AFTER JOE SHELBY.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, Aug. 24.-Gran-
vile G. Adkins sprung a sensation
here to-day by stating that the ex-
Confederate soldiers of Missouri were
going to publicly denounce Gen. Joe
o. Shelby because the famous warrior
had announced that he would not sup
port Bryan and Sewall and the Chi
cago platform. The report circulated
by Adkins, however, has not been
confirmed. 1t has been said that the
local camp of United Confederate
Veterans would adopt resolutions con-
demning Gen. Shelby's course. The
ex-Confederate Association, of which
Gen. Shelby is a high national officer,
is not a political organization, and it
is not probable that the wiser heads of
the association will permit such ac.
ton.
