For.
The contest between the friends of
Judge J. B. johnson and Major T. j. An
derson for the support of Shawnee
county for delegate at-large to the nG-
tional convention and member of the ma
tional committee, is growing extremely
bitter; and unnecessarily SO.
Some of the over Jealous friends of the
candidates are indulging in mud sling
ing but the STATE JOURNAL has declined
and will continue to decline to print any
of the questionable stories rejecting on
the candidacy of either Major Anderson
or Judge johnson.
Neither side need imagine that it is
clear of mudslinging; stories have been
related to JOURNAL reporters by the
friends of both candidates, but they shall
not secure publication in this paper.
About $50 Republicans attended the
caucus of Judge Johnson's friends, which
was held last night at Metropolitan hall.
Prominent Republicans were present
from every ward in the city, and the
names of delegates and alternates to the
county convention were selected to be
voted for at Saturdays primaries ~----
The friends of Major Anderson held
large meeting at Jordau's hall, in the
Third ward. and had good time. Good
speeches were made by Major Anderson,

RADIO to Senator Shernan.ef Ohio in the
senate last evening.
This heated retort was the elimination
of an ugly row that had lasted in the
senate chamber for three hours and half
No Democrat participated in the discus
siou and the Populists, too, held
aloof 1t was a Republican fight, the
most serious that has been witnessed in
the senate chamber for many day.
John Sherman had just denounced the
free coinage of silver as dishonest pro-
position and inSinuated that its advocates
were inspired by dishonest motives, their
object being to cheat their creditors
Sherman boldly declared in favor of a
gold standard, casting off all his meek
and mock phrases about bimetalism. He
insinuated that with large production
of gold in Colorado Teller would be left
in the lurch in the near future, with no
constituency to back him in his demand
for the remonetization of silver
This gave Teller his opportunity. He
said:
"The senator from Ohio cannot divert
me-" "by his old silver speech.
the same one he has been deliv-
ering for twenty years. the same one
have heard SO often before" Mr. Teller
declared that the defaitiups of bimetal-

were contrary to those accepted at state
and national conventions, contrary to the
accepted understanding of France and
other foreign countries.

he, puts itself under the leadership of

- Rogue w nO 9bOae AAAS 1AOECJs
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-Several years
ago Chinaman named Chung Ling Fat
came to this country, and opened
a laundry in the city of Boston.
He was successful, and frugal and in
time accumulated approximately $l5 1000,
Joe Tye, another Chinaman and d mer-
chant, it is alleged. stole $4,000
of his countryman's money and sailed
to China. Fat followed him but
before he could be apprehended Tye re-
turned to the United States and was ar
rested and jailed. The question brought
to the attention of the treasury de-
partment is, whether being
iaborer. Fat, under the exclusion
laws can return to this country
and give testimony against Tye, without
which it is said he cannot be convicted
of the larceny. Judge Reeves, the
solicitor of the treasury, in rendering
his decision, states that he
regrets that under the law he
must hold that Fat is debarred from
landing even for SO laudable d purpose
as giving evidence against criminal,
who it is alleged had robbed him of the
results of many years hard labor Tye
will probably be released.
