is a Candidate for Chief Justice.

Judge T. r. Carver of Salina is in the
city. Judge Carver was seen by

truth of the special sent out from Abb

judge would not be q. candidate for his
present position, but would enter the
race for chief justice, and after read
ing the article. said:
This article that appeared in your
paper, so far as it relates to my be-
ing a candidate for chief justice, is
correct. I have no desire, nor is there
any occasion for my becoming a can
6idate for that Office. 1 am candidate
for the nomination for my present pO
sition, and should the Republicans see
fit to honor me with the nomination I
will make the race and think I will be
elected.
Il am thankful to my friends that
have been so kind as to say that I
would make a good candidate for chief
justice, but their remarks have been
without my knowledge or consent. I
do not know who is the author of the
telegram from Abilene, nor do 1 know
whether there will be any other can
dfdates before the Republican conven-

state that I am not a candidate for
two offices, as some paper has said
There is enough work in the one 1 now

So Far Jointists Have Been Unable to
Procure 1t.

Sergeant Ellison Of the police de-
partment this morning went to the
county jail and served city warrants
on Pete Callahan and Fritz Durein,
charging them with having violated the
prohibitory law. This was done in
order to make sure of their retention.

to secure bond from the county Jail.
In case they do they will be turned
over to the city authorities on the war
rant.
So far, all of the jointists who were
arrested yesterday have been unable
to secure bond

THE TWO-THIRDS RULE.
The Silver Men Will Cancel it if it is
Necessary.

Necessary.
Chicago, July st is believed that
the adoption of the rules of the Fifty
third congress with the prOviso for
making any modification of the rules
a privileged question by the committee
on rules of the Democratic party is in
tended to meet the emergency if it
should arise, of abrogating the two
thirds rule. The result of the vote on
temporary chairman had the effect of
causing many Of the silver men to
thing it may be necessary to abrogate
this rule.
They expect to gain some votes over
the vote cast for Daniel in his contest
with Hill, but are undetermined Wheth-
er they will secure the e. votes neces-
sary over the 556 cast for Senator Dan
lei to secure the nomination of a pres
idential candidate under the two thirds
rule. They count confidently upon Sc
curing two of the votes cast by Maine
for Senator Hill and three of those Of
West Virginia which went to Senator
Hill They also count confidently up
on the result of the contests in Ne
braska and South Dakota being favor
able to them.
of territorial votes from to 6. This
will make q gain of 40 votes sufficient
to increase the total to COS or fifteen
short of the necessary $50 If the Nc
brasza contest should be decided Ia
vorable to the silver men. it would give
them votes to spare but they have
practically abandoned the idea Of win
ming in this manner They hope, how
ever, when they show ability to con
troll votes reaching so near to a two
thirds, others will be won over.
They are prepared, however. to find
the gold vote standing very solid and
will meet the emergency, if required to
do so, by canceHing the rule. Some OF
