According to the following from a
Iankton correspondent it would seem a
reaction against the sentiment Of the
Huron convention is setting in among
republicans: A strong influence is at
work in a number Of counties in the
southern part of the state tending to the
selection of delegates to the Aberdeen
convention, who favor a free silver plank
in the state platform, and some Of those
counties that we're represented at the
Huron convention sound, money ad-
Aberdeen who will repudiste the work
Of that convention. Two of the guber-
Material candidates are likely to with
draw and become congressional candi.
dates. Another rumor is that a strong
combination has peer effected between
several candidates to corner the support
OF the northern part of the state at the
Aberdeen convention.

Editor Clough Of the Egan Express
and j. +. Kelley, populist candldat- for
Congress for two terms and editor OF the
tIandrau Herald, have been having a
political tilt for several issues OF their
papers IN which Clough appears to have
got the better Of Kelley as the latter lost
his temper and good manners and re-
sorted to personal abuse OF Clough and
then threw up the SPONGE" The l~atter's
dressing down Of Kelley for his un-
manly attitude, in the last issue of the
Express is a very CALLING piece of irony
for Mr.. Kelley.

Aberdeen Sentinel: A year ago seed
potatoes we're worth one dollar a bushel
and many Of the farmers we're trying to
see how many they could plant; but this
year seed is worth but little, therefore
they have no desire to plant them. We
understand that the acreage throughout
the west will undoubtedly be less than
half what it was last year. Dear seed
potatoes nine times out of ten assures an
over production and low prices, while
cheap seed means dear potatoes in the
fall. 1t is strange that farmers can't
learn this simple lesson, and plant their
regular acreage, regardless of what the
price may have been the year before.

IF ISSUE
The Assertion of Mr.. Heath, Who
Is Alleged to Speak For
Mckinley.
The Attempt Of Wall Street to
Run Things, He Says, Will
Not Work..
Governor Bradley Denies the
Report That He Had
Withdrawn.


ST.. LOUIS, June S.-As yet no leaders
who are to take part in the national
convention have arrived. City politi-
clans say that Marcus Hanna, the leader
Of the Mckinley forces, will reach here
next Tuesday. and that Thomas G.
Platt, in charge Of the Morton cam.
paign. will come two days later. ~
The Republic prints a lengthy inter
view with Mr.. Heath, in which hesgiyes
what purports to be MI. McKiniey's
position on the financial question. Mr..
Heath does not attempt to deny that the
Mckinley programme is to force the
tariff issue to the front in 1895.
wal street." said Mr.. Heath, 'has
attempted to run every national con-
vention held since I have known any
thing about national conventions. It
will try to run the Republican
ton this year, and 1t will, az usual, fail.
Major Mckinley is one Of those men
who does not believe his judgment
should be taken against the
Combined wisdom Of His Party.
Nobody has spoken for him authorita-
lively on the currency plank, and no.
body will be able to do 50, because he is
willing to trust the convention. and
stand by it's decision. The best tuog-
ment Of the whole party must prevail in
this matter.
There are not to exceed four states
which will insist on an unequivoca1 dec
laration for a gold standard. These
states are: New York, Maine, Massa.
chusetts and probably New Jersey. In
the same way there are about q half
dozen silver states which will demand
a IL to 1 declaration. In a great ma
jority of states the one issue in the cam
paign is protection. You cannot talk
currency to Republicans in Ohio, Indi.
ana or Illinois. Whatever the Republi.
IAN convention adopts as its platform
will be the Mckinley platform"
Says Plat Is Preparing . Coup.
Having disposed of the Mckinley cur
rency attitude, Mr.. Heath, at the re.
quest Of the reporter, addressed himself
for a few moments to Thomas @. Platt
with the following result
kind Of a coup. lam informed Il is TO
be sprung either before the national
committee or on the floor Of the conyen-
ton. He has served notice repeatedly
during the past few days that he would
not give up his fight until the nomina-
ton was announced, and there was no
longer any opportunity to enter his pro-
test against the Ohio candidate. Just
what he intends to do is not clearly
manifest at this time, but I have letters
from at least one member Of the
national committee to whom Mr..
Platt has written, in which one
of his moves is named. He intends, if
possible. to control the preliminary roll
in the convention and to use the ad-
vantage he might obtain by that success
against Mckinley"

NEW YORK, June 8. - Bradstreets
says: General trade continues de-
pressed in almost all lines. Demand is
smaller than a week ago, and request
for and offerings of commercial paper
have decreased. Mercantile collections
continue complained of, and the ten
dency OF prices, particularly of cereals,
sugar, coffee, pork products, cotton and
cotton goods and iron and steel contin-
ues downward. There was a moderate
increase in demand for dry goods at
Chicago. but business is generally dis
appointing. The check to trade at st.
Louis is in a measure due to the delay
In distribution of goods by reason Of the
late cyclone. Unreasonable weather
has interfered with trade in the terri
tory tributary to Kansas City. Eastern
advices are that wool is dull and weak
as ever, with large stocks carried over
and light demand for new clip.

Fire at BROOKLYN.

Rodr ~ Blake's barn at Flye's Point,
Brooklin, was struck by lightning and
burned to the ground with its entire
contents, including a horse, COW, several
tons of hay and complete stock of
haying and farming tools and harnesses,
Thursday night.
Fortunately the wind blew directly
away from the other buildings, and by
hard work they We're saved, though the
nearest was but few feet from the burn
ing building. Had the wind been in the
opposite direction, it is doubtful if any OF
the buildings could have been saved.
Mr.. Blake's stock of farming tools was
unusually complete and the loss of these
is very heavy. Besides his own tools
there were two new moving machines in
the barn, for which he was agent. There
was a small Insurance on the barn but it
will not nearly cover the loss.

by Judge }. W. Symonds, of Pc -tland,
and }. a. Peters jr., of Ellsworth
The litigation grew out of he erection of
Major Wheeler's summer residence in Bar
llarbor, which, being built by Mr.. Mears,
was done so at price which, according
to the claim Of the defendant in the suit
which followed, Was not in accordance
with the estimates. A refusal to pay the
bill was thus followed by the action at
law with Mr. Mears as plaintiff, suing for
the unpaid balance in dispute.
