BRYAN WOMEN MAD.
They Want McKinIey's Name in
Flowers Removed From Forest
Park

st. Louis, Aug. 10.-If Park Commits
sioner Ridgley does not plant the name
of VIM. J. Bryan in gaudy flowers
upon the sward of Forest Park or else
expunge the name of VIM. Mckinley,
which now fiaunts itself in the faces of
taxpayers, the Woman's National Bry-
an and Sewan club of ST. Louis will
know the reason why.
In common with other fair minded
residents of st. Louis the members of
the club believe that the discrimina-
ton in favor of Maj. Mckinley dis
played by the park keeper, with Mr..
RidgIey's acquiescence, is unjust to
those taxpayers who are Democrats.
They are willing to presume, how
ever, that the omission of Mr.. Bryan's
name was an oversight, easily under
stood in an administration that is Re
publican, and to afford an opportunity
for the error to be rectihed.
On the whole, they believe that the
hill sides of Forest Park were not in
tended by the city fathers to be used
as political sign boards for the benefit
of any party.
All routine matters, out of the way,
Mrs. Josie L. Tabour, organizer of the
club, stepped forward.
Il feel that all should be equal said
Mrs. Tabour, and that taxpayers of
one party should not be made to pay
for the campaign devices of another
pO44LlCd1 pal ~ Oul at L u est al ~
there is a flower bed in which is set
out the name of William Mckinley. I
believe there are as many Democratic
taxpayers in St. Louis as there are
Republican; more of them, I hope. do
not think it just therefore, that such
discrimination should be shown. sug-
gest that a resolution be adopted by
this club condemning it"
Mrs. Tabours remarks were received
with approval, but the suggestion was
made by Mrs. J. w. Hadlock that per
haps a better step would be to have
Mckinley'S name scratched off.
Besides he may be willing to set
out the name of William J. Bryan" re-
marked another lady when Mrs. Had
lock had concluded" That would even
up matters and perhaps help Mr.. Bry-
ans campaign in st. Louis"
I'VE do not need such devices as
that said another. LAS far as the re-
suit is concerned, the fact that Major
McKinley's name is set out in flowers
at Forest Park will not avail him any.
After November no one will see Major
McKinIey's name anywhere
Others believed with Mrs Tabour
and Mrs. Hadlock that the presence of
Major McKinley's name in a flower
bed in a public park was an affront to
the public.
Mrs. Tabour moved that a committee
of three be appointed to wait upon the
park commissioner with instructions to
request that VIM. ]. Bryan's name be
set out in flowers in a place in Forest
Park equally as conspicuous as that Oc-
cupied by the advertisement of VIM.
Mckinley; failing in this, to request
that the advertisement be removed

SOMETHING FOR HARRIS.
Colonel Harris Talked of as a Fusion
Candidate for Congress-.

>Leavenworth, Kan. Aug. 1O.-The
name of Colonel W. A. Harris of Lin
wood is mentioned as a probable can
didate for Congress from the First
congressional district. His friends
here, both Democrats and PopuIists
think that in Colonel Harris the Re
publican candidate will find an oppo-
nent difficult to overcome, and should
he be nominated by the PopuIists the
Democrats. viii, in all probability, in
dorse him at the Holton convention
which meets next month.
Colonel Harris was a congressman
at-large from this state, defeating the
late Ex-Governor George T. Anthony
in the contest in 1892. His defeat for
the nomination for Governor in the
Populist convention at Abilene his
friends claim. will only make him a
stronger candidate, as the defeat was
not the result of any lack of populari-
ity, but through a force of circum-
stances 1t was difficult to prevent, as
events have shown. His intimate
friends claim that Colonel Harris pre-
fers a seat in Congress to being Gov
ernor OF the state, and if that is the
case, he may be gratified

COMPLAIN OF RATES.
Leavenworth Protesting Against the
Freight CHARGES.

Leavenworth, Aug. 1O.-The Leaven-
worth city authorities have followed
the example of the council of Kansas
City Kan. in sending a complaint to
the state railroad commissioners. charg-
ing that the roads are unfairly discrim-
mating against the Missouri river cit
les
The complaint was sent to Topeka.
It complains against the Santa F'e,
Rock Island, Union Pacific and Mis-
souri, Pacific and Burlington, and it is
alleged that they are charging unrea-
sOnable, extortionate and unjustly dis
criminative rates for the carrying of
wheat, oats, corn and other grains
from Kansas points to that city. AS an
instance it is shown that these roads
charge 10 cents a hundred for bringing
grain from Coffeyville, Kan, to Leav-
worth, a distance of 115 miles, and that
they charge only eight cents a hundred
to transport grain from Coffeyville to

AFRAID OF BEING ELECTED
a Democratic Candidate Resigns
From the Ticket.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 10.-Judge E.
J. Blandin has written letter to the
chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee declining to be
candidate for judge of the supreme
court, for which he was nominated at
the state convention in June. 1t was
well known then that the judge did
not want the nomination and that he
would probably decline as he could
not afford to give up his practice in
Cleveland for even a seat on the su-
preme bench of the state.
81 am going to quit all this polite
al business and devote my time to
law" said the judge. Now he says: It
was nominated against my expressed
wish, but at first I did not consider it
worth while to withdraw from the
ticket. It looked at the time as though
the Democratic party had no chance
to win, and as it would cause me no
Inconvenience to be defeated with the
rest of the ticket, I allowed my name
to remain, but now things look differ

have Travelled through Ohio, and have
ascertained especially the sentiment in

ed if I remain on the ticket. I would
have to give up my law business here
and move to Columbus, and the change
would be exceedingly Improbable. I

my position exactly. I do not think it
would be fair to go through the cam

Fully 10000, 900 of Wall street money
has been pledged already. OF this
large amounts have been paid to Cor
nelius N. Bliss, the treasurer of the
fund. who has already opened an Office
at Republican headquarters.
While a great deal of the money
which has gone from Wall street is
given in the names of individuals, many
of these subscriptions are authorized
by various corporations in which the
donors are Interested
It is stated that the river and harbor
ring, which is the most notorious and
powerful of all the Washin gton Hobbies,
has given its usual subscription to the
Republican campaign, but has withheld
a like amount from the Democratic. 1t
has been the custom for this ring to
give TO both parties alike, to be in COM
mand whichever won. The only money
which the river and harbor ring will
spend for Democratic candidates will
be in congressional districts, where
they will seek the election or reelection
of men whom they know they can con-
troll
D. o. Mills, who was with Mr.. Hanna
and J. Pierpont Morgan at Son-in-Law
Whitelaw Reid's house last Friday
night, with c. P. Huntington and other
tenants of the Mills building, has sub

Mr.. Mills is largely interested in the
American Commercial company, which
has the exclusive contract to catch
seals on the Pacific coast. Several times
this company has been on the point of
being investigated by congressional
committees which might lead to its los
ing it's monopoly. The declaration of
the Chicago platform in relation to the
Pacific railroads is sufficient reason for
Mr.. Huntington desiring to defeat the
Democratic nominee.
