Won, T TAKE WATsON orr.
Senator Butler Says That is Out of
the Question.

Washington. Aug Ex-senator But
Ter of North Carolina, chairman of the
national committee of the Populist par
ty and other members of the executive
committee Of that party arrived today
to attend the meeting of Popuhst man
ayers called for this afternoon.
Only five members of the executive
committee are here the others having
sent letters of excuse. 1t was decided
even before the executive committee
met that the national headquarters
would be in Washington and it is prob
able that rooms in the Wormley hotel
adjoining the Democratic headquarters
will be secured for the purpose.
One of the interesting matters which
possibly may be brought up is the vice
presidency, though it is not known that
the executive committee will listen to
proposition looking to the withdraw
al of Tom Watson from the ticket
Senator Butler said that if Sewan had
stood for what Bryan does before the
people, neither the holding of the Pop
ulist party organization together, nor
anything else would have prevented the
nomination of the whole Democratic
ticket by the Populists. AS it is, Sew
all does not represent the Populists and
sent to vote for him. He thinks that
Watson stands a better chance of be-
ing the next vice president than Sew
all.
Another matter to. be settled by the
meeting of the executive committee is
the notification of Watson. Mr.. Butler
is chairman of the notification commit
tee.
Josephus Daniels, member Of the
Democratic national committee from
North Carolina is in the city. Mr.. Dan
iels felt that the Democratic situation
was far from agreeable and not very
promising in North Carolina, while
Mr.. Butler was seemingly satisfied with
the political situation in his own state.
1--WE can give eleven electoral votes
to WATSON he said, without men
tioning what else might be done"
The appearance of Senator Mitchell
of Wisconsin at national congressional
headquarters was an occasion for con-
graduation. Senator Mitchell always
has been a pronounced gold man but
will support Bryan.

NOT MANY.
Members of the Democratic
State Central Committee
Say That Gold Democrats Are
Very Scarce, Indeed.
COMMITTEE is HERE
To Make Arrangements Fer the
Coming Campaign.
Democratic and POpulist Com
mittees Work Together.

There will be a meeting of the Dem
ocratic state central committee at the
Hotel Throop this evening to make ar
rangements for the coming campaign.
This is the first meeting of the com
mittee since the Hutchinson conven-
ton. The Democrats think that it is
time an organized campaign is begun
There remains one vacancy in the exec
utive committee that will be filled by
appointment this evening.
The executive committee will secure
headquarters tomorrow and will also
probably arrange for the clerical help
necessary to carry on the work. J.
Mack Love of Arkansas City the chair
man of the executive committee will be
in Topeka most of the time after the
first of September and will have charge
of the work w. H. L. Pepperel, the
secretary, will also be here a great deal
of the time. Although no action has
been taken yet it is supposed that Ma
jOr A 2. ShreVe viii nave charse oL
the clerical work at headquarters.
Several of the committeeman are in
town this morning and some Of them
made an informal call on john w
BreidenthaI of the Populist committee.
The Democrats will maintain a sepa-
rate headquarters and viii make the
dates for the Democratic speakers that
will take part in the campaign. AS Tar
as it is practicable the two committees
will work together and will arrange to
have both Democratic and POpullSt
speakers at the principal rallies Of the
parties.
A group of the Democrats here this
noon at the ThroOp was asked as to
how many gold Democrats they had
| heard of and the following replies re-
! ceived:
Thomas ]. NIcCue of Colby: II don't
think there will be over six or seven in
the Sixth district We have few, of
| course they are mostly the kind that
voted for Morrill, the last time, though
Sidney G. Cooke: There are one or
two in my county. Not many though,
and I don't think there will be many
| in the state
J. Mack Love of Arkansas City:
| There are three in my county and that
| is an I can hear of. They all work in
| the same bank"
| ssThere are a few out around in the sta te
| but there won't be enough to hold much
! of a convention"

VICTORY FOR TEBEAU.
Court Rules That the Cleveland Cap
tain's Fine be Not Assessed.

Cleveland, Aug. 18.-Captain Oliver
Tebeau of the local baseball team,
came out of his memorable fight against
the National league today with flying
colors.
Judge Noble rendered his decision in
the Tebeau injunction case this morn
ing. Only a few fans were on hand
and even President Robinson, who had
followed the entire proceedings from
the start, was not in attendance at the
closing scene. But when the ruling of
the court was impaired to him, he
seemed himself to be the happiest man
on earth. Besides declaring the fine il
legal, the court ruled that he would
grant a new injunction to prevent the
league from either interfering with the
Cleveland team or it's captain, but for
the fact that the same objects were as
sured by continuing the original re-
Straining order.
The object of the injunction prayed
for in the petition was to prevent the
National league from collecting an al
legged wrongful 5000 fine assessed against
the local captain or barring the team
or players from participating in cham
piOnShip games.

platforms or nominees of their parties
to come in. OF course if they do not
come, we can't make them. The vote
of the old Prohibition party in this
state four years ago was over 5000 and
our part of the Prohibition party
ought to get more than that if the peo-
pie that say they will bolt other par
ties will do so.
s'Perhaps the majority of the Repub-
lfcans who bolt will do so on account
of silver and most of these win vote
for Bryan. don't know what they
will do when it comes to the state tick
et 1 have not had any talk with our
leaders and judge only from my own
community. The diScontented Republt-
cans don't like Morrill, and don't seem
to know very lnuch about Leedy.
Continuing, Mr.. Forrest said:
The Nationalist party is the Prohi-
bition party. We believe that the most
important question which the people
could possibly take up and settle is the
one of prohibition. If it were possible
to get prohibition this year it would
benefit the country more than any
thing else, not only morall-- but would
do the country more good materially
than the settlement of the financial is
sue as now presented. But we have
never been able to challenge the atten-
tion of enough people to make the
question a national issue, and we are
going to go along and preserve our OF
ganization and do what good We can in
regard to the financial issue now up,
and when the time comes we will be
able to do something for the prohibi
ton question.

MRS. CHILES' SIDE OF 1T.
Saws the Food Furnished Prisoners is
Not Bad

Mrs. M. z. Chi1es, wife of Nick Ch1les
is indignant that charges have been
made against the food furnished pris-
oners at the city jail and today secured
a statement from B. F. Morrow, where
she purchases her meats which is as
follows:
In regard to the meat that Mrs. Chiles
sent to the city prison for breakfast II
was of the best quality and all that
they buy here is of the best 1 have
got some of the same beef on hand, II
anyone would like to inspect it.
[Signed1 B. F. MORROW
To this Mr.. Chiles adds:
The above statement from 3. F.MOr-
row, meat merchant, extra precaution
has been taken to see that the contract
for furnishing meats to the city is fully
complied with to the letter The city
food inspector inspects all meats furn-
ished and he is the authority upon
which we rely.If anyone has good cause
to complain about bad food or lack OF
quantity the persons whose duty 1t is
to supply the meals should be notlhed
and given a chance to furnish proper
food before the Would-be boss runs to
a restaurant to cart away the cold hash
and scraps to feed the prisoners.
If our political bosses are in a stew TO
pay a back debt that fact should be
known so that everyone can have his
dues. Trumpery and disguise should
be spurned wherever it is found and
then will honesty and fair play reap its
righteous reward and the demagogueS
receive their just deserts.

SIMPSON AND LONG.
Will Hold Ten Joint Debates in the
Big Seventh.

Hutchinson, Aug. 1S.-The challenge
issued by the Populist central commit
tee for this district to Chester I. Long
has been accepted by Chairman Har-
low of the Republican committee and
Long and Jerry Simpson will meet in
joint debate.
Ten meetings will be held during the
campaign where they will meet. This
is the third campaign in which Long
and Simpson have been the opposing
candidates for congress and during
each campaign they have met in joint
debate, and they never fail to draw i'm
mense crowds because of their popu-
larity among the members of their own
party.
The Republican committee has al
ready arranged Longs appointments
until September IA, so that the joint
meetings will not occur until after that
time. The executive committee of the
Populist congressional committee met
here today with Mr.. Simpson and fixed
his appointments for the campaign, ex-
cept for the ten meetings with Long.
