The most contemplate thing that
has yet transpired in this campaign is
the assertion of Mr.. Thurston that
Bryan is the paid agent of the silver
miners. The charge is as ridiculous
as it is false, and every circumstance
Of MIR. Bryan's career and candidacy
gives the lie to it. II Mr.. Bryan ina
formerly been u gold man and haY
suddenly bloomed out as a champion
of silver, Just as suddenly giving
evidence of newly acquired wealth,
and in addition to all this he had been
the presidential candidate of the sill
yer INNING states, there would be
come color to the charge But none
of these things are true. MIR. Bryan
has been silver man ever since he
entered public life. His position has
been thoroughly consistent from the
beginning and stands ill marked col
trast to that of Mr.. Thurs5on, who
year or two ago was shouting for the
coinage of American silver, and who
now stands solidly upon the English
-Republican-gold standard plat
form adopted at st. Louis. More
over Mr.. Bryan is Il poor man and ii
is well known fast that he was not
candidate of the silver mining states
III the Chicago convention, which,
with the exception of Colorado, were
almost solid for Bland. Even the
last-named state only took Mr.. Bryan
as second choice. Nobody has ever
accused Mr. Bland Of being the paid
agent Of the silver mines. There is,
In fact, no man in the silver ranks
who has come over from the gold side
under circumstances tlnged with the
slightest suspicion. But very many
prominent gold men have become
such. i'll manner that makes the
motive but too plainly apparent. If
the silver miners must depend for
success upon paid agents their chance
Is slender one indeed, for the pluto
cracy of Wall and Lombard streets
can pay a hundred agents more easily
than the silver miners can pay one.
The hope of the latter is that their
advocates are volunteers whose hearts
are in the cause One such is equal
to regiment Of hireliings who do
not believe one-half of what they
themselves say. Mr.. Thurston has
over-reached himself. Such mud
throwing is certain to react and in
Jure the cause in which it is thrown.

THE WICHITA CABAL.
a Story That It is Working for a Re
ciprocal Combine

There is considerable comment over
the work the faction of politicians that
has its Headquarters at Wichita and is
at present booming Judge A. w. Den
nison for senator, is doing in the inter
est of its candidate for the senate The
leaders in the movement are Senators
Householder and LeWelling, and word
has come to town that they have lately
been Joined by Senator L. P. King
This faction, it is said, VIII also have
all the support that John Madden of
EmpOria can throw to it. Beside the
conferences that the first three gen
tlemen named have been holding at
Wichita, other members of the legisla-
ture have been in Wichita Among
those that have made a pilgrimage to
that point are Senator Armstrong of
Barton county Senator Field of Reno
county and Senator Helm Of Ellsworth
Representative Carr Of Stafford county
Isom Wright of Barton county and J.
T.. Feigner of Rice county.
There are rumors that there viii be
an effort made to form a strong com
nison and control the caucus This
will, If it is carried out, enable the
DenniSOn supporters to elect the speak
er of the house and thus get the control
Of the committees of the house. In this
way every man that is in the Dennison
com binatiOn viii be enabled to get his
measures reported faVOra bly, and acted
on more promptly than those members
who are outside the combine. In return
for this pull the mem bers of the com
bine are to stick to Dennison, or the
candidate that he names for the senate
1T is doubtful if such a com bination can
be run successfully, IS it will have to
champion too many bills. and if any
one Of them should be defeated the au-
thor would likely bolt at the first op-
portunity.
If the plan should work, it viii make
it interesting for some of the candidates

additional particulars of the attempted
suicide Of Quartermaster Thomas Clan

that Clancy had fallen desperately in

who did not reciprocate his affection.
He was pressing his suit ardently when
orders came for the Adams to sail for
San Francisco.
Clancy could not get permission to
remain on the island and dare not de-

drown his sorrow in drink He did not

would be required between the two
contests
Before there was any chance for ar
ranging Yale decided that she could
race Harvard only after June n. The
reason was that the crew could not
leave college till June y, and Is days
was just enough to get into condition.
The Harvard crew can leave Cam bridge
on June 1. and allowing three weeks
for Pracicing for the Cornell race and
three weeks more after that would
bring the Harvard Yale contest into
the second week in July.
1T would be practically out Of the
question for the crew to be kept to-
gether for so long a period. and cOnse-
quently Harvard could not accept Yale's
proposition Cornell also expects to
race Harvard late in June, which furth-
er complicated matters.
