FINE WORK FOR KEAT0N
Shown in the Way Byers Was Not
Made Temporary Chairman.

- The selection of c. J. Wrightsman of
Pawnee county for temporary chairman
of the Democratic convention was a vic
tory for Keaton's managers. The oppo-
sition last night had agreed upon AlonZo
Byers Of Kay county for the honor and
it was understood that his choice would
be ratified by the territorial central COM
mittee when it should meet this morning.
The committee, however, beyoUnd select
ing w. P. Francis Of Mills county to call
the convention to order in the absence of
Chairman O'Rourke, transacted no fur
Their business and adjourned without rec
ommending a temporary chairman. Just
before the convention met il developed
that the Keaton men had set their trap
to capture both the temporary and per-
manent craftsmanship by promising By
ers that If he would relinquish his aspir-
atoms for temporary honors he would be
made permanent chairman. AS Kay coun-
ty was out for anything in sight Byers
readily accepted the SWAP" but so quiet
was the deal kept that the Keaton oppO-
sition had no inkling that they had been
outgeneraled until Kay county delegate
arose and withdrew Byers' nomination
for Temporary chairman.

The Populist convention cane together
again after recess and heard the reports
OF the different committees.
The resolutions adopted declare ale
glance TO Populist principles; commend
the Guthrie Typographical union; de-
nounce the territorial board Of equaliza-
ton for raising the tax valuation; demand
statehood, with such portions Of the In
dian Territory as may be deemed prac-
for deserving free homes" declare for
the initiative and referendum; demand
that school land lessees be given prefer
ence rights: indorse the Cuban war, and
declare against the issuance Of interest
bearing bonds.
The first row In the Populist conven-
ton was precipitated by rule reported
by the committee on permanent organiza-
ton, calling for the appointment of
fuson conference committee. A strong
minority did not desre fuson on any terms
and undertook to lay the motion to adopt
on the table. Cleveland Woods and a
part of Noble county Jed the midle-odf-
the-road forces. The rule was finally
adopted after an acrimonious debate, by
a decisive vote Of 119 to 30.
A committee composed of one member
from each delegation was then selected 10
confer with a similar committee from the
Democratic convention. and the Pops then
took a recess until after supper.

Digs Of Perry, Justify bowling for the
regular order. During temporary lulu the
chairman explained his position in over
ruling Doyle's point OF order and gave
assurance that no man would have his
rights snuffed out and that every delegate
should have his say If II took forty years.
Finally Colonel Johnson. the mover of the
motion, stated that in the interest OF har-
mony he would withdraw his motion but
gave notice that a. the proper time he
would renew it, which he followed up with
tn eassertion tina he was as good dem
ocrat as anybody, whereupon Doyle re-
torted that any man who would favor the
motion proposed was not democrat, and
the delegates yelled approval. This Incl
dent restored harmony for the time being
and the convention proceeded to select
the usual committees on credentials, per
manent organization and resolutions.

Schiffbauer said never a word about
penitentiary coal in his screen law
and scrip talk. He did not mention
the asylum scandal or the Wetmore
letter or Jumpers toddy-probably
thinking the less said the better. He
did not pretend that insurance is any
safer or cheaper than heretofore He
did not deny the awful ''cheapness" of
the state text books and that they
are full of defects and mistakes. He
admitted that the salary law did not
benefit Trego county and he entirely
ignored the question of county doc
tor and printer Why was he not
asked TO explain a few of these things?

you merely overlook these trifieS when

County printing is paid for accord
ing to the number of lines or ems set
up or the space occupied and thus the
amount depends largely upon the
length and fullness OF the copy
written bv the county clerk for the
printer. Last year every word and
sentence that could possibly be alb
breviated was shortened or omitted
entirely This year it is different
Everything is published with the
greatest explicitly and length of de-
tail For example compare the re-
port of the examiners of the county
treasury as written and published De-
teber 26, 1897 with the same report
October II, 1898. The former is boil
ed down to q lines and contains six
items of interest to the public. The
latter is elongated to 81 lines and
contains five items. BY boiling down
the printers fees are reduced. BY
the deluting process his income is in
creased which accounts, in part, for
the large cost of county printing this
year OF course this is entirely ac-
cidental. We do not charge any one
with any design in it. Last year was
rather dry and everything shrunk tin-
