I-M'KINLEY A. P. A.
Resolutions Adopted Scoring the Ohio
Statesman.

Washington, May 2O-After the A.
p A. national council adjourned here
a meeting was held by delegates said
to represent 20 states and the follow
ing was adopted.
Whereas, The supreme council of
the a. p. a. Of the United States, by an
unanimous vote, adopted the report Of
the national advisory board, which re-
port Endorsed the action of the e1ecu-
tive committee Of said board, and in
plain language said that the executive
committee was justified in publishing
the political afhiliatiOn of Mckinley
with the Roman political hierarchy,
which afiiliatiOn is proven by the afh-
davits of reputable members of the or
der. and which afhdavits have never
been cOntroverted except by the un-
sworn statement of Major Mckinley
himself; and
Whereas. Major Mckinley did, on
May IA. 1895, TO a committee of the ma
tional advisory board in the city of
Canton, o.. stated he heartily approx
ed the principles of the A. p. A, and
on the following day gave an interview
to the press denying that he had met
such q committee, thus giving the lie
to the report of the committee, which
was composed of honorable and truth
full gentlemen; and,
Whereas The members of the SUI
pTeme council have, during its session,
been bounded and badgered by q large
and non-uembers OF the order, that
had used the most disreputable black
mailing methods to discredit the adj
vlsory board and turn the supreme
council into Mckinley ratification
meeting, and having signally failed to
clear Mckinley of the consequences Of
his pr0-papal political record today,
after two-thirds Of the delegates had
started for home, attempted to take
revenge by abOhshing the national adj
visory board, and accomplished the
same by a vote of 80 to 20.
Resolved, That the delegates, in
condemnation meeting assembled de-
nounce the unwarranted Interference
of the paid Mckinley lobby with the
affairs of the order. and denounce the
cOWardly denial by Mckinley of his
indOsement of the principles of the or
der. given to our committee and

ord as reported by the national advis-
selves to. by our influence and Efforts,

the committee gave no notice to the
country precincts Of the primary There
were no primaries held in the country,
and the great rain storm prevented the
attendance Of country Democrats. A
motion was made to adjourn the con-
vention to a future day. The fellows
who did not vote the ticket in 1894 voted
it down. The committe pretended to
follow the legal primary system I'm

tice. The only notice i'm the city even
was published only twenty-four hours
before the primaries in an obscure cor
ner of the journal, in obscure print, in
a late edition Of the paper, SO that few
would see lit. Thus the law was viO-

the honest Democratic voters by these
s
real Democrats were left in ignorance
of the fact of a primary and of the
time and place thereof while the heel
ers and strikers of "the gang" were
fully posted for more than week be-
forehand of the time and place of each
primary The result was no expression
whatever of the sentiments of the Dem
ocrats of Shawnee county. Very few
Democrats attended the primaries. The
major part of the ring vote was of
men who have not voted the Demo

MORRILL, MAKES Deal
BY Which He Expects to Secure
the WyandOtte Delegation.
Appoints a New Police Board at
Kansas City.
The New Commissioners Are Trickett
Men and of Course supper
ters of Jack Harris.

Desnf+e Gov. RForriIPs repeated dec
laration that he would make no change
in the police commissions of Kansas
city, Kan, and wichita, he has at last
changed the commission of the former
city.
There are two political reasons for
the change made by the governor One
of them is that he places the commits
sion in the hands of the Triclzett fac
ton in Wyandotte politics and helps
Jack Harris; and another is that he has
made a deal with Trickett for the Wy
andotte delegation in the state conven-
ton by his action.
For over a month, Mayor George J.
Twiss Of Kansas City. Kan, and sew
eral politicians from the city at the
mouth of the Kaw, have been running
necessarily to Topeka and telling the
governor about their troubles down
there. and asking for a change in the
commission which would permit the col
lection Of monthly fines from the joint
lists in order to stop the deficit in the
city treasury. Gov. Morrill, has stead
tasty refused to take any action till
yesterday, when he removed the old
commission, at the instlgation of c.
w. Trickett, the anti-Buchan leader,
and Mayor Twiss, appointing brand
new board

key. S. Mcconnell and Jacob Gress. The

which was carried to Lawrence Mr.
Mcconnell is also one OF the active
workers against Jack Harris election
in the county. Gress, the Democratic
member of the old board, is a fusiOnist
and trying to work the fusion racket as
against Harris in WyandOtte.
OF the new members. Clafin is a

andOtte county and Is we'll known as a
local politician. The Republican mem
bers are of the Trickett faith and will
vided they go into politics as their pre-
deceSsOrS did.
There win be both satisfaction and
dissatisfaction in Kansas City over the
change The Buchans are down on the
Tricketts, or any one who has any
thing to do with that faction. and no
matter If lines are collected and the city
finances in better condition, the Buchans
viii still fight the board on account Of
the supremacy Of the opposing faction
and the political deal in connection with
it,
Mr.. Trickett's main plea to the gov
ernor was that the city was running be-
mind about $4,000 per month in its ex-
penses ON account of the new ordinance
recently passed which could not be en-
forced. Erlctzett and those with him in
sisted that the only way to deal with
the joints in their city was to have q
system of monthly fine collections. and
II is likely that the new board will put

George Martin Says the County Must
Be Rescued From Trickett Control
There is a determined effort on the
part of the Buchan people in Wyan-
dotte county to defeat Jack Harris, the
nominee for congress in the Second dis
trict, if it can be done George Martin
editor of the Kansas City, kan, Ca
zette, is practically at the head of the
movement, acting under the supervis-.
ion, probably, of Billy Buchan. Mar
tin in his paper is moving heaven and
earth to beat Harris and is extremely
bitter in his denunciations of the anti
Buchan men, who made Harris nom
ination possible.
1t is not so much opposition to Har-
ris that is responsible for all this or
ganization in Wyandotte county to de-
feat the Republican nominee as it is

we are going to down him completely.
He has basely betrayed Buchan by tell
ing him he would support him and then
fighting him bitterly in the county con
vention and at Lawrence On account
of all this the Buchan sympathizers
viii never rest until they defeat not
only the man who was nominated, but
the man who nominated him, even
though the success Of the Republican
ticket is endangered thereby. We are

Trickett-Harris meeting held at the
armory in Kansas City, kan, last week.
Sub-clubs are now being organized all
over the county and the Buchan men
are pushing things all they can. Their
primary intention is to kill off Harris

majority for his opponent Of any

CHARLIE JOHNSON NOW.
An ingalls, Nan Nominated For State
Senator in the Fifth District

Contrary to the general expectation,
but agreeably to all. Charles +. John
son of OskaloOsa, was nominated yes
terday for state senator by the Repub-
leans of the Fifth senatorial district
The convention was held at Lawrence
and was a peaceful quiet affair, after
a few preliminaries. The Douglas del
egation composed of delegates selected
by the county central committee held
their seats, though the opponents of
this way of selecting delegates to a con-
yentiOn, wanted the nomination Of SEN
ator deferred to q later date on this ac-
count The effort failed, and Johnson
was nominated by reclamation
The convention passed no resolutions
upon the senatorial situation, but the
recent action of the Jefferson county
convention endorsing John J. ingalls,, is
thought to practically bind Johnson to
his support. Charles II. Johnson is
one of the leading politicians in the
First district. He is a lawyer and about
30 years of age. He has served as cOun
fy treasurer Of Jefferson county, was
elected state senator in 1883 and APP
pointed bank commissioner by Govern
or Humphrey in 1891. when that Office
was created. He was succeeded by
John BreidenthaI in 1893.
