insist that Mckinley does not need TO
be represented at any council meet
| ings. that his A. p. A. deal was fixed
up long ago and that the understand
ing between him and the secret order is
complete. A report to that effect was
given out last week. Several OF the
Mckinley organs take great pains to
They do this with a zeal which seems
to indicate that they would be ashamed
of that kind of backing.
On this score. the running comment
is interesting. The Buffalo Express,
one of the most ardent Of the Mckinley
organs, quotes a st. Louis dispatch.
which says:
1t is now known that the A. p. A.
board sent letters to the advisers OF Al
lison, Reed, Mckinley and Morton, ask
ing them to meet with the board and
make clear their positions in relation to
the A. p. A. All of them obeyed save
Mark Hanna They argued on the merits
of their candidates and were told that
decision would be arrived at later. Hanna
not appearing, second letter was sent
to him. Instead of Hanna this brought

Kinley recognized no faction I'm the re-
publican party; that he would make no
pledges or promises The A. p. A. at
once decided to unite against Mckinley
and take up Linton.
The Buffalo Express adds that the
position thus taken by Hanna should
meet with the approval of every true
American"
Col A. X. Mcclure, writing from
Jacksonville, Fla, to the Philadelphia
Times, says that the A. p. A. has per-
formed valuable service for Mckinley
in the South by holding his lines" and
preventing a Reputation of the con-
tracts made by his agents in southern
states several months ago. Being a
secret organization" he adds, 'its
power was not suspected until 1t made
itself manifest in the control of con-
ventions. 1t is to-day solid for McKin-
ley in the entire South"
The facetious remark of the Boston
Traveller is that while the A. p. A. is
alleged to be opposed to Mckinley, he
seems to be gathering in all the other
letters of the alphabet" And the gist
of 1t all is that no outsider can guess
whether Mckinley is trying another
straddle or not.

ONE of THE SIDE ISSUES.

II looks as IL Mckinley were trying
to make a straddle of Apaism. Less
than thirty days ago. the report was
widely circulated that the Ohio candI-
dates rapid conquest of delegations
was the result of energetic boosting by
members Of the A. p. A. Within a
week, however, this report has been
strenuously denied. They have IL down
Kentucky way that the secret order is
for Bradley. In Washington the story
is persistently put out that the "patri-
OTIS are for Linton. Five days ago. a
Boston dispatch announced that the
national A. p. A. board had concluded
to oppose Mckinley. without naming
any other republican as the man OF its
choice.
The story runs that. at the meeting Of
the A. p. A. council. representatives OF
all the republican aspirants for the
presidency were present by invitation,
except the representatives OF Mr.. Nc
Kinley. No one can tell what agree
ment was reached but IL is presumed
that these representative OF the candi-
dates harmonized their interests with
those of the secret organization whose
meeting they attended. The fact that
Mckinley had no spokesman at the
council would indicate that he intends
20 recognize no faction in the republi-
can party and make no promises or
pledges 10 an organization which works
underground.

FOR PRESIDENT.

CHICAGO. July I'm the mag
nificent and capacious Coliseum
in Jackson park, beneath clear
skies, with a cool invigorating
breeze, the Democratic National
convention met today.
After brief but decisive bat
tie in the arena, the silver men
vindicated their supremacy.
They wrested from the hands of
the gold phalanxes the control of
the convention and gathered the
convention and gathered the
reins of power in their own
hands.
There was a Renaissance of
that other great coliseum whose
great fall marked the destruction
of an empire, where men were
butchered to make a Roman holi-
day, about it all. A champion,
who has SO often entered the lists
to do battle in Democracy's Gauss
amid the ringing shouts and the
wild acclaim of his party was put
to the sword that silver might be
supreme.
But, strangest of all, on the
platform of a Democratic conven-
ton were the little coterie of sill
yer senators who bolted the con-
vention at st. Louis. At pres
ent without party. they seek en-
trance to the Democratic party
on condition that it select Teller.
General Weaver and other Popu-
lists and silverites, like Senator
Stewart, were also there, all
watching closely the results of
the deliberations of the conven-
tion. Although many well known
faces were missing, it was a dis
tinguished gathering.
The invocation of DIR. Stires,
the Episcopal divine, with its
appeal for peace, had hardly
assembled to the throne of grace
before the contending hosts met
in the shock of battle. The gold
men carried out their program
of presenting Senator Hill fo1
temporary chairman, but the sill
yer leaders also held to their
resolution and Immediately an
tagonized him with Senator Dan
iel.
For two hours the oratorical
gladiators of the opposing forces
fought it out upon the platform.

We are called upon again to
announce the death of one of our
most highly respected citizens,
George B. Thompson. The de-
ceased has been citizen of this
place and Custer for many years,
and was a most devoted father
and kind husband. He had al
most reached his three score and
ten years, when he was summon
ed to a grander Lodge above. He
was stricken down with paraly-
sis over a month ago, and from
this shock caused his death, ow-
ing to his age, about 6S years,
and his weak condition, there
were but slight hopes of his re-
covery. The sun set on his
earthly career at IL o'clock Sun
day forenoon, July II, 1896, and
he passed quietly away surround
ed by his family and friends. He
leaves behind, in Challis, wife
and three children to mourn his
departure.
Mr.. Thompson was a charter
member of Custer Lodge No. 81,
l. o. o. F., and also a member of
Silver Leaf Rebekah Lodge No.
27, of Challis. He was devoted
to the Order he had so long been
attached, and at the time of his
death held the honorable posi-
tion of ID. ID. G.. M. He was, 10
the fullest extent of its meaning.
true Odd Fellow. His life was
filled with the most generous and
noble impulses for his fellow
man. He stood for the right and
denounced wrong. In each and
every position which he was
placed, he was faithful, jealous
and prompt in the execution of
his duties.
The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon at the Odd
Fellows hall in Challis, conduct
ed by the members of the Order,
and was largely attended.
The family and relatives have
the sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their bereavement.
Peace be to the memory of
