FIGHTING FOR SUPREMACY.

The two factions Of the Republican
party in this State are having a dog
and cat fight tor leadership. The
white or sugar Republicans, recently
allured into republican pastares by
the bait of high protection thrown out
to them, at first swore by all the
saints in heaven that they would have
nothing to do with the old line. black
and-tan Republicans. while the latter
swore equally strongly that the ''sngar
barOns'' would have to dismount their
high horse if they wanted their votes.
Warmoth who leads the white Re
publicans is charged with playing
both ends against the middle and got
up . pretty cock and bull story about
I'M secret agent Of Mark Hanna hav-
ing been down here incogRito and
sized up the situation favorably to The
planters. A. T. Wimberly leading
the regulars at once hied himself to
Mark Hama, and since his return his
side of the house has been displaying
such activity, that color il lent to the
statement that the great Mark has
favored his cause.
AZ q consequence, the planters have
weakened some, and at their last
meeting, while still protesting they
would make no advances to the black
and TAN, they announced their readi-
ness to listen t. proposals. from the
latter. Great cOnc+asiOn, indeed!
The only point in dispute now is
whether the mountain shall come to
MahoDset, or Mahomet 60 to the noun
tain. To y d~isinterested observer il
looks az though it makes very little
difference which goes to the other, 50
long II they get together. The SEN
TIKEL has predicted that they would
get together, Notwithstanding the re-
fined planters strong aversion tn Sam
bo's color and smell. Whether this
prediction will come to pass time will
tell.

TLOOKS THAT WAY.

A recent convert to high protection
was preaching the beauties Of his now
faith to . crowd of plain people rank
ing from the field laborer to the small
farmer. "A protective tariff" said be

No. not exac,ly," taltered the pro-
tecti mist
But it is what yeu have just adj
mittef, when You said the protective

ed farmer NJ. I.
Yes, but you see. protection creates
a home market for the products Of the
American soil. aud the demand raises
the prices Of those products" said the
prntrctionist, with the look Of a man
who had just delivered q telling blow.
ITO be sure,n reioined farmer No. 2,
demand has u tendenc y to raise prices
bnt only when 1t exceeds the supply.
When the supply far exceeds the de-
mand, however. as is the case with
our agricultural products in relation
to the domestic demand, the prices do
not rise but fall. So that to the farmer,
the ''home market" twaddle is a delu-
sion and q snare. He bears the bur-
| den Of the projections extended by law
to the manufacturers, and gets nothing
in return. That is the way it looks to

"Bnt it protects the laborerr persist
ed the protectiOnist.
MY e1peiience," said q laborer
who had stood 4 silent listener up to
this time. 'is that when there is work
to be done and few labOrers to be had,
wages go up, but if there be more
labnrers than needed, wages 90 down.
When two employers run after one
workman, wages so up; when two
workmen run after one employer,
wages 60 down. That seems to be the
way Of the world; everybody looks
after his own interest,"
ANY way, protection is q good
thing" said the protectionist, with
considerably less assui ance.
mo doubt, for the party protected,
bnt not for those who pay the fiddler"
rejoined farmer No. 1.
And il looks that way.

Breidenthal Reelected.

The State Central committee held an
extended meeting August IL for the pur-
pose o. selecting permanent officers and
mapping out a campaign. The candi-
dates met with the committee. The
principal fight was over the selection Of
Chairman A strong fight was made
on Mr.. Breidenthal. The committee
listened patiently to everything that
anybody had to say in reference to the
matter. After spending several hours
time in this way Mr.. Breidenthsl was re-
elected by q vote of 10 to 3, which was
later made unanimous. For some reason
Mr.. Semple's name was not presented as
a candidate for reelection as Secretary.
His knowledge Of the details Of the Office
work makes this action rather surpris-
ing. W. T. Upton of Burlington was
elected Secretary. He is a splendid gen.
tleman, Of high character, good judg-
ment and excellent ability. The Exeou-
tive committee consists of Chairman
Breidenthal, Secretary Upton, Taylor
Riddle, j. M. Allen and Grant w. Har-
rington. J. NJ. Allen is Treasurer Of the
committee. The committee immediate
ly went to work. Dates were arranged
for Messrs. Leedy, Boyle and Botkln for
series of meetings covering nearly
thirty days. The work will be pushed
energetically, and the campaign will be
a lively one. There seems to be no dis
position to hamper the committee with a
continuation Of the fight which has been
wRged for the past few weeks
The advocate., 1896-08-19

The nomination was then made unsnl.
nous.
The fight against Martin was led by
the corporations. The Capital says
that the turning down Of Martin was
due, not to his inability to stand on
the gold standard platform, but to his
decisions. In other words, a man who,
as a Judge, decides that q man ought
to have eighteen months In which to
redeem a home under mortgage fore
closure, has no place in the Republi-
can party, A prominent railroad Off
Cisl was approached by Mr.. Martin
and asked why he was opposed to his
nomination. His reply was that he
did not regard him as q safe man. In
other words, he was not the kind of q
man the corporations wanted.
Governor Morrill, was nominated by
Charles E. Elliott of wellington. Pot.
ter, Peters and TrOutman had already
given up the fight, and the nomination
of Morrill, was made by scclsmstior.
The names Of w. w. Martin, Fort
Scott; Alexander Warner, Baxter
Springs; Milton Brown, Garden City,
and H. E. Richter, Council Grove,
were presented for Lieutenant Gov.
ernor. Two ballots were required.
The first stood: Richter 346, Brown
272, Martin 1913, Warner 1OS. The Sec
ond ballot resulted as follows: Richter
SAT, Brown 226, Warner S6, Martin S6.
This nominated Richter. He has
served in both the House and Senate.

tlemen were presented: DR.. G. NJ. Eng
land, Jefferson county; Rev. H. E. Bsllou,
Nemaha; Col E. Bierer, Brown; F. w.

Atchison. Short speeches were made by
each OF the candidates, except Mr.. Lati-
mer, who was not present. The first
ballot resulted as follows: England 20,
Bierer l6, Ballou "a, Elliott l3, Latimer
10. On the next ballot the vote was;
England u, Ballou so, Elliott u, Harris
A. The Leavenworth delegation was
being polled, but as Ballou had the
number Of votes necessary to win, his
nomination was, on motion Of w. P. Har-
riDgton Of Brown, made unanimous.
The Central committee was then named.
j. S. Kenoyer Of jackson was elected
Chairman and Glenn Smith Secretary
and Treasurer. The resolutions win be
printed later. The nominee is q good
cGmpRigner, and will doubtless make an
interesting fight against Mr.. Broderick.
That gentlemsn's record is very fair on
the silver question, but his acceptance Of
a Republican nomination for National
office carries with it on implied accept
ance Of the ST. Louis platform. II Mr..
Broderiok does not make a square fight
for silver, which he can hardly do, he
will stand an excellent chance Of being
