JEFFERSON CrTY, Mo-, Sept. TO-
The Secretary of State to-day refused
to file either of the Populist state tick
cts, which have been presented to him,
on the grounds that he has no authori-
ty to make a judicial investigation TO
decide which is the legal party, and
which is entitled to have its certificate
placed on the official ballot.
I'M letter to-day to Frank E. Richie,
of st. Louis, the Secretary of the
middle Convention, and

of the Populist Convention, he says:
"One or the other of these certii-
Gates is entitled to be filed, but which,
can only be determined by inquiry I'M
der oath--a Judicial Investigation. The
law nowhere invests the Secretary of
State with powers necessary to prop
erly carry on such an investigation,
necessitatiAg &c it would, the sum-
moning of witnesses, administering
osths, etc.
"It is impossible, under the circum-
stances which now exist, for me legal
ly to know which one of these certifi-
Gates should rightly be fled. In order
to ascertain this fact a judicial investi-
cation is necessary, and /, therefore,
decline to file either paper, in order
that such a judicial investigation may
be made"
