Text OF the Silver Resolutions That
Were Voted Down.

Smithfield, N. c., Aug. 25.-~( Special)
The following is the full text OF the
resolution which was almost unani-
mously tabled by the Populist convcn-
ton here last Saturday:
''Nhereas. The Populist party of
the United States and North Carolina
in their conventions assembled, have
formulated platforms demanding Ger
tain laws to be enacted which would
materially benefit the whole people.
and especially the laboring class, and
that the financial question being the
most agitated one before the American
people, said platforms contained
strong planks advocating the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver at the ratio
OF 10 To- /; and
"Mhereas, as the convention at St.
Louis nominated candidates who are in
full accord and sympathy with said
platforms; therefore, he IL
Resolved, that the Populist party of
Johnston county, in convention assem-"
bled, vote for no other candidates. for
President and Nicc~rreaident except
those who advocate free silver attic "a
lin other words, the Populist votes
of this county shall not be east Cor the
Mckinley electors at the polla in No
yember."
This resoluaion was introduced by
Wiley Hood, Populist OF Wilder's
township. After short discussions it
was rejected almost unanimously.
There. were not over fifty Populists
present at the convention.
The men put in the field by the Pop
ulists are weak, and If they finish the
ticket with such men as have already
been named, it will be beaten by 1880
majority. Neither Republicans nor
PopuliSts are satisfied.

HALLoWELL ON STATE POLITICS.
Thinks Boss Leland Is Going to Win in
the Present Fight.

Thinks Boss LELAND Is Going to Win in
the Present Fight.
Col. J. r. HalIowell of Wichita, who
was defeated for congress in the Seventh
district by jerry Simpson a few years
ago, has been interviewed on the politi-
cal situation. Col. Hallowell thinks Cy
Leland will win in the present fight and
he says the opposition to him amounts
to nothing.
Among other things, Col. Hallowell
said:
"We are very liable to have a surprise
when the state convention meets and
comes to naming a governor. 1t seems
to be conceded that Morrill, will get the
nomination for governor, but that is just
where we are liable to be surprised,
THE leaders in the Republican party
have nothing against Morrill, personally
but there is growing feeling that he is
a weak candidate and might endanger
the whole ticket.
1.-The mon who will come to tbs con-
vention for the other positions on the
state ticket will naturally want strong
man at the head of the ticket AID that
will cause them to favor some other can
didate than Morrill, 1t would not sur
prise me if the convention would select
some man like Tom Potter of Peabody
for the Ehead of the state ticket He
would be great deal stronger than Nor
rill.
"There has been a good deal satd
about Troutman. but he would be a
stronger man than Morrill,, for the reason
that he has the confidence of every pro-
hibitionist in the state, while Morrill,
seems to have succeeded in pleasing no.
body except the men who hold appoint
ments under him.
"Chet Long will be renominated for
congress with hands down, but that does
not signify that he will have a walk
away in the election. The silver SEN
time Mt is not dead in Kansas by a good
deal. Yet the people prefer him
to Jerry Simpson in case he is renom-
mated by the opposition as a good many
Democrats do no. take stock in Jerry's
straw hat, and 1 really believe thut

Construction Work on Western Rail-

miscellaneous Items Along the Lines
Personal and Other Notes.
Construction work is practically at
standstill on all western railroad lines at
the present time, and will continue SO
until the opening of spring. The bridge
and building forces were reduced some
time ago, and with the exception of re-
pair work and the completion of the con-
tracts undertaken in the fall little, if any,
work is being done.
This work will probably again be re-
sumed in the course of a month, and the
indications are that considerable
amount'of construction will take place
on the majority of the western lines.
The engineering department of the
Santa Fe some time ago prepared esti-
mates of the amount of work to be done
them to President Ripley. So far
he has not passed upon them,
and nothing definite is known con-
corning the work which will be ordered.
1t is probable that Mr.. Ripley will prac-
tice economy in this work, as he has in
all other lines and will order only such
construction as is absolutely necessary.
The maintenance and construction de-
partment of the Rock Island are now
considering estimates of the work
to be done this year, and have
already decided on five large bridge
contracts. These bridges are to be
heavy iron span with solid masonry sub
structure. One will be located a few
miles out of Omaha on the main line
across. Papilllon creek. Two will be
built across Beaver Creek several miles
apart on the main line west of Smith
Center. The remaining two will be To-
Gated on the main line between Smith
Center and Lebanon.

SEVEN BIG COUNTIES
That Can Not He Carried for the Republi-
can Ticket With Morrill,.


The earnest thinking Republicans of
Kansas who have the welfare of the party
at heart are every day becoming stronger
in their belief that Governor Morrill,
should not be renominated.
These Republicans are anxious that
their party shall select a candidate for
governor who can make a winning fight
at the polls next November and they do
not believe Governor Morrill, can lead a
successful campaign.
An indication of the feeling which is
now general all over the state is given in
letter published in yesterdays Hutch
inson News.
This letter, which was written by man
who has been carefully studying the
situation is as follows:
EDITOR News: In the last two weeks
l have visited six or eight counties and
have talked with many Repu blicans re-
garding the denomination of Governor
Morrill,, and 1 find fully 80 per cent of
them opposed to his denomination. They
believe that if he is renominated he will
go down at the polls in ignominious de-
feat, besides endangering the election of
the balance of the state ticket. Now is
the time to discuss this matter, and If
possible to get the candid opinions of
Republicans on this question.
There is no earthly chance for the sue
cess of the Republican ticket wit Nor
rill as leader in Reno. Rice, Sedgewick.
Wyandotte, Douglas, Atchison anc
Leavenworth counties, and there is con-
siderable doubt about his being able to
carry Shawnee, johnson and jefferson
counties.
l learn from several who attended the
meeting of the Kansas Day club that
there is great dissatisfaction and opposi-
ton to his denomination all over the
state.

in the Amusement Line.

in the Amusement line.
"Sinbad" played in Topeka for 81 80
each time it has been here this season,
but in Wichita the following night the
price was only 81. 1t is difficult to see
why Topeka should be Disseminated
against in this manner.
Last evenings Wichita Beacon says;
"a abort time ago Wichita was held up
for 15O to see 'Sinbad.' Tonight Sin
bad appears again in Wichita and this
time at 81. Within sixty days Wichita
will probably have an opportunity to see
'5inbad' for so cents
The reason that $3.50 is charged in
Topeka so much more frequently than
in other towns is because the opera house
management believes that more tickets
can be sold at advanced than at regular
prices. In other words, it thinks the
people of Topeka Judge OF the merits Of
an entertainment by the price they have
to pay, as if they didn't know for them
selves whether play is good or not. Il
is this mistaken notion that the people of
Topeka are all rural and unin-
formed that has afflicted the present
management of the opera houses here.
1t ia never taken into consideration that
from 5000 to 5000 of the people in To-
peka visit Chicago or New York every
year, that they see plays that neither the
manager nor the attaches of the opera
houses ia Topeka ever see at ell, and
that these 5000 Topeka people actually
know more about the merit of theatrical
attractions than the present manage
ment of the opera houses does.
Topeka's situation just now is that
she has a large number of high class.
cultured theater goers who know what
is what, and the present purveyors of
Amusement are not in touch with their
patrons in judgment and taste. 1t takes

ager to suit Topeka people. This town
is not inhabited by plugs, and will never
accustom itself to plug methods

NIr. RipleY GOING 60 New York.

lIPresident E. P. Ripley of the Santa
Fe will leave Chicago Sunday morning
for New York city, where he will attend
the regular monthly meeting of the
board of directors of the road. It is
probable that the question of
the selection of a successor to W.
K. Gillette as general auditor, will not
be brought up at this meeting, as it is
the general belief that a selection will
not be made for some time. This belief
is strengthened by the fact that Presi-
dent Ripley stated yesterday that in all
probability nothing would be done with
the matter until shortly before mir. Gill

considered too high by President Ripley,
