NO FAITH IN BRYAN.
One Populist Who is Opposed to Him
in 1900.

Mrs. Annie l. Diggs in a recent utter
ance, stated that the action of the
Chicago convention in nominating Bry-
an Tor president in 1896 was a wise
and patriotic move. To this statement
,. A Black, Manhattan PopuIist,
takes exceptions and says:
L believe that the action of the Chi
cago convention was governed largely
by the desire to absorb the Populist
party in the campaign of 1896 and final
~ to wipe 1t out of existence. Although
1 voted for Mr.. Bryan, 1 did it because
we were trapped and could not under
the then existing circumstances do any
better, but I have no faith in Mr.. Bry-
an now at all If he is the noble high
minded, patriotic man that Mrs. Diggs
thinks he is,why is he so earnestly can
VaSsing Iowa in the interest of a state
ticket that has on it one national bank
er ana one aVOWed gold bug2 I have
no faith whatever in Mr. Bryan or the
Democratic party. I am not so infat-
uated with their leaders. as to say. with
Mrs. Digs, that 1 believe in them as
much as any POpuliSt living. I do not
think the Democrats sincere in their
professions in regard to free silver Look
at their record in the last ten years
Eleven silver bills killed by them in
congress, and even since the election
last fall five Democratic legislatures
have gone back on the free silver ques-
ton. 1 do not think like Mrs. Diggs in
regard to the people gaining a great
victory last fall have not forgotten
how the Greenback party was used up
by just the same process that is being
worked on the POpulist party at this
time.
Mrs. Diggs admits that on account
of her Republican origin she would have
been better pleased to have had Senator
Teller for a leader and to have had the
word Republican inscribed on the ban
ner. What will she say now after read
ing the following from the Colorado rep
resentatiVe:
Henry NJ. Teller has surrendered
and advises his friends to join him in
supporting the gold bug ticket in the
coming state election
Mr.. Bryan says in his letter to the
Tammany leaders of New York:
:" A triumph of the Democracy of
Greater New York will have the same
moral effect as a renewed and affirmed
triumph of the agencies led by Senator
Hanna 1t may be possible that by
1900 Mrs Diggs Democratic and Re
publican idols will be laid in the dust
politically and she may then have
some faith in a good old fashioned
POpulist.'

STANDS By SENATOR BAKER.
Another Strong Republican Newspa-
per Opposed to Lelandism.

The Lawrence Daily Journal says ed
itorially:
For some time there have been rumors
of a clash between Senator Baker and
Cyrus Leland. OF course many OF the
stories have been of a sensational ma
tuTe, and little independence could be
put in them. There IS reason to be-
HeVe now, however, that a direct con-
fict between them may not be averted.
This is to be regretted, for it can but
cause more or less discord in the Re
publican ranks, and may bring serious
results in the campaign next year. The
party is in condition for internal dis
sensions, and it will take but little trou-
bic in the party to make the election of
the Republican ticket next year impOS-
sible. At the same time, however, if
the question arises as to who shall con-
troll the patronage of Kansas, it should
be settled and settled quickly. The
Republicans have chosen Senator Ba-
ker to represent them in Washington,
and a part of his duties is to choose
suitable men for federal offices. That
IS as much his duty as it is the duty of
President Mckinley to make the APP
pointments- The man who undertakes
to rob him of his prerogative should
not be sustained for moment by the
Republicans of Kansas. If the contest
is forced, it should be of short duration.
1t will be the duty of every Republican
to stand by Senator Baker.
The contest, it appears, arose from the
objections made to the appointment of
Senator Sterne for United States mar
shall. In making his selections, Sen
ator Baker acted with rare judgment
and all agreed that when he divided the
officers among the various factions. he
not only proved himself a man of wis
dom and sagacity, but showed that he
could rise above personal feeling and do
that which he thought was for the best
interests of the party. In his recon-
mendatiOn of Senator Sterne he had
the endorsement of the Republicans of
the state. He should, and no doubt
viii, insist upon the appointment, and
it i'll becomes any man to rob him of
his right, particularly when that man
is holding an office for which he was
recommended by Mr. Baker
1t may be that some time in the fu-
ture the people of Kansas will send
some other man to represent them at
Washington, but he will not go so long
as Senator Baker works for the inter-
ests OF Kansas and the Republican par
ty as he has worked in the past The
rank and file of the party is more than
satisfied with what he has done, and
theywil be with him when he stande be-
fore the President and insists upon re-
tanning the rights that have been dele
gated to him by the Republicans of
Kansas.

RIDDLES FIGURES REFUrED
Frank L Brown Declares That 70
Kansas Counties Are Republican.

Frank L. Brown of the Republican
state committee today gave out the
following statement:
From reliable reports received from
every county in the state we are con-
WINGED that the vote next Tuesday Will
show that Kansas is again Republican.
The gains will be largely in the agri-
cultural communities, in the mining
districts and where skilled labor is en-
ployed.
Last year but SO counties in the
state gave a majority for Mckinley w e
will elect the Republican ticket in more
than 20 counties. The legislature at its
last session re-appOrtiOned the state in
judicial districts; there are - Judges to
elect, seven of whom are now Repub-
leans Since the districts have been
changed but three out of the 13 gave a
majority for Mckinley last year Not
withstanding this we will elect seven OF
the judges, with a good fighting chance
for four more. One or two of the seven
will be elected in districts that gave a
very large opposition majority last
year.
position controls every election board
in the state; this is manifestly unfair,
as there are but two parties IN the
state-Republican and anti-RepublIcan;
yet the opposition divides up into par
ties for the purpose of controlling cleo
ton boards and thus better enable them
to secure spOils.
with the election machinery in the
hands of the enemy, Republicans should
be vigiIant to prevent fraud. The IN
usual heavy registration in the cities
where the Populists control the police
boards and election commissioner, is
accounted for by well authenticated re-
ports that the registration has been
padded in the interests of the POpulists.
In the cities especially, the Republic
cans should appoint challengers, who
know their precincts, and will see to it
that the evident intention of the OppO-
sition to steal the election is thwarted.

IT'S A FINE COUNTRY.
Mayor Fellows Pleased With the Ma
turaI Advantages Around In
Dependence, Kan

Mayor Fellows returned last evening
from Independence, Kan, where he sub
mitted a bid for the new high school
building. He says that he did not md
out before he left for home whether or
not he had been successful. +
Mayor Fellows is greatly pleased with
Independence and he would be greatly
pleased if Topeka had as many natural
advantages. He said: They have gas
and oil wells there and there is never any
trouble about the gas rates. They have
fine stone quarries and when a merchant
needs a sidewalk in front of his place
of business he goes out and digs one
stone which covers the whole space. That
is the way to build sidewalks

To the Editor of The State Journal
The Capital yesterday morning en-

In some form or other have been a

Along those lines where state legiSla-

THE FASHIONABLE COLOR.

The prevailing fashion this winter is
for black dresses and jackets. and this
is a blessing to the woman who wishes
to look we'll, but has not the money to
buy new clothing. Even an inexperi-
enced person can, by using the Dia
mond Dye fast blacks, color their old
clothes black that will not crock, fade,
or wash out. There are three special
Diamond Dye fast blacks, for wool for
cotton and mixed goods, and for silk
and feathers, and if the proper dye is
used, any woman can getebetter results
than the experienced dyer could a few
years ago.
Unlike some of the cheap limitations
of Diamond Dyes, these dyes come in
almost every conceivable color, so that
the woman who wishes any special
color can get it in the Diamond Dyes.
Practical tests prove that the fast Dia-
mond Dyes are the only dyestuffs that
make colors which soap will not wash
out nor sunlight fade.

NO BLOSSOM HOUSE Boss.
Another Strong Republican Paper
Warns Cyrus Leland

The Clay Center Times says: There
seems to be grave danger of a bitter
and relentless political war between Cy
Leland and Senator Baker. The rank
and file of Republicans throughout the
state will be with the senator as the
present articles of war are understood
He is the natural party leader, no ser
ious thought ever having been given to
the idea of deIegating that honor to
Mr.. Leland who is simply a we'll paid
high private. Next year the conven-
ton, and it alone. must nominate the
men to be supported for state offices;
they must not be named surreptitiously
by the little gang of bosses and sub
bosses, who meet all too frequently in
Missouri. and as the rural Republican
understands the situation, Senator
Baker is in sympathy with him on this
The rural rooster is going to be heard
from all along the line and his duty is
not to simply ratify- If there is no
mistake in the sentiment as expressed,
he is also going to help Senator Baker
stand by his previously announced pref
erences and help the gentleman to car
ry out his honorable party plans in the
future This is not treason, it is party
patriotism and horse sense.

one appreciates the reason for the re-
moval of hats in theaters, but 1 don't
believe there is any necessity for la

Miss Jane Nye-That is a good thing
No woman has a right to Obstruct peo-

off for her.

don't want to be made to do it 1t is

bic to take it off at the theater.
Miss Theresa RossingtOn-It is one of
