A lightning fash out of a clear sky coult
scarcely have had more startling effec
than the publication Of the above Demo,
cratic ring ticket in yesterdays ISrELLI'
GESoRR. Those whose interests would have
been injured by the triumphant carrying
out Of the ring scheme, and the endorse
ment Of the slate by the convention, con-
graduated themselves that the expos.
ure OF the programme would work
It's defeat, and they rubbed their
hands ia glee. In the camp Of these
who desired to see the ring triumph there
was CONSERVATION and dire dismay. Some
Of them said some fool had given the snap
away; others aveued that traitor had be.
trayed them into the hands OF the enemy.
Everywhere ths give away" was discussed
with interest, and its possible effect was
speculated On with more or less anxiety.
WHAT THEY SAID.
A lew gentlemen who do not like to be
caught mapping said tha, within day or
two they had heard whispers Of some suuh
ticket as the result OF "a ring caucus, Of
which Mr. Henry G. Davis, Senators Cam
den and Kenna and! !Slr. Lewis Baker could
give the inside il they world. Recollec-
tiops Of the Banum's hotel Senatorial
Caucus were revived by this most recent
addition 10 the "slate literature" OF The
Bourbon pary in West Virginia. Some
very strong denuuciations OF ring methods
were indulgcd III, though the mSjority OF
Democrats did not desIte to be quoted as
in that state OF mind. Some OF item said
1t was o good ticket, and would win; others
doubted or pretended to. doubt that any
slate had been liked up. Everybody was
ANXIOUS to know how. the lNTELLIGGScER
gothold oI.it.
One Democrat said: II knew they wero
fixing up slate, but did not expect TO
see All Caldwel's name on il. You know
this ls 8 hgisIer ring ticket, and Caldwell
and tie Reyi.tcr people don't pull together
very well. Sume Of his friends were deter
mined that he should 60 before the conven-
ti0n, because OF his ability as u lawyer, his
rarty services and his strength in the
Northern Pan Handle. The h9iaSr crowd
couldn't beat him in Ohio county. He has
strong frieNds in Hancock and Brooke also,
who don't 20 much on the Register party.
I'll give you another little pointer; Of
course you know that ALI Caldwell and
William Q. Handlan, candidate ior Sheriff,
have not been what might be called happy
family. They have recently fixed up their
differences, and 1t looks little as though
they had entered into an alliance offensive
and defensive. Now, II they pull together,
needn't tell you that they will be too
strong s. team for the Rsgfster people to
clean out in Ohio county. Haudlan
already has the GAll on the convention, and
! done know OF anybody who is likely to
have strength enough 10 beat him. The
ringsterB must have got wind OF what was
going on. At all events they knew that
Celdwell's friends meant to bring him 10
the iToat, and that he would
not protest. You soc what a
slick trick it was to slap him on
the ticket, and so silence what might have
been very ugly opposition. This is a
ltN GO bill tHpn htKHa SIata. nrn
y Brien is bird No. 9. You know how the
Reytticr folks love him, and you ought to
know that they keep q well ground razor
ready to use on him. Col. Q'Rrien would |
accept q rene4iration,. but 1t is not IN.
tended 10 let him have it. | don't think |
he would put himself much out OF the way
to got it, either. bat he will probably ap-
preciate the ring compliment.
An EDITORIAL WHICH WoS'r APREAR.
An IXTEtLIdENcER reporter met another
Democrat, whose lace wore q ten.acre
smile "rhat was very fine ticket you had |
in the INTELMGENcRR this morning, Nav,
be you don't know it apse, 4 powerful edi-
tosial that was shortly to appear in the
Rsgislr."
"Sorry for that" said the repoEteg,
"Yus. The ARTICLE waa to Dwell on the
OF the next Democratic can.
dIdate for Governor-a man In good cir
of experience in public life,
and above all things identified with the
development Of the State. DON'T you see
that les in Henry &. Davis. Now sup.
pose tGat Idea viii be hung up in the Regis
lr Office 10 await later developments.
Nov don't you go and Jayhawk me"
A Democrat who seemed to be good
deal stirred up, but declipe9 to be quoted,
said: "l think that is mighty good ticket,
aud your paper only gave It away because
It was afraid Of it,"
