considered himself safe fer two

Since the republicans adopted a
gold standard platform and the
democrats nominated William J.
Bryan on Is to.l free silver plank,
the most surprising changes have
been wrought. So great has been
the detection from the republican
ranks that Judge Burtons friends
concede the district to the demo
Gratis.
The miners boldly announce that
they are for Bryan, and free silver
man for congress.
That means the elimination of
Judge Burton in November and the
election of democrat from the
Fifteenth District.

Hon. X. f. Lewis Pays His Compii-

Hon. X. F.. Lewis Pays His Compli-
ments to the Democrats.
A few minutes after his nomina-
tion for Governor, Hon. r. E. Lewis
entered the Baldwin Opera House
and was received with rapture by
the assembled delegates When tue
uproar had subsided, he delivered
the following speech, which we copy
from the st. Louis Globe Dem ocrat:
"Larguage fails to speak the full
feeling of the heart" he said II can
not find words that will express my
deep, my overwhelming thanks and
satisfaction in having bestowed upon
me such an honor
Continuing, Mr.. Lewis spoke SUBJ
stantially as follows:
Il am not here to deliver pre-
pared speech. 1t is not expected
that those who are not looking for a
thing Will be prepared when it
comes; and somehow, I don't believe
in much rhetoric in politics; just a
little bit. For political questions
are practical! questions. They are
every day questions. which touch
the woe and welfare of every citizen.

ton for effect crown Of thorus, or

cross has no place in Republican

speak Of crowns and crosses do not
mention the flag, j is entirely

BRYAN Club at Rich Hill.

Bryan Club at Rich Hill.
The Review has the following re-
port of the organization OF the Bryan
club at Rich Hill last Saturday night:
after large number of silverites
had signed the roll, the Butler Gle
Club, composed of following young
ladies and gentlemen, sang "Ameli-
ca" Misses Alpha Colyer, Lydia
Guyton, Edith McCauts, Dora Pat
ton, Harriet DeArmond, Mayme
Sisson, Ida McCants; Messrs Clardy,
Kendall, Edrington, Wolfe. Steele,
Forquer and Revis.
Hon. Harvey &. Clark. democratic
nominee for Prosecuting Attorney,
was then introduced by Chairman
Jamison, president OF the Bryan
Silver Club. and made a very telling
speech, receiving frequent applause.
Mr.. Clark started out by paying
the large audience and the city of
Rich Hill, the .most enterprising
town in the Southwest" very hand
some tribute. He said at the last
election, when the Democratic ticket
was in jeopardy, the party leaders,
as the returns arrived at Butler,
would say to each other wait till
you hear from Rich Hill 1t was
Rich Hill and Usage township by
its 500 majority, that saved the
county to the party. Every word,'
he continued, "that will be spoken
by me this evening will be uttered
with the greatest respect to the per-
sonal opinions of others " He con-
sidered the Republicans and Popu
lists just as honest as the Democrats.
All had the same interest in this
grand old state. The Republicans
and Populists desired the public
welfare just as much as the Demo
Gratis. But there was All issue before
the people superior to party. The
issue was one of finance. The speak
er then proceeded to elaborate on
the different features involved in this
great question. He read from the
speech of Mr.. Blaine, delivered III
Congress in 1878 He paid q glow
ing tribute to Senators Allen aud
Teller ard showed what g change
was coming over the country at
large on accountof this burning ques
ton Of the hour, making numeruos
illustrations Of how the debt paying
power of silver and most Of the
products of the field and farm had
been curtailsd by the Legislative en-
hancement OF the value of gold.
Mr.. Clark presented several points
that were new to some Of his hear
ers at least and we have heard two
staunch republicans since hearing
his speech declare their intention of
voting for him. There may be many
others
Mr.. Clark was followed by Col.
Dooley. in one Of that gentleman :.
characteristic speeches. He was ire-
quently spplauded.
The Butler G.ee Club sang several
telling songs during the evening"

FRENCH INFLUENCE IN CHINA.
Premier Bourgeois Called Upon to Make
an Explanation of His Foreign
poIicv

PARIS, FRANCE, March 31.-In the SEN
ate to-day NJ. Bardoux questioned Pre-
mier Bourgeois in regard to the recent de-
cline of French influence in China. He
also demanded to know why the final
treaty between France and Madagascar had
not been placed before Parliament. and
asked the Government to define the posi-
ton in Egypt.
NJ. Bourgeois denied that there had been
any loss of French influence in China.
Madagascar. he said, had not been an
nexed by France, but the sovereignty of
the Queen and the foreign relations of
Madagascar were controlled by France.
In regard to Egypt NJ. Bourgeois recalled
the recent declaration of NJ. Berthelot,
late Minister of Foreign Affairs, that ne
gotiations with Great Britain were being
continued. He was unable to say more
than that Russia was cooperating with
France IN regard to Egypt.
NJ. koubet, presid dent of the Senate, then
declared the incident closed.

AMERICAS PROTEST NEEDED.
Turkish Officials Checked in Their Un-
just Treatment of Two
Missionaries.

CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, March
3t.-J. w. Biddle secretary, and in abb
sence of Minister Terrill, Charge q Affaires
of the United States Legation, has made
vigorous protest to the Porte against the
action of the Turkish Governor OF Bitlis in
ordering the immediate arrest OF Messrs.
Cole and Knapp, American missionaries,
and ne accom- panied the protest with a
threat to sever diplomatic relations with
the Porte unless the Government was re-
voked. Biddle's protest was Endorsed by
Sir Philip Currie. the British En- bassador.
The Porte yielded to the protest. and
gave instructions to the Governor OF Bltlls
to permit Mr.. Knapp to remain in Bitlls.
The Governor was instructed in the case OF
Cole TO allow that gentleman to act as he
pleases and TO perform missionary work
without hindrance. 1t is regarded as
likely here that the action OF the Governor
of Bitlis was designed to test the Ameri-
Cal, pulse.
Lon DON, Eng, March 31.-In the

the recent disorders IN parts of Asia
Minor. MIR. Curzon tated also that repre-
sentations had been made to the Porte in
regard to the matter.
