erIheless, there were many who pre-
ferred Blaine to Harrison. When the
June Mr.. Blaines name was pre-
sented although he afterward de-
cIared the presentation to have been
without his authority. 1t was too late,
however, to bring about his nomina-
ton. and Harrison won on the first
ballot, although Blaine received 1S2
votes. Whitelaw Reid, editor OF the
New York Tribune. was nominated for
vice-president.
The Democratic convention met at
Chicago June 81 and nominated ex-
President Cleveland for first place and
Adlai Stevenson, of Illinois, for vice
president. Considerable opposition to
Cleveland's nomination was manifest
ed in the south and west, where his
hostility to the free coinage of silver
had alienated many Democratic voters.
In spite of all opposition, however,
Cleveland was nominated on the first
ballot receiving more than two-thirds
of the vote of the convention, none of
which come from his home state of
New York
The Peoples party, which had been
able to elect several members of con-
gress in 1890, and which had spread
rapidly over the south and west now
Omaha, July 2, and nominated Cen
eral James B. Weaver, of Iowa. for
president, and James G. Field, of Vir-
ginia, for vice-president.
The Socialist Labor party nominated
Simon Wing. of Massachusetts,. for
named John Bidwell to lead their for
lorn hope.
The campaign was not characterized
by any extraordinary incident There
was vigorous discussion of all
the questions involved but the chief
issue turned out to be the tariff in
stead of the money question. The
most serious trouble which occurred to
plague the Republicans during the
campaign was the strike of the en-
ployes of the Carnegie Steel company
at Homestead, Pa, on account of a
reduction in wages. In the course OF
the dispute the company hired a force
of detectives to protect employees who
wished to return to work. While these
detectives were approaching the plant
they were fired upon by the strikers
and battle ensued in which 20 men
were killed and many wounded. Try
as hard as they could the Republicans
could not disconnect, to the complete
satisfaction of the popular mind, the
ultimate causes of this outbreak be-
tween capital and labor from the eff
fects of the Republican tariff law.
Whatever may have been the cause
Cleveland was elected by a large ma
jority. He carried the solid south and
also California, Connecticut, Delaware
Illinois. Indiana, New Jersey, New
York and Wisconsin. The Democrats
were also able to secure five votes in
Michigan, in consequence of q law
passed by the Democratic legislature
in 1891, providing for the choice OF
presidential electors by districts rather
than by general ticket. Cleveland's
total number of electoral votes was
III as against 145 for Harrison. His
minority of ITO in the election of 1885
was turned into a majority over Har-
rison of 1872 Both houses of congress
now had Democratic majorities and

ocrats had full control of both the ex-
ecuttve and legislative departments OF

FOR new FACTORY
One Will BE Built in Topeka at
Once.
Steel and Brick building 100
Feet Square.
TO BUILD WINDMILLS.
Will Have a Capacity Of 5000
Mills Annually.
70 BUILD WINDMILLS.
Site Purchased at Eighth Ave-
nue. and Adams Street.

A w. Thompson of the Clipper
Wind Mill and Pump company of
Atchison which is being reorganized,
has purchased eight lots at the corr
ner of Eighth and Adams street and
within the next thirty days will COM
mence the erection of steel and brick
building for the manufacture of the
products of the company. The build
ing will be one hundred feet square
and one story in height and will be
used as a foundry, machine shop,
store house and general Office for the
company.
The factory will have a capacity of
5000 wind mills annually besides a
capacity for an even greater number
of pumps such as are used with the
mills. At the outset the company will
employ 20 men, many of them skilled
machinists and moulders with pay
roll of from fifteen to twenty thousand
dollars a year.
Secretary Poole of the Commercial
club has been working to secure this
factory for nearly a year and its loca-
ton may be credited as one of the re-
suits of the Commercial club as sew
eral other cities were candidates for
the location. The Clipper wind mill
has been manufactured in AtchisOn
for the past five years and is a stand
and product though it as been sold
III the past directly 70 the consumer.
The company which has been
formed to manufacture the product
will handle the output through the
jObbers of the country and as there
is at this time a large demand for the
mill little trouble is anticipated in
placing the output of the factory. The
mills sell at $50 and the output of the
factory annually will bring from
twenty-five to thirty thousand dollars
in Topeka.
The factory site purchased by the
Clipper Will Mill company is one of
the best in the city being located on
Missouri Pacific and Santa Fee
switches. A number of prominent To-
peka capitalists are interested finan-
cially in the new venture and stock in
the new concern will be placed on the
market within the next few days.

The administration of President
Harrison was particularly notable in
political effect because of the admis-
sion during his term of many new
states to the union. In 1889 four ter
ritorieS North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana and Washington applied to
congress for state rights and received
them The following year two other
territories, Idaho and Wyoming, were
also admitted to the union. Thus there
were six more states participating in
the election of 1892 than participated
in 1883.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that Harrison was the CEN
tennial president of the United States.
In other words, his administration
marked the one hundredth annivers-
airy of the foundation of constitu-
tional government in the United
States.
The presidential contest of 1892 was
fought out on substantially the same
issue and between the same candidates
as were involved in the fight of 1888.
President Harrison had proved to be
an able and conscientious executive,
but not a popular leader. His person.
atty was such that he failed to attract
men to his support, as did Blaine and
some of the other Republican leaders.
To all except a small coterie of init
mate friends he appeared almost I'M
courteous and Indifferent. Neverthe-
less, it would have seemed confess
sion OF weakness in Republican prin-
cfples to have dropped MF. Harrison
at the end of his first term in view Of
the fact that practically the same
principles were involved now as four
years before.
In February, 1892, James G. Blaine
had written a letter to the chairman
of the national Republican committee
announcing he would not under any
circumstances be a candidate for the
presidency. There can be little doubt
of his sincerity. for he was growing

BRADY IS COMING WEST.
Famous Author Preacher Accepts Cali
s-, in Kansas City.

Cyrus Townsend Brady, the famous
author, playwright and pastor of Old
Trinity Episcopal church. created a
decided sensation here Sunday when
he announced from the pulpit that
owing to the fact that the Toledo
church was a state corporation and
not under the canon laws he would be
forced to resign and that he had de-
cided to accept the call of the st.
George Episcopal church at Kansas
City. His resignation is to take effect
here January IL.
1.-THE question is not a personal
one," declared DR.. Brady, but one of
principle"
Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady was
formerly connected With the Episcopal
church in Kansas filling the Office of
canon with headquarters in Topeka.

the Topeka police force arrest little
boys for riding bicycles on the side
walks, Jimmy has sent the following
communication to Chief Eaton:
My paw says that the "coppers''
Are the best things in this town,
And without that big Chief Eaton,
Every old thing would run down;
He talks about the bottoms
And bicycle riders, too,
And lows that all should be pulled,
Who have nothing much to do.
Now 1 got the best old bike
In this here end of town.
And when I ride down the street
The kids all turn and frown.
But sometimes when it's muddy,
(And there amt much pavement
here, -.,f,.4..
1 sneak up on the sidewalk,
I4ettin' out all my gear.
Just as get my speed up
Ridin' to beat the band
Out jumps Detective Hopkins
And puts up warnin' hand,
Before 1 can say word.
He grabs me by the collar
Then to the station" we go
And I'm fined a great big dollar.
What's a Teller goin' to do
When the streets are full of mud,
Is he goin' to slip and slide.
And fall down with sthud?
1 don't care a doggone bit
What all these p'licemen say,
They'll be the ones to run,
When get big some day.
But I guess Teller has
To take whatever comes.
A shovelin' snow or chopin wood,
Or workin' out his sums,
And when Chief Eaton is paid
To carry out the laws,
Us kids have got no business
To hunt for frills and flaws.
With his little three-year-old boy
sitting on his knee Frank Goodrich is
in the police station this morning
awaiting trial for being found drunk.
He had been visiting his brother-in-
law on the East side and the case of
brotherly love was a little too realistic
for the police. The little boy was with
his father and was trying to lead him
home but he followed him to the sta
ton. Frank is not bad character
and he will be given another trial
John Kaberline, a hard working Rus
sian, could not burn his hands with a
weeks wages and instead he burned
his stomach with poor whisky and the
police did the rest. Judge Urmy fined
him ten dollars because he had prom
ised to pay an old fine once and then
skipped the city. John is a good man
except when he is full and he never
gets disortlerly. He just gets happy.
Good morning Judge, what are you
doing in my house. Get out of here, ]
can't waste any time with you"
So said Bud" Williams, the colored
man who is becoming famous on ac-
count of his illusions that 800 street car
men are chasing him in streets cars.
He was arrested again last night for
the same old offense-too much coke"
and crazy. This time he is in a happy
mood and thinks that he owns the
whole station force and all.
Il am getting tired of this police
| force and I am going to fire them al
| and hire new men. / am going to tear
down this place and build a new mil
| lion dollar home. And / am going tC
send that Judge Urmy to the pen for 8
hundred years. 1 am going to fill Tho
whole cellar with cigars, whisky and
beer. But I want you guys to get out
/ of here and leave me alone"
/ This was the kind of reception Judge
Urmy received from bud" williams a
| police court this morning. The crazy
man had little use for the law or any
thing else and he had an idea that h
lowned everything in sight. He wal

taken back to the. cell without being
given a trial and when he sobers up he
will be placed upon the rock pile until
he wears out a hammer. when he was
placed in the cell again he began to
demand from each of the prisoners that
they get right out and buy him re-
freshments.
Il want you to get me four bottles of
beer" he said to the first drowsy pris-
oner. You get me six quarts of
champagne" he said to another And
you run out of here right now and get
me a box of dollar cigars" he went on
to the third man. But the fourth pris-
oner was sleepy and tired from his ex-
periences of the night before and just
as the old man began his demands he
let loose with a swing with the left and
Bud" fell fiat to the cement floor He
lay there for a minute, slowly raised
himself up and crawled in one of the
hunks. Turning to the reporter who
was standing at the door he said: Get
away from my bedroom door, mister,
wants to go to sleep in peace" and
Bud" began his dead" sleep brought
on by his deadly drug habit.
With a far away look in his face and
nothing to do but peak in at the hotel
windows and watch the cigar smoke,
Lewis Howell was arrested for vagran-,
cy last night. When asked his occupa-
ton he simply said, Barber" He is
sitting on the wooden benches in the
Jail today with the same far away look
in his eyes. Chief Eaton says he must
be in love, while .Jailer Smith, who does
not have much faith in lovelorn youths
says that he drank too much booze
and it dulled his brain. Judge Urmy
will settle the question this afternoon.
- s.
Once more the atmosphere hangs
heavy around the Bee Adams dump on
Crane and Monroe streets and this time
the crime was an assault with intent to
kill.
A crowd of colored men who had
gathered at this place Saturday night
entered into a controversy of some kind
and the shooting followed. Harvey
Enochs, colored, was the victim of the
shooting scrape and Lewis Wisdom per-
formed with the gun. The other men
tiers Jim Jordan. Will Dupree and
Milt Artebridge. They have all been
| fined for everything from plain drunk
to highway robbery and murder.
Wisdom, the man who did the shoot
| ing Is not a bad character and the DO
lice believed him when he said he had
| shot in self-defense. The bullet enter
| ed behind Enoch's shoulder, went
| through the right lung and through
| the chest. The man will recover.
Although it may be a cold blooded
| wish, the police have regretted that
| fact that Wisdom did not shoot better.
| Enochs has been convicted of hundreds
| of crimes. He has sold booze, drank
| it, gambled, conducted disorderly
| houses and has murdered a friend. He
is always stabbing someone and it is
| thought that he was in the act of run
ming his knife into young Wisdom when
| the latter pulled his gun.
| Wisdom was perfectly frank about
| the whole affair and gave himself up to
/ the police. 1t was first thought that
| Artebridge had done the shooting but
| later Wisdom admitted that he was
! guilty. The trial is given over to the
state.

fax county is a farming COM
munity we will not any of us
realize the heights of prosperity
to which the county will ascend.
And God knows the newspapers
need the farmers, and we are
going to use every effort to get
them.
1--WE want farmers. Almost
any kind of farmers will do.
We remember the kind Of farm
ers we had in Kansas and Ne
braska thirty years ago, The
most of them were as scrawny
and measly as their horses and
stock, and they fought the hot
winds and drouths in summer
and poked corn stalks and prai-
RE chips in the stove in winter
in a listless, hap-hazard way, and
a good many of them starved
out and left. Those who did stay
gradually gained backbone and
| knowledge. They were joined
by more farmers who knew the
business better, and after awhile
we could hear Of farmers insti-
tutes, deep blowing, improved
cattle and horses and hogs, and
improved seeding and farming
became a business and science,
instead Of a means for a lazy
man to keep from starving.
These farmers who come
into New Mexico now will profit
much by the experience of the
Kansas and Nebraska and Okla.
homa farmers, but they, too,
will have to learn new conditions
and new methods, but they will
do it successfully, and they will
make Colfax county garden
spot.
In this connection let US cal
the attention of our Ration neigh
Dor to the fact that the Irrigation
Congress, to be held in Albu.
querque q few weeks hence,
will do more to supply what hi
very properly characterizes a,
New MeXico's greatest want
than any other enterprise o.
, movement that has ever beer
undertaken, by bringing con
spicuously to the attention o
the world the now dormant ca
: liabilities Of our soil and climate
4 when given proper conditions.
