TO BEAT BRYAN.
Nebraska Gold Democrats Seek That
Result Only in Another Ticket.

Omaha. July 30. Sterling Morton
will be in Omaha today. It is generally
understood among Nebraska Demo-
Gratis that his presence is for the pur-
pose of a conference relative to his
presidential candidacy on the gold
standard ticket. A call of the gold
standard Democrats of Nebraska to
confer as to the advisability of indors-
ing the plan of putting a gold standard
Democratic national ticket into the field
will be issued within a very few days.
This was learned from an old line Dem
ocrat who is high in the councils of the
administration Democrats in this state
There is no question:" said he, that
the prevailing sentiment among the
honest money Democrats of Nebraska
is strongly in favor of putting up a ma
tional ticket with an out and out gold
Democrat as a candidate for president.
This feeling is born solely of a desire
to do everything possible to aid in the
election of Mckinley and not with the
expectation that the ticket will be sue
cessful in the end. The aim and pur-
pose of the gold standard Democrats
is to down this Bryan craze"

SAYS State Win be Republican.

Canton, O., July 3O.-Ex-Governor J.
NJ. Thayer of Nebraska called to pay
his respects to Governor Mckinley yes

There was considerable anxiety in our
state at first after the nomination Of
Mr.. Bryan as to the result of the cleo
ton in our state, but that has largely
passed away and is rapidly dying out
We no longer feel doubtful as to where
Nebraska. will be found at the NOvem-
Der election.
I have been in Nebraska. since 1854
and am familiar with its politics. We
realize that we have a hard fight, but
we are like General Grant in this that
when we have something difficult to do
we are the most determined to succeed.
The Republican leaders are united.
There is not a faction, and they viii
do good work for Mckinley. We will
get at it early and keep at it until vic
tory is won. You may put it down as
thing beyond doubt that we will carry
Nebraska on the next election"

TERROR AT CRIPPLE CREEK
A System of Brigandage Said to be
Conducted by the 1own Officers.

Denver, July 30.-A paper publishes
as a. special from Cripple Creek a
lengthy article to the effect that a
reign of terror exists in the town and
a violent attack on Town Marshal Jim
Marshall and Police Magistrate Robert
Mullen was made.
1t is asserted that the marshal makes
regular assessments on the gambling
fraternity and that respectable citi-
zens are thrown in jail, tortured and
fined without even a pretense of a
warrant or authority.
For several months it is alleged out
rageous acts on the part of several of
of the city officials have been growing
more frequent and bold, but so COM
pletely have the police terrorized the
people that they have not even dared
to criticise the acts of the officials.
Among those who have been perse-
cuted are the Boy Preacher Rice and
his wife.

RESUBMISSION IN DAKOTA.
The Supreme Court Refuses to Act
Upon the Question Till Voted On.

Pierre S. D. July 30.@The supreme
court today handed down an opinion
in the case of the state of South Da-
kota ex rel Cranmer vs.. Thomas Thor
son, secretary of state. This is the
case involving the validity of the act
Tesubmitting the prohibition clause of
the constitution. The court refused to
application to restrain the secretary of
state from providing that the question
should be placed upon the ballots on
the ground that at the present time
the court had no jurisdiction to review
the case and pass upon the questions
involved
Until the people had voted upon it
and it had reached a, stage where the
action could be taken upon its provis-
ions, the court could not properly de-
eide upon it's validity.

THE LAST GALL.

The CHRONICLE has made repeated
calls upon those who are in arrears on
subscription, and thus fai with provok-
ingly poor success. With the large ex-
pense incurred in building a new Office,
and in the purchase Of new press, and
other supplies to replace those destroyed
by fire in July last, our financial situa-
ton, by reason Of failure on the part
Of delinquents to respond to our appeal,
has become critical and fairly intolerable.
We make anether-the last call, before
adopting harsher means, which we will
be compelled to do, in the event of this
last call being unheeded. In some
instances wind has been utilized as
motive power, but it has never been
successfully employed in running
newspaper, it therefore becomes an alb
soirte necessity for us To have money to
meet our obligations. Will our delin-
quent subscribers realize this fact and
make an earnest and immediate effort
to settle their accounts, and thereby
relieve us OF our present embarrassment
and save themselves additional ex-
pense? For a short time we await a
