Il think the immediate effect OF this

restoration of free coinage would be the
salvation of this nation. If the United

free and unlimited coinage of silver
think other nations Will promptly fol-

THE Two-TEIRDs RULE.
a Large Number of Delegates Favor
It's Abrogation.

Chicago, July 1T is not yet certain
whether there will be a general dispo-
6tion in the convention to follow the
ad made by the Illinois delegation in
c1aratfon for the abrogation of the
1o-thirds rule.
The action Of the Illinois people in
he matter has had the effect of reviv-
ing interest in this subject. There is
unquestionably strong faction favor
able TO the course outlined by the IL
liuoisans who contend as did Governor
Altgeld that the rule is undemocratic
land who owuld like to see it Cancelled
upon general principles. If, however,
bit is abrogated. the action will be due
to the difficulty of securing the neces-
sary two-thirds to nominate with the
rule sti1l in existence.
It is cOntended by many that by the
time the nominating stage of the con-
vention is reached the silver men will
be able to command fully twO-thirds
of the voting strength of the cOnven-
ton and they argue that if this should
prove to be the case there would be no
necessity for changing the rules.

THANKS TO CHICAGO.
Confederate Veterans Adopt a Resolu-
tion Praising Chicago for Con-
federate Monument.

Richmond, Va, July General Cor
don called the convention of the United
Confederate veterans to order this
morning. An immense crowd was pres
ent. Prayer was offered by Bishop
Newton and then the committee or ere
dentiaIs reported by camps represented
by delegates.
Mr.. G. D. Lee offered resolution
which was adopted endorsing the moves
ment started by Lee camp of Rich
mond, looking to a general organiza-
ton of sons of veterans and pledging
the united confederate veterans to the
movement.
General II. Kidd Douglass offered the
following: The United Confederate
veterans assembled in annual reunion
at Richmond, ever mindful of their
dead comrades, wherever they may be,
and holding in grateful memory all
those who do them honor-desire to ex-
press to the city of Chicago their most
grateful acknowledgements of the
broad minded Hberality of its people
in the erection and conservation OF the
lofty monument over the 5000 of our
dead, who rest within its protection
and the boundless hospitality with
which it received all confederate sol
diers who attended the dedica ton. Our
thanks are given without stint to every
army veteran, soldier and citizen from
the great city who participated in that
memorable scene. May the monument
there lifted UP stand through the ages
as a perpetual reminder that its dedi-
cation was the final triumphaI scene
of a great war, commemorative alike
of the heroic dead it honors and of re-
united peace and friendship between
the north and the south.
The resolution was seconded by Gen.
Lee and unanimously adopted.

John W. Brefdenthal returned from
Larned yesterday. When asked by
Journal reporter whether it were true
that Ex-Governor Lewelling was now in
the lead in the race for governor on the
POpulist ticket. he said:
I do not known what Lewelling
claims. He or his friends are making an
active canvass and have two delega-
tions instructed for him. Sedgwick his
own county, and Leavenworth; he also
has delegates who are favorable to him
from other counties; just how many I
do not know. 1 have not been making
a canvass of the delegates that have

tribution of offices into rings and
cliques like the older parties, and when
any candidate seeks to tie the delegates

EXPECTED LELAND 10 Do IT.
They Knew the Chief Trickster Would
Do a Trick

There is a good deal of talk among
the visiting politicians about the move
taken by Boss Leland at Kansas City,
Kan, yesterday. The leaders, and the
friends of Leland think, of course. that
he did just the right thing, and all the
statesmen agree that the work was
very shrewd and that the Doniphan
boss manipulated things with great
nicely.
Judge John T. Sims of Kansas City,
Kan, is one of the delegates from his
county. Judge Sims is one of the lead
ers of the Trickett faction, was chair
man of the famous Trickett county
convention which selected the delegates
to the congressional convention at Law
renee last spring, and will probably be
the Trickett candidate for probate
judge in Wyandotte this year. In talk
ing with a State Journal reporter today
Judge Sims said:
We were not surprised at the action
of the convention yesterday. We all
know that Leland had Il cut and dried
and that he would act just as he did.
The move ne made was almost unpre-
cedented, but will not seriously affect
our side.
The delegations called the Trickett
delegations, both to the appellate court
convention and to the state convention,
We're properly chosen and the only legi-
innate delegations chosen. But though
We lost in the appellate court cOnVen-
ton, we do not expect such a thing to
happen in the state convention. We ex-
pect to have our delegation seated then,
just as surely as the convention shall

He Is in Trouble With the Proprietors

The following appeared in yesterdays

A letter from Medicine Lodge to q
citizen of Wichita explains itself as
follows:
There has been considera BILE excite
ment in Populist circles for g few days.
Jerry Simpson becoming convinced
that fOrbear2nce has ceased to be a
virtue, started in to even up with
few of his people who have been giving
aid and encOura cement of Judge Mckay
and the crowd that is fighting him for
the POpulist nomination for congress.
He started in by arranging to ire
and managers of the Barber county
Index, the official Pop county organ.
Mr.. Simpson is a stOckboIder in the pa
per. He got two Of the five directors
together and with proxies from two
more proceeded to serve notice on the
editors to quit The editors acting un-
der the advice of counsel, refused to
recognize the proxies, and as the Index
company is not Incorporated under the
state laws, also claim that the directors
are exceeding their authority.
In the meantime Mr.. Simpson had
imported an editor named Foster from
Hutchinson and is entertaining the
young man at his home
LAS the case now stands both sides
are resting on their arms. Mr. Simp-
son is determined to no longer support
his enemies by giving them employ
ment on a paper in which he owns
stock, while Messrs. Painter and Herr
are just as determined to hang on.
