This company is assessed at 10000, of

remainder on the real estate owned by the
company. The company objected to being
assessed on its real estate. maintaining that
the assessment on the capital stock more
than covered the value of the comany's
assets. The company was represented by
Attorney John McHugh, and the Board of

MR.. LANDIS'S CAMPAIGN
HE MEETS NINTH DISTRICT COUNTY
CHAIRMEN HERE.
The Inconsistent Position of the DEM
ocratic Candidate-Mr. Lam
dis's Observations.

Representative Landis, of the Ninth dis
trict. arrived yesterday evening and last
night at the Denison Hotel, met the county
chairman of his district. the meeting hav-
ing been called by Fred Sims. the district
chairman. The situation in the Ninth was
c~anvassed and the plan of campaign dis
cussed. Those who attended the confer
ence expressed the opinion that the Re-
publican party in the Ninth district Is in
excellent shape and that victory will be
won by earnest effort and close organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Landis's friends in the district are
pointing to the rather inconsistent position
which Captain Allen. the Democratic can
didate for congressional honors, now oc-
cupies. The Democrats of the district met
at Charlottesville, adopted a platform
declaring against National Banks and the
war in the Philippines and then proceeded
to nominate Captain Allen, a National
banker, and a man who volunteered his
services TO the government, raised a COM
pany and is now leading it against the
Filipinos. 1t is suggested, that TO the
casual observer this would put Captain
Allen in the role of an imperialist.
Mr.. Lands has just returned from the
West where he went OF a short vacation.
While absent he delivered speeches at sew
eral points. My trip was not a political
one" he said last night, but was made on
the invitation of several assemblies on the
Pacific slope. before which / delivered a
number of addresses on nonpolitical
themes. / also had several joint discus
sions with Hon. Champ Clark. of Missouri"
Being asked as to the political situation in
the West as he viewed it Mr.. Lands said:
II believe that Washington, Arizona and
California are as certain for Mckinley as
Pennsylvania. There is but one sentiment
in the great West and that is for expansion
and the vindication of the soveignty of the
American Republic in the Philippine archi-
peligo. I believe the Republicans will car

during the campaign will be in his own

make some speeches in Maine and the ma
tional committee has asked him to spend

have already arrived. James l.. Norris, of
Washington. d. C.. who is one of the con-
tested national committee, who is at the
Hotel English with w. +. Hart, w. II.
wheelan and j. Fred Kelley. who are also
from Washington. Norris's case is one of
those to be decided by the subcommittee
appointed by the national committee which
will probably meet tonight.
A. j. Wolverton, of Ardmore L. T., who
is a contested committeeman, is at the
Grand. His case will also be considered by
the subcommittee. There was a split In
the territorial convention that selected dele
gates TO the Kansas City convention and
two sets OF delegates presented themselves
for credentials. Both delegations were
seated. The rival delegations each had a
candidate for national committeeman and
the vote of the Territory was divided equal
ly. Wolverton's opponent was already a
member of the committee and was a candi-
date for reelection. As the case now stands
neither Is really a member of the commit
tee. The question for the subcommittee to
consider is whether the case should be re-
ferred back to the people of the Territory
TO settle or il this is not done TO determine
what disposition shall be made of the con-
test.
j. Emmett Wolfe, of Pensacola, Fla. a
member of the Bryan notification commit

Williams Meeting at Maxinkuc-
kee Badly Mismanaged.

The Plymouth Democrat is criticising
Chairman Martin, Of the Democratic state
committee, for failing to properly adver-
tise in advance the appearance of George
Fred Williams at the M~axinkuckee assem-
bly, 1t seems that Mr.. Williams spoke to
a small audience. The Democrat winds up
a rather singing editorial in this manner:
1.-THE bungling and inefficient manner in
which the chairman Of the state committee
mismanaged the affair resulted, we are
sorry to say, in almost a complete failure
of the meeting. In the first place, political
meetings at religious assemblages ought not
to be held at all. As is abundantly shown
in this instance they do more harm than
good to the party holding them, and if the
chairman of the state committee had been
possessed of any political foresight he
would not lave placed Mr.. Williams in the
humiliating position he found himself in
on Saturday at the Maxinkucke assembly.
If the pending campaign on the part of
the Democrats is to be managed in this
way the sooner ii is generally understood
the better it will be for all concerned"
The Democrat says that mo arrange
ments were made TO meet and entertain
Mr.. Williams, and had 1t not been for
Judge Winfield. of Logansport. who is oc-
cupying his cottage at the lake, he would
have had to entertain himself and hunt up
the assembly grounds as best he could"

BRYAN ON THE WAY.
He Was Given "a Greeting by Friends
mt omaha

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 6.-Between 1900 and
1000 people assembled at the Burlington
station at 7:3O o'clock tonight to see VIII
liam j. Bryan and his party pass through
en- route to the formal notification meeting
at Indianapolis.
A cheer went UP as the train rolled in
and Mr.. Bryan stepped out on the rear
platform. Before the train came 10 a
standstill scores of enthusiasts were climb
ing over each other to shake the hand Of
the presidential candidate. who smilingly
leaned over the platform rail and cordially
greeted each one within reach. To ac-
quaintances who stepped aboard the car
Mr.. Bryan recalled the fact that on a date
just five days later four years ago he was
departing for New York to receive the
formal notification of his nomination.
In the party with Mr.. Bryan are Governor
Charles S. Thomas of Colorado, Colonel j..
!. Martin, sergeant-at-arms of the national
committee, Mrs. Bryan and others.
Mr.. Bryan's brief run from Lincoln to
Omaha was devoid Of special incident, ex-
cept at the little town of Gretna. AS the
train approached that point Mr.. Bryan ex-
planned that Ii was there, ten years age,
when beginning his first campaign for Con-
gress, that he had made his first speech as
a candidate. Quite a large crowd was con-
gregated on the station platform. and Mr..
Bryan was loudly called for at the rear
pldliOiin. he ulu not attempt 10 MAKE d
speech, but in the space of two minutes
shook hands with about a hundred people
who pressed hard upon each other in their
effort TO grasp the hands of the presidential
candidate.
Mr.. Bryan had his wishes fulfilled in an
entire absence of demonstration on the
part of his home people when he left Lin
coin at s O'Clock his evening. A number Of
friends were at the depot, but there was no
crush or demonstration, the curious ones
being limited 70 passengers on incoming
trains from the East, who, when they were
told that Mr.. Bryan was on the platform,
crowded around him.
The party is travelling on the Burlington
limited. and will reach Chicago about 8
o'clock tomorrow morning.

ing of the Silver Republican State COM
mittee for this evening at s o'clock. DR..
Van Vorhis is chairman of the committee,
and the meeting will be held in his Of
flee in the Law building. The chairman
says the Silver Republicans now have an
organization in all but twenty-six coun-
ties in this State. There is a chairman in
all Of the districts except the Thirteenth.
In this district the party has been unable
to find just the man sought for, but ex-
poets TO find one later on.
One of the topics which may be taken

ton of what the Silver Republicans are

Van Vorhis says the Democratic commit
tee cannot act mean enough TO drive the
Silver Republicans away from Bryan, so
great is their admiration for the Demo-
cratic candidate. From the manner in
which DIR. Van Vorhis spoke of his nego-
tiations with the Democratic State COM
mittee, it is evident he feels that his party
will not be called into the councils of the
Democracy this year.
DR.. Van Vorhis says that no Silver Re-
publicans or Populists have been asked
TO participate in the notification ceremonies
tomorrow or In the entertainment OF the
Bryan and Stevenson party. However. the
Silver Republican chairman takes a char
liable view of the matter and says this
may be due to the fact that the Silver
Republicans and Populists are to have their
own notification day later on. DR.. Van
Vorhis says Bryan is TO have three noti-
f~cations after the one tomorrow. He is
10 be notified by the Populists and Silver
Republicans of his having been selected
TO lead their ticket and he is also TO be
notified of the action taken by the national
convention of United States Monetary
Leagues. which was held in Kansas City

notification committee. but says he does
not know just what action was taken by
the convention.
