Shawnee POpulists.

The Shawnee county Populist con-
vention August was quite largely at
tended. 1t was too large for the hall
In which it has usually been held and
it was adjourned to a larger one. The
first fight was on the election of tenn
pOrsry Chairman. ID. M. Howard and
G, j. Stanley were the candidates. The
former was supported by the Level
ling adherents and was defeated by a
vote Of 115 to 50. This was not in
tended as unComplimentsry to Mr..
Howard, as the vote was representa-
tive of the feeling of the convention on
political lines. Considerable time was
spent in considering and acting on
committee reports and IN hearing
speeches. When q vote on delegates
was reached q good-nstured contest
began. The delegates were selected
with reference to their feelings as be-
tween Lewelling and Harris for Gov
ernor and Webb and Clark for Chief
Justice. 1t is believed that the dele
gates elected are for Harris and Clark.
They are as follows: II. H. Wallace,
G. ]. Stanley, Grant Mcconnell, Frank
Jacques, w. H. Coultis, J. w. Helm
ecke, W. o. McElroy, H. M. Owens, S.
N. Bergen, J. B, Billiard, F. J. Ely, G.
G. Clemens, o. o. Osborn, f. E. Ches-
ney, Arthur Clark and John Workers.
An attempt was made to instruct the
delegates to observe the unit rule, but
it was defeated. Delegates to the Con.
gresSional convention were elected.
An effort was made to instruct them
for H. G. Root, but the motion was de-
feated. Delegates were also elected to
the Court of Appeals convention which
met at Topeka August 4. No instruc-
tions of any kind were given the dele
gates.

AMO a SShAASoSAOA~A OOAVOA
tion In the Fifth district was called to
order at Junction City July % by John
ID. Cooper of DelphOs. An address of
welcome was delivered by Judge Psttee
of the Tribune, which was responded
to by Mr.. Cooper. II. w. Hawkins of
Marshall county was elected temporary
Chairman and w. I. Hopkins of Dick
inson was chosen Secretary. The usual
committees were then named.
Nominations being In order, ex-
County Clerk j. j. Marty of Clay pre-
sented the name of w. d. Vincent.
H. w. Hawkins nominated Andrew
Shesrer of Marshall. Saline county
nominated ex.Stste Superintendent II.
N. Gaines. Several pleasing speeches
were made by delegates in seconding
the nominations. The bslloting was
by secret written ballots and permitted
the utmost freedom on the part Of del
egstes. For seven ballots there was
practically no change, the vote starting
as follows: Vincent S915, Gaines 80,
Shesrer 1619. The vote remained prac
ticslly unchanged until the eighth bal
lot, when it stood: Vincent 46, Gaines
81, Shesrer 10. The result had scarcely
been announced until Mr.. Gaines was
making speech In which he moved
the unanimous nomination of Mr.. Vim
cent. This was seconded by Mr..
Shesrer and carried. The result was
well received. The contest was simply
q question between three worthy, able
men, and the manner In which the
friends of each Loyalty supported their
fsVorite was highly complimentary to
each of them.
By a unanimous vote Mr.. Shesrer
was named for Presidential ElectOr
That the best of feeling prevailed Is
indicated by the following editorial ex.
tract from the Sslins Union, Mr..
Gaines paper:
"We have no kick coming. Our
friends stayed by US to the last, Our
canvass was clean and honorable. No
promises were made on our part. Now
that the fight is over, we assure Mr..
Vincent and his friends that If they
make as hard fight for his election as
we and our friends will make for him,
he will surely be elected"

The Populists of Marion county in.

Doster is one of the strongest and

Governor Morrill, has issued an order
that all property in the State House be
listed and that each officer be made
personally responsible for everything
in his charge. The Governor explains
that this is necessary because so much
property belonging to the State Is being
stolen. AS the Governor has per.
mitted this rsiding to 90 on for nine.
teen months, it Is probable that the
order is necessary to retain furniture
enough to operate the various offices.
Marion county Populists nominated
Dallas Rogers for Representative and
adopted the following among other
resolutions: "Recognizing In the per-
son Of Hon. Frank Doster q man of
Spotless character, jurist of eminent
ability and learning, brilliant orator,
profound philosopher, whose hostility

paid them twenty years ago, and the
silver pays their debts and purchases
their products as we'll as ever it did
But when their silver prices are expressed.
in terms Of gold, with silver only about
half its former value in gold, the price
OF the product is cut in half.
at is admitted that whenever we
come into competition with sellers Of
goods produced in those lands we must
accept the prices at which their goods
are sold. With the advantage already
mentioned they can sell at gold prices
below the cost of production in this
country, Cheap silver bullion in our
country and dear silver money in theirs
will make our competitors rich and our
selves poor. This cause has been for
years forcing down the price of wheat
and cotton, and now it is beginning TO
operate upon the price Of wool and
manufactured goods, Last year China
exported 20 this country about 100000
pounds of wool The exporters could
buy the wool in China at cents per
pound in silver, and with cents in gold
could buy the 9 cents in silver, thus
making the gold price Of the wool but
cents pound. AT this price it comes
into market to compete with our product.
So large a margin of profit will stimulate
production in China, and exports will be
increased until the enlarged supply brings
the price still lower and our wool grow
ers are driven out Of the business.
"These silver-using nations, notably
Japan and India, are, for the reasons
above indicated, able to put their manu-
factured goods in the markets of the
world at prices which defy competition.
Our tariff law may raise prices here but
cannot affect prices abroad. With our
home demand reduced by the hard times
and consequent lack OF purchasing
power, we look to foreign markets to take
our surplus. There, too, we find that
underconsumption has produced a
surplus, and when to this is added the
stock Of commodities produced in the
silver STANDARD countries which seek the
same markets, two causes cooperate TO
reduce prices. Competition cuts off the
last margin Of profit. II, then, by a
tariff we increase the cost Of those goods
which we now market abroad with little
or no profit, how shall we be able to
continue in the business at all? Clearly
we shall not be able to advance the SELL
ing price by an amount equal to the in
crease in cost. A tariff cannot increase
the price Of any article OF which we have
surplus to market abroad for the
foreign market price becomes also the
home price. Protection and the single
gold standard cannot be maintained to-
gether. The two policies are dismet-
ricslly oppOsed-the former means
high prices, the latter low prices.
"The natural and direct procedure
would be to deprive the silver standard
countries Of this bounty on their exports,
and then tariffs may be laid for revenue
or protection without danger that our
national industries may be ruined before
the proper rate Of duty Is determined.
