No Reason to Reflect ON Supreme
Court-Chairman Gowdy's Count
of Mckinley Noses.

S. z. Nicholson. of Kokomo. father Of
the celebrated and much discussed bill
which bears his name, was in the city yes
terday for few hours. on his way TO fill
speaking engagement. Mr.. Nicholson
says he expects to be renominated for the
Legislature. although he has opposition.
He expressed some little Indignation over
an interview which appeared in the Journal
of yesterday morning. Judge Land, of
Princeton, leading Prohibitionist, was
ably be defeated. In answer the latter said:
1T is not surprising that Judge Land
should think the Supreme Court will knock
out the new temperance law. / understand
on very good authority that he is a men,
Der of law firm at Princeton which APP
peared for the saloon men in a remon-
STRANGE case there. Mr.. Lands partner
made the argument against the remon-
STRANGE in the Circuit Court. 1 also have
been furnished information to the effect
that Judge Land himself refused to sign
the remonstrance, giving as a reason that
his firm was interested on the other side.

IDENTIFY poor opinion of the members of
the Supreme Court to infer that they will
be influenced by few self-styled politicians
who are favorable to the liquor interest.
The Supreme Court has not shown itself
so rabidly partisan that it will violate its
obligations for the sake of what, to say the
least is questionable party policy.
Judge Lands predictions concerning Mr..
Nicholson's chances for reelection caused
that gentleman to say that the Judge
knows nothing of Howard county affairs.
THE fact Isl said Mr.. Nicholson. that
Judge Land and few others, disregarding
the sentiment among the main mass of
their party, have fallen into the foolish
error of joining the liquor interest by OPP
posing the work of the Good Citizens
League. The only result it can have is to
heap wrath upon their own heads and dis
gust well-meaning people generally

No. 1872 Downey street, without medical at

post norton examination made.
Grothaus was a cobber forty-two years
of age. Besides his wife he leaves no fam

Ex-GovERNoR ST. JOHNS VIEWS.
He Claims the People Of the West Are
for Free silver.

Perhaps no one is better known in Pro
hibition circles throughout the State than
Ex-Governor John p. ST. John, OF Kansas.
He has canvassed most of the States of the
Union, and has personal acquaintance with
all prominent Prohibitionists in every To-
cality. He was among the first of the
guests of the convention to arrive, and
was shown many marks of courtesy. He
says the Prohibition party was never
stronger than to-day. In his own State the
party is we'll organized, he says. and will
make hard fight this year. He is of the
opinion that the Republican party will be
unsuccessful in its efforts to crush it out
of existence.
What sort of platform do you think
ought to be adopted by the convention?''
he was asked.
81 shall advocate platform made on
broad lines. / have been speaking for
years in favor of widening out. We must
get broader views if we hope to get the
votes of the people. We must have con-
victions on all the public questions of the
day. There has been too much OF dis
position in the Prohibition party to con-
duct 1t as the Christian Endeavor and 9TH
er religious organizations are conducted.
Those organizations are all right in their
way, but you cannot run political party
on the Sunday-school plan. The Prohibit
tionists everywhere are beginning to see
this, and I believe, after having heard &
good many expressions here, that the party
in Indiana will take the 'broad-gauge
plan."
Mr.. st. John will address the convention
this morning, and will further emphasize
the views expressed above. He says the
people of the West are practically for free
silver-especially the farmers. 1t Is his
opinion that the time is at hand when the
advocates OF free silver will demand that
they be heard on this question Speaking
on the subject of Republican politics In
Kansas, Mr.. st. John said that ex-senator
John j. ingalls, is ambitious. to re-enteI
political life, and that he will not be sur.
prised if he is reelected to the United
States Senate. Mr.. st. John considers In
gals as being the ablest man the Republic
ans of Kansas have in their ranks.
John G.. Woolley, of Chicago, represents
the old-time conservative element of the
Prohibition party. He is amongst what Is
not inaptly termed the "narrow-gauge'
element of the party-tnat class of mer
who think Prohibitionists should confint
their efforts to the suppression of the sa'
loon alone, and that they should not med
die with other questions of national and
State politics. He is of the opinion that
if the party unde rtakes to handle Other
questions the great central idea will be
lost

So Says MIR. GOwdy of the Candidates
for National Delegates.


for National Delegates.
Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican
State committee, has gone to the trouble
of obtaining the preferences Of candidates
to the national Republican convention for
the presidential nomination. The letters
which Mr.. Gowdy has received indicate
that a majority of those Republicans who
wish to go as delegates to the st. Louis
convention favor the. nomination of Mr..
Mckinley. Mr. Gowdy wrote the chair
men of the different county committees
tn the Information. OF the niEc men who
a-s spokSI. of as candidates ar large, eight
have stated their preference for Mckinley
nomination. Smiley n. CHANCES, of this
city, who is a prominent candidate for
delegate at large, Announced MS preference
for Nj. Allison, saying the iowa statesman
who have been mentioned as delegates
from their respective districts, all but two
have announced themselves as Mckinley
candidates. The two exceptions express
a preference for the nomination of Mr..
Allison, although they say they have moth
ing but the friendliest feeling for Mr.. Nc
Kinley and would vote for him should later
developments make the nomination of Mr..
Allison appear inexpedient or impossible.

DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.
Combination of Silver Forces Make
Success Certain.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Reports received at
national Democratic headquarters during the
last three days strengthen the belief that Mr..
Bryan will carry at least two-thlrds of The
electoral votes of the United States.
During the last week fusion between the
Democrats and the Populists has been con-
summated in North Carolina, Kentucky, Illi-
nois and Wyoming. This union of the silver
strength in these States, it is claimed, assures
them all for Bryan by overwhelming MAORI
ties Even the Republicans concede that they
no longer have any chance in North Carolina
and Kentucky. In Kentucky fusion was
reached yesterday, under an agreement where
BY the Populists withdrew their electoral
ticket and are given two places on the Demo-
cratic electoral ticket. In North Carolina
the Democratic, Populist and Silver parties
have united on the Bryan electoral ticket, the
Democrats naming five electors, the Populists
FIVE and the Silver party one.
In Illinois four Democratic electors have
Withdrawn and their places are filled by four
Popuists This completes fusion in Illinois,
gives 10000 Populist votes in this State to
Mr.. Bryan, and the Democratic managers
declare assures a majority of at least 10000
for the Democratic ticket.
The Democrats and Populists Of Wyoming
have also arranged fusion on the basis of two
Democratic and one Populist elector.
