CHEVENNE, Wyo., July 11. J. H.
McKnightof Wicluta, Kan., who is a
state delegate to the ninth Traoa-Miasiss-ippi
congress from Kansas, was a vis
itor in tlie city yesterday, when inter
viewed on how the "McKinley prosperity
wan affecting Kansas, he said: "The Sil
ver Republicans in Kansas would un
doubtley support Mr. Bryan almost as a
unit if the election were held to-day.
The only indications of prosperity in Kan
!a are through splendid crops now prom
ised, in which McKinley's hand is not
shown. The Silver Republicans. Demo
crats and Populist will concentrate their
forces and unite on the several candidates
in the coming fall's election. There is
no question but that Mr. Bryan is the
rnost popular candidate of the people
to-day and will be their Moses to lead
tliem into good times in 1900."

Silver Republic-MM of Ohio Must Not
Pit l'p an Independent State Ticket.
WASHINGTON, July 13. Chair
mau Charles E. Town of the Silver Re
publican national committee, has tele
graphed tle secretary of tin Republican
Bimetallic league of Ohio that tfie na
tional organization of the Silver Re
publicans is heart ly opposed to an inde
lndent ticket in OWo. In an interview
to-night Mr. Towne baid:
"Rumors have reached Washington of
an intention by the silver Republicans of
Ohio to run a state ticket there thin fall.
The reports i incredible. I canot bolieve
that there is any rronsidarable number of
Silver Republicans ia Ohio so lost to the
demands of high principle and wise poli
tics as soberly to counsel a course that
would absolutely insure the return of
Hunna to the Senate and fix upon our
pnrtv the Main of cheap am'oitiou or pet
ty spite. Cop;dedly, the Democracy in
Ohio liave Trad torn unfortunate
moves, as. for 6:;amo!c. in not placing a
Htrong populitst on their ttcket. and tbey
may contemplate others. But they have
put the silver question unequivocally to
tlie fore aud they itand for the over
throw of Hannaism, tlie most loathsome
and dangerous influence in American poll
tics. In this juncture for any silver man
in Ohio to fail to do his uttermost for the
success of the Democratic state ticket
and the silver legislative ticket is,
as it seems to me, a political crime, these
views are, I belive, shared by every
prominent Silver Republican in the Unit
ed States. There will be no Silver Re
publican state ticket in Ohio if the na
tooal organization can prevent It."
