and those outside of that organization The meeting was of an executive nature and the discussion hinged on the probable plank to be placed in the platform of the Demo- cratic party at Kansas City in relation to anti-imperialism.
 "We do not want to form n independent party" said Chairman Smith, unless the action of the Kansas City Convention makes it necessary. Until the Convention at Philadelphia, the Republican party had never made a party stand on the question of anti-imperialism. When they adopted their platform, we saw at a glance that We had nothing to hope for from that organ ization. We have no wish to take any nasty action or to go off half-cocked, con sequently we will not call our general con- ference or convention until we see what the Democrats will do at Kansas City There are many who hope that they will give us a broad, liberal plank on the QueS- ton of imperialism. If such action Is taken, then our general conference will probably do nothing more than ratify that plank. Otherwise we will have to do some thing ourselves.
 If no favor is shown the anti-imperial- jstic idea by the Democrats, then definite action will probably be taken and an in- dependent party formed to conduct cam paign along those lines There is diff ference of opinion between the leading anti imperialists as to the course to pursue to bring about this unity of the independent vote and to make effective the opperation to the present administration. It is mat ter of political history that the independ- ent, when closely united can overthrow the party in power. That has been done five times in this country. We hope to do it sixth"
 The place for the conference, or conven- ton. has not yet been decided upon, but its seat will be named at a meeting of the executive committee to be held in Chicago in a few days. It will go either to Chicago, Cincinnati or Indianapolis.

GROSVENOR REPLIES
 TO LENUEL QUIGG In Regard to Muti|ation of Re-

 and Platform as Adopted
 Contained 2,343 Words
HOLDS ORIGINAL DOCUMENT I

Washington, June 25-The Post tomor- row will print an authorized statement from Representative Grosvenor of Ohio in reply to the statement by MT. Quigg, the New York member of the resolutions committee of the Republican National Committee, denying certain allegations of Mr. Grosvenor of mutiating the Repub- hcan platform by MT. Quigg. MT. Gros- venor's statement is as follows
 q have read MT. Quigg's statement. hold in my hand the original document which was handed over to him with cer- tain interlineations of no very material importance, but which required the re- drafting of one entire page and part of another. Otherwise it was the platform agreed upon by the committee and the subcommittee and no man connected with the transaction will put his name to any possession, having been handed to me by Senat tor Foraker, after he received it from MT. Quigg the day following the action of the convention on the platform. It con tairls interlineations in the handwriting of Senator Foraker and others. It contains a plank distinctly proclaiming the policy of the Republican party in the matter of leg islation in reference to our island possess sions in the words l gave in my letter to the New York Journal. It contains a di- rect approval of the policy of legislation in favor of the merchant marine of the coun- try, all of which is omitted from Mr. Quigg's platform
 q had this document when I made the statement to the New Tors Journal, and I had the positive evidence"of the truth of every statement I made, and any if so de- siring can come to me and examine the documentary evidence to which I have re- ferred, which will convince any man of the truth of my statement. I have read the statement of Senator Fairbanks, which does not say anything. It is not ques-

TAYLOR, BROKEN IN HEALTH
 ARRIVES AT NIAGARA FALLS

National Convention as a delegate at large only after having been assured that no requisition calling for his enforced return to Kentucky would be honored.
 The strain is telling on both Governor and Mrs. Taylor. All the time they were in the city their rooms were closely guard ed and Mrs. Taylor answered every rap on the door, She denied herself to all callers and was on the verge of collapse several times.
 It is understood that MT. Taylor will not be surrendered to the Kentucky authorities by Governor Roosevelt and that he will be immune from arrest until he shall return to Indiana, where he is now making his home or until such time as he shall return to Kentucky of his own volition.

He was accompanied by Mrs. Taylor, and four detectives followed close at their heels. Two of the officers represented the State of Kentucky and bear warrants for the arrest of MT. Tay- Tor upon charges growing out of the as- sassination of Governor Goebel. The other two are employed by MT. Taylor to guard his person. His stay in this city was de void of personal pleasure.

The Leader Refuses to Discuss
 That Subject.
HAS MADE NO PLANS FOR CAMPAIGN
He is Positive That no Man Will be Nominated on the Ticket Who is Not in Accord With
 Platform

Lincoln, Neb., June 25.-W. J. Bryan re- turned today at noon from Chicago. He will remain in Lincoln until after the Dem- ocratic National Convention. He says he had been placed in wrong position by some one who had presumed to outline his plan of campaign, and dictated the follow ing:
 Any statement made by anybody in re- gard to the campaign plans are without foundation or authority. No plans have been made by me or by any one for me, and no plans will be made until after the Convention has been held"
 MT. Bryan expects number of political visitors during the week.
 Asked whether he could say anything in regard to the platform to be adopted at Kansas City, MT. Bryan said:
 No one, of course, can say what lan- guage will be used fin setting forth the party principles. But some idea can be obtained as to the general tenor of the plat form from the platforms adopted in the State Conventions. AS large majority or the delegates have been elected by conven- tions which re-affirmed the Chicago plat form, it is safe to assume that the Kansas City platform will re-affirm the Chicago platform and will contain nothing which can be construed a surrender or modi- fication of the platform on the old issues.
 Ut is equally certain that there will be a strong and definite plank after the trusts. There is also no doubt that the plank against imperialism will be clear and plicit Militarism will be denounced and sympathy expressed for the Boers This much is evident from what has already taken place.
 The Vice Presidency
 You have refused to discuss the Vice Presidency Is there any truth in the rumors that Vice President will be chosen whose views on the money question will be attractive to those wno opposed the ticket in 1S96?"
 Tt is true that I have refused to discuss the Vice Presidency" replied MT. Bryan, "and l don't to do now, further than to say that l assume that the candi- date nominated for Vice President will be in harmony with the platform. The Vice President only presides over the Senate while the President is alive; but assumes the office of President in case of the Pres- ident's death and 1t is hardly probable that delegates to national convention would write a platform and then select for either place ticket a man who would repudiate the platform. No man worthy to be considered for such an office would ask a nomination upon platform repugnant to his views on any important issue. In every campaign men support a ticket with out approving all of the platform, but no one can defend a platform unless he be- lieves in it.. Many tariff reform gold Demo- crats supported the Republican ticket four years ago, although they dissented from the protection plank. But the Republican convention would not have nominated tariff reformer upon protection platform. There is some times joint debate between candidates on opposing tickets, but not be- tween candidates on the same ticket

After many weeks Of patient suffering,
Mrs. Sarah Ogden died at the home Of
her son, B. F. Ogden, near Corbin'
March ID, 1900, at 1910 pm. Funeral
services were conducted at the dwelling
by Rev. Owens of Corbin...
Grandma Ogden was removed from
this city, where she had lived number
Of years, to the home of her son Nov.
10, 1899. She at that time and ever
since was a great and uncomplaininng
sufferer from cancer.
Deceased was horn in Virginia June 26,
1920. In an early day she with her par
ents removed to Fulton county, Illinois,
where on September 9, IS47, she was
married to Thomas Oglen, who, with
seven sons and one daughter survive her.
One son preceded her in death. With
her husband and family she came to
Neosho county, Kansas. in 1871, and in

H0We's Law Sermons,

Voltaire, Ingersoll and many other
men of worldwide reputation have at
tempted to 6emolish Christianity and
have signally failed. Editor Howe of
the Atchison Globe, in his lay sermons
which appeared in the Topeka State
Journal of last week, in attempting what
so many able men have tried to do shows
his weakness and lack of knowledge of
history and the world. His attempt to be-
little Sheldon and the Christian religion
in general will but react upon himself.
His statement that all intelligent people
believe that death ends all, is a sample
of the absurdity and unreasonableness of
his argument throughout. 1t had been
far better for Mr.. Howe and the State
Journal, had these sermons never been
written. Christianity has nothing to
fear from such sources. Christ stands
forth the grandest character in all history,
and his teachings, shorn of man-made
creeds and dogma, will be accepted and
followed more and more as the world
grows better and better, from age to age,
as it has in the past and as it will in
the future until his saying referring to his
cruci6ction proves literally true, eff

A Sad Accident.

This neighborhood was shocked Fri
day night, March 9th, by the report that
the eight-year-old son of A. G. Wright,
living three miles west of Corbin, had
been killed by horse. The news spread
rapidly, and soon friends and neighbors
were rushing in to render such assistance
as was in their power to give.
Little Willie, aged eight years, three
months and fifteen days, started to ride a
horse to the river, to water, after the
days blowing was done, and Just as he
started back to the barn, some loose
horses started to run, causing the one
Little Willie was riding to run also,
throwing him off, but he became en-
tangled in the harness and was dragged
about 500 yards before breaking loose.
Wher found he was dead, his neck be-

Caldwell cemetery, Saturday, at three
pm. Mr.. and Mrs. Wright have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their bereavement. Mrs. Wright is a
