GOV.CRAWFORD FOR SILVER
offered to Act as a Delegate to St
Louis, but Too Late.

Ex.Gov. s. ]. Crawford is still sup
porting the cause of free silver and
would have gone to the national silver
convention as a delegate from Kansas
if it had not been for a mistake.
Gov. Crawford was at his farm in
Cherokee county when the state silver
convention was held and a letter was
written to him asking him to allow the
use of his name before the convention
as a delegate.
The letter was delayed and was not
received until late. Mr.. Crawford an
swered at once saying that he would
act as a delegate to the national con-
vention but the letter was not received
until after the state meeting had ad-
journed and the delegates had been
selected.
The ex-governor is now at his farm.
Before he left Topeka this week to re-
al of his friends that he would stand
by the cause of silver.

WAS A BAD BREAK.
DonnelIy Incident Weakens Votes of
the Middle Readers.

ST Louis, July 23.-The action of the
middle of the road steering committee
last night in first offering their sup
port to Ignatius Donnelly, of Mime
sofa, for permanent chairman and then
selecting J. E. Campion of Maine,
caused the trouble. Quite a large num-
Der of delegates have assured Mr.. Don
nelly that they intend to support him,
but the steering committee remains
firm in its intention to stand by Cam
piOn.
This will cause further division in
the already unorganized ranks of the
middle of the road men, and the Bryan
adherents will doubtless be able to
easily select their man for permanent
chairman. The middle of the road con
tingent are also talking about other
candidates in hope of a compromise of
some kind.
The Bryan men seem very much in
clined to select Senator Allen of Ne
braSka, for chairman

BRYAN PROBABLY SAFE.
His Friends Now Working to Save
SewalPs Scalp.

St. Louis, July 23.-The middle of the
road POpulists, at least the leaders, ap-
peared to realize this morning for the
first time that they could not control
the situation, and although the rank
and file still cried for absolutely indie
pendent action, most Of the leaders
were talking comp conise on the basis
of q POpulist vice presidential nOmina-
ton and a division OF electors. They
have made many mistakes and perhaps
none will prove more costly than the
ignOminiOus dumping of Ignatius Don
nelly, whom they had selected as their
candidate for permanent chairman, for
a man named CampiOn of Maine, who
is bitterly opposed to SewalL
DOnnelly was selected only last even
ing and superseded before midnight.
His friends are very much disgruntled.
Furthermore, the middle of the road
ers cannot get control of the committee
which will formulate the lines of ac-
ton for the convention. The Bryan
men consider that they have Bryan's
nomination practically assured, and
they are now working like beavers to
save SeWau- Should they be beaten in
this latter regard the chances seem to
favor the nomination of A. L. Mimms
of Tennessee.

BIG CORN SALES.
More Than 100000 Bushels Sold
Since Monday.

Kansas City, July 2S.-More than
100000 bushels of corn have been sold
by Kansas City grain men since Mon
day morning for delivery within the
next fortnight. The business has gone
to the front with such a bound that
even old time grain men are surprised.
The free movement was caused by
the marked reduction in freight rates
and the fact that an enormous new crop
is now assured. 1t is thought there is
in the state of Kansas 10000, 600 bush
els in cribs along the railroad lines and
many times the number in the interior
part of the country that Will be kept
and fed.
That portion of the surplus along the
railroad lines, if sold at prevailing
prices, will bring over a million dollars
to be put out among the farmers of the
state.
