George NJ. Munger is taking an active
part In the campaign and is having very
successful meetings. He is mainly talk
ing on the State stock yards plank, and
puts forth some unanswerable argu-
ments for that and for a constitutional
convention. At a recent meeting he
said:
There Is a combination which con-
trolls the price we get for our stock at
all the great markets The stock yards
company, the railroads, the packing
houses, the commission men and the
spectators are all parts Of this combi-
nation.

ton. I had shipped some fine cattle and

1t. I shipped them to Chicago and had
to take $2.75. l had no alternative but
to take my medicine. I had opposed the
packing house combination. A few years
ago there were butchers in every town
who killed their own stock. Now they
only sell meat shipped to them from the
packing houses. In the cities there are
butchers who would like to kill their
own stock. They can't buy, because the
stock yards companies will not let them
I'VE have proposed State stock yards,
owned by the people of Kansas and man
aged in their interest. 1t is the only
remedy. 1t is the only way we can break
this combine. You say the packers will
not buy at State stock yards. The butch
ers will be very glad to buy there. They
will furnish our first patrons There is

that his capital or what he has to start
on. So It has been with the Republican
party. They counted up the colOred
votes and then boasted that they had
that much to start on.
"The ballot was not given cOlored peO-
pie for them to express gratitude with,
but to protect and defend your rights.
You owe me nothing for what have
done for the colored people. And, my
friends, you don't owe the Republican
party anything for what Abraham Lin
coin did for you. The colored man is
grateful; he has voted the Republican
ticket for twenty years without getting
any profit from it. Vote for yourselves,
not for me or for Abraham Lincoln"
The Governor was followed by quar-
tette called the Leedy quartette, which
sang several campaign songs that were
loudly applauded.
John H. Atwood, the brilliant Leaven-
worth lawyer, followed Governor Leedy,
and held the close attention Of the aud
fence till the close Of the meeting. Mr..
AtwOOd's speech was one Of his charac-
teristic efforts. His description Of the
rush Of Republicans after Senator Baker
asking for Office and appointments, and
other witty sallies, kept the audience in
a continued roar. Mr.. Atwood talked Of
the war and national issues and was
loudly applauded.

don't need to fear that they will be slow
in coming to you for them. Distance
from the packing houses is not such an
insurmountable obstacle A few years
ago, when the Chicago stock yards would
not let the big packers into the COM
pany, Armour, Swift and Morris bought
land twenty miles from their packing
houses and were preparing to build a

pany surrendered and let them in.

most of us could afford to lose. To ac-
cOmplish these things we need a new
constitution. It is nearly forty years
since fifty-two men who had not, who
could not have had any conception OF

and prepared constitution for us. That
constitution Is out of date. 1t is full Of
prohibitions. Do you need to be told
that you can't do this or do that and

SITUATION IN NEW JERSEY.
Democratic Nominee for Governor
Must Answer PerpIexing Questions.
Correspondence Of Tho Evening Star.


NEW YORK. October II, 1898.
An interesting campaign is being con-
Quoted this year in New Jersey. Foster NJ.
Voorhees,, like Colonel Roosevelt in New
York state, has not disdained to travel from
town to town and talk to the farmers upon
the issues of the day. He has even invaded
democratic ard free silver stronghOlds in
the southern part Of the state, and by
reason of his magnificent personal canvass
has undoubtedly succeeded in winning
many votes for his cause.
Mr.. Crane. the democratic nominee for
governor, mas scarcely appeared upon the
stump as yet, but he expects to make
tour of the state in a few days. If he
does. he is likely to have some pointed
questions asked him, not only regarding
national issues ignored by the New Jersey
democratic platform. but also regarding his
position upon the subject of state issues
and the possible reopering of Gutenberg
and Gloucester race trS cks and other race
tracks bitterly condemned by thousands
OF New Jersey citizens. Mr.. Crane is liable
TO find difficulty in convincing some Of his
constituents that he voted for Bryan in
1896 and many of the Bryanites have
threatened Ito get even by voting direct
for Voorhees,.
Senator Smith has leased a big suite Of
offices in one of the bank buildings at New
ark and has taken personal charge of his
campaign. Senator Smith is making a des-
perate attempt to obtain control of the New
Jersey legiSl 4tJre. In the event of his sue
cess it is quite generally admitted that he
will be returned to the JEited States Sem
ate. In the event Of the triumph of the re-
publicans. Jonn Kean, the Elizabeth mil
lionaire the treasurer of the republican
state committee, and one of the best-known
men in New Jersey politics. will undoubt-
eddy be sent to the United States Senate.

TO CANCEL DEEDS.
Proceedings in Equity Instituted by
Catherine Cooper.

Catherine Cooper.
Proceedings in equity were today insti-
tuted by Catherine Cooper to avoid and
cancel certain deeds, the defendants named
being Cora a. Brown, James F. Brown
Mahlon Ashford, trustee, Henry X. Simp-
son, trIstee, and William H. Brown. Mrs.
Cooper explains that she is a widow, Old
ur educated unable to get about very much
and unacquainted with business affairs
being compelled, therefore. to leave the
transaction of her business to others. While
engaged in conversation one day with
James F. Brown, she says. ne informed her
that by reason of contemplated street ex-
tension certain property owEed by her in
Howard University subdivision would be
involved in litigation. and she ought to
have some one represent her interests in
the SUIT. She asked him to look out for
her, and was told that it would be neccs-
sary for her to sign 4 paper comforting on
him the power of representation A paper
was later presented to her by James F.
Brown to be signed it is stated and when
asked by her if it was the authority re
ferred to Brown assented. She signed it by
mark.
Later, Mrs. Cooper says, she learned that
the paper she so signed was in fact a
deed in fee to her entire interest in the
property, conveying it to Browns wife.
Cora. Mrs. Cooper declares that she never
bargained for the sale of the property,
never intended to do so and has never re
ceived dollar for the premises.
The defendants. Cora and James F
Brown, II is further stated, conveyed the
property 20 MahlOn Ashford and Henry X.
Simpson in trust to secure the. payment
of a note for $500 to the defendant. William
H. Brown. According to Mrs. Cooper she
was misied and wiiifu}ly and knowingly de-
ceived by james F. Brown and by him de-
frauded and deprived of her lawful rights
to the property. Mrs. Cooper desires the
court to declare the deed in question null
and void.

And a slight expression of our appre-
citation of the many heroic knights who
went forth in defense of the nations honor
and those Who sacrificed their lives, /
would recommend that a suitable memorial
be prepared and published with the records
of this conVOcation.
There were added to the roster two
new states during the year, namely, Louis
lana and Connecticut, by the institution of
Louisiana Commandery, No. 235, at New
Orleans, and Ben Hur Commandery, No.
242 at New London, and the location of
Sandilands Commandery, No. 245, at Au-
burn, N. Y, has opened up a very desir-
able field hitherto undeveloned, and the
prospects are bright for a great growth
where those new acquisitions are located,
and in order that the expectations may be
fully realized special efforts should be put
forth for their development, and there is
no reason, now that the country is recover
ing from the long period OF depression and
the excitement incident to the Espano-
American war why tfea order should not
have the same increase in those sections
that has characterized other parts, when
the proper efforts were made, especially
after the good work that has already been
done. There are also bright prospects for
the spread of the order to North Dakota,
Washington and British Columbia, where
commands will be located in the very near
future.
