on by Feast and Frybarger, and fresh
from the Higbee- Burke convention
as delegate, took the lead and the

Funderburg, until there was left but
one thing for the silver people to do.
Adjourn their meeting A motion to
adjourn was made and carried and
Mr.. Watson, the chairman, declared
the convention adjourned.
At this moment new political star
appeared in the nondescript frma-
ment, with two satellites revolving
around and about it, Traxler, precise,
grammatical, aud Haptonstall, suave,
belligerent- Trsxler had agreed to
turn over the silver vote provided
Funderburg was willing, and Hap
tonstall was to look after the popu-
lists in his interest, "The nomination
for Senator"
About that time It was discovered
that the call did not authorize the
nomination of any county or district
delegates or candidates for county
offices. Watson, the chairman, was
gone, Keil and Parmenter also. Here
was dilemma sure, but Frybarger
is resourceful. He and Feast were
taught several things in Kansas. He
informed the democrats preeent that
if they would nominate Higbee and
the Burke Funderburg delegates by
ballot, their action would be legal,
and Dickson insisted Frybarger's
plan was strictly according to the
Coke plan of finance. "Brown of
Horse Creek endorsed it. The Mis-

County Conventions OF the raithfu,.

Burke Higbee populisis held two
county conventions at the court house
in Lamar last Saturday.
As predicted by Mr.. Shelley in
our last issue the Feast Dickson
Burke machine had full control of
the populist convention, and there
was no hitch in the proceedings. A
committee was named to nominate a
representative to make it appear that
Walker hsd show, but Burke has
been in Kiows county and with Fun
derburg's help has secured the dele
gates there, and his nomination is
assured
Walker has never been in the race
since Feast took charge of Burke's
interest That was plAin to be seen
by every act and motion of the dem
ocra,ic delegates in the populist con
vention. As Howard Brown remarked
after the convention adjourned "eye-
rything was cut and driedr
Higbee was nominated for commits
sioaer, and everything possible done
to cover up that deficit Of $1,000. 1t
il simply the democratic party, U. S.
land Office, Feast. Burke, Dickson,
and far back in the rear poor Fryoar-
ger. They deposcd Judge Blodgett
as delegate to the state convention
for some reason to us unknown.
When this convention adjourned
- IL n.
Feast, Burke and Frybsrger to cap
ture the national silver convention
called by its committeeman George
Watson, to elect delegates TO the
state convention OF that party to be
held in Denver September 9th.
Word was sent out TO the faithful
to be on hand to capture it at all
hazard and careful watch was made
upon WAtson's every movement Fry
barger was whispering around among
his democratic friends how he and
Feast used 10 do it down in Kansas;
Dickson, Just returned from the
state populist convention, was busy
explaining how the silver convention
should adopt the Coke plan OF
finance, which he supported in the
boiling Waite state convention; and
Burke was urging the faithful that il
his friends did not capture the nation

The result was "a stalwart demo
Gratis with Feast, Dickson, Burke,
Frybarger and Brown from Horse
Creek at their head and rear,
marched majestically into the room
as Watson started in to organize the
silver convention.
Then the fun began. Watson read
the call and upon motion Watson was
made permanent chairman of the con-
vention, and Alfred Downer, deputy
county clerk, fresh from the Feast
Burke convention where he was also
secretary, upon motion of Frybarger
seconded by Feast, was made perma-
nent secretary.
Upon motion Traxler, Keil, Par
menter aud Mcintosh were elected
delegates to the state convention.
Then the trouble commenced. The
81 democrats under Frybarger with
Feast, Burke, Dickson and Brown

DOES GOLD CIRCULATE.

What little gold there is in the
banks they refuse to pay out 70 ap.
plicants unless compelled to do so.
The reason given is because the
gold thus withdrawn will probably
be boarded. So strong is this ten
dency that our own banks will moi
pay out gold to customers unless it
is insisted on and the reasons for
desiring it are given.
In other words, the banks want
to hoard the gold themselves, in
stead of allowing anybody else to
do so. In spite of all their efforts
to the contrary, very large part of
the country's gold supply is in the
hands OF individuals, hid away in
the strong boxes and old stockings
of misers and misery inclined.
Practically, therefore, the gold Of
the country is already out of circu-
lation. 1t is not even the basis Of
circulation unless the small supply
kept in the United States treasury
by means of frequent and costly
bond.issues can be considered basic.
This reserve, even when it is kept
up to the 500, 100000 mark, is SO
ridiculously small in comparison
with the s1,5OO,OOO,O0O which rests
on it, that it can hardly be treated
as respectsb BILE foundation. Is the
country to be deferred from bring,
ing about currency reform by fear
of losing circulation that does not
circulate? For all practical pur-
poses diamonds are about as much
in circulation as gold.--Chattsnoo-

Too little Love In Life.

l wonder why We don't oftener
say that wo love each other-we
staid, middle aged people, 1 mean.
OF course we speak from the heart S
depths III the great crises of life
whom wo first find that we love each
other or whom some sickness or sor.
row comes, but these times are often
very far apart, and everyday love is
so sweet and satisfying There are
plenty of friends to sympathize when
you have broken arm or typhoid
fever, but what an unspeaka BILE
comfort it is whom n friend drops in
at the close of n busy day, who secs
that you arc all tired out and that
your burned finger that you haven t
had time to tic up is aching miser-
ably, and that the world is a
whale. " You know she won t tell you
that you weren't self reliant" for
o few minutes, and you do enjoy
having her tuck you up on the loungo
for a little rest while she smooths
out the wrinkles with tender touch
and ties up your finger and "kisses
the place to make it we'll" Some
people think that only babies like
these things, but big ones often need
them far more. Isn't it pathetic
where Mrs. Whitney makes one of
her strong, self reliant people say
that, when she gets to heaven the
thing she wants most is to be "ba-
bied" a little while, and does it not
hint of truth that we are too apt to
forget in this matter of fact world?
