sEATON-STANLEY COMBINE
Stanley to Become a Candidate for As
sociate Justice.

The number of candidates for office
among the Republicans is becoming so
large that combinations for the purpose
of killing some of them off are now be-
ginning to crop out here and there
The most important of these first eff
forts is credited to John SeatOn and W.
70. Stanley of Wichita. The politicians
have it that Seaton has secured the
support of the Stanley crowd with the
understanding that SeatOn will storm
the convention with his followers for
Stanley for associate justice of the SUI
preme court.
Geographically speaking such a com
bination as is proposed by Seaton and
Stanley would be feasible The north
east and the southwest parts of the
state would thereby unite in securing
two of the most important offices in
the convention. Such an arrangement
would aid both men and although they
pretend that no such an agreement has
been made, the evidence is very strong
and each seems to be doing his best to
conform to it's provisions.

A MODEL MAN.
What a Former Ardmore, I. T., Neigh
Dor Has to Say of Clyde Mattox.

Kansas City, Feb. 28-E. W. Wilson.
of the ArdmOre q. I'd Chronicle is in
the city. He has sent the following
correspondence to his paper:
Since coming here 1 have met Mrs.
Hatch and her son, Clyde Mattox. They
are living here very quietly, and l am
sure they are two as happy people as
could be found in Kansas City. They
We're glad to meet me, coming from
Ardmore They have many warm
friends here. Clyde has now been free
man a little more than a month. He is
broken in health, but says he is rapidly
regaining his former strength. OF him
1 can conscientiously say never met a
more pleasant gentleman. His mother
is a good woman, a perfect type of the
true American mother. She is venera-
BILE in appearance, not aged from the
weight of years. but from the trials and
anxieties through which she has been
called to pass in rescuing her son first
from the gallows and then from a life
sentence in the penitentiary.
Clyde neither drinks, smokes or
chews In fact, people here who have
watched him closely pronounce him a
model young man.

japan to the subtreasury at New York
Law in the Cedar Rapids postoffice from
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon until 1880
last night, when it was sent on its way
TO it's destination.
This gold should have been carried
east from Omaha over the Burlington,
but the Union Pacific train carrying it
arrived at Omaha late and the precious
load was placed on a Chicago & North
western train. This train had no reg
lister service between Cedar Rapids and
Chicago, and consequently it was nee
essary to unload and leave it until the
arrival of No. at night.
Postmaster Charles had the postofhce
guarded while it was here and kept the
matter as secret as possible.

This, accor ing TO the London

Chimes ground, would appear to
have been an erroneous view.
Japan is r'presentt d a. giving her

ing been treated with contempt.
Perhaps the japanese jingoes tx %
pected that after their country had
BEEN paid the indemnity, which is
accepted in lieu of the territory
coming to it by conquest, Great
Britain would for the protection
of British interests back Japan up
10 still holding on to the territory.
If they did 50, their eyes will now
have been opened. For Great
Britain to have done SO
would have amounted 10 sheer
defiance of Russia and her allies.
OF course, a. is stated, the British
deal with China is not regarded
favorabIy by Russia and Germany.
YET those powers can hardly make
ay quarrel 10 cons fence with
England for helping herself as
Trey helped themselves. With
the payment of the Indemnity to
