1.-The Republican party" said he, els
enamored of power.It is fascinated by the
display, the tinsel, the pomp and the
glory of arms It is Intoxicated with the
vision of imperialism and power. Repub-
ncan milllOnaireS hate the constitution;
the Republican party is restless and I'M
easy under the restraints of the cOnsti-
tuition and are fatally and persistently
and inevitably bent on doing things that
are forbidden by the constitution. The
Democracy revereS the constitution, as
well it might The American Democracy
took the Constitution when 1t was a mere
commission of public power and added
the eleven amendments which stand for
ever a barrier to the encrOachments
of corporate and federal power. The
Democracy took the constitution and
breathed into it the spirit of liberty
In proof of his declaration that the Re-
publican party is hostile to the constitu-
ton, a senator. he said, had stated that
If the constitution had stood in the way
of the purposes and interests of this ma
ton then the constitution must either
bend or break.
What did he mean by sbend?'" ask
ed the orator. He meant that if it were
necessary the constitution would be vio-
lated, and yet" almost whispered the
speaker, that senator, when he made
that statement, was resting under the
oath by which he sWore to uphold the
constitution. What did he mean by
'break?-I'u tell you. He meant that
the constitution would be, if necessary,
cast aside, and yet" Mr.. Overmyer de-
clared with great dramatic effect, that
senator, when he gave utterauce to that
the oath by which he swore to uphold
the constitution

and the others are living in the east.
She has lived to see her great great
grandchildren playing about her, and
today takes more interest in children
than anything else.
There are five generations of the fam
lily living in Topeka: Mrs. Sarah
Bright, aged III; Mrs. zachariah
Bright, her daughter-in-law, aged "a;
Mrs Mary Robertson, grand daughter,
aged 40; Mrs. Sarah Dickerson. great
grand daughter, aged %, and Miss Leoti
Dickerson, great great grand daughter.
aged 4.
Besides Leoti Dickerson, there are
two other great great grandchildren:
Master Ollie Dickerson, aged 2, and
Master Roy Ellis, aged 3. Roy Ellis is
the son of Mrs. Nellie Ellis, who is also
a great grand daughter of Mrs Bright
Mrs. Bright is hearty and active for
one who has lived Ill years She rises
every morning at o'clock and retires
at o'clock. Her eyesight is fairly good
but is failing. At the age of 100 she
could thread a needle without any
trouble. She sleeps well, has a good APP
petite, and seems to enjoy living Her
particular delight is the visit of her
great great grandchildren, whom she
watches over carefully. She waits on
herself and does not require the at
eral years since she has done any work
but she has never lost interest in house
hold affairs or her children.
Mrs. Bright has lived in Topeka five
wears She moved with her husband
from Virginia to Indiana at a. very early
day. From there they went to Iowa,
ard fifteen years ago she came with her
son to Kansas, her husband having died
in Iowa Two of her great grandchild-
rem are employed in Shick's awning
factory.
Mrs. Bright distinctly remembers the
falling stars in 1888, and talks about
no /
her to talk, as she has q slight bron-
chial affection.
Mrs. Zachariah Bright, the daughter
in-law, is the mother of IT children, six
of whom are dead.
In so far as Mrs. Bright can tell, she
has about 80 descendants The children
and grandchildren who remained in the
east have become scattered, and are
seldom heard from, which makes it
difficult matter to learn the exact num-
Der of descendants.

Pre-Arranged designations Ac-

A NEW CONVENTION.
Fusionists to Meet at Hutchin-
son September 10
To Nominate Congressional Can
didate in Seventh District. :

Claude Duval and I. p. Campbell. the
Democratic and Populist nominees for
congress in the Seventh district, at the
request of the central committees, have
rendered their designations as candidates
and the two committees have called
new convention for Hutchinson Septem-
Der 10 to nominate candidate.
The Populist committee held meet
ing at Hutchinson yesterday afternoon
and notified the two candidates that
they were expected to withdraw.
Immediately thereafter the committee
received by special messenger sealed en-
velopes containing the designations OF
the respective candidates for congress
sional honors4
All of this was prearranged, but never
theless the PopuliSt central committee
adopted the following commendatory
Resolved, BY the Populist congress
siOnal committee of the Seventh district
of Kansas, That we highly appreciate
the loyalty to principle and devotion to
the cause of the people which has led l.
p. Campbell and Claude Duval to vol
unfairly place their designations in the
hands of their committees, thus making
1t possible for all reform forces to unite
on one candidate for congress in the dis
trict- The If action has shown them to
be men of high courage and principle,
and places the POpulist party not only
of this district, but of the state and ma
ton. under lasting obligations to them
for their self-sacrificing generosity"
Chairman George T. Pitts of the Dem
ocTatic committee was present and
agreed to calling a new convention for
September 10 and will issue the call at
once. The friends of Mr.. Duval are en-
thusiastic over the success in settling the
difficulty and they believe that Mr.. Du-
val, when the conventions meet will be
nominated by reclamation. Mr.. Duval
stated yesterday that he would still
remain in the hands of his friends and
they may do as they see fit with him in
the future as in the past
1t is the plan to have one-roof con-
vention and Campbell and DuvaI will
both go before the convention seeking
the nomination.
The majority of the delegates in the
two parties in one convention will pro-
badly be required for the nomination. As
this has been Duval's contention con-
corning his individual popularity he is
confident of being the nominee

w recurrent crises in which not only a
single question has disturbed the tran
guilty Of the people. but in which great
cluster of questions, a great brood of
wrongs have presented themselves for
treatment. After over 100 years of con-
