SIR: The republican convention

Such action is naRifeStly distasteful
to very large number of the people
OF this district.
At a meeting composed of large
number of republicans, duly organ

become candidate for Congress. The
grounds for this actiOn are shown ia
the accompanying preamble and resO-

Hoping to hear from you speedily,
We remain, respectfully,

The telegraph announces that Hon.
Lewis Hanback, will return home IN
time to attend the Downs conwentian.
We were little surprised at this, since
he carried the majority If the delegates
Of the sixth district SO largely, bat the
correspondent Of the Kansas Czty Jour-
nal still more surprises Is by an exhi-
bitaOa Of figures that locks alarming.
The love born Of perfect trust does not
exist in the sixth district. We quote:
Two years ID go these counties gave
Smith (republican) lO,144 votes for
Secretary of State; Gilbert (democratic)
Alb votes, and Elder (Greenback)
4,622 votes for the same office. it
will be seen that the Republican, Vote
was only 1903 la excess Of the com
bined opposition wee. The same &oan>
ties gave Anderson 10,54l, Yates for
Congress. while Moody (opposition} re-
ceised 6O44. and Smith 259, or a
corubiped opposition Of 6,3I2 votes.
Andersou's uDaj ,rity being 1925. The
vote for Secretary of State is by all
counted the tsirGst indication Of party
strength, but 10 new district like this,
it is hard to determine. Taking the
votes of the last house of representatives
[ End that the republican members res
ceived a total of 9,O39 votes in these
counties, while the Greenbackers, demo
Gratis and independents (the latter be-
ing demOcrats) received total Of 9.573

telegraphy, and obtained pupils by advcr-
tlsing for young men and women TO learn
