ters of the state and adjourned
G. G. Clemens in speaking Of the mat
ter today said:
decision in either of the eases was bas-
ed. I suppose that in the Watson case
the court held that the secretary of
state was simply a ministerial officer
and that he had no right to decide such
4 question. I am somewhat surprised
so for its action. Such criticism Is GER
tainly subVersive of good govern

A Story IN Chicago Tribune That it
is Impossiole to Verify.

The following special telegram ap-
peared In the Chicago Tribune yester-
day, which reached here today:

William Jennings Bryan, the POpocrat
candidate for president, has appeared
before the footlights as a professional
actor, according to the statement Of
Duncan B. Harrison, the theatrical
manager. Mr.. Harrison said today he
saw Mr.. Bryan appear in East Lynne
in Topeka, Kan, in March, 1885. the ex-
act date having slipped his memory.
In the winter of 1S84-85, according
to Mr.. Harrison, there appeared on the
programmes of the performance Of Ada
Grey's company the name of William
B. Jennings, who was the leading man.
THE William b Jennings who was
attached to the Ada Grey company dur
ing that season is no other than VIII

If any man named Jennings ever ap-
peared in Topeka with Ada Grey in
1885 a Journal reporter could find no
one today who remembered it. L. M
Crawford. who was manager of the To-
peka theater then as he is now, is in
Omaha. His son, Chester, was shown
the telegram and said:
Il don't remember anything about
Jennings but it is possible he was here
though you know Harrison is a good
deal of a talker. He may have made
that statement without ever expecting
it would appear in print. It seems to
me that it was about 1885 that Ada
Grey appeared in Topeka in East Lynne
though it may not have been in that
year"
A close search of the files of the To-
peka- newspapers for that theatrical
season failed to reveal the date of Ada
Grey's appearance here, though it is
recalled that she played the Crawford
circuit about 1888 or 1889.

What do you really think viii be the
outcome of the electiOn2'
Let me answer questioners and cor
respondents. one and all. through the
medium of the Journal My personal
opinion differs from that which has al
ready been expressed in the letters that
have recently been telegraphed by me
to the Journal from the places where
they have been written only in this.
i am somewhat more confident than
my letters to the Journal have shown, il,
that Bryan viii carry the states that
have been considered doubtful in the
central west, and viii be elected to the

ture. and am liable to all the mistakes

of as diigent, cautious and dispassiOn-
ate effort as [ am capable of to dis
cover the trend and strength of the
tides of political opinion now running
in that part of the country
This was not my first opinion-On the
contrary, it at first seemed to me that
Mckinley. not Bryan, would carry the
central west; but it is the matured
conviction with which I came back to
New York. And that the tide is daily
setting more strongly toward Bryan,
I am convinced

The pulling down of John Boyd
Thacher from the Democratic ticket of
New York on which he was running
for Governor, was the final bow ito
the ambitions of Senator Hill to con-
tinue as Senator from New York. The
willy Senator was trimming his sails,
and using all the subterranean means
possible, to straddle the sound money
and free silver Democracies of New
York, so that in case of a Democratic
majority in the New York legislature,
he would be named to succeed himself.
The pulling down of Thatcher was the
pulling down of Hill, and the pulling
down of the latter was silent but ig-
nominious defeat for him in his Sena-
torial aspirations.

Your Uncle James Arnold has been
the Populist educator in Redwood
county. His writings and his writings
alone, have been placed before the
people of Redwood county when the
people were in a position to study
calmly and deliberately. He was the
only person to speak when the heat of
the campaign had not made it's ap-
pearance. It was only natural that he
had right to expect the nomination
for which he sought and which was
taken away from him at the twelfth
hour. 1t was a case Of ingratitude
unworthy of the convention, particu-
larly considering the mature age OF
Your Uncle Jim.

It is more of an honor to the district
than it is to the man to have such a
representative in Congress as the
Hon. J. T. McCleary is. To-day this
celebrated scholar of finance has not
only National reputation but an inter-
national reputation and foreign
students of finance look for his speeches
and writings on the financial question
as eagerly as for those of any other man
in this broad land. They point to
him as from the Second Minnesota
district. His sayings are orthodox
and ungrateful and unpatriotic would
the district be if it did not give him a
majority far in excess Of anything yet
given him.

In talking to a group of farmers at
Manunka Chunk, New York, recently,
Triplicate Candidate Bryan referred
to the working men, professional men,
business men, etc., as drones and the
farmers as bees who gather the honey.
This will be pleasant news to the
workingmen. The farmers, however,
should be as quick to resent the in
suit, as should the workingmen. If
there we're no workingmen, no bust
ness men, etc., the farmers, or bees as
the Triplicate candidate calls them,
would have no one to sell their pro-
ducts to. Give the workingman plen-
ty of work, and the farmer will find
that there will be a demand for his
products and with the increased de-
mand for his products there will come
increased prices. The way to put the
workingman to work is to vote for Nc
Kinley, protection and honest money

The Republican State ticket is
worthy of the vote of every voter in
the State this year. While The GAz-
ErrE was opposed to the Governor,
on account of the manner in which he
was first made Governor, it has no hes
itancy in saying that he has made an
excellent Governor and that his first
short term in office should be reward
ed by reelection to second term.
For lieutenant governor the farmer
politician, John L. Gibbs, has right
to the suffrages of every voter in the
party. He has been success in poll
tics and on the farm and his know
ledge Of parliamentary law will make
him an excellent presiding officer.

A report from Key West, Fla, is to
the effect that Gen. Maceo of the Gu
ban force, recently enforced night
encounter with the Spanish troops
along the line of the western trocha;
and as result of the battle there was
an awful carnage among the Spanish
troops-at least a thousand of them
being killed and large number
wounded. The Spanish soldiers did
not expect the attack and we're in no
position to resist it. Chaos and tu-
mutt in their ranks followed the at
tack and before military order could
be restored the Cubans under Maceo
had carried out their programme and
retired for a jubilee over the victory.
