Inc Fnll Cnnipiilcn.
TorEKA , Aug. 24. [ Special to THE BEE. ]
The overshadowing issue of Kansas politics
in the next campaign wlllbo woman sultrago ,
to bo voted on In November , 1894. The ques
tion was submitted in the form of a constitu
tional amendment by the legislature last
winter. The resolution was agreed to by the
populist' senate and the republican house ,
and both these parties are therefore prac
tically eomtnlHpd to It as a party policy , and
may bo expected , to incorporate it in their
respective platforms. This will , however ,
not insure the adoption of ttio amendment ,
as thcro'iu anuntlereurroritofprotestagalnst
it in the ranks of both these parties , which
la encouraged by the open opposition to the
amendment of the democratic party and the
German population.
The Germans havo'orKanlzcd a league for
the especial uurooso of lighting the woman
suffrage.iiondmont and of working , as usual ,
for U rcsubmlsslon of the liquor question.
They announce that if the democrats will
take the same stand they will go in with
thorn and become democrats.
A Uhinoo Tor the Democrat * .
As opposition to thcso two questions is in
line witb. the democratic policy , the party
will , of course , fall in with the scheme ,
hoping not alone to regain its former light
ing position in the state , but also to caryr
the election. Thus the women at the outset
of the carapaln will bo uiot with an organ
ized force combating their efforts. They
have , therefore , taken time by the forelock ,
and on September 1 and S will , at Kansas
City , Kan. , formally open the campaign ,
fourteen months in advance of the election.
Notwithstanding the obstacles whicti
present themselves in the way of the success
of the movement , the women are very hope
ful and seem to regard ttio victory as
already won. Mrs. Laura M. Johns , presi
dent of the Kansas Equal Suffrage associa
tion , says the interest of the men has been
rovcalod in substantial contributions to the
campaign fund and in pledges of help. Men
in highest olUcial positions huvo proffered
assistance. The interest of women , too , she
says , has been quickened by the prospect of
success.
Working the Mmi for VotoB.
One plan of operation the women have
adopted is to solicit the men to sign pledges
to vote for the amendment. Mrs. Johns
says already 40,000 names have been secured ,
and she confidently looks for the list to
swell to 100,000 by the time all the
county fairs and public gatherings
will have been visited this fall.
It is the intention to give every
man of the 800,000voters in the state a
chance to sign this roster or give a reason
for not doing so. By this summary process
the \tomcn have got the men scared'and it is
no trbublo to got names' .
As Mrs. Johns says , should the amendment -
mont carry , the law of recompense will bo
applied to politicians who rpf use to sign.
All the Kansas state officers have signed
this pledge except Lieutenant Governor
Daniels , who gives as his reason for declin
ing that the platform of the people's party
is already loaded down and ho thinks noth
ing moro should bo added to it. But ho
will change his mind before the mon got to
lighting for iho offices next year. Ho
is a candidate for United States
senator. The women may depend
upon the politicians to stand by them ,
through fear , if no other reason. The op
position's only hope is in the mon who expect
no political preferment and art ) not afraid of
public or newspaper criticism.
Cimh for the Campaign.
Mrs. Johns says the women will have
plenty of money with which tocarry on their
campaign. They will not need much before
next February , when it will begin to roll in ,
not from Kansas people , out from sympa
thizers all over the United States. This
year the national society will havetogivo
much of its fund to Colorado , whoroa similar
amendment will bo voted on this fall , but
next your money , speakers and all other In-
Huoncou at the command of the society will
bo sent to Kansas.
At the mooting at Kansas City next week
such noted women as Susan 13. Anthony ,
Mary E. Lcaso , Anna L. Diggs , Carrie Lova
Chapman , Emma H. Dovoo. ' Her. Eugenia
St. John and others will bo 'present. After
this mooting tbo same speakers * will visit
the stato.fair , county fairs , picnics and other
public gatherings , concluding the fall cam
paign November 8 , U and 10 at the annual
mooting of the Kansas Equal Suffrage asso
ciation. Then the women will rest until
February , when they will start In again and
keep up the fight until election day in No
vember following.

WASHINGTON. Aug. . 24. j
Agencies nro at work to bring about n
compromise on the silver question. It is
proposed to repeal the present silver pur
chasing act nnd pass n law "which wll } sim
ply authorize the secretary of the treasury
within a given number of years to purchase
800,000,000 ounces of domestic sliver at * .cur
rent prices In suuh quantities and nt such
times as ho may select , and to Issue upon
the bullion , certificates. It is claimed that
this compromise will moot the.approval . - of
President Cleveland and Unit it'will Satisfy
the ultra free colnago advpcl los * in the
senate. It would definitely determine the
future policy of this government by fixing
the termination of silver purchases.
It is stated that the proposed compromise
has boon looked ever by loadersof the two
extreme wings of the senate , and that they
nro awaiting the arrival of .Senator Morgan
of Alabama , who is on his way 'hero from
Paris , where he has boon serving on the
Bering sea question. Senator Morgan'is for
free colnago. Should tfiis compromise bo
affected it will contemplate the adoption of
the Voorhocs national bank circulation bill
without amendment. >
IIiul to Tnko Their Own Meillolno.
Senator Pottlgrow of South , . Dakota has
succeeded in thoroughly "rubbing In" on
certain democratic senators their national
platform plank providing for the appoint
ment of residents of territories and states to
the federal offices therein located. During
the Harrison administration Senator Petti-
grow defeated the confirmation of the nomi
nation of a land officer for Oklahoma on the
ground that the nominee was not a resident
of that territory. The other day President
Cleveland nominated a resident of West Vir-
clnla to a land ofllco on the Cherokee Strip.
Yesterday the house passed a joint resolu
tion extending certain laws over the Chcro
keo Qutlot and sent it ever to the senate ,
where it was referred to the committee on
public laims.
Senators Petttgrow and Carey " by mar
shaling the republicans of the committee
succeeded it securing an amendment to the
resolution providlnc that appointments to
ofttccs in the Cherokee Outlet and the terri
lories should bo made Irom the residents
thereof. The democratic members of the
committee fought bitterly agaii.st the
amendment notwithstanding the fact that
Senator Pettinrew called their attention
lo their action two1 years ago in
assisting him to defeat Iho conllrma-
lion of a nominalion made by Presi
dent Harrison on the ground that
the nominee was not a resident of the lorri-
tory to which ho was appointed. An effort
was made this morning to have the Joint
resolution called upon Iho floor of tbo senate
and adopted without reference to the amend
ment , but Senator Manderson offered an ob
jection and the resolution went over. The
democrats will now have to either go back
on the record they ruado during the last ad
ministration , opposing nominations for terri
torial offices madu from citizens of the states ,
and thereby slap President Cleveland in the
face or support 'tho amendment nnd defeat
ono of President Cleveland's nominations.

Work of Clovelnnd'n Frlcntli.
Free silver men say the refusal of the
senate to scat Lee Mantle , the appointed
senator from Montana , was the result of
efforts upon the part of President Clove-
land's friends who are workingo for the un
conditional repeal of liio silver [ law. The
refusal lo scat Mantle indicates that the
democratic majority is afraid of reInforcing -
ing the free colnago ranks with
an addition of three votes. The sonata's
actionj on the Mantloncicaso will
leave three states with but ono
senator each for n period of ono year and
only a half a vote for each state on nil linan-
cial , tariff and local legislation. The ques
tion hero is whether Governor Osborno of
Wyoming will refuse to call an extra session
of the legislature to elect a senator In that
state , through the fear that Inaction will
disturb tlio financial situation there , and
stir up public sentiment against the democ
racy , or is ho afraid of the election of a re
publican if the legislature is convened ?
Itiildlne the I'flimlon Itollg.
No effort is to bo made by President Cleve
land's authorized agents In congress to se
cure legislation intended to crlpplo the pen
sion rolls. The worit of "raiding iho pension
list" is to bo conducted under existing laws
nt the pension ofllcu. President Cleveland
Ilrsl Bocured a Georgian without a war
record as secretary of the interior , who di
rects all pension action and really 'assumes
the responsibility for it , and then ho se
lected a Minnesota ox-union soldier as com
missioner of pensions , and this northern ox-
unionist is to act ad the party scapegoat.
An effort was made in the last congress
to got n' fair test of the temper of the house
upon pension legislation , A northern demo
crat offered n number of propositions looking
toward a reduction of the pension list , and
all were voted down. A fair and snuaro
vote w&s made upon'nil of the preliminary
stops loading toward a decrease of pension
appropriations. Eight or ten of the most
plausible- propositions were voted down by
a majority averaging throe-fifths of the
house. Some of them received a two-thirds
majority. It then became apparent to the
democrats that their proposed "reform" of
the pension list would have to coma through
the pension office and not through congress ,
Of course the senate , which 'was ' 'than ' republican -
publican , would have dofoatod' all "pVoposi-
tlons to wrongfully out down the pension
list , but It was plain that oven tho'house ,
with its enormous1 democratic majority ,
would refuse to out and slash the' pension
rolls as proposed by the Incoming democratic
admiustration.
Democrat ! Are Powerlosi. ,
The senate is now democraticby a major
ity of lire or six. It would be impossible ,
however , to get any measure through thai
bpdy looking toward a revision'1 of the
pension list , as there are eight or ten north
ern democratic senator * who would be re
tired to private life if they countenanced the
raid which oven now is being made upon
pensioners.
When Speaker Crisp announced the com
mittees of the house , on Monday last , and it
was seen that a majority of the committee
on invalid pensions would not favor any leg
islation intended to reduce pensions and Mr
Martin of Indiana was retained as chairman
of that committee , it was then known thai
all hope of legislation upon pension ques
tlons was abandoned by this administration
There is no doubt that a Joint resolutioc
could bo pasted through both branches o
congress condemning ( tie present method !
Of the pension oQlco in dropping pensioner :
from the roll before they are given n hear
ing if such n m/fiSHro could reooivo consider-
itlon ; but the 'commit too on rules in the
house would never suffer any Joint resolu
tion , which mljtbocorao a law , to receive
consideration , f
Thus pension matters , so far as congress
is concerned , nro In statu quo. The raid
upon the ponslftucr will continue , bat it will
continue without either the sanction or con
demnation of congress. H Is a question
whether President Cleveland would sign
any measure relating to pensions which did
not direct n reduction of the rolls ; but there
Is no question in the minds of these who
have talked to him as to whether ho would
defeat legislation In congress which might
embarrass him If sent to the white house in
the form of an adopted bill. The work of
cutting down th.q .Mansion. list is to goon
under the dlrcct'lin of the president , but
that pcrsonago will continue to evade the di
rect responsibility fdf it. and the men In
congress who have the power to pass n bill
putting n stop to the raid or putting the
president in a hole by compelling him to refuse
fuse to sign It , will also look ou at the work
and cvado direct responsibility.

of the repeal bill are conlldont that the
chances foivtho passage of the unconditional
repeal bill through the senate are improving.
A domocrallc member from a southern state ,
who is : v very earnest opponent of uncondi
tional repeal , said that it was his opinion ,
although no regretted tj say it , that the bill
for repeal would finally pass the senate.
' But , " ho added , "If a lew moro speeches
llko that of Mr. Voorhees are made in be
half of the repeal bill Ihe bill will corlainly
bo killed. "
The administration has been very unfortu
nate in its leaders , Mr. Voorhocs , as chair
man of the committee on finance , in view of
his fiat money record , his opposition to na
tional banks and his opposition to every
thing which the friends of sound money in
sist upon as necessary to a wise financial
policy , is likolv to injure the cause of repeal.
Whether or not IftrfcSn carry any votes with
him besides his own is yet to bo determined.

declares himself for unconditional repeal ,

THEY SHOUTED FOR SILVER
White Metal Enthusiasts Listen to Ciceronian
Outbursts at Jefferson Square ,
CNE SPEAKER IMITATED GOVERNOR WAITE
Wanted KiiomlcR of Silver Shot on the Spot
No lllood llntlnVcro ( llvrn Hc.io-
lutlom Adopted Mayor
Itcinln * A
The free and unlimited colnago of sliver
held full sway In this city las' night , and
for moro than two hoiiM 5,000 mon stood in
Jefferson park and listened to the discussion
of the question which has been agitating
the minds of the financiers and the common
people of the country.
As soon as the meeting was called to order ,
Mayor Bomls was introduced nnd spoku , in
part.as follows :
" 1 am proud of the honor you confer upon
mo by .asking mo to prosldo at this meeting ,
called to consider the question which Is now
agitating , tHls great country. „
"In seeking for the causes which have pro
duced these stringent financial conditions in
this country .wo may find a remedy. 1 be
lieve the condition is greatly aggravated by
an almost entire loss of conlldcnco , on the
part of the musses of the people , In the
present administration. There is as much
money in tlio country now as there was a
year ago , but the people have taken alarm ,
not without cause , nnd have withdrawn a
lareo portion of it from circulation. I do
not agree with Senator Voorhcos when ho
says thatitho Sherman law Is the solo cauuo
ol' this financial crisis , but I bcllovo tint the
fear of the people that this administration
would lake some radical slops on the money
and tariir questions has precipitated a crisis
which has' boon growing upon us over since
the Infamous-demonetization of silver in 1ST ; ) .
"For the last twenty years there have
been three parties in this country the re
publican , the democratic and the gold party.
The gold party has acted as a unit and has
controlled the other two parties , electing
presidents , controlling leglslallon and
enriching itself until the poor have become
poorer and the rich richer.
Proiioiinooil In Ills Vlows.
"I bellovo in silver first , last and all the
time. That is my platform. I boliovoin the
free coinage of it , too. I only wish all my
realty was in silver instead of in dirt. [ Ap-
plauso. ]
"Thero arc Issues which , llko the ghost of
Bauquo , will not down. The silver question
still remains the ijroat living issue , but the
way it has been ignored , ovadcd aud thrust
aside by both the democratic and republican
parties , oue migtit suppose it was already
settled , if not dead and forgotten. But no
question Is over settled until it is settled
ritrht. The great wrong done to the people
b. " the demonetization act of 187i ! remains to
be righted. This can only bo done by re-
endowing silver with its true money function
and making it , as was intended by tlio con
stitution , co-equal with gold for all money
purposes. The cry of 'cheap silver,1 'a dis
honest dollar " 'a sound '
, or even currency ,
will no longer deceive , neither will dear gold
as the measure of values bo longer tolerated.
Dear gold means cheap men , cheap property ,
hard times , low wages aud general stagna-
llon. This country does not want inono-
inctilllsm. ; Bimetallism cannot bo aban
doned by the 450 representatives of the
people now m congress assembled. They
were elected by the people ou a platform of
bimetallism. "
Crisis Will Cure Itsolf.
"It has been suggested that the president
called congress together a month sooner
than was originally intended because there
was a fear that the panic would cure itself
before they could get together , and I begin
to think it would have done so. If they
make as much headway as they have done
since the 7th hist , the diseased financial con
dition will have cured itself before they
accomplish anything.
"If congress does not soon change the
financial condition of the country by some
wise legislation in the way of bimetallism or
silver coinage , I will take the stump for
laper money based ou unskilled labor.
IWild and tumultuous applause. ] The
American flag aud the olllcial government
stamp make anything a good circulating
medium , either silver , paper or gold. The
critical condition of the country requires
immediate action nnd congress should aban
don its dilatory tactics and undo the mis
chief it did in 1873. when the dcmonotizalion
of silver was effeclod by congress witnout
the knowledge of moro than two or three
members and without the Knowledge of the
president. All this comes through the con
trol of the money of the country by Iho gold
barons of Wall street. The question is :
Shall wo have money based on an article
accessible lo all , through the mines of this
great country , or a bank credit currency
created , contracted arid expanded as the
interest of the banks alone may dictate ? I
say give us irold und silver at the old ratio
that existed up lo 187 ! . "
iTotl'orHon'it Silver Tendencies.
Paul Vandorvoort upon being called to the
platform , said oven as long ago as during the
time of Thomas Jefferson , that gentleman
had declared in favor of the free and un
limited coinage of sliver. The continental
congress had declared in favor of the same
principles , urging that silver was the money
for the people , In 1873 , ho declared that
ihcro was a transforming of water inlo
blood , and since that time the loaders of the
great political parties had been bending the
knee lo iho golden calf , slriking down iho
dollar of the poor people and turning gold
Into iho coffers of the rich.
J. W. Edgortou when called to the
speaker's stand made the statement that ho
was glad to lay aside all party feeling and
aiscuss a question that was of interest to
the musses. The country , ho believed , was
confronted with the greatest danger that It
had ever boon called upon to face , and the
only thing to do was to arise nnd strike off
the yoke that the British government was
striving to place upon the nocks of the
American people. In 1873 the English gov-
ernmeui had demanded Iho demonetization
of silver und Iho congress of the United
States had given that government Just what
it had asked. Mr. lEdgerlou insisted that
the ratio should bo 10 to I , with free and un
limited coinage , and then the mines of the
west and all of the silver industries would
again bo upon their feet.
Judge Ong of Geneva mot with a rousing
reception as ho stopped to the front of the
platform , out before ho had spoken live
minutes the cheers changed to jeers and
hisses , simply because ho had started in on
a democratic speech , A howl went up from
the uudlonco that the gathering was for the
purpose of holding.a sliver mooting , and that
politics was not to bo discussed , The Judge
caught the cue , and for half an hour ho
talked silver , closing with the statement
that iho man now in congress who voted
against free and unlimited coinage , provided
ho came from the west , -would dig his own
political grave.
Uiucnll Got In a Howl.
Councilman Hascall urged that the gold
men had been v trying to gull the people ol
iho country aud that they had gone so far aa
to enlist some of the Omaha preachers in
the undertaking. Ho remembered huviuf
seen a sign over the door of a church whlcl
read , "Hayo faith in gold , " That preacher ,
ho opined , would a bo given ono of the hot
test seats In hades and would bo compelled
to do most of the firing. The national bank
system , Mr. Hascall declared , was the curse
of the country and the laws under which
It operated were for the t purpose of mak
ing tlio rich richer and the poor poorer
Blalnowasa silver man and was defeated
that tho'gold men might have a man who
would advance their interests. la paying a
tribute to President Cleveland , the speaker
declared that he was a mugwump and would
rater spend his time at Buzzard's Bay
catching fish than staying at the natlona
capital , attending to his duties.
Short speeches wore made by Champion 8
Chase and James H. ICynor. both of whom
declared in favor of free and unlimited coin
ngo. The latter named gentleman caught
the crowd by declaring that he was in favor
of shooting on the spot the first man who
would vote m favor of demonetizing tbo sll
ver dollar.
Jteiolutloni Rather Sllrerr.
Just before the adjournment of tha moot
ing , the following resolutions , preceded by a
loner preamble , were introduced by V. O
Strickier , member of the eiooutlve commit-
too , and upon n vote bolng taken they were
unanimously adopted :

This was the final act , aud as the curtain

vhllo the crowd broke Into little kiTots and
teed upon the street corners discussing

Ho then turned his attention to Mr.
Jyiium , nnd his allusions to lhat gentleman
mt Iho house in a roar. It was not neces
sary for him to read any number of speeches
nado by that gentleman under the prior ad-
nlntslralion. Ho would content himself
vith referring to whatliis own eyes had
vitucsscd. Ho would not go back into old
ilstory. Ho would go back only to October ,
8'Jl , when Mr. Bynum of Indiana , Mr.
Hack of Pennsylvania , and Mr. Wilson of
West Virginia were advertised to make a
our through the country for the purpose of
organizing democratic clubs. How warmly
ho people of Denver had treated these
nen. They had been treated to bed and
board. [ Laughter. ] Then Mr. Bynum had
addressed the largest audience that had
ever assembled in Denver. In the Uocky
ountain News was a stenographic report
if his speech , in which ho said : " 1 have
Uways been in favor of the free colnago of
silver. I have voled for free coinage from
ho limo Iho question has boon be-
'oro congress , and I will do so
every - time the question comes up.
Laughter and applause. ] Ho ( Mr. Pence )
.rusted the teacher would not rebuke the
scholar when ho ventured to tell him the
Hiostion had now como up. [ Applause and
aughtcr. ] There was a portrait o.f ttio gon-
Ionian from Indiana published in the paper ,
but us ho ( Pence ) was a litllo man and Iho
volume was a largo ono , ho could not hold it
up for the inspection of the houso. [ Laugh
er. ] But ho would ask unanimous consent to
lave it reproduced in the Congressional Hec-
ord. In this picture was represented a silver
dollar , audit was supported how ! By the
nanly feet and legs oT the gentleman from
ndiana. Whoso arms were these that
iclped to support itf The arms of the gen
tleman from Indiana. [ Laughter. ] Whoso
'ace was this ? Whoso eyes were these {
Those of .Mr. Bynum. Aud beneath was tbo
ascription' : "Have always voted for free
coinage and always will. "
Hud Leirnud HIM l.osson W 1I.
The gentleman from Indiana had taught
lim ( Pence ) his lessons and ho declined to
L'ulroat from their teachings. [ Applause. ]
Jut ho began to understand why and how
t was that a democratic president elected
on a silver platform , absolutely and without
'car of contradiction , commanded a majority
to surrender. The president well understood
the favors ho had lo dispose of anil Iho
means at his command. The president did
not hcsitalo ; ho felt bravo. The platform
to the winds I Ho would turn down the
llatforml Bravo was IIP as was the slug
gard who was told to KO to Iho ant. The
sluggard replied : "That would bo a waste
of time ; I'd rather sit down by my pie and
lot the ant coma to mo. " [ Applause and
lauchter. ]
Mr. Pence then paid his respects to Sen
ator Voorhees nnd criticised him for the
position ho had taken. Ho could not but bo
reminded ( since Voorhcns had taken the
name stand ns Sherman ) of an artii-lo
written by the senator and published in
the North American Iloviow denouncing
Shnrman as the financial weathercock of
the nation. [ Laughter and applause. ] And
then there was no wonder that the ordinary
people could find no , distinction between Iho
present secretary of the treasury , Mr.
Carlisle , and Mr. Sherman. The story of
the temptation of Mr. Carlisle would be ono
of the -saddest in the history of the country.
In this connection hu quoted an anccdoto
about a stranger in a small town. Ho
wanted to go to church. Ho came to a white
church on which was the inscription "Luth
eran Church. " lie came to n brown church
on which was the inscription ' 'Lutheran
Church. " Ho returned to his tavern and
asked the proprietor how it was in so small
n town there were two Lutheran churches.
The landlord remarked they looked alilte ,
but were not alike. "In the white church , "
said ho , "thoy bolluvo the serpent tempted
Eve and Eve tempted Adam , in the brown
church they believe Adam was a Uul : ugg
from the start. " [ Laughter and applause. )
Air. ltyiuiMi'8 Jtcply.
Mr. Bynum replied lo the stricture niado
upon him and upon his seeming Inconsistency
but ho did so in a Jouular vein , and with
evident appreciation of the Colorado man's
humor , lie admitted ho had Hpoken In Denver -
vor in IS'Jl and that ho had addressed one of
the largest audiences ho had ever faced. Ho
had in the fall of thai year Ihc pleasure of
making n tour of the continent with several
other gentlemen in order to establish demo
cratic clubs. Evory.whoro they had boon
hospitably received , and by the time they
reached Denver ho might have been ( smil
ingly and Jocularly ) irnjspotiBlblo , When
they arrived at Denver they were shown the
sights of the city , and a mora. . magnificent
city ho had rarely seen. Ho had admired
the beauty of tlio city anil had asked ,
"What means all thlsi" The reply was ,
"It means silver : it is built on silver. "
"But , " ho replied , " 1 am making a tariff
campaign. "
"But , you can say something about silver , "
and ho had done so. Ho confessed his sins
and asked forgiveness. [ Laughter. ]
Pence retorted that no understood the
excuse the gentleman had for his utterances
that night. Ho hoped the gentleman would
not have to plead any such excuse for his
Tote on the pending question , [ Applause. ]
Johnson of Indiana and Avery spoke In
favor of the repeal and then the house took
a recess uutll 8 o'clock.
At the evening session of the house.
Swansou , democrat , of Virginia , favored
carrying out the Chicago platform.
Maddox , democrat , of Georgia , opposed
the Wilson bill , and spoke for free silver , as
did Grady , democrat , of North Carolina.
Kem , populist , of Nebraska , favored free

Gooree' Washington Murray of South Carolina
lina , tlio only colored representative in

Another Wilton In Trouble.
C. 1C. Wilson was arrested yesterday for
obtaining money under false pretenses. The
complaining witness is D. M. Vinsonhalor ,
in attorney who has an oflloo in the Now

Last October Wilson Is alleged to
lave come to Omaha with forged Itnlghts
if Pythias lottcra and soon worked himself
nto the coed graces of the local knights.
Ho got Mr. Vinsonhalcr to endorse two
drafts , ono for & 25 and the other for
H50 , upon alleged false roprcstnitations.
Wilson got the money and his endorser
lad to pay the drafts. It was learned that
the fellow was a fraud and had worked the
samogamo in Chicago and elsewhere.
Yesterday Wilson mot 1 < \ P. Good
