In Old Kentucky.

Chaotic is the only word that
will describe the political situa.
ton as it existed today in Frank.
fort. This condition arose not so
much from anything that was
done by either side as from the
countless stories and rumors that
were spread broadcast during the
day. Early in the morning it was
positively asserted by the Demo
Gratis and confirmed nv few
Republicans that the legislative
session in London was ahout To
be called off. The Democrats
claimed to have had the highest
possible assurances that Cover
nor Taylor would take such ac.
ton and that the next session of
the legislature would be held In
Frankfort, in the Capitol building
tomorrow morning. Governor
Tay.or, however, altered the SIT.
uatlon entirely by declaring to
correspondent Of The Associated
fress that the meeting at London
would proceed as originally in
tended by him. He denied In the
most emphatic manner that there
had been any intention on the
part OF the Republican party to
abandon the London session.
This was a bonn mbshell to many of
the Democratic members of the
legislature, who had absented
themselves from the Capitol over
Sunday to prevent any possible
move by Governor Taylor to con.
vey them to London to make a
quorum, and who had returned
on information that everything
had been settled and an agree
ment reached to convene the leg.
lslature In the Capitol. BY noon
fully 30 of them had arrived.
They knew nothing of the situa.
ton except what had been con.
tained in messages received by
them and these were found to be
misleading when they we're con-
fronted on their arrival In Frank.
fort by the statement of Governor
Taylor.

Leaves the Democratic Party.

A representative of the Inter-
Ocean on Monday called the at
tention of Major E. A. Maglone
to the fact that Hon. w. G.
Leistikow had experienced
change of heart, and in the future
would support the administration
on the sound money and expansion
questions. Mr.. Maglone remarked
that he was not at all surprised, as
Mr.. Leistikow was too good a man
to be a Pop. The Inter Ocean
man then asked, What is your
position on these questions?'' and
met with the response, Il am an
American citizen"
eff it is not a leading question,
major, is it not a fact that you
intend to support the Republican
ticket at the coming election?"
II hardly see what difference
that makes, as / control but my
own vote anyhow, but l have
nothing to conceal regarding my
attitude on the great questions Of
the day. I have always been a
Democrat from principle, but the
Republican party has stolen our
time honored principles and is
now using them as its stock in
trade, and I propose to stand by
those principles, even though I
have to train with the Republi-.
cans. I am not a candidate for
any Office, and therefore. have no
particular object in expressing my
sentiments. The present admins
tration should be sustained on
this war question, as the acquisi-.
ton of so much new territory
means considerable to the United
States, and to North Dakota
particularly, as it opens new
market for our wheat and other
products, and in the future we will
not be dependent entirely upon
the old markets, as in the past. I
am of the opinion that the Anglo
Saxon will in time control the
destinies of the world; wherever
English speaking people are, there
you find the highest civilization.
The United States of America is
now one of the greatest nations of
the world, and must expand the
same as England has. So under
the present condition of affairs
with the Republican party in
favor of expansion and sound
money, and the Bryan party 'agin'
the government, I see nothing to
do but stand by sound money and
expansion"

Everybody speaks highly of the
splendid service Postmaster
Chambers is giving his patrons.
He gives every detail of the Office
his personal attention-and his
courteous and obliging treatment
has won the respect and good will
Of all.
Churehs Ferry people were con-
siderably worked up over a hand
bill that was circulated here Tues
day, calling mass meeting of the
taxpayers of the county, at Devils
Lake, Thursday, "to meet the state
military board, and board of coun-
ty commissioners to discuss the
advisahlity of the county assum-
ing control of the bridge at Pelican
Point, guaranteeing it's construc-
ton and maintenance" The hand
bill was not signed. The citizens
and farmers in the surrounding
country were very indignant over
the snap judgment the citizens
of Devils Lake were trying to take
in shouldering the bridge onto the
county They had made prepara-
tions to come down in force and
protest vigorously against the
scheme. But on being assured
that the bridge committee and the
citizens of Devils Lake generally
we're against such scheme them
selves and knew absolutely nothing
about the mass meeting or the
necessity Of calling one, the ex-
citement subsidized. The author of
the anonymous circular was round
ly scored by the leading taxpayers
here for circulating the handbill,
thus stirring up a bitter feeling
throughout the county against the
business men of the county seat.
That seemed to be the only object
to be obtained by sending broad
cast such fire brand.

into the country the trip from
Bartlett to Grand Harbor was
made by stage. 1t was one of the
coolest days of the early spring,
and among the passengers in the
stage coach was Andrew Stade,
the now wealthy merchant of
Devils Lake, who was also bound
for the Harbor. AL says he does
not believe they would ever have
reached their destination if it had
not been for bottle of very strong
liniment Andrew had on his per-
son. Whenever the driver be-
came so cold that he wanted to
abandon the journey and go off on
the prairie somewhere and die,
Andrew would administer an in
ternal application of the rejuvina-
ting liniment, and the journey
would be continued. The elixir
held out and they reached the
Harbor after a desperate struggle
with the elements-an the lini-
ment. "See what changes time
has wrought mused Sathers.
"You would not believe it to look
at those delicate, effeminate hands
of Stade's which have measured
off millions of yards of silks,
muslins, calicoes and dainty rib
bons since that memorable trip
that they once were hard and
calloused by constant contact with
the handles of a bucking plow,
and flourishing hickory gad over
a pair of stubborn oxen. But it is
a fact. Andrew took up a claim
near the Harbor, and wasted no
time in plowing the land and put.
ting it in crop. He is one of the
best fellows that ever lived, and
am glad he is prospering." When
Sather located here there was nc

presidential situation during the day,
although the Stevenson candidacy ap.
parently met with favor and there
seemed to be a, possibility Of this being
the solution Of the question. i
The determination Of ), the Indiana

caused little diversion during q part

stated that he was not q candidate and
would not be. -, K. & hi. ..
The demonstration made over Hill
in the convention was taken by some
to mean that the convention would be
stampeded for him, but Hill does not
think SO, and it is possible that if he
makes speech on the platform he will
make it plain that he could not be a
candidate on Bryan platform. He
says emphatically that he will not be
nominated. g2@-3 80, >. y. 7, =
