HOBART's SHIRT IN RAGS.
Tt Was Left at the Planters Hotel and
Was Divided.

St. Louis, July 13-When Garret A
Hobart. the Republican nominee for
vice president left the Planters hotel
he also left his shirt behind him and
thereby hangs a tale.
Mr.. Hobart will probably not miss
the shirt that he failed to keep on dur
ing the, excitement of political turmoil,
but if he should ever seek to recover it
or ask where it is, echo will answer
''XVhere?''
If the New Jersey plutocrat was as
sured the electoral votes of every state
in which a portion of his protective
shirt reposes. he would have q cinch on
<he vice presidency. for the garment
has been scattered from Maine to Cali
fornia, and from Alaska to the Gulf,
and even into blOOmin' British Canada.
On the night of June 49, just after he
had been nominated as the tail of the
Republican kite Mr.. Hobart hurried
to the Planters hotel He barred the
door, shaded the windows, looked un-
der the bed and then far from the
madding crowd he took off his shirt.
He threw the shirt in the closet. The
next morning like a true plutOcrat he
put on a clean shirt and later started
for New Jersey.
A few days afterward the chamber
maid found the shirt in the closet. She
gave it to the head porter who sent it
to the laundry In due time the bundle
came back. 1t lay uncalled for in the
office until a few days ago when Chief
Clerk Charles G. Field had it opened.
He didn't try on the shirt, but he near
ly had fit just the same.
On the collar band in indelible let
ters were the words G. A. Hobart. A
comparison with the register showed
that the inscription was in the hand
writing of the vice presidential candi-
date.
The news that Charlie Field had Ho-
bart's shirt spread like wild fire, and
every travelling man in the house made
a raid on the Office and secured a piece
of the garment
The last piece was given away last
night and all that now remains is the
little section of collar band containing
the name. Charlie Field wouldn't take
money for it. Assistant Clerk John
Farris Smith sent aother marked por-
ton of the shirt to friend in Toronto
Canada. Yesterday the friend wrote
him saying that the fragment had been
framed and hung in the parlor Of the
Wanderers club, the SWEETEST bicycle
club in Toronto.

POPS WORK FOR BRYAN.
Senator Taylor, S. S. King and Judge
Snider Join the Procession.

Kansas City, July 13-The Progress
sive Science club, a political Organiza-
ton composed of POpulistS of Wyan-
dotte county, Kan, has already start
Kansas to work for the Endorsement of
Bryan and Sewall in the national con-
vention soon to be held in ST Louis.
a meeting of the club was
held in Kansas City, Kan
sas, Saturday afternoon and it was
plain to be seen that there was great
Joy among the POpulist leaders over
the work of the Chicago convention.
State Senator Taylor, ex-Insurance
Commissioner Snider and Judge s s.
King, all of whom are delegates to the
national Populist convention, were
among the more active participants,
and throughout the entire proceedings
every move made was a step toward
the Endorsement by the Populists of the
Chicago nominees and the Chicago
platform.
A committee hitherto appointed form
ulated an address setting forth what it
deemed to be the duty of the POpuiiStS
in the coming campaign, and when sub
mitted it was adopted without dis
Sentng voice and the three national
delegates present were instructed to
vote to indOrse Bryan and SeWal.
The address starts out with this de-
claration:
I'VE hold it to be a cause of rejoicing
that the partisan bands which have
held the American people in hostile
sectional camps for nearly half q cen
tury are SO far relaxed as to now offer
escape from political thralIdom. Silver
Republicans have left the political fold
and gold Democrats proceed with eau
tiOn in going over to McKinleyisTn, lest
their arrival in that camp drive out too
many Republicans. Regarding party
ism as a thing most hostile to patriot
ism. we consider it to be the plain duty
of Populists, in this time of political
upheaval, to show by their conduct that
they are ready to ignore party for sake
of county. 1t is obvious to all who
look dispa assionately on the present sit
uation that a new political alignment is
taking place. The American people are
now dividing upon the issues which
have been raised by the Peoples Party
and in whatever order these issues may
be presented we consider it to be in
cumbent upon that party to support
such reforms without reservation.

Political News and Gossip In
Kansas.
Conventions Held, Free Silver Meet
ings and Miscellaneous Items
Pertaining to Politics in
This State.

George w. Seward. the grand lodge
of A. o. U. w. of the state of Kansas
and others have appealed from the
Judgment rendered in district court of
Lyon county in favor of Dora B. Sew
ard.
The claim of Mrs. Seward is that her
husband was insured in the A O. u w
for $1,000 and that the insurance was in
her favor, and that just prior to his
death he was, while under the influence
of drugs and not in his right mind, in
duced to change the certificate so that
his brother, George W. Seward, was the
beneficiary. The jury gave her a YER
diet and the court rendered judgment
in her favor. The grand lodge now
brings the case to the supreme court.
R L. Walker has fled a case in the
supreme court asking to have a judg-
ment against him which was given in
the district court of Sedgwick county in
favor of r. r. Coleman and G. T. Lynch
set aside Coleman and Lynch sued
Walker claiming that when he was
United States marshal he levied on
some of their property which he had
no right to do. They recovered a YER
dict and judgment against Walker in
the lower court for $4,S7320.

The East Calls the Western Agitation
q esRebellion.n

New York. July 13.-New York be-
gins to understand the trouble in the
west. The Herald prints a three-Coi-
umn article from Jas. Russell Young.
its correspondent at the Chicago con-
ventiOn. It says:
The secret of this revolution is that
silver is a symbol and not a cause; 80
per cent of those who voted for this
Democratic platform , have no more
conception of the scientific value of sill
yer in political economy than they
have of the Chinese classics. They are
angry, and when you want to strike
the dog, the first stick viii do. The
west is swept with a wave of discon-
tent. The wave takes the form of sill
yer. Once it was anti-Masonry, then
KnownOthingisn, now silver. This dis
content is based upon the indifference
at Washington to any interests butthose
OF monopolies. Corporate schemes are
so multiplied and vast that they block
the way in congress. Neither party
takes a proper interest in measures of
vital interest to the people. The re-
suit is a rebellion, expressed in the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan-this, and
nothing more.

ed. Ed T. Hackney was made chair
man and George W. Bailey secretary.
The following delegates were elected
to the Topeka convention: Major Hun
ter. Bruce Wallace, J. A. Ray, John
Phillip, Geo. w. Bailey, M. w. Cope
land, W. H. Vols and E. T. Hackney.
All of the delegates with one excep-
ton have been prominent in Republi-
can politics in this county for some
years. Three of them during the last
year have been members of the Repub-
Hcan county central committee. Judge
Ray has served two terms az district
judge and Mr.. Wallace two terms as
register of deeds.
Ed c. Little of Abilene addressed the
convention for nearly two hours on the
silver question, treating the subject
logically and exhaustively. Mr.. Little
is a pleasing and attractive orator and
captivated the audience. He thoroughly
analyzed and skiIlfully refuted the ar
guments of the gold bugs. His ar
gument, based on the Indian condition,
the impOssibifity and uselessness of in
teTnatiOnal money, the free coinage of
silver as a protective measure. were
especially strong. He was attentively
listened to and enthusiastically ap-
plauded.
Mr. Iittle's speech added fresh fire
to the flame of revolt against Wall
street in Sumner county.

on the platform, cried as though her
heart would break during the ovation.
1t has come to this at last. A To

The Republican party is not itself now

MORTON ON BRYAN.
Glories in the Fact That He Overcame
the Southerners.

Washington, July 13.-'eWhat is a
sound money Democrat to do?" was
asked of Secretary of Agriculture Nor
ton today.
Think was his sententious reply.
'I am opposed to protection, as every
Democrat is" he continued, and we
find the idea dominant in both plat
forms Under the Democratic plat
form, with it's protection of silver, I
would be forced to pay a $129 for an
ounce of silver as money when it is
worth only So cents as a commodity.
With the St. Louis platform we get all
the iniquities and inequalities of the
Mckinley tariff, and under the Demo
cratic platform we lose national credit
and national honor"
While Mr.. Morton disfavOrs the
money plank of the platform. he re-
joices in the candidate-a man from his
own state whom he has known long
and well. This is the way he put it:
Il glory in the victory of Mr. Bryan.
even though I cannot agree with the
policy he champions. I rejoice in his
victory over those astute southern
commanders-those wise members of
the senatorial syndicate-who sought to
use him for their own purpose and then
to their chagrin saw him, single hand
ed, wrest supremacy from them 1t
was a magnificent personal triumph. -
