tammany men
who were asked regarding the attitude
of their organization professed the
most ignorance, saying that that ques-
ton was held to be decided at a meet
ing to be held later in the day.
1t appeared to be a fact that two
sets of resolutions have been prepared
with a view to their submission to the
convention.
One set, which Elliot Danforth has in
charge, is said to have the approval of
Senators Hill and Murphy and Chair
man Jones of the Democratic national
committee. The latter, it is said, is
willing to accept a qualified indorse-
ment of the Chicago convention work
if thereby the nomination of a gold
standard Democratic ticket can be
avoided
Congressman Sulzer and other of the
radical silverites, declare, however
that there shall be no half hearted in
dOrsement and that the party must be
freed from the domination of those who
are designated as kickers; and the as
sertiOn is further made that the state
organization will be made up indepen-
dent of those who took part in the re-
volt at Chicago.
