DEMOCRATS WILL NOMINATE,
VIII Not Indorse the Candidacy of
Rev. Mr.. Callahan to Succeed
DeleYnte Flynn,

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 16.-(Special) There
is no longer the least doubt that the DEM
ocrats, at their congressional convention,
to meet at Fl Reno. September 3, will re-
fuse to indorse the nomination of Rev.
Mr.. Callahan, the Populist candidate, and
put up Il straightout Democrat. Mr. CAL
lahan has in the past made himself obnox-
ious to Democrats in general, and then,
too it goes against most Democrats to
think of voting for a preacher who never
touched drop in his life, and will not
.'set 'em up to the boys in any way dur
ing the campaign, for "begad, sir. the
campaign would be dryer than the weath-
er, with such a man on the ticket" said
one Of Heke Smiths imported Georgia COL
onels to the Journal correspondent to-day.
The majority of the Democrats think that
demanding free silver and attacking the
supreme court is going far enough, with
out being compelled to indorse the ter
ritorial Populist platform, with all its va
carries and glaring inconsistencies. 1t is
also thought best to have a man to represent
the territory when the next distribution of
pie takes place. and all feel that Callahan
would not i'll any way represent Democ-
racy, SO they will put up man of their
own, feeling that, should he be defeated,
the territory will be better represented by
Flynn than by the unknown preacher Cal
lahan. whose whole stock in trade seems
to be that he is better looking than Mr..
Flynn.

Kansas City Life Underwriters.
The Chicago Times-Herald yesterday con-
tained the following bit of news that will
be of interest to insurance men in Kansas
City:
after lively fight S. w. Gregory. a
life insurance solicitor, has been convicted
of rebating by the Kansas City Life I'm
derwriters' Association. the members of
which pledge themselves to have TO fur
ther dealings with him. The case was re-
ported to the association and carefully
canvassed by the executive committee,
which reported the following resolutions:
Whereas, 1t has become apparent that
one Sam w. Gregory, life insurance
broker of this city, is guilty of the most
baneful and pernicious practice of rebatins,
and, therefore be it
Resolved by this association, That such
practice is contrary to the rules and meth
DDS which govern all well regulated organ
izations of life insurance agents. and is
particularly offensive to the members of
this association; therefore be it further
Resolved, That the members of this as
sociation Jointly and severally do hereby
pledge themselves not to accept appica-
tions for or consider any proposition for
life insurance in the future from said brok
er. Sam W. Gregory. or to in any manner
recognize a proposition for insurance that
he is known to be connected with.
"A special meeting of the association was
called last week to consider the resolutions,
which were adopted in the face of bitter
opposition by a number of the members.
The charges We're preferred by S. G.Gant,
of the Provident Savings Life"

Thomas J. Green, a large real estate

the prevailing depression, or at least
cause which aggravated twas the un-
certainty surrounding the settlement of
the financial question. This uncertainty is
affecting all classes of business. The busi-
ness world Is always nervous. and while 1t
Is agitated more or less keenly by the
presidential canvass. when the tariff, a
business question, is usually foremost. yet
II is especially nervous at the present time
owing to the agitation of the money ques-

was TO an audience of people all thinking
as did the speaker, and therefore in perfect
sympathy with him. AS consequence an
oratorical effort was necessary. In New
York matters were different. Mr.. Bryan
realized these different conditions. and
acted accordingly. The New York speech
was to the United States. His discussion
was on an exceedingly high plane. In fact.
much the same in tone and temper as was

highly commendable.'
