 Hope of Victory.
 Tn MT. Bryan and a reunited party, democracy saw hope of victory. On none other was the smallest hope of union. That they reasoned truly has been shown by the fact that, with the Ryan-Belmont barrel on tap, and it's agents flying about in every direction. state after state, re-

That he should lend himself to such a villiany will engulf him in the scorn of honorable men and the detestatlon of thoughtful democrats.
 "There Is no more reason why demo- cratic national convention should go out of it's way to signalize one former demo- cratic President than another. why 1t should rush upon Cleveland with frenzy of words than with a hysterical shriek 1t should rush upon Buchanan, each.

 This afternoon Don Farnsworth of Chi cago telegraphed to Charles A. Towne at Denver that he had canvassed the vice presidential sentiments among the dele gates at Lincoln today and found encour- aging symptoms in favor Of the can didacy of MT. Towne.
 Plea for Towne.
 MT. Towne is entirely acceptable to MT. Bryan as his running mate, and he is thoroughly in line with the leaders policies and principles said MT. Farms worth.
 "Towne is one of the greatest cam paigners in the country. He is forcible and convincing on the stump and he is popular man personally and could be de- pended upon to offset any strength that Sherman might bring to the republican party in New York and the east. As soon as we can ascertain how the New York delegates stand with regard to Towne we

Mrs. Cas- tino, who comes from Boston, declares that at Judge Drewry's persuasion she prepared her trousseau and came to At lanta for the ceremony, and then the judge backed down.

Check II up to the Candidates.

As the candidates for nomination
August 4 are cavorting over the
prairies, the humble voters should
check them In their mad career Of
eloQuence and bring them down to
brass tacks on few Kansas things.
For instance, where do our candi.
rates FOR U. s. Sneator and for Repre-
sentative In Congress stand as to
afew things not specifically mention.
ed. and yet nowhere specifically forbid
den, by the Republican national plat
form? There Is the valuation Of the
railroads. We Of Kansas believe II
itand believe 1t belongs essnetially +.
up to date Republicanism. While We
regret that 1t was impossible to get
1t expressly ina platform made b,
and for forty-five states. yet we are
still for It In Kansas and believe
the country is inevitably coming to
1t. Every candidate for the U. S. sen
ate for the next six years term and
for the House for the next two years
should make his position clea
on this matter left out Of thu
national platform, but nowhere repu
dated BY the terms Of the platform.
We understand that Mr.. Taft person.
ally favors 1t, and will recommend
that Congress make an appropriation
to have such physical valuation
made. Certainly Kansas should send
no man to Congress who does not
represent Kansas convictions on that
question.
As to the publicity Of campaign
contributions, 1t Is one Of the things
does for valuation OF the railroads,
and 1t Is also one Of the things the
convention did not put in its plat.
form. There is nothing In the plat
form against It. Kansas Senators ant
Representatives should stand with
Kansas on this matter.
Election Of U. s. Senators by the
direct vote Of the people OF the State
Is q principle that Kansas has given
Affirmative approval to time and
again; that the legislature time and
again has recommended to Congress
and that the House at Washington
has time and again indor4d. Where
do our Kansas candidates for office
that have to do with framing nationa..
laws and policies stand on that prop
osition?
Let 1t be checked up to the candi.
dates. They are all for the excellent
national platform, which goes so far
as it was possible to get the consent

meeting was one OF great enthusiasm
The convention opened with 2S2 dele

those who attended the congress
which closed today. Technical points
of great value were brought out in
the relation of actual experiences by
practical men. Deep blowing and fire.
quent cultivation is insisted upon, and
one Utah delegate today convinced
the farmers that there was more dan
ger from overseeing than from un-
derseeding. Forty pounds to the acre
was the amount recommended by the
speaker.

tain Village.
The mayor of village In western
state, under a law by which the mayor

cattle stealing case.
Two men had stolen two steers and
sold them to a butcher In the town for
the extremely low price OF S31.
Now. the jurisdiction of this mayor
police judge extended in such cases
only to the limits of petty larceny.
which required that the stolen articles
be not of value Of more than $50
Beyond this amount the magistrate
had to bind the prisoner or prisoners
over to the circuit court, subject TO the
action of the next session of the grand

bis Jurisdiction, the judge cot no fee.
and at this particular time. as at many
others, he needed the money,
When the evidence had all been ad'
duced the case was as plain as the pro.

The men had stolen the cattle, had sold
them for $3T. No amount OF question
Ing could make the butcher who had
bought them say that 1t was $3.50 or
any other amount short of the origt

Then the mayor thus summed up the
case:

case. and the duty of the court is clear.
These men stole the cattle. They sold
them for S37 Taking the mere prima
