n. Y. DEMOCRATs TO WAIT.
Chairman Hinckley Asks Democrats
to Wait Till Committee Decides
on q Course.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 1s.-Chair-
man Hinclxley issued a call last night
for a meeting of the Democratic state
committee to be held at the Hoffman
House, New York, on July %. At the
same time as chairman of the state
committee he issued this manifesto to
the Democracy of the state:
ITO the Democracy of the state:
The fact is not to be disguised that the
action of the Chicago convention was a
serious disappointment to the Democ-
racy of New York and has aroused
widespread and increasing opposition.
In this serious situation the attitude of
the party in the state may with more
propriety be determined by its chosen
representa- tiveS in council than by indi-
viduaI initiative
LAS it is important that the action de-
termined upon be wise and united
desire to suggest to you that the state
convention viii soon be called, at
which the delegates to the recent con-
vention are expected to make report Of
their proceedings with appropriate sug-
gestions as to the duty of the DemOc-
racy of the state in the present crisis.
Meantime the utterances of the candi-
dates and interpretations of the plat
form as well as the action of political
bodies with which the Democratic par
ty is not in sympathy will tend to bring
the path of duty clearly into view.
Under the circumstances, recommend
latter consultation with many leading
Democrats of the state) that no def
mite political action be taken by the
Dartv until the assembling of the state
convention"

..silver Delegates

Undersigned Committee of Transpor-
tation have considered the question of
routes and rates and recommended all
delegates and their friends expecting
to attend the convention on the 22d at
St. Louis should, wherever practicable,
travel via the Santa Fe and Wabash.
The first mentioned road is more ac-
cessible to the different parts of the
state and with a train service of more
convenient hours and more frequent
intervals than others and can concen-
trate a larger number of delegates and
others at Topeka and Kansas City at
the same hours.
It is important and especially desir-
able that delegates and interested visi-
tors to the convention form a body as
early on the way as possible for con-
sultation en- route and this can best be
done via the route mentioned than any
other. This is especially true of dele
gates to the Silver convention and in
asmuch as uniformity of action with
the delegates to the other body is hoped
for we deem it desirable to travel in
connection with them for acquain-
tanceship and interchanges of views.
All delegates should arrange to start
in time to reach Kansas City on the
evening of Sunday, July the 18th.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
The Wheat Market Has Been Strong
and Better Than Year Ago.

New York, July 1S.-R. C. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade:
DfsapprovaI of the action of the Chi
cage convention has had some influence
in the markets the past week, but a, far
more important factor has been the
feeling that the financial future IS still
uncertain. This acute attack of doubt,
coming al a time when business is for
other reasons seriously depressed, has
made the week unusually gloomy in
speculative circles.
The wheat market has been remark
ably well supported, despite a very IA
vorable government report and prices
are a shade higher than a week ago.
Western receipts of wheat have been
3,531 633 bushels against 1,S45,34 bush
els for the same weeks Of July last
year and Atlantic exports, flour in
Guided, have been 1,4S59 I bushels
against 547, 018 for the same weeks last
year. These and other reports do not
indicate a. small yield.
The wooden manufacture is waiting
and as new-Urders are exceedingly
slow, the sales of wool at three central
markets for the week were only 2,155,-
100 pounds. There is no change in
prices ana western holders are still ask
ing higher prices than eastern markets
can pay.
The demand for finished products Of
iron and steel is extremely narrow. but
in bars the combination has found itself
unable to maintain prices, and there are
renewed reports that the great decrease
in the sale of nails viii force a reduc-
ton of prices August 1. The average Of
iron and steel prices is the lowest since
a wear ago

rs MARTIN A CAND1DArEP
A Story that He is Really Seeking
Senator PETERS Place.


notwithstanding that ex-senator
Martin refuses to admit that he is 4
candidate for the United States senate,
another reporter than the one who in
terviewed him for the Journal as
above learns through pretty good
authority that he will be a candidate
for United States senator next winter
to succeed Senator PETER if he can see
any light ahead
There is no man in Kansas who is
working harder to secure fusion of the
Populists and Democrats than Senator
Martin. He is working every wire he
can find and he has kept up his work
ever since he has returned from the
senate. Senator Martins work has not
been without result for as the situa-
ton stands now there is nothing in the
way of fusion.
The present move of the senator is
said to be to secure the election of a
number of fusion Democrats to the
legislature who will be unalterably in
favor of his candidacy
If they hold the balance of power he
will count on securing enough RepubH-
can and POpulist votes to elect him.
He would, of course, rather be elected
by the fusionists without opposition
and he would expect the aid of Repub-
licans only in case of a dead lock
Senator Martin, 1t is said, has con-
ferred with some of the Republican
nominees for the legislature where
there is no doubt of their election.
The entrance of ex-senator Martin
into the race will be almost certain to
anger Senator PETERS friends and to
prevent any coalition of Populists and
Democrats on a state ticket. 1t will
also tend to endanger the endorsement
of Bryan by the Kansas delegation at
St Louis. The Populists are very well
suited with Senator PETERS course in
the senate, and will not be willing to
turn him down for Democrat The
Populists are already filed with fear
that the endorsement of Bryan will re-
suit in the humiliation and disappear
of Democrats to scramble for Iegisla-
tive Office in Kansas will heighten the
panic. Popuhsts feel that if they give
up the president to the Democrats, that
the handful of Democrats in Kansas
ought to take a back seat and let the
POpulists have everything in the state.

SAYS CATHOLICS DID IT.
A. P. A Organ Accuses the Church of
Causing Hubbard's Embezzlement


The Kansas A. P a. is standing by
State President A. D. Hubbard in his
recent trouble in which it has been
found that he is short in his accounts
as receiver Of the Snow-Hamilton
Printing company.
The following letter from State Sec
rotary Barker printed in the American
Eagle, the A. p. A. organ, charges the
Catholics with being responsible for
that was not his;
AS there have been numerous inquir-
les in regard to the accident to State
President Hubbard. [ feel that I
should give the members of the order
the best information in my possession
in regard to it.
He slipped on a broom handle and
was thrown off his front porch, strik-
ing on his hip in such q way as to
tear the muscles of the back loose
from the spinal column up to the
head, producing for several days COM
plete paralysis. AS soon as he was
showing signs of betterment I am
told that q Roman enemy of his and
of yours brought on him a financial
embarrassment that was, if reports
are true, uncalled for and brought on
a nervous prOstratiOn that makes his
recovery very doubtful as l am in
formed by his Topeka friends.
L know I voice the sentiments of
the order when L say that the deepest
sympathy is extended to President
Hubbard in his affiictiOn. and that the
confidence of the order is assured him
by the friends throughout this juriS-
dictiOn, and our sincere prayer is that
it may please Il nerciful Father to re-
store him to health. to his family and
and which he had undertaken to ac-
complish such magnificent work for.
