That Injunction Plank.

Here is a plank drawn by former Mayor
Dunno of Chicago and which ne will pre-
sent to the Denver convention He says
Bryan requests his membership Of the
committee on resolutions. 1t is believed
therefore, his plank meets Bryan's ap-
proval:
The right of q court Of chanoery where
property rights are involved TO intervene
and protect the gtatu quo between ntt-
gants IL unquestioned, but no such writ
should issue ex-parte, and without notice,
except whore it 10 clearly made TO appear
that trrsparable injury will result unless
notice, and In such case the motion to
dissolve such injunction shall take preoe-
dence OF all other legal business In the
court issuing such injunction ana shall
be heard ana determined before any other
business is considered in such court, In
all cases where injunctions are issued,
with or without notice, an ample bond
shall be eHacted of complainant sufficient
to cover all damages resulting to defend
ant from the issuance OF such a writ, in
oludlng reasonable attorneys fees incurred
in moving to dissolve said writ. In all
proceedings for contempt for violation OF
an injunction, en1oining the commission
of any act, hich at the common law or
not committed in the presence OF the
court, the defendant shall be entitled TO
q jury trial upon the issue Of fact az TO
whether or not he has committed such
crime, and thus violated such injunction.
We favor the passage OF law amending
the chancery practice so as TO secure
these results.

sage from James Bryce, the British Am
bassador, and NJ Jusserand, the French
ambassador, expressing their regrets at

leave the country for their homes to at
tend to governmental business. Their COM
pliments and regrets are thus to be Off
cially extended TO the democratic party as
an evidence that no discrimination was in
tended as both diplomats attended the Chi
cago gathering.
Mr.. Barrett intends to urge the resolu-
tions committee of the convention to IN
corporate a plank IN the platform pledging

| Latln-American countries to the south.

SUCCESSION is BIG PROBLEM
south Dakota Republicans Puzzled
what TO DO TO Fill Parker's
Place.

MITCHELL, S. d, July 5.-(Special)-
Not before in the political history Of the
state has a similar situation confronted the
leaders of the republican party as at the
present time. through the death of Colonel
William Parker whose term In congress
would have expired In March, 1853. II is
contended by one portion of the insurgent
wing of the republican party that Wilbur
S. Glass of watertown ought to be named
for the unexpred term, Notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.. Glass was defeated in the
primary for the nomination. His friends in
the northern part of the state are pushing
him into the limeight for the endorsement
of the republican convention in this city
July Il. Many of the insurgents concede
that either L. W. Martin, who halls from
the western part Of the state, or Charles
II. Burke, who received the highest num-
Der of votes for the member of the house.
should be the logical successor to the va
cant congressional position. The primary
law does not yield the right Of the state
convention to pick the successor Of the late
Mr.. Parker, In fact 1t is silent on such a
situation, but the convention has the right
to indicate it's choice The proceedings fol-
lowing will be just the same as in the recent
| primary-a petition will have to be circu-
lated and the candidate voted for at the
November election to fill the vacancy. 1t is
claimed that II Martin or Burke are Sc
| lected for the successor of Mr.. Parker a
long step will be taken in the direction of
closing the breach between the factions of
| the party. 1t might likewise lessen the
chances for the stalwarts to become luke
warm on the candidacy of Governor Craw-
ford for the senate. It is believed the state
convention will handle this situation in such
a manner as to relieve the governor being
endangered for his seat in the United States

MADISON AND STANTON SCRAP
Two Counties CIaip Right 20 Furnish
Candidate for Senate.

NORFOLK, Neb.. July 5.-(Special)-
Rather a peculiar political fight has de-
veloped in the Eleventh Nebraska state
senatorial district. c, A. Randall Of Madt-
son county is a candidate for the republi-
can nomination to succeed himself while
republicans of Stanton county say that this
is their year, by virtue of long established
precedent, TO select the republican nomi-
nee. They have presented the name of b.
Y. Appleby and are solidly supporting him.
The Eleventh district consists OF Madi-
son, Stanton, Pierce and Wayne counties.
1t has always been the custom for each
county to take its turn in rotation in fur
nishing the republican candidate. Appleby q
friends say they were told by Randall be-
fore any announcements were made that
II Stanton county wanted the place, he
would waive his candidacy, realizing that
It was Stanton's turn. Randall IS not ad-
NIT he made this promise. Appleby an
nounced himself first, followed shortly by
Randall who says his record in reform
work entities him to a second term. Wayne
and Pierce counties are practically neutral
as yet. Madison county republicans and
papers are divided, some supporting Ran
dali and some contending that In good
faith the nomination must go to Stanton
county
Appleby's friends point out that IN
twenty-five years Madison county has had
six senators, Stanton county only one
Wayne four and Pierce two.
