NJ Kicker, an Iowa delegate hailing from

tial nominee lay between Watterson,
Bragg and Villas. Said he: "Our people
have no fayorite son in the field, but ]
think the first pace will go to either Wat
terson, Bragg or Villas. / rather favor
Watterson, although / have heard both
the others spoken of and have not cen
tered on anybody. | am certain this con-
vention will make no uncertain movement
regarding the financial plank. 1t will be
strong on that point. 1t is my opinion
that this convention will help Mckinley
as it will take a great many votes that
would probably have been given to Bryan.
Still on the other hand, | can go to great
many men and ask them to vote the ticket
of this convention and they will vote it,,
but if / were to ask them TO vote for Nc
Kinley / would lose their influence There
may be a plank put into our platform
condemning the Chicago convention, for
our object is to defeat free silver; it would
be calamity to this country. This is a
queer convention. Usually we meet in a
convention with view to electing some
one. / consider that this is a meeting of
people unselfish enough TO spend time and
money to try and save the country, even
though they do not gain its government.

that many OF tho rivet heads were so

WONDERFUL.

We are astonished at the tremen-
dous growth of the circulation of this
paper. It is little less than miracu
lous. This last weeks accessions are
the largest yet. We do not attribute
to any merits of our own this vast
growth: it simply indicates the un-
rest, and discomfort of the public
mind with existing conditions. We
happen to fit into the environment
just as Greeley's Tribune did in the
antislavery days. We give voice to
those thoughts and aspirations which
are suppressed and ignored in the
daily papers. We will, as far as our
space permits, afford hearing to
every one whether we agree with him
or not. All we ask is chance to
reply to any fallacies that may pre-
sent themselves. We represent the
people; the interests of mankind and
the cause Of justice and righte GUS
ness.

THE GOLD STANDARD PRICES ARE

The following is a special dispatch
to the appeal to Reason" OF Kansas
City:
Sioux City, Jan. 1.-The Monona
county authorities south Of here are
having trouble over the evictions of
tenants on land owned by M. A Wiley
of Cas- tana, president Of bank at that
place. For some time Wiley has been
very active in the collection of rents
in Jordan township, and is said in
some cases to have stripped tenants
to destitu ton." His latest attempt
was met with resistance. The deputy
sheriff who tried to serve the writ was
met by mob of fifty farmers provid-
ed with rope and he hastily left to
avoid lynching. Wiley threatents to
call for help from the militia, but the
Jordan people say they can cope even
with them. Wiley and City Marshal
Spencer, Of Castana, who assisted at
the eviction of one of the tenants,
have been arres ted, charged with con-
spiracy to rob, and test will be made
OF the case. Wiley was hung in etfigy
last night, and excitement runs very
high in that neighborhood. The Jor-
dan people declare they will allow no
more renters to be stripped to desti-
tuition" which they claim has been
done in some instances.
