IS NONCOMMlTTAL.
Mr.. TOwne Does Not Indicate
What He Will Do.

Duluth, Mimi, May 11.-Charles A.
Towne today made the following state
ment with reference" to his nomination
to the vice presidency by the Sioux
Falls convention:
1T was my judgment that the Sioux
Falls convention should appoint a con-
ference committee to meet with similar
committees from the Democrats and
silver Republicans at Kansas City on
July 4 for the purpose of jointly con-
sdering the vice presidential nomina-
tion. This opinion was freely cOmmu-
nicated to prominent members Of the
convention both before it assembled and
while it was in session. In the exercise
of it's discretion , however, it decided
differently. When their conclusion was
reached to nominate a candidate, the
unanimity and enthusiasm with Which
the convention named me is, of course,
exceedingly gratifying. It must be re-
membered that many of the strongest
men in this country were members of
the convention which was composed of
the wise and conservative majority of
the Peoples party, whose devotion to
the great cause in which all the reform
forces are enlisted nobody can question.
The endorsement of such body is
a high compliment and 1 deeply appre-
ciate it. Moreover, it sets an example
of unselfishness at this juncture that
ought not to be without good influence.
Neither Mr.. Bryan nor myself belong to
Jne FOpulSt party. 10 De sure, Sucn d
consideration may seem unimportant
when men are engaged in a great con-
test against the same evil tendencies in
the government, but mere names are
still somewhat powerful in influencing
political conduct, and we must render
all praise to the convention which
thought only of the principles at stake
Harmony and c0-OpB'atiOn are eS-
sential this year among the Democratic,
| the Peoples and the silver Republican
parties. To preserve their combined
strength of 1896 is the first desideratum.
The next is to go into the camp of
those who then opposed US and get re-
cruits. If the nominations at Sioux
Falls are placed before the country with
! all reform parties behind them, they
| will. in my opinion. be ratified by the
people of the republic in November"

GEORGE MARTINS BOLT.
Refuses to Support Wyandotte Re
publican Machine.

George w. Martin, secretary of the
State Historical society, and a lifelong
Republican, has caused a furry in po
litical and administration circles by
boiling the party organization in Wyan-
dotte county, the result of a controversy
over the county printing. Mr.. Martin
devotes a column and a half editorial
to denunciation of the officers in the
court and concludes by saying:
I'VE have preached Republican doc
trine and cheerfully, and under many
questionable circumstances have sup
ported Republican candidates, without
single exception, supposing that through
Republican administration we might
reap some benefit of our labors as party
men and as individuals transacting a
legitimate business but we have sub
mitted to all the Republican shystering
concerning this county printing that we
intend to.
THE party whose representatives in
office perSistently do this is not entitled
to any consideration, and will eventually
be cleaned out as it ought to be. There
must be fairness and decency or things
will go to pieces. There is enough bus
mess wasted, ,frittered and bodied away
in this county to support several lively
shops. Every man knows to what he is
legitimately entitled, and like all other
interests we will have to be for those
OnlV who are for u.s..

M'KINLEY HAS DOUBTS.
Dubious About PrOpriety of At
tending Otis Reception.

Washington, May Representative
O'Grady introduced to the president to-
day a number of prominent citizens of
Rochester, n. Y, who came to invite
him to attend the reception and banquet
to be given to General Otis on his re
turn from the Philippines on June Is.
The president spoke of General Otis in
terms of high praise and said he would
esteem it a privilege to join in doing
him honor. He questioned, however,
the propriety of his dong So No one in
his judgment should be present who by
reason of his superior rank, would nee
essarily share the hOnors which were in
tended for Gen. Otis alone. He would,
however, talk the matter over with Sec
retary Root and the regular army would
be represented by such troops as were
available

K. C. is NEXT.
Entire Force of Street Car Men
About to Strike.

Kansas City, Mo, May 11.-Walton
Holmes, president of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company, today refused
to grant the. demands of the conductors.
motormen and gripmen for recognition
of their union and d uniform scale of
wages, and a strike on all the lines in
Kansas City, Mo, and Kansas City,
Kas., will likely be ordered late this
afternoon.
At noon today a committee of en-
ployes, representing division No. 133 of
the Amalsamated Association of Street
Railway Employees of America, waited
upon President Holmes and submitted
the following demands: That the rail-
way company agree to recognize and
treat with the employees association in
regard to any and all grievances that
may arise; that in case where a sat
iSfactory decision cannot be made the
company agree to submit to arbitra-
ton; that all men who have been in
the employ of the company one year
or over shall be paid at the rate of 20
cents an hour all men who have been
in the employ less than one year to re-
ceive 10 cents an hour; that uniform
work day of ten hours be inaugurated,
and that all men discharged by the
company since May and against whom
no charges of improper conduct have
been proven be reinstated.
The reference to reinstatement in
wolves the discharge of sixty employees,
who have been let out by the company
within the past few days, because, ap-
parently, of their having Joined the
union which has but recently been or
ganized in Kansas City.
The conference consumed but a few
minutes time, Mr.. Holmes refusing alb
solutely to grant the demands or con-
slider further propositions The COM
mittee withdrew and called a meeting
of the strike leaders to decide what ac-
ton shall be taken. 1t seems practi-
cally certain that a strike will be or
| dered, to take effect Immediately and
that a stubborn fight will ensue.
The Metropolitan company operates
all the lines in both Kansas Citys, save
a small one run by the Helm Brewing
| company, and employs about 1000 men.
