The Mass Convention.


The '.peoplcs's" convention. so cali
ed. met at the fair grounds last Sa,ur-
day and put in nomination ticket.
So like wet blanket fell its action up
on the men in this city who engineer
ed it, that for the present we shall for
bear wasting any ammunition upon the
way il was gotten up, the manner of
its control or the chsgrin now felt by
leading spirits in the move. We are
happy 10 say that but very few repub-
licans participated in the affair. outside
Of those having Interior designs or
who were disappointed personally by
the other convention. The republic
cans of the county are just ms solid and
Just as confident As they were before
the mass convention was held. Only
such republicans as have voluntarily
left the republican party, without
sign Of excuse. accepted nominations
at the hands of their congenial demo-
cratic brethren and only such uien as
really feel out of the republican party
will support the ticket made up of a
majority of democrats by con-
yention. whose whole purpose
was the destruction of the republican
organization Of Sedgwick county and
the perpetuation OF certain rings.
Below we give the ticket nominated.
Against the men as individuals We
