The advocate., 1896-07-01

gAOAASo
The Lskin Ad0Oc0ts (Rep.) refuses
to support Mckinley. Mr.. Hoskinson,
its editor, Is a conscientious silver man
and he possesses that honesty Of pur-
poses which Compels him to stand by
his principles, no matter what the cost
may be.
! Chester l. Long started the yarn
about Jerry Simpson selling his quota
of garden seeds and made q great howl
about it, but it did not trouble Ches.
ter's conscience any to vote vacation
salary of 800 per month for clerks to
Congressman.
The Populist Judicial convention In
the Chase-C Coffey- Lyons district met st
Emporis Thursday and nominated
Judge w. A. Randolph to succeed
himself. The Democrat convention
which met at the same time and place
also nominated him.
Postmaster Davidson, of Hoxie,
seems to have better standing with
Morrill, than with the Democratic con-
Vention. The convention declined TO
approve his election as q delegate to
Chicago. Morrill, has just appointed
him Justice Of the Peace.
G. w. Jones, colored Republican
lawyer of ability of Hill City, cannot
stand the finance plank and has joined
the Populists. He is unable to give up
his political convictions In order to be
in line with his party. Principle above
party is very good motto.
Dan Anthony says that the Kansas
contingent at the st. Louis convention
was made up of a lot of blOckhesds
and nonentities and that one of the
delegates for the First district does
not possess sufficient business ability
to operate peanut stand.
The editor of the Belleville Freeman
has Q record as q fighter. In q recent
issue 1t was truthfully stated that that
paper never started newspaper fight
and so far as the mind of man runs 1t
never stopped one. Itsimply suspendG
its fight occasionally until there is an
evidence of life displayed on the other
side.
Judge W. G. Webb of Topeka is be-
ing urged for the nomination for Chief
Justice. His legal ability and judicial
capacity are recognized by every one
who knows anything about him. His
admirers will make strong effort to
have his name placed on the ticket,
believing that In so doing they are
adding strength to the ticket.
Emporis Republican: "EVery In
telligent person believes that the party
in this State cannot win on the Ma
tionsl platform. And until the next
National Republican convention re-
verses the action of the late one, II
seems to us it would be best for Kan
sss to fight it out on traditional
lines, with candidates In harmony
Herewith.
The Norton LiberGtor says that
Webb McNall has bolted the st. Louis
platform and will stump a portion Of
the big Sixth for Mccormick. He
says: can these years we have been
passing resolutions In favor of free
silver. Now We turn around and tell
The advocate., 1896-07-01


Some days ago dispatch was sent
out from Fort Scott In which It was
stated that the Citizens Alliance
Of that place had passed resolutions
denouneing Chairman Breidenthal and
Secretary Semple and calling on them
to resign. The editor of the Fort
Scott Lantern is authority for the
statement that there Is no such organ.
izstion In that city and that no body of
Populists adopted such q resolution.
Judge Williams has appointed d. o.
McCray receiver for the Topeka Capt.
tai Company. John r. MulVsne owns
most Of the stock. The receiVership
proceedings were brought by an indi-
Vidusl creditor of J. X. Hudson, and
in the petition it was alleged that the
Capital Company was organized to beat
Hudson's creditors. The claim is for
$4,000, and 1t is probable that Mr.. Mul-
Vsne will pay the amount rather than
let the paper pass out Of his hands.
The following named gentlemen
were nominated for the offices by the
Lyon county Popullsts: Clerk of District
Court, S. F. Bucher; County Attorney,
Henry D. Dickson; Probate Judge, r.
A. Resburn; County Superintendent,
R. s. Spiker; Commissioner First Dis.
trict, Peter Hughes; Representative
Forty-seVenth district, L. R Wright;
Representative Forty eighth district,
j. w. Gray. 1t is a splendid ticket
and Lyon county will be fortunate In
its election.
The Utah Populists In their State
convention nominated Warren Foster
Of the Inter- -Mount0in AdUocGte for
Congressman. Mr.. Foster is well
known to Kansas people, having been
editor of the Hutchinson Gazette and
quite prominently identified with State
politics. He is a rustler, the right kind
Of Populist, and he will make faith
full representative of his people. His
Kansas friends will rejoice If the ma
jOrity of the people of Utah record
their votes in his favor.
Ed Howe of the Atchlson Globe
(Rep.) sent the following In dispatch
to his paper from st. Louis: "St.
