WATSON rs a BoLTER,
So Says Breidenthal Who Objects to
His Return To Kansas.

If Tom Watson persists in coming to
Kansas and they do sally he Will. lit Will
simply result in a contest between the
national and state central committees
and Tom as to who represents and runs
the party Chairman Breidenthal and
the nominees for state offices and most
Of the members of the national commit
tee have opposed this move of Watson.
and in spite Of protests he has claimed
that he had a right to so ahead and
do as he pleased, regardless of the con-
sequences to the party or to the plans
of the mana gers of the campaign The
state central committee treated him
with courtesy when he was here the
last time what they viii do this time
is a question for speculation. Chair
man Breidenthal, when he heard that
the schedule for his trip had been ar
ranged and felt certain that Watson
would come, gave out statement to
The press which in a measure indicates
the position that he viii occupy to-
ward Watson: The interview is as
follows.
Mr. Watson's tour of Kansas will do
the cause of Populsm a great deal of
good. for his audiences will consist en-
tirely of Republicans, assuming that
Mr. Watson viii talk POpulist princi-
pies. assuming also that the Republi-
cans have contracted to furnish him re-
spectacle audiences.
Mr. Watson certainly cannot expect
POpulists to attend his meetings, com
ing IS he does under the auspices and
ma ma cement of a Republican annex.
and in open disregard of the desires
and over the protest Of the Populist
national committee.
Mr.. Watson by his course becomes a
boiler While we concede to him the
right to bolt. he must not be disap-
pointed if Kansas Populists refuse to
show him the courtesy that was accord
ed to him on his former visit,an would
be again should he come here ait the
request of and under THE direction of
either the national OF state committee.
fl am satisfied that if Mr.. Watson
knew the true character of the so-called
middle Of the road Populist movement
he would not endeavor to give it aid
and comfort. The high standing of
Mr.. Watson in the party will not be
sufficient to deceive Kansas POpuists
into supporting in any manner move
nent calculated to create discOrd where
harmony prevails and render assistance
to the enemy. whose defeat in this state
is now conceded by all we'll informed
and intelligent people"

jay Gould Did Win a Race.


From the New York Press.
1t is surprising that people can forget SO
fast. Jay Gould did win yacht race and
not so very long ago, either. He won the
first steam yacht race in America with
time allowance. 1t was the first regatta or
the American Yacht Club, in May, 1881.
He sailed the Atalanta against John
Roach's Yosemite, and many smaller craft
and won handsomely. 1t was Cramp
against Roach. in reality, and the betting
fever ran high. Many thousand dollars
were wagered. With Jay Gould were his
sons, George and Eddie. 1 was on the Cy-
gnus in company of Gen. John A. Logan.

We had great laugh at Gould when we
discovered him on the deck, clothed In oil
skin, SOU wester and rubber boots He look

ty day. He beat the Yosemite thirty min
utes, but the latters blowing engine gave
out, causing her to lose eleven revolutions

remark. The yard of a house adjoining
a stable on Seventeenth street, above
Paramount avenue, has been infested with
rats for long time, and a few days ago
a member of the family set a large wire
trap in the yard.
Mr.. Tyler was seated in the rear room

results with great interest. First one raj

and effectually prevented a single rate

Public Hitching Posts.


Recorder Edes was buSily engaged
nearly the entire forenoon today post
ing the following notices in different
parts OF the city: "Any person hitch
ing or tying horses or other animals
10 shade trees within the city limits
will be prosecuted in accordance with
section IL, ordinance 203. Ed. n. Edes,
city recorder" That section of the
city's. statutes provides that fiue of
not more than s25 be imposed on the
person breaking such ordinance. 1t
certainly appears that city the size
OF Salem should have hitching posts
erected In different portions of the
city that farmers who are obliged to
leave their teams standing, might not
be compelled TO convert our shade
trees into hitching posts. Our beautl-
full shade trees are source OF much
pride to Salemites, yet not only the
beauty but also the growth of these
trees is greatly impaired by the tying
of horses thereto. Since repairs have
been made about the court house no
provision whatever has been made for
posts which proposition
should receive the thoughtful con-
sideration OF the commissioners.
