TO DEFEAT BILLY sTERNE.
A Plot for That Purpose is Said to
Exist

Politicians claim that the designations
of Pension Agent Click and United
States Attorney Perry was a part of a
political deal to defeat w. E. Sterne
for United States marshal. The powers
that be at Washington are charged
with putting up the job, and it is said
that the Kansas politicians at Wash
ington, headed by Leland, are making
every effort to prevent the confirmation
of Mr.. Sterne.
When Billy Sterne is defeated for this
place the power of United States SEN
ator Baker will be broken. AS there is
no probability of any such condition
arising, it is safe to presume that Mr..
Sterne will get the place and be con-
firmed.
He is Senator Bakers personal friend
for whom Mr.. Baker would not hesitate
to destroy Leland's influence and polit-
ical prestige.
The senator has been given this pow
er by Mckinley, and if the president
goes back on his agreement. Mr.. Baker
is very likely to make the situation de-
cidedly interesting for both him and
Leland.
Mr. Sterne is not worried by the
fight and believes it will not amount to
much. He has heard of it, but declines
to enter into any extended discussion of
the merits of the case.

TWO CARNIVALS
Will Be Held in the West This Fall
Brady and Stuart Rivals.

New York, July 24.-The Evening
World says:
From all accounts, there will be two
pugiliStic carnivals in the west this
fal. w. A. Brady and Dan Stuart
are both figuring hard on the project
but instead of being partners in one big
scheme, as many had supposed, it now
looks as they will try to rival each 9TH
er. This will furnish some tall bids for
the principal matches, but Brady is
thought to have the better chance of
securing them.
He is McCoy's manager and because
of that is believed, he will get the Nc
Coy-Creedon fight. The Maher-Shark-
ey contest however, he is not sure of
Brady has offered a $4,000 purse but
Buck Connolly of the Maher contingent
says no one has a claim on MaherS s
services and the match will go to the
highest bidder. The Lavigne-McPer
land ''go" which is looked upon as one
of the attractions will probably go
where the biggest purse is, while the
fight between George Dixon and Jack
MCGOWAN of Australia, which will be
an interesting affair, looked like a Bra
dy match.
Brady is very anxious to secure this
contest and will offer a big inducement
The carnival from present indications
will be held in Carson and Reno inSep-
tember and October. It is expected
that the expense of each carnival, which
will last week at least, will be about
$40, 900.

OHIO POLITICS.
Ex- Governor Campbell Says Gold
Democrats Cannot Save Re-
publican Ticket

New York. July 4.-Ex-Governor
Campbell of Ohio, who is at the Fifth
Avenue hotel does not think the Ma
tiona1 (goId) Democrats will hold the
balance of power in that state. He
had no criticism to- make concerning
the recent meeting of the executive
committee of that party held in this
city.
''There are influential gold standard
Democrats in Ohio,' he said, but do
not think they are strong enough to
change the results next November. In
the last election many of the single
standard Democrats voted for Bryan.
My opinion is that nothing but bad
methods or egregious mistakes can lose
| the state to the Republicans next fall.
The drift is in favor of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Chapman, the regular
nominee of the Democratic party will
| be elected. The force of gravity, the
momentum of popular sentiment, will
carry the state for the silver Demo-
Gratis. do not think the single stand
ard Democrats can change the tide and
effect a different result
Ex-Governor Samuel Houser of Mon
tana is a free silver Democrat and a
personal friend of Mr.. Cleveland. When
questioned about the strength of the
gold Democrats in his state, he replied:
They have no strength and no organ
izatiOn in Montana. But we are not
interested in the political game at pres
ent. The tariff measure is claiming our
attention. Personally, 1 am opposed to
the Dingley bill, because l do not be-
lieve in a high tariff But if the rich
east is to be protected, 1 say let the
west derive some benefit from the tar
iff.
"wool is protected, and that will
please our sheep raisers. It is one of
! our greatest products, and now the in
duStry will revive. We are pleased to
know we can carry on the beet sugar
| industry. 1 think Montana will sbe-
come a great beet raising state. We
shall produce sugar for the country,

also of all forms of wasting disease. ALL
1neuts of this description may not only be

An unfailing cure for all diseases that

cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consump-

facts. Druggists who suggest substitutes

EDWARDS FOR GOVERNOR.
Ex-Secretary of State is Being Put
Forward for Governor in the
SeUenth.

w. G. Edwards, who was secretary
of state under the Morrill, administra-
tion is being doomed as a candidate
for governor by some of the Seventh
district Republicans.
The Larned Eagle-Optic has brought
MIR. Edwards out for the place, but it is
not likely that he will consent to the
use of his name in that connection.
Should Mr.. Edwards re-enter the field
of politics he will be a candidate for
secretary of state. He does not incline
to the office of governor, but the posi-
ton of secretary of state just fits him,
he thinks, and it is probable that he will
go before the next state convention
seeking the honor of a denomination.
However, the bosses are making up
another slate and the name of Mr.. Ed
wards does not appear.
Geo. A. Clark of Junction City and
Frank Brown of Anderson county are
the two candidates who are now being
pushed, and so far as has been report
ed they are the only ones in the race at
this time.
A Republican politician in discussing
the situation a few days ago, observ-
ed:
These two men will not be in it. They
are the representatives of the bosses
and the bosses will be turned down in
the next campaign

j. NJ. Senter, Clerk of the Rail-

The only Populist candidate for con-
gress in the First district is J. M. Sem
ter of Topeka Mr.. Senter is at pres
ent clerk in the office of the state board
of railroad commissioners, a position
which he occupied under the Lewelling
administration.
Mr.. Senter is one of the best cam
paigners in the Populist party. He is
annually called upon to go out and
carry the banner, but is not permitted
to appeal to the Populistic counties. He
is sent into the Republican strongholds
because of his peculiar ability in cam
paigning. He spent the last campaign
in the eastern part of the state and did
effective work. He takes a philosophi-
cal view of the proposition, and thinks
that if he goes into each campaign he
might just as we'll run for office.

Pardons Refus ed.

The state board of pardons yesterday
afternoon listened for three hours to the
presentation of an application for the
pardon of Henry Tutwiler by John D.
Milliken of Mcpherson. Tutwiler was
sentenced to hang for the murder of
James Hall in 1885. The murder was
committed for the purpose of robbery.
The board will not pass upon the case
a the present sitting. The board today
refused to grant a pardon to Levi Moore
of Cherokee county, serving six years
for larceny and for Frank Palm of OS-
borne county, sentenced for four years
for grand larceny.
