MCKINLEY q HOBART.

Mckinley of Ohio was nominated
for president on Thursday evening
of this week by the Republicans in
national convention assembled at
st. Louis, and Hobart of New Jersey
was chosen for vice president. A
strong gold platform was adopted
and silver found no place in it,
being utterly ignored.
Republicans in this section are
very sore and many of them have
declared their intention of support.
ing a silver man in the event one is
nominated, and there surely will be.
Six weeks ago the Republican
party had 'lead pipe cinch" on
the presidency, but by it's gold
declarations it stands an excellent
chance to lose.
The chances are very favorable
for the Democrats and Populists to
unite on free silver man. Should
they do this there will be battle
royal.

AN ANTE-ELEcTION PREDICTION.

Following is communication
from Z. w. Daniels, an old-time
Republican, and to say that 1t will
meet the approval and endorse
ment of big majority of the
Republicans in this section of the
country would be putting 1t very
mildly indeed:
BAXTER SPRINGS, June IS, 1896.
EDITORS NEWS: wish to make
a prediction based on the action of
the St. Louis goldbug convention.
In order to be elected Mckinley
will have to carry all the states east
of the Mississippi and north of the
Ohio river and one or two of the
states west of the Mississippi.
Does any sane man believe he can
carry western or southern state
on single gold standard platform?
All depends now on what the DEM
ocrats and Populists do. If they
unite on Teller. Boies or Bland,
McKinley's name will be mud"
We Republicans can only hope the
Democrats ahd Pops will make
asses of themselves (which they
usually do) and put two candidates
in the field.
Seventeen of the lickspittle,
flunky Kansas delegates went into
, the convention in favor of free
silver, but that arrogant party boss
Cy. Leland put them into the gold
bug line and they worked to
charm. But the day has gone by
when party bosses can control the
Kansas vote. Nine.tenths of the
Kansas voters are in favor of free
coinage, and SO Mr.. Leland and the
whole outfit will find out in Novem-
ber.
If the party bosses at St. Louis
had shown little magnanimity or
political horse sense, Mr.. Mckinley
would have carried every northern
state by an overwhelming majority.
Now, should Senator Teller be nom-
mated at the Chicago convention
and be endorsed by the Pops, he
will carry Indiana, Illonois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and every state
south of the Ohio and west of the
Mississippi, giving him over $50
votes in the electoral college. We
may elect the state and county
tickets in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa
and Minnesota, but it looks to me
as If the Republican party, in sell
ing out TO Wall street and trying 10
put collar of iron on the great
West, has committed suicide.
Mark the prediction and await
results. c. W. DANIELS.

coach to see that all were seated
and made comfortable. Each pas
senger was provided with coupol
ticket which entitled him to trans
portation from the depot at Baxter
to the picnic grounds and return. T
A committee had been over and
arranged all plans for the gather
ing at that place. Ample vehicles
were secured to transport the pic
nicers TO and from the depot. A
committee of Baxter citizens also
assisted in the arrangements The

MIAMI'S HOPE.

Work on the extension of the
Memphis railroad from Baxter
Springs to Miami is progressing
rapidly and we believe that by
July 1st the grading will be COM
pleted 20 the latter town.
The Miami Town Company and
owners of property there have
great hopes that the advent of the
railroad will be of great benefit to
the town and bring boom or
steady growth to the town.
Several buildings have been put
up in Miami during the last twelve
months, some of which would be a
credit TO towns several times as
large. The most noted of these
buildings is the bank building,
which is large two-story stone
affair with handso me- pressed brick
trimmings, and the building of DIR.
w. L. McWilliams. The McWilliams
building is about ninety feet in
depth, two stories in height and
has frontage of fifty feet.
What to us seems of most advan-
tage 10 Miami is the stone quarries
of Doty & Ginter. These gentlemen
have opened quarries of the best
bnilding and flag stone in the
West, the famous Carthage stone
not excepted.
The Memphis road, which is
being extended to Miami, has COM
pleted a survey across the Neosho
river southwest of Miami. and il is
believed the Arkansas and North
western road, which is being built
from BcntonviIle. Ark, northwest
via Southwest City, will meet the
Memphis at the Neosho river
bridge. If this is the case, Baxter
Springs will then have an outlet to
the lumber regions of Arkansas,
and ultimately closer connection
with the coming deep water har-
bors of the United States on the
Gulf of Mexico. Let 'er build.

Bill Vests death will cost Sheriff
Kepley 800. Although the offer OF
n reward did not specify dead or
alive, the sheriff proposes to pay
up, as he is entirely satisfied with
the outcome of the matter.
Mr.. Kepley received letter Tues
day from United States Marshal
S. NJ. Rutherford inquiring whether
the reward would be paid. He
stated he wanted the information
for his deputy, John Brown, who
did the killing.
The money will be paid as soon
as satisfactory proof is presented.
The reward offered by the govern
ment. however, is declared of. as
federal official is the person who
would receive ii.
by this letter, il appears that Bill
West was killed on the place of
Perry West, a cousin with whom he
had always been intimate. When
killed Bill carried a wound received
in making his escape.-Topeka
