house they all went into Secretary
BriStOw's room in the executive office
from which reporters were vigorously
excluded and speeches were made by
Burton, Baker, Peters, Troutman,
Curtis, Harris, Ellis, Long and others.
The purpose and effort of the meeting
was to try and bring all the candi-
dates for Office together on the gold
plank of the st. Louis platform. As
Senator Baker expressed it: 1T will
never do for one kind Of a financial
plank to be preached in one district
and a different me in another. Ow-
ing to the fact that some Of the can.
didates would do nothing but stand
pat on the platforms On which they
were nominated as related In the
opening Of this article, the object of
the meeting cannot be said 80 haveac-
complished.
After the meeting adjourned theex.
ecutive committee held a session
which lasted till l O'Clock this morn.
ing. At this meeting it was decided
to go to work at once to organize the
party thoroughly throughout the
state so that each ward and school
district shall have Its organization.
But the failure of the party mana.
gers to force all their candidates onto
the st. Louis platform, has produced
a certain degree Of bitterness in the
ranks which bodies i'll for the whip-
persin for gold.
There isn't the slightest doubt that
the first work given by Cy Leland to
do in Kansas by his master, Marc
Hanna is to force Republican con.
gressmen to get on the gold plank.
1t remains to be seen what punish
ment is in store for Charles Curtis
and A. H. Ellis.

Whether in the form Of pill powder

blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow

The suppleness and elasticity of the

gradually bends, the bones ache, while

The nottingham wants TO buy his
breadstuffs, meat, poultry, eggs, vegeta-
bles and the like at the very lowest price
he can get. His wages are fixed. The
only question with him is how much bis
wages will buy.-N. Y. World.
In country where farming claims
nearly 1900, 900 of the $4,000, 900 return
ed as employed-vide the census OF 1890
no department Of labor, crude. skilled
or professional. can proclaim independ.
ence of the farmers condition. The
farm, and the products of the farm, are
structure, and when the farmer cannot
get for his wheat, corn, potatoes, meat,
eggs and poultry prices that more than
return him the cost OF production, he
had no money left to pay the interest on
his mortgage, to pay taxes at the county
seat, to support churches and newspa-
pers, to send his children to school, to
buy new machinery for the farm, to pay
fares on the railroad, to visit the town.
or to settle his balance at the crossroads
store. Multiply the condition of this
farmer-who is 80 per cent. OF all labor
employed in the country, including min
ers, lawyers, doctors and clerks-and
then calculate il you can where the
wages will come for 81 per cent. II the
crossroads grocer fails to collect his ac-
counts from the farmer he must put off
