ALL FOR BURTON.
Hwi,xten Times Talks About Sup
portilg the Home Nan.

Heringten Times: We are very
Slsd to know that 1.-THE Burton fight"
that our Populistic friends have been
talking SO much about is not gong 70
come Of in Dickinson county this
year, and that Republicans on al
aides have come to the CONCLUSION
that they will settle their little DIM
culties among themselves instead Of
allowing the enemy to settle tnelr
troubles for them. 1t was one Of the
arguments the Populists used in
order to get the state convention 70
come to Dickinson county, that by
this means they would be able 70
carry the county for representative
next fall and thereby to have it said
that ]. R. Burton was beaten in his
own county.
It's Just possible that they dlon
know the kind Of stuff the Dickinson
county Republicans are made o.
They didn't stop to think what effect
m assertion Of the kind would have
upon us but ne doubt they have found
that out by this time for the Republic
cans Of Dickinson county have never
.been 80 united in their purpose as
they are today. They have found out
lthat "iu unity there is strength" and
that unless we get together and pre-
sent I solid front this year the broad
highway to victory is not by any
means as safe road to travel as some
might think, and for this reason they
have concluded to lay all their differ
.ences aside, and accordingly the party
this fall is going to be q unit on all
things wherein the name and fame OF
Dickinson county is concerned.
No one doubts the ability or the
loyalty Of J. R. Burton to the Repub-
Kc.n marty. No man has done more
for the success Of the party in Kansas
than be has. Two years ago he made
agallant fight for the United States
senatorship against great odds and
came within only one vote OF winning
the prize. He is a candidate again
this year and is in much better shape
to win than he was before, and it
seems to be the almost unanimous
opinion Of Republicans in this section
OF the county at least, that he ought
this year to receive the hearty sup
port Of every Republican in the
county, Besides, we see the same
ideas cropping out among Republicans
elsewhere.
We have taken some pains to find
out and the general sentiment among
Republicans is that we ought to dis
appoint the fellows who promised so
much in order to get the Populist
convention here and show them that
we are not so easily turned. The
general opinion seems to be that we
should, by long pull and strong
pull and pull altogether, let out
siders know that home industry and
home talent is what Dickinson county
Republicans want and what they are
always bound to have.

CANTON, O., July 13.-1t was less than
an hour after adjournment of the Chicago
convention when the Thirty Ward
Foraker club, Of Cleveland, arrived in
Canton 800 strong with their wives and
daughter, to visit Mckinley. The major
made a speech in which for the first time
he came out strong on the money question.
He said the Chicago convention had laid
a responsibility on the people greater than
the civil war.
Then it was a contest to save the
union; now 1t is n contest to save spotless
its credit, lGreat applause. Then sec
ton was arrayed against section; now
men of all sections can unite to rebukc
the Republication Of our obligations and the
debasement of our currency. Applause
Having destroyed business and
confidence by a free trade policy, 1t is now
proposed to make things still worse by
entering upon an era Of deprecated cur
rency. Against both Of these we stand
opposed. Our credit embraces an honest
dollar, an untarnished national credit"

LATEST PLAN OF THE POPULIsrA


Run Teller and Thus Prevent the Election
Of Mckinley.
I ST. LOUIS, July 13.-The impression
seems to be strong among local Populists
that If the Democratic ticket made at Chi
cage is Endorsed by the Populist national
convention, to be held here on the 2ad
inst, 1t will only be after a hard fight.
Teller is still our man." said a we'll
known Populist and silver party man,
''and watch what l tell you; We will NOM
mate him. We figure that 1t is best for
the silver cause to nominate Teller. He
can carry the silver Republican states and
can secure more electoral votes than
Bryan.
Bryan will carry the silver Democratic
states and between Teller and Bryan we
count on securing enough electoral votes
to prevent McKinley's election. II this
can be done the electoral votes for silver
will hold together and will select Teller
or Bryan for president. This Is the latest
plan Of the Populists.

It was all done the chairman brought his

that the nominee for president was chosen

1t looked as if the latter was disastrously
beaten. But Senator Jones, with his
sixteen Arkansas votes, stood firm. He
rallied the followers Of the Maine man
and on the next ballot Scwall secured
ninety votes. Meantime there ap-
peared to be q general movement in favor
of Mclean. Some Of the Bland men de-
serted him and went to Mclean, who led
on the third ballot with 210. After the
announcement Of this vote BANDS name
was withdrawn by Governor Stone, who
read message from the MissOurian posi-
lively declining to allow the use Of his
name for the presidential nomination
The Bland votes on the fourth ballot
went to Sewall in large blocks. but Nc
Lean captured enough to give him SEEM
ingly a safe lead Of 294 against 26l for
Sewall. During this roll call there had
been trouble in the Ohio delegation, which
was pOlied and showed fourteen anti Nc,
Lean votes locked up by the unit rule.
There was also big revolt against Gov.
Altgeld's domination in the Illinois dele.
gation. Ex-Congressman Fithian made
a fiery protest against the nomination of
the Ohio editor.
1t was at this critical juncture that Nc
Leans telegram was read by one of the
Ohio delegates. The Telegram stated that
1t was McIean's wish that he should not
be balloted for. Delegate Sloan, however
after reading the telegram, distinctly
stated that while the telegram expressed
McLean's wish, it did not express thu
sentiment Of Ohio, which on the fifth
| ballot continued to cast forty-six votei
| for Mclean.
| The telegram, however, shattered the
Mclean forces and Indiana. Iowa and
