WILLIAM J. BRYAN's VISIT.
Honored Members of the Democratic
Party Had No Part in His
Reception.

Candidate Bryan has come and gone and
only distinct feeling of disappointment
remains in the minds of the enthusiastic
partisans who shouted themselves hoarse
in his behalf. That Mr.. Bryan cuts a
dignitied figure or makes out strong case
in his speeches not even his warmest sup
porters will claim. Some even assert that
there is not stump speaker of county
reputation in Jackson county on the DEM
ocratic or Populstic side who does not
make a stronger speech than the average
dissertation made by Mr.. Bryan. They
say also that there was nothing above the
Bryan average in the speeches of the Pop
ocratic candidate in Kansas City last
Saturday. The two addresses he delivered
were simply stale rehashes of the talks he
is making all over the country and there
was nothing in them either new or forcible.
Mr.. Bryans visit served to enable the
Brown-FleEning-Julian faction of the city
and county Democracy, which was knocked
or at the time Of the selection Of the
tained another defeat in the recent county
convention at independence, to again get
to the front temporarily and to make use
their control of the party machinery in
Kansas City and Jackson county. While
they permitted ex-Boss Hugh ]. MCGOWAN
and his successor. John P. O'Neill, to be-
come members of the reception committee.
they tabooed Joe Shannon and all his CO.
workers in the local political vineyard.

campaigns, were ignored and relegated to
the rear in order that number of political
iedglings and bosses and would-be bosses
might pose before the public as the men
who were running Bryan's campaign in
this section of the grand old state of Mis-
sorri.
Democrats who have national reputa-
ticns for learning. honor and integrity,
who have been chosen to high judicial
ofioes and the school board by the united
votes or the voters of their own and the
Republican and other parties, and who
would have been glad to have Joined in
Welcoming Mr. Bryan to Kansas City, were
not permitted to see him except at a dis
tance. like the common run Of mortals.
When men like those who ate and rode
with Mr.. Bryan are permitted to take pre-
cedence of the leaders of state reputation
In this city, 1t shows to what lamentable
straits the Democracy of this county and
city has come. The men who have been
IGNORED by the party in times past are
left to cool their heads In hotel corrp'ors.
while the Robidouxs and the Fiemines
ride in the tally-ho and sit at the break

This is not the first time the old leaders
have received rebuffs at the hands of the
Stone gang. but the latter rubbed it in
little more strongly on Saturday than
ever before

WAS JOHN W. POPE, OF WOODRUFF.
The Man Killed by an Air Line Train
Saturday Night Identified.

The remains Of the man who was killed
by an Air line train near Eimdale, a small
station about midway between this city
and Fairmount park, at 7:30 o'clock Satur-
day evening, were identified yesterday
morning by r. Z. Kegin, VINO lives at 622
Campbell street, as those of John W. Pope
a well-to-do farmer near Woodruff, Mo. In
answer to a telegram sent by the Stewart
Undertaking Company, ]. T. Fairhurst, a
nephew of the dead man, arrived here last
evening from Woodruff and verified the
identification.
My uncle and 1 came here Saturday to
hear Bryan's speech" said Mr.. Fairhurst
last evening. After the speech We went
to the Pacific hotel, where we met broth
er of the deceased. Dick Pope, of Weston,
Mo. About the middle of the afternoon we
separated and that was the last l saw of
either of them. The only way l can ac-
count for his being cut on the Air line
where he was run down Is that he went
to the depot at Second and Wyandctte
streets and boarded an Air line train for
home, thinging that 1t was the Maple Leaf
train, and when the conductor informed
him that ne was on the wrong train, he got
off at EImdaIe and started to walk back
to the city. He was single man and was
very prominent as a local politician near
Woodruff. His brother, George H. Pope,
was treasurer of Platte county six years
ago.
The remains will be sent to his late
home this morning at IL o'clock.

Is Now In Order.
Wichita. kas.. Sept. 13.-(Special) 1t is
not known whether Wichita is included in
the itinerary of Vice Presidential Candi-
date Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, but it
is certain that there is need of some mis-
sionary work here in the interest of the
middle-of-the-rosd movement. The most
diligent inquiry on the part of the Journal
correspondent has failed to discover sin

In this vicinity. If Mr.. Watson comes to
Wichita, he will be accorded scant cour-
tesy at the hands of his Populist brethren,
for they look upon him as an interloper.
and deeply resent his interference in the
little arrangements" entered into by the
state conventions at Hutchinson and Abb
lene. They will give him the marble heart.
Ex-Governor Lewelling and his satellites
hold Indignation meetings every time their
paths cross. and If Mr.. Watson's ears burn
1t is because they are saying uncompli-
secret that Sedgwick county Populists do
not love Jerry Simpson with that oldtime
passionate earnestness that made them
jests and go wild with cheering over his
dullest platitu6es when he did his first CAM
paigning in this district. There is but one
man in the county now that breaks forth tn
season and out of season at Populist gath
erings, and it is stated that arrangements
have been made quietly and decorously to
lynch him for a repetition of the offense.
But for the Watson incident, however.
Simpson might have had clear sailing. as
Sedgwick county Pops were inclined to be
magnanimous this year. The advent of the
Georgia Cyclone" has reopened the trou-
bIe for Simpson is Watson man and
helped at ST. Louis to hitch him to the
tail of the Bryan kite.
The Democrats are especially angered at
Watson and embittered against Simpson.
They indorsed the Populist state ticket for
no other reason than that they were as
Democratic electoral ticket. and the Right
mire-Wilnts declaration of independence
has had the same effect upon them that
the waving Of red flag would have upon
an angry bull.

TO SUCCEED JUDGE SCOTT.
Within n Week-Candidates
for the Place.

Washington. Sept 13-(Special) The at
tertion of Attorney General Harmon is
called to the fact that one week from next
Tuesday court work begins in Oklahoma
and no one has been appointed judge in
the Oklahoma district to succeed the late
Justice Scott. The appointment is almost
business Of the district can proceed on
time.
The docket in the district is much be-
hind; this owing to the many troubles Of
Judge Scott outside official business.
Candidates for appointment are as fol-
lows: Colonel Dillie, of the Oklahoma City
land Office; Thomas Chambers, of Okla
homa City; Charles Carswell. Ell Reno; w.
s. Lane and Colonel Spiiiman. Of King
fisher.
There is considerable speculation about
who will be assigned to Oklahoma City. 1t
is believed that either the new man or
Judge Tarsney will get 1t. This will be
determined by the attorney general when
the president makes known the appoints
ment.
Judge John C. Tarsney spent yesterday
at the Midland and left in the evening for
trict. He does not know whether he will
open court one week from Tuesday in
Greer county. or at Oklahoma City. AS 1t
takes three days to make the trip from
Ell Reno to Greer county, he is anxious to
find out very soon which direction he will
take. Should he remain in his present dis
trict and thus start Off with three wagon
new country. he will not get back here
until the last Of November. He will not
find out how the election goes for ten days
after November 3.
