BREIDENTHAL'S IDEA.
Is Not to Have a Ratification at
All
But to Go Into Office and Serve
the People,
Without Any Noise or Jubilation-
Will Such a Plan be Popular
With PopulistsP

Chairman John W Breidenthal said
to a crowd Of POpulists in his Office to-
day:
Boys I am not in favor of having
any ratification this year. have al
ways been in favor of making as big
q showing Of strength at rallies before
the election as it is possible to do. But
after the election the people elected 20
Ill the offices are supposed to represent
all the people. Every officer that in
tends to do right and I'll his office right
needs the support of all good citizens
and he ought to have it. Now what's
making q big noise and perhaps hurt
Ing some peoples feelings. Why not go
along quietly and go into office with as
much good feeling as is possible and If
we can give the people an administra-

think the people Of all parties Will APP

a LEeAL QUEsrIoN .
About the Enclosure of Tally Sheets
With the Ballots.

a question arose yesterday at some
of the official canvasses of the returns
at several of the county seats in regard
to what should be done where the cleo
ton judges had either through inadver-
tence or ignorance enclosed the tally
sheets and the ballots in the same en-
velopes and sealed them all up together
and sent them to the county clerk A
case Of this kind happened in this
county and in several counties through
out the state the same thing happened.
When the ballots are counted by the
judges at each precinct the result is
tabulated on the tally sheets while the
ballots arestrung on a string and after
wards sealed up in an envelope and the
envelope containing the ballots is sent
to the county clerk. The tally sheet is
also sent to the county clerk but must
not be placed in the envelope with the
ballots, as the law provides that the
envelopes containing the ballots are
not to be opened unless a. recount is
ordered. The tally sheets are taken by
the anvassing boards in each county
and the official returns for each county
compiled from them.
The Barton county people wired to
Topeka and the matter was laid before
Assistant Attorney General GODDARD
and he was Of the opinion that the pre-
cinct judges had better recOnvene and
open the envelopes containing both
ballots and tally sheets and take out
the tally sheets and reseal the enveI-
Opes.

M'KINLEY Will APPOINT.
Two Judges of the Supreme Court
Will Fall to His Selection.

Washington, Nov elect
Mckinley, during his coming term of
Office, will have the appointment Of two
judges OF the supreme court, three
members of the supreme court of the
district of California, three members OF
the court of claims and quite a number
of circuit and district judges of the
United States, if the present incum-
bents retire when they become eligible
to retirement on full pay.
All these judgeships are for life with
the privilege of retirement at the age
of 20 if they have already served ten
years. Justice Field Of California has
been eligible for retirement from the
supreme bench for several years He
is 80 years of age and might retire and
have his successor appointed at any
time by President Cleveland, but his
ambition is to eclipse previous records
of length of service on the bench and
also keep a Democrat from being ap-
pointed. Justice Gray becomes eligible
for retirement March "a, 1898. ChleI
Justice Bingham of the supreme court
of the District Of Columbia and Judge
Hagner and Judge Cox of the same
court also will be eligible for retire
ment during MckinIey's term Judge
Richardson, chief Of the court of claims,
died a short time ago and his successor
can be appointed by Cleveland.
Judges Mott, Weldon and Davis will
be eligible for retirement during Nc
Kinley's incumbency The terms Of Of
fee of Chairman Morrison OF the inter-
state commerce commission expires De
cember 81, 1897, and of Mr. Knapp IN

1t is concerned, and l am glad of It.
By his carefully worded advertisement
he probably fooled a few people, but
here In campus. where people know

These are the sent ments of promi-

"a popular loan, sad Senator Bacon,
''inust be one which the people can

A COLD RECEPTION
GIVEN THE OLD AND FEEBLE GEN.
ERAL ny THE PEo-
PIE.
The Veteran Is SIN willing TO stay
and Fiah, Out the War
to u Finish.

Havana. Jan. 1.-THE situation hsrs
today Is critical. II is the general
opinion that General Campos will eth
er resign today or be recalled to Spain
very shortly. The agitation against his
conduct of the military operations
against the insurgent forces has been
steadily growing for some time past,
and although the Spanlards have loy-
ally stood by him, the Wholesale de-
strnction OF property and the failure
OF the Spanish troops to bring tho enc
my 10 decisive encounter have
brought affairs TO climax. and there
seems to be only way out of tho
difficulty, The newspapers win no lon-
ger be controlled by the press censors,
and print strong editorial articles re-
fiecting upon Cnmpos. Repeated dis
patches hayo been sent to Madrid by
some OF the most influential party
leaders In Cuba demanding Campos' re-
CALL and reply has been received
saying that the matter Will be consid-
cred by the cabinet council to be held
today. 1t is believed that the Spanish
government has communicated with
the captain-genernl explaining the sit
untion to him. and asking for his
Views. II In also said here that the
captain-general has replied TO Madrid
saying that in view OF the critical
situation. and not having the entire
government to decide the question OF
his retirement from further duty In
Cuba, while he Is personally willing TO
remain and fight It out to the last.
The utmost respect Is still shown
here personally for the veteran general
who has done 30 much gallant work for
Spain. and he Is still sustained by tho
AutonomistB. But this Is not likely to
have much influence now on the de-
cision OF the Spanish cabinet. as the
tide OF public disapproval has set SO
strongly against the captain-genernl
politically and otherwise that the eus-
lest way out OF It for him, II IL
aaid, will be to promptly accept the
situation and resign In favor of Gen.
Andridios. his brother-in-law. second In

terly worn out with anxiety. He was
respectfully saluted by everybody. bur
there was no MISLEADING the GOODNESS
OF the manner OF the people towards
him.
