Another name is mentioned IN con-

ton for mayor, that of Lieut. Fred r.
Huseman, who is now temporarily To-
Gated at Pittsburgh. He is bling push
ed by members of Company G, of the
Fourth "Immunes," one oE5'whom said
last night that the company would
vote for Fred Huseman to man, re-
gardless OF politics. Mr.. Huseman was
a prominent member of the Blkins Ca
diets, the crack marching club in the
1896 campaign, and enjoys a large
measure OF popularity.

The complete and official resurns OF
the Republican primary election in
Marshall county are not yet completed,
and will not be complied until to-day.
AS stated yesterday,Dr Steele is noml-
mated for sheriff, II. j. Parsons for pros.
ecuting attorney, ]. Il. Roseberry for
assessor in the upper district, and
Messrs. Sinclair and Harris for house
of delegates.
There were two close contests that
had not been decided conclusively up to
Sunday night, but on Monday unofficial
returns were received at Moundsvllle
which showed that John Chapman wins
the assessorship in the lower district.
and ex- Mayor Purdy, OF Moundsyille, is
nominated for county commissioner
over Wilson, his. closest competitor.
The vote in Marshall, aggregating
over $500. is 200 more than the party
vote at the national election in 1895, a
fact which is taken to show that ma
jority of the large influx of population
into the county is Republican in poll
tics. 1t Is freely predicted by the Mar
shall county Republican leaders that
Mckinley and White and Dovener will
carry the county by 1890 to 1000 major
ity.
A party Of Marshall county politicians
were In town last night, including ]. X.
Chase, of Liberty district, who was DR..
steele's principal competitor in the
sheriffalty nomination; Rev. Paul Met
zenthin, Assessor j. T. Roseberry, both
of Benwood, and Robert Watson, Of
Cameron. Mr.. Chase, while disappolnt-
ed that he was only second best in the
contest for the sherHalty, was loyalty
enthusiastic in stating that he would
vote and work for Steele. Mr.. chase's
friends say he cannot be beaten for the
nomination four years hence.
Hon. James X. Hall yesterday morn

The Issue in Delaware.
(From the Delaware Pilot.

(From the Delaware Pilot.)
Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, Willard Salisbury
Esq, in an interview with a reporter
of the Baltimore Sun, in relation ito
the Addicks convention held in Dover
ON Monday said: If sound moral
forces operate lin Delaware we are
certain to elect the whole Democratic
ticket. The issue of our campaign for
State Officers depends as little on
political considerations as does a local
campaign in South Carolina, Missis-
sippi or Louisiana, or as did the fight
in New York City against the Tweed
ring. Questions of honesty, decency
and morality are uppermost in this
State now; not political questions. -
The statement of the Chairman will
no doubt call forth columns of person
al abuse from the organs of Addicks
bur it will meet with the approval OF
all good citizens. The fight this year
must be made against Addicks and
Those for whom he stands sponsor
The institutions of the State must be
saved from their clutches. If by any
means the State of Delaware passes
into the hands of the party of Ad-
dicks, existing laws will be repealed
Iand legislation enacted which will
give them control of the State for
years TO follow. Power in their hands
would mean THE creation of fortunes
for themselves at the expense of THE
people. 1t would mean extravaganza
i'm expenditure and destruction Oh
State credit. Tt would mean that the
Constitution and laws of the State
would become dead letter and thaH

The Fight in Delaware.

Willard Salisbury, Chairman of the
Democratic Stale Central Committee
of Delaware, speaking of the dissen-
sions in the Republican party of this
State, said:
What if the Republican factions do
patch a truce and have joint nominal
ltions? Well, we will elect our whole
ticket, l feel almost certain. There
are several thousands of Republicans
who have no desire or expectation OF
holding office, and they will vote THE
Democratic ticket, except for Presi-
dential electors, or not vote at all.
THE vote of 1896 hardly gives any
Indication of the vote this year. The
joint vote onRtpublican tickets in 1896
would show there was majority OF
about $500. There were certainly
1900 Democrats opposed to Bryan who
did not register or vote, and feel as
sured we can count on at least 1900
of these at the next election. Probably
we will get $50 German or other for
eign-born voters who in 1896 voted
for Mckinley. This would count SOC
off the Republican majority. Over
1000 Democrats registered in 1896, but
did not vote, OF these we can count
ON at least 700 or 500. Of the 1OOC
Palmer and Buckner voters in 1896
Bryan this year will get, I believe &C
per cent. and Mckinley 10 per cent"

seek venal agents in the camp of an

MORTON IS FIRST.
Western Kansas County Pays
All State Taxes.

SMALLEST IN STATE.

The greatest prosperity seems to ex-
list in the extreme western counties of
the short grass region which are
charged with being good only for the
raising of cattle. Whatever may be the
uses to which that section of the state
is best adapted, those counties are set
ting an example for all the rest of the
state in the payment of state taxes.
Morton, the smallest county in the
state, containing the point farthest dis
tant from other parts of the state west
or south, the last place one passes in
going out of the state in that direction,
has paid to the state treasurer all of
the state tax for the current year.
This is nothing short of remarkable,
especially when all the circumstances
are considered. The first half of the
years tax has only recently been paid
into the county treasury; yet, the coun-
tvs full share of tax for the whole year
has been paid. The tax from the peo-
pie which is not totally collected until
June has been advanced by the county,
showing that the financial affairs of the
county must be in a remarkably good
condition.
Many of the larger and more import
ant counties of the state are delinquent
in state taxes and have been so for sew
eral years. State Auditor Cole said to-
day:
The manner in which the western
Kansas counties are settling up their
taxes is something wonderful. The
remittances come in promptly and
many of them are paying up their in

COKE SUIT, TOO.
More Trouble For Mr.. Carnegie
is Brewing.

Pittsburg, Feb 15.-A1though the suit
which H. c. Prick filed to break the
binding force of the ''ironclad' agree
ment and recover from the Carnegie
Steel company, limited, the market
value of his holdings in that concern
is the main line of attack opened by
the anti-Carnegie adherents, the minor
ity stockholders who are lined up
against the policy of Mr.. Carnegie it
is said are certain to follow it up with
the suit attacking the validity of the
coke contract of the Carnegie company
with the H. c. Prick Coke company
Attorney VIM. B. Rodgers although
refusing to deny or affirm his connec-
ton with the big case, is commonly
credited with having in charge the
prepare ton Of the coke contract end
of the matter. 1t is understood that
this suit will be filed in Greensburg,
as Mr.. Tricks attorneys at that point
have been in frequent consultation
with attorneys representing Mr.. Frick
in this city. The suit, however, will
not likely be precipitated for some days
yet, and perhaps several weeks may
elapse before it is ready for filing in
the courts.
The sum of money involved in the
proposed suit is said to run up to a
gigantic figure. The estimated total of
the Carnegie Steel company's daily
consumption of coke is 900 cars. The
Prick company produces about 1900
cars of coke per day. so that three
f1ftns of the whole goes to the steel
concern at the low price of $1.35 per
ton. In other words, the Carnegie
Steel company, it is alleged, saves from
$4,000 to $4,000 a day. With the cost
of production and freight rates and
other items of expense in the manufae-
ture of coke constantly going up the
minority stockholders of the coke COM
pany say that if the contract is al
lowed to run their profits will be even
tually cut to almost nothing. The suit
then will ask the court to annul the
agreement altogether and relieve them
from a situation that has been forced
upon them by the majority holdings.
