those which have greeted Mr.. Shaw during

original burst of enthusiasm which greeted
the work OF Professor Moulton in his first

high-water mark of university extension

OF the present winter. Mr.. Shaw's regular

Special Features of His Work.
Two special features of Mr.. Shaw's work

mention One, and for Americans the more
important, Is his vigorous participation In

Tor the bringing about of a better feeling
between England and America of which
the agitation for arbitration may be said
to be a part.
The other special feature referred to ia

loss o. his barn which burned last
week very severely. 1t was a compar
atively new barn, built 10 1891. u
was 4Ox5S feet, l6 feet high, al. fittDi
with bins and stalls, a model Of con-
venience. 1t cost him more than
$500, exclusive of his own work, haul.
ing lumber, etc. The only thing
saved out OF the barn was a spring
wagon, a saddle and half set Of har-
ness. The loft was full Of hay and
there was considerable feed 10 the
bins. His horses happened 10 all be
out on pasture. One fine Durham
calf burned. His loss was fully $1,000.
His insurance was only $3.50. The
barn caught from stroke OF lightning
during the storm which brought such
a heavy rain to Wellington Monday Of
last week. Judge Chapman was away
from home at the time, but his boys
saw the stroke and the blue blaze OF
fire 10 its incipiency. Before they
could reach it the whole structure was
enveloped In flames. He will rebuild
on smaller scale 10 short time.

put it at $500. There are just 1873
twelve-fOot boards 10 the wigwam.
Allowing two feet to each person,
which is a very fair estimate in such

free silver and the candidates who
favor free silver, am consistent,
The Republicans who are now stand
ine by silver are the party'S real
friends, we propose to save the party
from complete destruction. We are
charged with going back on the party
but we answer that those who are
now supporting the gold standard
platform adopted at st. Louis have
deserted the party and followed of
after Grover Cleveland and his
heresies.
The Republicans of this state in a
thousand school houses and In a
thousand platforms promised the
people free coinage of silver. We are
in honor bound to redeem these
pledges. We are placed in the atti-
tudeOt either declaring ourselves dis.
honest and trying to deceive for the
sake Of the offices or that we were
ignorant and did not know what we
wanted, For one, l do not propose to
be put 10 such a position, and there
are thousands with me in this
matter.
To hold us in allegiance the Bland
Allison act was passed, also the Sher.
man law both Of these were Republi-
can measures. The Republican party
is now trying to make the tariff the
issue; tile tariff cannot be the issue
because all parties agree on some kind
of tariff measure, and you cannot
make schedules a national question,
when they are Largely local in their
natures. Then by driving out the
western Senators they have lost the
Senate and any tariff legislation will
be entirely out Of the question.
The present platform is a complete
change from Republican principles.
The national platform of 1888 said:
1.-THE Republican party is in favor of
both gold and silver as money, and
Condemns the Democrat par a Its
efforts to demonetize silver" That
this meant that these were both to
be coined on equal terms, and neither
favored before the law is shown by
actions of the Republicans OF Kansas,
in the state platform Of 1890: 1.-THE
practical operation Of the silver law
now in force recently passed by Re-
publican majority in both houses of
congress is rapidly increasing the
value Of silver, is step in the right
direction; but we the Republicans Of
Kansas, demand the free coinage Of
silver. Maj. j. K. Hudson was the
chairman Of the resolutions commit
tee, and presented this resolution.
Dick Blue was a member Of that
convention. He said: 81 ask that the
plank he read the second time" 1t
was then re-read by Maj. Hudson.
Blue then said: "Mr, Chairman that
plank voices the sentiments Of the
RepublicanSof Kansas"

Honor to re Poru,ist candidate
for Governor.
The visit 10 v ellington of Senator
John W. Letdy, the Populist and
Democratic CaGdi'ate for governor,
Wednesday of last week brought
forth from the people warm greet
ing, A multitude of the best citizens
Of Sumner county, latterly known as
anarchists and regulators, cane out
to do honor not so much to the man
(although he is amply worthy of it)
as to the principles he represents.
Many came to learn Of the issues be-
fore the people, honestly hoping to
gain information that would enable
them to cast their ballot in the dlrec-
tiOn of bringing better times. And
they certainly were not disappointed.
The crowd was estimated at all the
way from 1900 to 1000. A fair esti-
mate by men accustomed to judging
Of crowds placed it at 5000.
They were all from Sumner county.
We know Of but one man from with
out the county that was DR.. Pitcher
OF Winfield.
The procession formed at the Bryan
headquarters. 1t was headed by the
Wellington Military Band. This was
followed by the Oxford delegation
headed by seventeen horse back riders
sixteen Of them on white horses and
one on dun hOrse-representing sill
Ter and gold, l6 to l. 1t was a very
happy illustration. Then came the
wagons and carriages with numerous
flags and banners, many of them very
pointed and suggestive. The whole
procession was about two miles long.
The Mail AYERS that in the whole line
there were only five free silver Re-
publicanS II the Mail man could
count so many that he knew, the free
silver Republicans must have been
quite prominent factor in the pro-
oeSsion.
At the park the crowd spread
themselves over the ground and par
took Of dinner. At 1.30 the audience
was called together and were favored
with some splendid music by the
Rome and Belle PLANE glee clubs.
They were loudly cheereG.
The wind was blowing a gale from
the south and it was found necessary
to abandon the speakers stand in
order that the speakers might get
their backs to the wind.

first introduced Hon. R. W. Turner,
