GOVERNOR MORTON'S POSITION.
A HOPELESS CANVASS FOR THE NoMINA-
TON.

"A
TON.
From The Syracuse Journal
There is reitera;on that Governor Mortons name
will be kept In the canvass for the Presidential
nomination. But. at the same time. many OF ms
homeless. and that already 1t Is well settled that
Mckinley will be named at ST. Louis; II VIII prop
National t Con Convention comes to action, to make
McKinleys choice unanimous with nearly acclaim
The will of the people should exact this respect.
SHOULD NOT BE A sTUMBLTNG-BLoCK.
From The Rochester Post-Express.
No candidate who thinks OF the welfare of
his party than he does Of his own private ambition
will consent to stay in the race moment after he
reaches the conviction that one of his competitors
is the first choice OF a majority OF Republicans the
country over. To hold otherwise Is TO credit Gov
ernor Morton with the mean determination to APP
pear in the St. Louis convention not in the role OF
bona fide candidate, but In that OF disappointed
ofiice-seeker who, failing TO score success takes
his revenge by becoming a stumbng-block.
NOT LADEN WITH COMFORT.
From The St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The repeated and urgent demands of the news
papers OF Governor Morton's own State that he
should Immediately and permanently retire from
the Presidential campaign are hardly calculated
to inspire that gentleman with belief In his own
ability to take the situation by the throat
THEIR LAST HOPE
From The Buffalo Express.
After the statement of Mr.. Plat last week. which
Mckinley all contests which have been or are to
be brought Mr.. Hacketts cool announcement that
the National Committee Is the main reliance
Of those who hope to beat Mckinley will not cause
surprise. But what shameless avowal II is!
LOOKING FOR A REACTION.
From The Hartford Post.
All their schemes having failed, the chagriled
and discredited bosses pretending
count upon a reaction in public sentiment and as II
in the hopes of starting 1t, they are attempting to
belittle Mckinley and msrepresent his views
On such desperate and contemplate tactics do their
homes depend They want somebody they con-
troll as P.att controls Governor Morton They can
not control Mckinley for he has ignored them and
won his support in spite OF them.

WATTERSON is ALARMED.
The Kentuckian, Though in Europe, to
Fight Bryan Vigorously.

Louisville, Aug. 12.-Henry Waiter
son will take a hand in the present
campaign. even though he will spend
the season in Europe. The action of
the Chicago convention has caused
him to change his mind, and he viii
enter the fight.
In the Courier-Journal the editor has
g. four-column article on the Demo-
cratic crisis. He refers at length to
historic parallels in reckless leadership
and recounts the lessons taught by ex-
perience. He says another convention,
platform and ticket is the one hope
Of the Democratic party for the
future. Mr.. Watterson says:
The Republicans are likely to go to
pieces, just as the Democrats have
gone to pieces They are now held to-
gether chiefly by expectancy. It is in
dispensable that the men so ably led
by Mr.. Whitney in the Chicago con-
ventiOn and the men who were shut
out from that convention by local in
huences, more or less sinister and
wholly hurtful to the genuine Democ-
racy. should get together, and, hosting
the banner of reason and truth mar
shall the millions of honest, enlight>
ened Democrats who are ready to fol-
low it"

as recommended by the board in tbs
thirteenth annual report.
I'VE commend the efforts OF the board
of commissioners to secure reduced
rates upon Kansas products to points
where rail and deep water transporta-
ton connect, and We pledge our sup
port to all further endeavors in that
direction.
I'VE heartily endorse the business
like and economical administration of
Governor E. n. Morrill, and his assoc
ciates; and we invite a most careful
comparison between the present Re
publican administration and the POpu-
list administration which preceded it,
believing that every citizen who will
so examine into the affairs of our state
as administered by the present Repub-
lican administration will be convinced
that it is to the interests of the people
to retain the Republican party in pow>
er and control of the state affairs.
I'VE believe that the record of the
Republican party in the past will COM
mend 1t to all good citizens and that
the two years experience the people
have had of Populist depredations and
misrule will bring to our support all
good citizens, Irrespective of former
political affiliations"

NEW YORK FOR M'KINLEY.
Mr.. Whitney Declares the State Will
Be Strongly Republican.

ne SIronB1Y RepuDlican.
Philadelphia. Aug 1.-THE Evening
Telegraph publishes an interview with
ex-Secretary Whitney, obtained by a
staff correspondent in New York. In the
interview Mr.. Whitney expresses the
belief that Mckinley will carry New
York state by 200, 900 majority.
rs it true. Mr.. Whitney, that you
class New York state as doubtful he
was asked.
True, sir?" Mr. Whitney replied
There is not a word of truth In it. It
is not only false, but it is absolutely
false.
when it is alleged that I yield New
York to the silver people they regard
the situation Of sound money as peril
Gus. Knowing this to be the effect of
what such a statement from me on the
subject would be. the bear element
which has been raiding stocks for a
long time and which wants some new
argument to further depress, has most
unwarrantedly seized upon my name
and rascally attributed this declaration
to me. 1t is false, wholly false
Then you do not give up the state %
what! Give UP the state of New
alton? Never! There is nothing-ab-
solUtely nothing-to justify honest men
in yielding an inch of their ground
On the contrary. you may express it as
my firm conviction that Mr. Mckinley
will carry this state by fully 200, 900 ma
jOrity, and in that majority you will
find men of all classes, who put pa
triOtism over partisanship in an issue Of
this kind"

MASSACRE OF WOLVES.
Novel Method of Meeting Silver Cam
paign Expenses in Dakota

Sioux City, Aug. 12.-AlI- over South
Dakota the prairie wolves. on which
there is a bounty of 50 for every scalp.
are being sacrificed by wholesale to
the candidacy of William J. Bryan.
and the nominees for state Offices on
the free silver ticket.
When the present campaign opened
the silver element found itself some-
what cramped for funds. Few mem
bers of the party were able to contri-
butte except in farm products. and
these the local managers refused to ac-
cept, owing to the difficulty in dispos-
ing of them to advantage.
Finally some financial genius living in
the neighborhood af Tyndal suggested
to his friends that money might be
raised if each would pledge himself to
turn into the campaign fund whatever
he might receive in wolf bOunties be-
tween that time and election day. The
farmers organized hunting parties, and
already several thousand dollars have
been raised and placed in the hands of
the campaign managers to be devoted
to the interest of Bryan.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Adopted by the State Convention Last
Evening.

I'VE, the Republicans of Kansas, in
convention assembled, heartily endorse
the nomination of William Mckinley
for president and Carrot A. Hobart
for vice president of the United States,
and pledge them our most enthusiastic
support.
I'VE heartily renew our allegiance to
the principles of the Republican party
so fully and clearly expressed in the
national Republican platform adopted
at St. Louis, each and every part of
which we unqualifedly approve and
heartily adopt as our own.
I'VE regard the three cardinal prin-
cipIes embraced in our national plat
form, viz: Protection, Reciprocity, and
Sound Money, as indispensable to an
enduring national prosperity.
For over a century of our national
history the prosperity of our country
has depended upon a protective tariff
policy, and whenever the free trade
theory has been adopted by our nation
al legislators, it has been followed by a
period of business depression and in
dustrial ruin.
I'VE believe prosperity will never
come to the American farmer, mechan-
ic and 1aborer until the American mar
kets are stimulated by a protective tar
if, and our foreign markets enlarged
and increased by the policy of reci-
procity.
1.-THE Republicans of Kansas believe
in sound money. We favor the use of
gold, silver and paper in the largest
measure possible consistent with the
maintenance of the equal debt paying
and purchasing power of all money.
We are opposed to the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ration of 16
to 1 by this country alone, because it
means silver recommendation, a debased
R,n leesN s,N
national credit.
I'VE condemn in unmeasured terms
the unpatriotic treatment of the veter-
ans of the late war by the present ma
tiOnal administration. and heartily IA
vor not only a more liberal interpreta-
ton of the present pension laws, but
such additional legislation as win
properly care for our disabled soldiers.
I'VE favor the permanent improve
ment of our highways, believing that
thereby the cost of transportation of
agricultural products to markets will
be greatly 1essened, business and social
communication between country and
city facilitated, and values of farm
lands augmented.
I'VE favor national and state 1egis-
lation for the encouragement of irriga-
ton.
I'VE believe that the penitentiary
coal mines should be operated only fol-
the purpose of furnishing fuel for state
and charitable institutions.
I'm the interest of the people Of
Kansas we demand that our senators
and representatives in congress use their
best endeavors to secure such amend
ments to the interstate comerce act as
will enable the interstate commerce
commission to prescribe and enforce
reasonable transportation charges upor.

demand that the legislature Of Kansas
make such changes in the present laws
of the state as may be necessary to in
crease the power OF the board of rail

Joints in an Iowa Town Causes Whole
sale Drunkenness.

Centerville, Ia, Aug. 12.-For the
first time in fourteen years saloons are
running in this city, the home of Gov
ernor Drake, and as a result the police
court yesterday reaped a bountiful har-
vest of DRINKS by one day of uninter-
rupted operation of the muIct saloon.
All day yesterday and last night the
city was the scene of wholesale drunk
enneSS and over forty men and boys
were arrested. The calaboose was then
filled to overlooking and many other ar
rests had to be turned away. Brawls
and quarrels are attributed to the new
saloon, and the friends of temperance
are bitterly aroused. Threats of clean

WAS BURIED THREE DAYS.
Hypnotic Subject Disinterred After a
Season Under Ground

Indianapolis, Aug. 12.-J. J. Wyatt
was placed under hypnotic influence by
Professor Boone in this city on Tuesday
last. At night he was taken to Fair
view park and buried under four feet of
earth with a shaft extending from the
surface to his face to give him air.
Thousands of people visited the park
to look upon the living dead man, :"
and tonight fully 10000 were present
when the earth was dug away and
Wyatt was brought out. When taken
out of the ground Wyatt's form was
rigid and there was no appearance
whatever of life.
Five men were selected to hold him
and he was placed upon his feet. Boone
waved his hands before his face and
Wyatt began to struggle like a mailman
and he threw several men to the ground.
Much excitement prevailed. the crowd
scattering and three ladies' fainting
from fright. Others came to the assist
ance OF the men, holding him, and after
a few moments he became quiet.
A half hour later he was provided
with something to eat, and with water
he ate ana drank heartily. He had
been under ground since Tuesday night
at o'clock, and during that time had
had neither food nor water.
