Chicago, August 2O.-Thc demand for
wheat was of less consequence to-day
than yesterday. and the stimulus which
prices received at The close of that
days trading, from the reported gold
importatlons and which was carried into
to-day's markets, gradually lost force,
and before the session was over. had en-
tirely disappeared. The market opened
quite little higher than l. closed yes
terday. but 1t soon became apparent
that new arguments and good buying
and as neithe. ives forthcoming II natu-
rally followed that a decline was in or

Corn-Thc large crop of corn Is the ap-
palling fact which holds buyers in
check whilst the low price offers little
opportunity for profitable short selling.
The tendency of prices to-day was to
follow those of wheat. Some firmness
At the opening was due TO the heavy
out-inSpeCtion.
Oats-The same spirit of iirmness
that has prevailed recently in oats

to-day. The sentiment continued bull

The weakness of wheat influenced the
tone OF oats la ter in the session, causing
some depreciation.
observation-disclosures information was
received from this yards to-day and pro-
duct naturally was guided thereby.
The growing belief that the reported
deal in September pork is myth tends
to impart courage to the bear contin-
gent and renders the task Of the bull
more difficult. Prices rallied late in
the session on the inevitable shor, Gov

THIRD DISTRICT POPULISTS

q Unanimous Vote.

e. r. Rldgeley Nominated For Congress BY
Unanimous Vote.
The Popullst Congressional ConVen-
tiOn In the Third district met at Cherry.
vale May 28 and was organized by Che
election Of w. III. Ryan Of Crawford a.
chairman and G. S. Nation Of NeOsho
as secretary. The nomination had al
most been conceded to Hon. j. M.
Allen Of Erie for some time, bat he
found that there was some objection TO
him on the ground that he was q
banker and that II might weaken the
chances for success If he permRa&0d his
name to be used. That this self.
sacrificing spirit was appreciated was
shown by the ovation given him when
be presented to the convention the
name of Hon. E. r. Ridgelsy Of Pitts
burg. Ex-Congressman Hudson was
also nominated, but he declined to
permit his name TO be-. used. Mr..
Ridgeley was then nominated unsni-
mously. The nominee is q veteran OF
the late war, having served In the
l15th Illinois Infantry. He was known
az the kid Of the regiment, having
entered the service while q mere boy.
He has resided In Kansas since early
In the 70's and has never held any but
municipal offices. He has always been
a refOrmer and was Q GreenbaCker for
years. He was q candidate for Sen.
ator In 1873 and was beaten by M. @.
Kelley by the small majority Of Al In a
total Of 5000 votes cast. He iB now q
merchant at PittsbuTg. The Third
district boys feel very enthusiastic
over the situation and are confident
that the nominee viii win.
The advocate., 1896-06-03
A Democrat Split.

The Democrat convention In the
western division Of the northern de-
partment was held at Hoxie May 22,
The principal Hght OF th6day was
over the seating Of g contested dele.
CATION from Ellis county and over the
question Of whether Norton and Wal.
lace counties were entitled to full rep.
resentatiOn. The GilkeSon people SlSO
objected to RaWlins and Cheyenne
being permitted to vote by proxy.
The Gilkeson fight waS led by Tully
Scott Of Oberlin and the opposition
by Receiver McCue Of the Colby land
Office. Scott secured q majority Of the
committee and presented q majority
report, and the opposition fled q min
ority report. The minority report was
adopted by a vote Of two to one. Scott
and the Gilkeson forces then with
drew from the convention and organ.
lied another and nominated A, d. GIL
keson to succeed himself. The reg.
ulsr convention nominated w. T.,
Aaron Of Hays City. This now gives
the people of that district four can.
didates for judge to choose from.
The advocate., 1896-06-03
IT SHOULD BE TREATED FAIRLY.

At the last session Of the Legislature
provision was made for the State His
toriCsl Society to use therOoms vacated
In the east wing Of the State House.
This society, acting as trustee for the
State, has for years been energetically
collecting, preserving and SyStemstiz-
ing matter Of interest to the entire peO-
pie of the State. Ithss had q continual
fight for necessary room to properly
handle and dispose Of the books, pa
perg, etc., collected. A collection Of
historical information 10 Of no value to
the public unless It be so systematiZed
that it Is easy Of access. In order to
accomplish this considerable room is
required. The present quarters are In.
adequate. The Executive Council has
turned the extra rooms, provided by
the Legislature for the society, over TO
other departments. This ia doubtless
Q violation Of law.

DOINGs IN CONGRESS-.

Congressman Linton of Michigan,
the A. p. A. leader, has been renom-
mated by the Republicans.
Senator Butler secured an agreement
Frldsy to take g vote on his anti-bOnd
issuing bill just before adjournment
Tuesday afternoon.
Congressman Cslderhead (Rep.) calls
the free silver bill sea general bank
ruptCy act" under which men pay their
debts ct 80 cents on the dollar.
Senator Butler set Gear OF Iowa to
explaining by presenting letter which
that gentleman wrote In 1890 In which
he favored the free coinage of silver.
Gear said that he has studied the sub
jeCt since then and has chsnged his
mind.
The President has declined to com
ply with the request of the Senate to
furnish copies Of the correspondence
relating to the Cuban trouble, on the
ground that 1t would be incompatible
with the public service to do so at the
present time.
Gold-bug Cslderhesd said February
10: "You may write in q [statutel
book that gold and silver shall be
coined and used in unlimited qusntl-
ties on terms Of absolute equality, kut
that will not make them equal, neither
will It make them circulate together.
The nations Of the earth have all at
tempted to use the two metals that
way and all have failed"
In the Senate Wednesday Senator Du.
bols offered an amendment to the filed
cheese bill providing for additional
tax Of 70 cents on each barrel of beer.
Senator John Sherman moved to table
the amendment, buthis motion was de-
fested by q vote Of 80 to S5. The ma.
jority Of the Republicans voted with
Sherman. The amendment was Of
fsred as q measure to provide revenue
for the government, but the "only
patriots" In the country refused to
vote for it and it was adopted by Dem
oCrat and Populist votes.
President Cleveland has vetoed the
river and hsrbor improvement appro-
priatlon bill. He gives as his reasons
the excessive amount Of the appropri.

and he finds considerable fault with
the bill because it encourages pstsr-
nalism and is q paternallstlc measure
to a great extent. There seems TO be

the country 80 million dollars before

respect the instructions Of the Legisls-
ture In relation to the increase in room

THE State House janitors are worked
from twelve to fifteen hours per day.
In addition to this, they are denied the
privilege of leaving the building dur
ing business hours when there is very
little for them TO do. In addition to
their srduouS duties disagreeable and
exhaustlng extra work is heaped on
them. The ''business" administration
sees nothing wrong In paying clerks
for assistance rendered the Governor
prior to his Inauguration, but the jani-
tors are not only paid q very nominal
salary, but must work twice the num-
Der Of hours which others do. Repub-
llCan sympathy for the man that works
with his hands "a not of q very substsn-
tial character and Is decidedly limited
In quantity.
