standpoint of unconditional subsection to the

for the durability of the alliance adds the

but that 1T expresses the friendship OF two
empires represented in the persons of their

The Second Ward Trouble.

It was not all harmony with the commit
tee on credentials. All the contrasting dele
cations from the First aldermanic district
of the Second ward appeared, and each
represented its particular side OF
the story. Finally it was decided
to admit the Johns ticket Chair
man Johnston reported in the convention
that there was only prima facie evidence to
show that Henry Johns, D. T. Reece, proxy
for John Cunningham, and S. A. Phillips
had credentials. A delegate named Burns
wanted the report adopted, but motion
was made permitting Mr.. Gerber, of
the ticket which received sixty-four
voIes, and all others interested,
to speak. Mr. Gerber said the
Judges, Messrs. Thompson and French, went
to the Clarendon hotel for supper before
they counted the returns, and did not give
their credentials until after IL o'clock. Mr..
Johns asserted that it was aScertained by
the Judges after they had counted the
tickets that the Gerber votes were mostly
Democratic. Mr. Lohenstein, of the
Fifth ward suggested that if the
Judges had permitted the votes
to be deposited without protest. they
should give credentials according to the
result of the count. lie wanted both the
Johns and Gerber tickets admitted. each
to be entitled to half a vote. This was

SENATOR RICE TALKS.
He Explains His Vote Om the Rail-
road Rsial.

Senator Rice. the candidate for lieutenant
governor OH the Republican ticket, was in
the city yesterday. In talk with GLOBE
reporter he said:
know the GLOBE to be fair paper and
deals with all parties squarely, but L think
you are getting my record on the railroad
bill mixed little. 1t is true, as stated in the
GLOBE, that l voted against Senator Hall S
amendment and also voted against concur
ting IN the house amendment, but l was not
opposed to an open market When the house
bill came back to the senate l moved, after
striking out two sections of the house bill,
to substitute it for the senate bill, and in sub
stantially the shape it was amended on my
motion it passed both houses and is the law
to-day. l opposed Senator Halls bill because
it did not provide for a railroad commission,
and in my opinion the bill that was passed
made sufficient provisions for an open ma y
ket. l ask the GLOBE to give me the benefit
of this statement, because ] know your paper
has large circulation and yields great
deal of influence. know you are fighting to
down Us, but | feel sure you are disposed to
make the fight in manly way.

To the Editor of the Globe:
a delegation of Scandinaviaus and Swedes
waited on Col j. H. Gieske, at his office last
evening, Oct. 4, to ascertain whether he
was in the field or not as candidate for
sheriff of Ramsey county this fall. They
said they had heard him spoken of in con-
nection with that Office quite frequently OF
late, but were not thoroughly satisfied OF its
veracity. They insisted on him running; and
said even the Republicans would give him
their vote for sheriff Gu the Democratic
ticket The Swede and Scandinavian clement
of Swede hollow and vicinity are universal in
their praise in behalf of the man from whom
they received such kindness and charity dur
ing the severest months of last winter. Mr.
G1eske was Informed last winter that great
restitution existed among the poorer classes
of Swede hollow, aud in many cases, had
neither food. fuel or Clothing. He waded
through two feet of snow and canvassed their
homes carefully, and found his information
correct. He at once commenced to admins
ter to their wants, and for three months he
STAYED by them; all those he could not per-
sonally subscribe to he went with them to the
relief society and called for help which was
given. The delegates said. Notwithstanding
his cleanj and tirst-class record as an old
staunch Democrat, they would give him their
unanimous support on general principles,
and if possible nominate him by acclamatfOn.

HOW MANY PEOPLE.
The Population Of Wichita Greater Than wa
Thought.

The enumerators for the city directory for
1886 are far enough along with their work to
have definite idea Of the result There was
considerable speculation last spring as to the
result of the census, which showed that the
city had between twenty and twenty -one
thousand. Many there were who declared
that there must be more people in Wichita
than was then returned, while there were
some people on the outside, people who bad
never been in the place, who made no bones
of declaring that the returns had been
cooked. For our own part we were
satisfied that the work had beeu honestly
done, but the assessor and his as
sistants were so long about it that
no doubt a thousand or more new corners
had taken up their abode in the wards first
taken before the last wards were finished
However that may be the snunerators on
the directory find that there win b fully
eight thousand names. Tho basis for esti
mating population BY the number OF names
appearing in business directory differs e
greatly With different towns that we are hft
/ In q great quandary as ever, but taking
! the lowest basis Of 8 ~ inhabitants for each
name in q directory, and Wichita must hSvs
. considerably greater number Of tnhahitant'

soon after arriving became acquainted with
lady who about three weeks ago became

a happy one, and no evidence to the contrary
became known until last Monday. He at
that time hunted up the marriage certificate
and cut his name out and deposited it in its
accustomed place. He did this short time
before train pulled out for the west which
he boarded, saying "good bye, wife"
Since the affair happened, a gentleman
