M'KINLEY- -WOLCOTT CROWD.
A Pie. Counter Brigade in Colorado,
TOO-NOminatiOnsf for state
Offices

Colorado Springs, Colo, Oct. 2.-Seven
hundred delegates were in attendance at
the Mckinley Wolcott state convention
here yesterday. The financial plank in
the platform reads:
"Resolved, That our people, irrespec.
tive of party affiliations, favor the free
coinage of silver and believe that our
mints could be safely opened to free
coinage under an administration in
which the people of the country had con-
fidence. We regret that the national con-
ventlon at st. Louis did not view this
question as we view it. We accept, how
ever, the assurance of the party that its
efforts will be devoted to the securing of
an international agreement for the unlim-
tied coinage of silver as sacred pledge.
We believe that the pledge will be full
filled, and we are firmly of the faith that
the rem monetizatiCn of silver, so essential
to the welfare of this and all other civil
ized countries, will be accomplished
through the Republican party of this
country and through no other. Except
upon the silver question we heartily and
cordially indorse the platform of the
party at st. Louis, and we declare our un-
diminished and unwavering belief in the
great doctrine of protection of American
labor and American industries. Also in
reciprocity as ennunciated in the national
platform"
Continuing, the resolution reads: eve
favor free silver, but we value free gov
ernment more, and while the success of
the party upon the Chicago platform
might bring silver monometallism it
would afford no hope OF bimetallsm in
this country.
Senator Wolcott spoke at great length
and very bitterly against the Denver
newspapers.
Nominations for the various state Of
fees were made as follows:
Governor-Judge George W. Allen,
Denver.

Atlanta, Oct. 2.-The publication in
this weeks issue of Thomas E. Watson's
"People's party paper" Of an editorial at
tack on Chairman Marion Butler, of the
Populist national committee, is con sid
cred significant in view of the rumors
abroad that Watson may retire from the
ticket.
The editorial says: "Mr. Watson's
position is now what it was when the
Georgia state convention met. He is for
a straight middle of. .the.road' ticket. In
no other way can the Democratic mas-
ayers be forced to abide by the st. Louis
contract. Mr.. Watson's position has
been humilating and he has been COM
PEELED to submit to promises he did not
approve.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
FIGURES FROM KENTUCKY.

Louisville, Ky.-The Democratic cam
paign committee has completed a poll of
Kentucky. Chairman Harry Sommers
said to-day that the reports show ma
jority for Bryan of 10000. This ia not
counting silver Republican votes, which,
he thinks, will swell the majority to 3O,-
600. However, Mr.. Sommers sticks to
$4,000 as conservative estimate of Bry-
an's majority. Mr.. Sommers' returns
from the county chairmen show that
there are 14,741 gold Democrats in the
state. There are 13,340 silver Republi-
cans, which, Mr.. Sommers says, will off,
set the detection from the Democratic
ranks. Conceding to Palmer 10000 votes
in the state and counting the Populists
for the fusion ticket, Mr.. Sommers says
the Republicans will have to overcome
$4,000 votes to carry the state.

particularly those DESTROYS of attending

According to the Zurich local laws

IT Is DANGEROUS.
A Suggested Change in the Bidding
i'm of Loan Lands.

Pierre, S. D., Aug 21.-The legislature
last winter, on the recommendation of
Land Commissioner Ruth, passed a bill
requiring that whenever any lands on
which there have been loans Of the state
educational fund are in default, the land
shall be bid in in the name of the state
Of South Dakota. Prior to that time
lands In default were to be bid In In the
name Of the county in which the loan
had been made. This change might be
al right In case the original act for the
investment of the permanent fund had
been further amended to place all loans
On land subject to approval by the land
commissioner, or his agent. AS the law
stands at present, the board OF county
commissioners pass upon a loan, and in
case OF default the state takes the land
for the claim. The vicious phase of the
law as Ii now stands is that many coun-
ties in the more sparsely settled portions
Of the state assess their lands at from
three to four times the amount they
would sell for at the best possible bar
gain which could be secured The law
providing for investment of the fund al
lows loans to be made up to one-half the
assessed price of the land, n where
the commissioners are working for IA
vors they might be induced to loan to
favorites the full limit on assessed value
which would be far above true value,
and when the Lane was forced upon the
state by default there would be a loss.
Before the change, If the county bid in
the tract, the loss, if any, would be to
the county, and not to the fund.
While there have yet been no fore
closures, and the different counties are
keeping up their interest to the state,
some of them are doing it out OF their
general funds, the borrowers being in
arrears to the counties, and there Is at
any time an emergency sale likely to
arise. OF course, in case there should
be any loss to the fund in this
the state would be compelled to make II
good from the general fund. but that
would be an injustice to compel oun
ties which were doing the fair thing In
the way of loans to make up losses in
counties where the loans have been
manipulated. While under the old sys-
tenn wherever the counties did not act
.squarely, they were compelled to make
up the loss themselves,
