Unclaimed Letters.
The Outlook.

The Republic Washington letter of
the 2Sth says:
Letters received from New York by
Democrats here persist in conveying the
information that New York state can be
carried for Bryan and Sewall in
November by good majority. These
reports intimate that Tammany will
cast its full vote for the Democratic
national ticket, and information
received from up the state shows that
there is steady current of Republicans
to Democracy, mainly on the coinage
question.
Senator Faulkner, who returned from
West Virginia today, says that there is
no doubt that West Virginia is safe to
the Democracy. The masses Of the
people of the state are in favor of free
coinage, irrespective of past political
affiliations, and will support free coin
age at the ensuing election. Senator
Faulkner thinks that his state will give
Bryan and Sewall from IL, 900 to 20, 600
majority.
Colonel Shanklin, member of the
Democratic National Committee from
Indiana, is in Washington, and will

of the committee is held. He feels
very well satisfied with the situation.
II have not the slightest doubt of
Bryan's election, said he. THE
feeling in favor of the ticket and the
platform in the West is intense. Bryan
will carry Indiana by large majority
and will carry Illinois by not less than
100, 900. Illinois will surprise the
Republicans more than any other state.
and will give Bryan one of the largest
majorities he will receive anywhere. -
Representative Berry, of Kentucky,
is is the city, and discussing the out
look, said:
Kentucky will give Bryan 40, 900
majority l never saw so much
enthusiasm manifested in a political
cause. The people of Kentucky are for
free silver. The people sincerely

belief out of their heads. / live in one

From the Fort Smith Times Democ

G. NJ Clark, aged 30 or 40, a
plasterer in the employ of J. R..
Winder, died Tuesday night at o clock
at the boarding house of Mrs. Stewart
lOl4 Garrison avenue. of cerebral
congestion. He had worked at his
trade during the forenoon, when he went
to his boarding house and lay down,
feeling badly and eating nothing. AT
D o clock he went down stairs to the
street but soon returned and shortly
afterward became delirious Drs. Cant
and Stroup were called in, but the man
was not conscious after their arrival and
it was with difficulty that he was kept
in the room.
Mrs. Stewart was seen by q Times
Democrat reporter to whom she said
that Clark had been with her two or
three weeks, that he was a mighty nice
gentleman, but had been drinking and
did not work last week.
Clark was a fine looking fellow of
more than six feet tall, clean shaven,
and sharp cut Grecian face. He is said
to have wife and two children in Van
Buren,, also brother who clerks in one
of the stores of Van Buren,.
The body was removed to the under

relatives at Van Buren, having
telegraphed him.

Watson to Come Down.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat of
Saturday says:
Watson is to come down. The Popu-
list ticket will be Bryan and Sewall.
The national committee will exercise
all Of its authority to force Democratic
state committees to arrange joint
electoral tickets with Populist state
committees. These were the con
illusions hurriedly reached in con-
ference of Populist leaders with
Senator Jones, chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, after the
convention adjourned.
The Populist national committee will
make the change from Watson to
Sewall under authority of resolution
slipped through the convention just
before adjournment. Probably not a
hundred delegates knew the
extraordinary power that was delegated
TO the committee.
The loaded resolution which the
official minutes show was adopted reads:
Resolved, That the national com
mittee be given plenary powers over the
party after the convention adjOurns. 10

The Farmers Institute.

The program Of the farmers insti-
tute and school board convention is q
good one. The meeting is the open.
ing one for Dickinson county and
seems to be starting out right. The
trouble in the past has been that poll.
tics and hobbies have allowed to have
too great place in the work of the
meetings. There is no reason why
the farmer should not have his meet
ings as well as the teacher and the
professional man to discuss the actual
work Of the farm. When the doctors
meet they do not talk Of tariff or the
sub-treasuryi they give their atten-
ton to the subjects that bear on the
best method Of handling tumors,
fevers, etc. So with the ministers
and editors, they never let outside
matters get into the proceedings Of
their conventions-hardly ever. No
class of toilers is more in need Of con.
sultation than the farmers and no
class gets less good helpful confer
ence. We hope that the coming
meeting will prove so successful that
it will become permanent feature
Of Dickinson agriculture.

The Appellate Judgeship.

The time is rapidly approaching
when the Republicans Of this district
must nominate a candidate for ap-
pellate Judge. 1t is pretty generally
admitted that Judge Carver will be
renominated without opposition.
Whom the other parties will name is
not yet clear. The position is an ex-
ceedingly important one and this
district could make no greater mis-
take than to elect to the bench in so
exalted a position man who is not
qualified both by education and right
principles to represent the people Of
central Kansas in their legal matters.
While this is true it is also true that
there is no walk-away for the candi-
date. The vote in the north central
division in 1894 was as follows: Re.
publican, 25,9lS; Populist, 1886;
Democratic, 5,216; Prohibitionist,
992
1t will be seen that there is a
chance for almost anybody If it were
to be repetition of that years vote.
But this is presidential year and a
Republican year. The Republican
candidate will receive the votes Of
hundreds who realize that 1t Is unsafe
to put Populism on the bench. The
figures are not to be as close this year
as above indicated. The l6 counties
Of this district will show a clear Re-
publican majority over all.

And the Judge Lived On.

At the recent November term Of
Crawford circuit court man named
Driver was arraigned for the crime Of
larceny. The evidence adduced was to
the effect that he stole certain hogs
from man named Pig; that he changed
the marks remarked them) and then
inortgaged the hogs TO man named
Ham. Among the witnesses for the
prosecution was q man named Shoat.
A member Of the bar with waggish pro-
pensities wrote something like the fol-
lowing on a slip of paper and handed
1t to Judge Evans, who was presiding at
the trial. This is most remarkable
case. Here is (hog) Driver accused of
stealing Pigs hogs. He ought to meat
this allegation without difficulty, since
Pig says his hogs were simply mort
gaged to Ham and this can only be
proved by Shoat. This is not larceny;
it is nothing but Dacon's abridgment."
