WHERE TO GET TICKETS.
At the meeting of the state central COM
mittee last evening it was decided that
Senator Kelley issue tickets to delegations
and others at room 101, Carey hotel, COM
mencing at a. N.
On the stage will be some of the leading
men of the state and members of the press,
those representing daily papers on theright
| side of the stage, with suitable accommo-
dations. Music will be furnished by the
Knights of Pythias band If the work of
the convention is completed before supper
a political love feast will be held at the
| evening session, at which short
| speeches will be in order from the best
speech making ability present. The tick
cts for the day are good for the evening.
There seems to be no doubt, however, but
that the committee will complete its work
in the afternoon and the night meeting
| will be an all round Republican rally.
POLITICAL PULsATIONs.
A number of the leading gentlemen to
be found yesterday were interviewed, with
| the following result:
The Hon. T. S. Haun, Hodgman county
Governor Smith has surprising strength,
| l,,,& i,,, 7 hal To
will lead him. Humphry and Johnson
have their friends there. Some of the old
boys have gone with Smith, but they are
out of their element, as the boys" DOM
follow-they are against him.
The Hon. VIM. Edwards. of Pawnee
county-Johnson seems to have the lead
in our county, but Smith and Taylor are
recognized as having good following.
Well, as to the first man for president,
Gresham is fast growing in favor in the
west. Above all we want winner and
should base our action great deal on the
desires of the delegates from the doubtful
states,
The Hon. Frank f. Gillett, of Kingman
My county will support Taylor. Second
| choice, whoever the southwest desires.
| AS to presidential preferences l think l
| am safe in saying I will support the NOM
| inee l think they will get good man
and put out good platform Outside Of
Blaine have no choice. Quite a number
of good men are being considered. Think
Blaine's withdrawal and subsequent
events units him for candidate. 1t
would look too muck like political juglery.
| The fact of his withdrawal caused many
1 70 cfro Gn
men, and in withdrawing he should mean
in the light of dark horse,
| when. in fact, he is not. That
convention should come together for care
fnl consideration of the situation. The
party will adopt the honest work of an
honest convention.
B Scmierle, treasurer Of Wyanadotte
county-We have no especial choice, Green
and Humphrey have some following down
our way and Anthony comes in for share.
| We don't know Bradford as being can
didate We like to obey the law just like
| Wichita does. We want j. NJ Heathery
| for attorney general and will do all in our
power for him and Wyandotte asks moth
| ing here but wants H. S. Alden to repre-
sent the second congressional district.
Colonel Phillips, of Salina, chairman of
delegation-We are not tied to anyone for
delegate at large, and as to the Chicago
convention, we have no special pref
| erence. We want to consult with
result will suit us / am for any one who
can carry doubtful states.
Have not made up my mind for gov
ernor and Smith comes from an adjoining
county and is good man. Our delega-
ton for state convention IS figuring on
Mrs. Caruthers for state superintendent.
They will work for her.
The Hon A. w. Smith-My first choice
for president is Blaine and second Gresham
Ny ticket would be Blaine and Gresham.
II Blaine will not run give Gresham first
place and Golf, of West Virginia, second.
Gresham and Golf an excellent ticket.
Gresham has an elegant reputation As a
soldier, a selfmade man, a splen5 did
jurlst, has no superior in the country. His
position popular with the iabor!ug men
capitalists satisfied with his decisions.
Judge Anderson of Pratt Cen.er-I
think our county will send solid de!ega-
ton for Smith. johnson has some friends
but no one is heard speaking OF Bradford.
For president, Blaine is my first choice
and Gresham second If Golf can carry
West Virginia, put him on the ticket with
Gresham.
The Hon. J. c. Strang of Larped-I an
in favor of I. 7. Taylor for governor, but
have no idea Mho will be nom mated. No
one can give discreet guess now. j think
every county viii favor Taylor As for
