be the pivot around which the majority OF
the speeches will revolve. and upon 1t
the women who will be sent out will make
their especial point of attack. Mrs. Roberts
made a speech in the convention seconding
the nomination OF Bryan, and in the five
minutes that she was before the convention
won for herself the reputation of being one
OF the most forcible and logical speakers
that has ever addressed a populist gath
ering.
Cyclone" Davis was discussing the OUT
come of the convention with a party of
friends in the Lindell corridors yesterday
afternoon with several of his friends. He
said: There were a thousand men in that
convention who differed with me, and there
could have been but one result-the selection
of Bryan. II was a case of either making
them believe they we're wrong and myself
and my little band of $50 were right. or
give up. We had to give up, OF course We
were not all statesmen, and their thousand
the other side were neither fools or
traitors. We concluded they were right"

Murder Case.
CHEYENNE. wyo.. July 27.--Cspecial)-
At the close OF the celebrated Crocker trial
in the district court of Laramie county
motion was made by the prosecuting coun-
sci asking that Hugo Donzslmann. one of
the attorneys for the defense, be disbarred
In support OF his motion there was filed an
affidavit made by one Harry a. Stevens,
who swore that Donzelmann had attempted
to have him testify falsely in Crockers be
half agreeing to pay him S., 900 for his testi-
mony, OF which amount he had received SliU.
Judge Scott referred the matter for investi-
CATION to Messrs j. c. Baird. Il. w. Mann
and I. +. Burke OF the Laramie county bar
This committee yesterday presented the fol-
lowing report to the court:
The committee is of the opinion that the
affidavit of Harry A. Stevens. which shows
upon its face that the said Stevens has been
convicted of some felony, is not in itself
worthy OF credit, and that said afiidavit be-
ing unsupported and not corroborated in any
way is unworthy of credit and should not be
taken as the basis of any proceeding looking
to the disbarment OF the party accused.
The committee is of the opinion that the
utter failure on the part of the attorney max
ing the charge to appear before the COM
mittee and present evidence in support OF
the accusation contained in the affidavit of
Stevens indicates that the party or parties
who instituted this proceeding are utterly
unable to present any evidence In support OF
the charge made against Hugo Donzelmann
other than the affidavt OF Stevens. That
Notwithstanding the fact that no evidence
of weight or value was offered against him
the accused voluntarily appeared before the
committee and presented testimony In his
own behalf, consisting OF his own testimony,
the testimony and afidavits Of John W.
Lacey and Samuel T. Corn, his colleagues in
the case, and number of affdavits made by
other parties in his behalf, Indicating that
| there was no attempt on the part of the
| accused to commit the offense of subornation
| of perjury.
| THE committee therefore recommends
| that no proceedings be instituted for the
| purpose of the disbarment OF the said Hugo
Donzelmann or the revocation Of his license
| to practice law"

The remains of Samuel Smith of Henrys
Fork, who disappeared in July 1888, have
Just been found about thirty miles from
Fort Bridger, near beaver dam Sage
creek. The remains were identified by the
saddle and revolver which were found near
the skeleton. There had always been some
mystery connected with Smiths disappear
ance. He was, at the time of his disappear
ance, In charge of the store of Drscoll
Bros. at Burnt Fork postofice. The store
burned the night Of July 10, 1888, and Smith,
who was sleeping in the store, narrowly
escaped with his life. Five days later he
went to Green River to consult an attorney
as to what he should do with the stock
which remained and started for home on
July Is. He never reached there. and as
an extended search for him was without
results it was charged that he had skipped
out and taken a portion Of the firms funds
The discovery of his body establishes Smiths
innocence of this charge, but does not clear
up the mystery of how he came to his

sion OF Kansas democrats and populists,

Congressman william A. Harris. in which

at is generally understood that there will
be fusion in Kansas this year. although
there have been no conferences on the sub
ject and consequently no plans have been

will nominate our candidates for state OIL
GERS and telegraph the democratic repre-
sentatives. They will endorse our nominees
and we will endorse theirs"
EX-Congressman Jerry simpson OF Kan
sas. who was present during the interview.

to do but accept such a plan, and ex-Con-
grCssman JEFF Hudson voiced the same SEN
timent.
Today. under Topeka date the Times
prints an interview with ex-United States
Senator John Martin. who approves Of the
plan as far as II goes. He, however, would
have conference committees appointed by

arrange the details.

published interview also approves of the
plan of fusion. United States Senator Will
liam A. PETER. interviewed as he passed
through the city enroute home from the St

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE ORGANIZED
Members of the Party at MitcheIl
Are Very Active.

MITCHELL, S. D., July N.-(Special)-
A republican league was organized here
Saturday evening, which started out with
but very little canvassing with a mem
bership of $50. w. II. McKeel a promi-
nent farmer, was elected president T. J.
Spanger, vice president; c.. E. Newbury
secretary, and Jerome Wiltse, treasurer
The league intends to hold two meetings
a week to commence with and more if
found necessary. The organization of this
league has been quite surprise. because
it has been the means of bringing into
the party great many free silver re-
publicans, who until now. have not been
in sympathy with the money plank and
as many of them stated. when it comes
to republicanism against popocracy, they
are for the grand old party every time.

WATSON MUST GET OUT OF THE WAY
Boiling Republicans of Montana Issue
Their Mnninte.

BUTTE, Mont. July Ex-senator Mantle
and Congressman Hartman have arrived
here Both say they will support Bryan
because he Is bmetalist and not because
he is a democrat. When the question is
settled they will be republicans in all
things once more.
while 1 deplore that the populists put
up another ticket" said Mr. Hartman, yet
l think in thirty days there will be but one
bimetallic ticket in the field. / think
Watson will allow his name to be with
drawn. The ticket, from a point of good
politics. must be Bryan and Sewall. On
the second thought, Watson and the men
who nominated him must concede this.
Mr. Mantle spoke on the same lines and
said Il regard the action Of the populists
in putting an Independent ticket in the
field very bad politics, as the party has
been crying for free coinage so many years
louder than others. 1t is one of their
cardinal principles of faith. / believe the
vast majority of the populist party is honest
and sincere in the advocacy of bimetallism,
consequently l believe influences will be
brought to bear to get Watson to with
draw"

NEW ORLEANS, July 27.-The Picayune
special from jackson. Miss, quotes let
ter written by President Clevland on May
1, 1892, on the eve Of the democratic con-
vention of that year, to the late L. O. C.
Lamar in which the president, discussing
his probable candidacy, says:
j can easily be disposed of, either by the
selection of a candidate more available or
by the adoption of a campaign policy on
financial questions which l am not willing
TO further In the first case / shall be a
happy helper. In the second / shall sadly
await the announcement of party defeat
which will be predetermined Our southern
friends, II they persist, will be left alone
with their free coinage heresy. The dan
ger is that another southern idea and n
charge OF heedlessness for the public safety
on the financial question will do service in
the place of the memories of the civil war.
The question is often and iustifably put
by friendly southcrners: Can Cleveland
carry New York? The answer is ready as
to Cleveland or any other man If the de-
mocracy Is at all weak on the coinage
question. As one who loves his country and
believes that her interest is bound up in
democratic supremacy, | am most uncom-
Portable and unhappy In the fear that the
south VIII not see until too late the danger
of their marrlng all. If l should read this

DETROIT. Mich. July 27.-The demo-

here tomorrow afternoon and there are
indications that the meeting will have about
it some features similar to those which dis
tinguished the gatherings of the Michigan
democrats in Chicago during the national

the chairmanship of the committee, which is
to be relinqushed by Elliott G.. Stevenson,
but the sound money men are confident of
preventing this. Mr.. Stevenson says posi-
lively that Daniel j. Campau shall not sue
ceed him, although he does not know who
the new chairman will be. Mr.. Campau
was reelected Michigan member of the
national committee after Stevenson had
been selected by the first caucus of Michi
gan members. 1t is not at all certain that
the Michigan men will be able to control
the action of the committee tomorrow, as
its members were chosen by the same dem
ocratic state convention which selected the
sound money delegation to Chicago, enough
of whom were unseated by the silverites
to give the white metal men a majority
of the delegation Leading silver men say
that If the committee is not controlled
