Kansas populists have accepted

ported in Chicago one day last week.
 Richard P. Bland has been nomin- ated for Congress again in his dis trict.
 Bryan says he has promised no offices, but be didn't say that Chair mln Jones hadn't promised any for him.
 There is scarcely anything under the sun that the democracy of the country does not promise in the event of Bryan's election.
 The men who started out to make 6 monkey out of Tom Watson are not as confident of success as they were.
 If MT. Sewall continues to talk for publication, he may not be al lowed the privilege of voluntarily retiring from the ticket; he may be unceremoniously kicked of.
 David B. Hill has been keeping his own counsel since the Chicago convention. NIT. Hill has not even remarked since leaving Chicago, I am a democrat.
 IT Tom Watson will produce an amount of poodle equal to what is expected from the other fellow, his demand will receive more consideration.
 Chairman Jones, of the national democratic committee, speaking of the action of the southern Populists, is quoted as saying: ''They will go with the negroes, where they be- long"
 The New York mans offer to bet Sl0,OO0 to 5000 that Mckinley will be elected, has not been taken up. The Bryanites talk confidence, but when it comes to backing it up with cash, they are out of it.
 The Boy Orator" finds wearing a crown of thorns very pleasant when compared with the task of prepar- ing a speech that will please the Populists of the south and west and the New York democrats.
 Altgeld wants Senator Jones re- moved from the chairmanship of the national democratic committee. Altgeld is right, too. The logical man for that position, inasmuch as the platform is strictly an Altgeld one, is Mir. Altgeld himself.
 Mexico has lodged 8 claim of S22, 000,0e0 against the United States for damages for the use of the waters Of the Rio Grande river for irrigation in New Mexico. They claim that MeHicans are thus de- prived of the water below Fl Paso, where 1t has been used for over POO years.
 Has any one forgotten the profuse promises, made by the democracy, four years ago, that if Cleveland were elected, wheat would be Sl per bushel and times generally would be prosperousi Has any one ever realized on these promisesi Is any thing better to be expected of the party in the next four years in case of democratic successi
 They say in Nebraska that during NIT. Bryan's sixteen years of political activity, he has fused with the popu- lists and then against them, and with the A. P. A. and then against them. It appears that the young orators political principles have been noted entirely for their won derful elasticity, and that it has been his highest ambition to be all things 10 all parties.-Tucson Citi- zen.
 The Pheni1 Republican very kind ly recommends the JoURSAL-MNER, the Tucson Citizen, Yuma Sentinel and Pheni1 Herald to the people of this territory as first class papers. Our amIable Phenix contemporary certainly displays excellent judg- ment in its selection and recon mendstion, as the papers named are without 8 doubt the very best in the territ t0ry. Thanks, Brother Vol fey. Sorry we cannot reciprocate by adding the Republican to the above list, but we "cswn't do 1t, dontcherknow, without going back on our conscience.
 The combination popocrat-demo- pop ticket does not seem to meet with favor in Indiana by either democrats or populists. A tele- gram from Indianapolis says that it can be announced automatically that the present democratic state conven- ton will not consider any propOsi- tiou to combine electors in this state Inquiry at both the populist and democratic headquarters show that there Is no probability of the two parties coming together in state or national affairs. So far as can be learned, the populist committee, which was empowered to deal with the question of electors, has not fixed the time for meeting. Demo cratic managers take the position that the populists have nothing to offer in return for anything demo crats might consent 10 give.
