Senator Palmer in an interview tonight
said: 81 had a sincere hope that General
Bragg would be nominated. 1 believe he
would have been the man for the place and
my choice all along has been for him."
When asked what he proposed to do
during the campaign Senator Palmer re-
piled that he was unable to talk iIitelli-
gently yet upon the subject. "This thing
has come upon me so suddenly that it is
impossible for me to say just what we
shall do or how we shall do it, continued
the Senator. THAT we shall make an ac-
tive campaign goes without the saying.
Our platform is one upon which every true
Democrat can stand"
Senator Palmer expects to participate in
the campaign as freely as possible, but
whether success would come from to-day s
work he could not predict.
A crowd OF about 1000 gathered in front
of the Denison House this evening, and
with several bands serenaded the candi-
dates. The crowd sent up great shouts
for Palmer. He appeared upon the bal
cony and received an ovation. After
thanking them for their warm greeting he
said, in part:
'Our chances of winning in this election
are not very glowing. but 1 feel that by
some providential blessing we will sue
coed. 1t is great battle we are engaged
in, and think every soldier in the ranks
is true and loyal"
General Buckner, who was also vigor-
ouslY called for, made a few pleasant but
earnest remarks.
Colonel Fellows of New York spoke.
The two candidates held levee at their
hotel, lasting through the whole evening.

Sketch of the Life of the Nominee
of the Gold Democrats for
Vice. President.

Simon Bolivar Buckner, tue nominee of
the gold wing of the Democratic party for
Vice President of the United States, is by
birth a Kentuckian, and is now in his
seyentv-fourth year. He is one of the
most prominent and most respected sons
of the South. His career has been an
eventful one. Being graduated from the
United States Military Academy at West
Point in 1874 he entered the Second
United States Infantry, and from August.
1S45, till May, 1916, was assistant professor
of ethics at West Point. He made a GAL
liant record in the Mexican War. being
brevetted first lieutenant for heroic con-
duct at Contreras and Churubusco, where
he was wounded, and captain for his
bravery at Moline del Rey. From August.
1S4S, to March, 1855, he was assistant in
structor of infantry tactics at West Point.
resigning to become superintendent OF
construction of the Chicago Custom
house. In the same year, 1855. he was
chosen as colonel of the volunteers raised
in Illinois for an expedition against Nor
mons and Indians in Utah. but not mus
tered into service. He then practiced law
and became one of the mos: prominent OF
the knights of the Golden Circle In Ken
lucky.
Alter the Civil War began he was made
commander of the State Guard of Ken

policy that will revive industries and give
the people work. And we believe, too, in
protection to American ships. The party
will carry out the spirit and the letter of
protection everywhere encouraging enter
prise and protecting labor to the end"
At the conclusion of the meeting there
was prolonged cheering for Mckinley and
for the speaker, and it was the opinion of
all present that such meeting was never
seen in this county. The result for Re-
publicanism is no longer in doubt.
1t is the general opinion that the revival
of Republican enthusiasm that began to-
night marks the dawning of great vic
tory here. On the platform were a num-
Der of representative Democrats who are
this year for Mckinley and prosperity. 1t
is interesting TO note the opinions of some
prominent citizens on the outlook here.
Deputy Sheriff F. ]. Walker said: "This
is just what we have needed. Democrats
are coming into our ranks and weak
kmeed Republicans are returning to the
fold. The county is SAFE"
Editor Frank L. Dodge said: 1.-THE Popu-
lists and Democrats make the most noise,
but it will be found that we have the
votes.'
D. F.. Cameron said: "There is no
question that we will carry the county.
We need speeches and literature and the
result is safe.'
Supervisor B. L. Barney said: 1.-THE
silver craze is dying out. Such speeches
will soon leave it only a memory"
Judge 6. w. Randall said: "This
county is safe. Every speech like this
wins votes"
1. Loventhall said: Travelling men
who come to my hotel say the State is for
Mckinley. Out of a hundred sixty-seven
were for him, twenty-five for Bryan and
eleven would not say how they felt. The
fight is all right here"
G. B. McCord, candidate for the Assem-
bly,, said: az meet great many people
in my travels. There are few Repub-
licans who will vote for Bryan, and there
are many Democrats who are for McKin-
ley. The county is all right"
E. Jacobs of Visalia, a prominent
farmer and former Democratic manager
said: Mckinley ought to be elected.
The Bryan men are doing the yelling, but
the friends of good government will do
the voting"

Bragg army IN Tennessee. Later he was
made a major-general, and was in the
battles of Murfreesboro and Chickamauga,
surrendering with Kirby Smiths army to
Osterhaus, at Baton Rouge, May 20, 1865.
General Buckners first wife was a daugh-
ter of Major Kingsbury.
General Buckner was one of the pail
bearers at the funeral OF General ULYSSES
s. Grant, the man to whom he surren-
dered his sword at Fort Doneson. In
1884, when Grants fortune was wiped out
through the infamous schemes of Fer
dinand Ward in a New York banking
house, Buckner was one of the first to
proffer aid. Grant was bankrupt, and
Buckner without delay telegra pied the
famous old commander to draw on him
for $4,000 without security. As 5000
vas the extent of Buckner's fortune at the
time, the sacrifice he was willing to make
bespoke him every inch man worthy of
Grants friendship and honor. During
the war Buekner was regarded as a hard
hghter, a strict disciplinarian and an
honorable, conscientious man. He was
moved always by his sense of right and
justice. No one questioned his sincerity of
purpose, and if he erred it was an error of
judgment.
In 1887 Buckner was elected Governor of
Kentucky. In the convention that nom
mated him question arose as to his age
ana Vlgor. While these matters were
oelng discussed General Buckner arose,
ana the assemble gave ear to him.

JONES NOT TALKATIVE.
Neither Knows Nor Cares Any

Of Palmer.

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 3.-The nomina-
ton of General Palmer for President and
General Buckner for Vice-President by
the sound-money Democratic National
Convention was very favorably commented
upon at Republican headquarters this
evening. Chairman Hahn of the Speakers
Bureau declared the ticket as ''strong as
the Democrats could have made il" and
added that if the nominations had been
made by the united Democracy he would
consider it very strong ticket.
At Democratic National headquarters
Chairman Jones replied as follows to in
quiries as to his opinion of the new ticket:
II did not nominate Senator Palmer;
don't know anything about it and care
much less. That is all have to say about
the matter"

1'oo Children SufOcGted and Their

CHADRON, NEBR., Sept. 3.-The two
children OF Assistant Postmaster Danley,
aged respectively four years and fourteen
months, were suffocated by smoke from
fire IN the family home early this morn
ing. They were dead when found. The
parents narrowly escaped a like fate.
Physicians worked for hours with Mrs.
Danley before restoring her TO conscious
ness.
There is little doubt that the fire was of
incendiary origin. Fumes of coal oil were
detected in all parts of the house, and a
water sprinkler in which it had been used
was discovered in the kitchen. Theories
as to the guilty person, almost too horrible
to be possible, are advanced, but open ac-
cusations will not be made until the fire is
thoroughly investigated.
