The Caucus for Legislature Seat
Grabbing Last Night--Today's
Work.

The state convention OF the Union Labor
party viii be held today at Garfield hall.
Converting at II o'clock The early
trains Of yesterday brought q sprinking OF
delegates. and last evening it was thought
two hundred were on hand OF the proni-
nent men president are J. NJ Breidenthal,
banker and money lender OF Chetopa;
John Davis, Of Junction City; ". II.

Lamb, of Kirwin
st q late hour last evening number Of
the delegates were heard talking about the
state of affairs and it WAS learned that an
immense caucus had been held IN a certain
hall in the city during the fore part of the
night. 1t had been attended by about $50
delegates and some of the kickers who
were not desired in the caucus were run up
to the Tilden club headquarters where
they suppoicd they were having a session
TO decide the work of the day.
cd d.! amt you glad they voted down
that resolution" said member as he
squared himself at the Goodyear house
with newly lighted cigar.
'What resolution" said the fellow,
seemingly having in his head remem-
brance Of several resolutions.
why, that resolution which favored
putting in TIE platform instructions not
10 fuse" said the happy delegate.
"Of course" he continued, 1--WE don't
want to have anything said about that.
and you see the caucus was
almost unanimous TO leave out
any reference to 'fusin.' Now if some
kicker don't get up and propose it we viii
be able TO make some good trading. You
know we must have q state ticket so we
can have something TO trade. Then we
can trade off state ticket for votes to get
members Of the legislature. BY saying
nothing about 'fusin' we can fuse and re-
fuse and work it fine. That three per cent
interest business and kicking Pinkerton
clause is all right, too"
About this time another delegate scored
and while hopping his brow interrupts,
Its a d good thing we voted down that
thing declaring for constitutional amend
ent"
Yes" replied one ''you bet we would
have gained Democratic Hoop me up for
the legislature and by ''fusin" and SO on
we can make a showing"
A gentleman from the Missouri river
who Is or hand to see the convention
and get on 20 the 'fusin" and some other
plays said yesterday, you know the
trades union from Topeka and Lawrence
appointed committee last summer to
attend the Democratic state convention
at Leavenworth and labor with the COM
mites on resolutions for some concessions
to their way of thinking. Of those COM
mites no one but Ed. Moore went and
he failed to get an audience be-
fore the COMMITTEES on resolutions.
He finally went to Martin and gave some
resolutions to him after he had promised
that he would give them to the
committee and in fact never mentioned the
matter to its members. Well that's Mar
tins record with them. At the Topeka
it was different. The trades
unions ;sent "a committee there to see
the Republicans in state conven
ton. Golfer, Henry and Thomas
were members and were given one-half
hour before the committe on resolutions.
They presented two resolutions which were
not Objectionable and adopten by the COM
mittee verbatim as submitted, and went |
through the convention, you viii remem-

The play for grabbing chairs in the |
house of representatives and senate will /
doubtless be watched today with interest,
and if the Unrully member is out there |
seems TO be some show for the ''fusin"
business to be introduced in the resolu-
ions. The resolutions from what was
earned at the Goodyear, have been made
according to the the caucus and fusion"
The indications are that Mr.. j. W.
viii be nominated for gov
.rnor. He claims he don't want it and
will not have it. He says he has polled
lightly seven counties and is satisfied that |
,arty will poll III the state $1,000 votes this
all. II is sized up to be, if he wants the
lrst place he can have it, and if he don't
want to run the bluff he will suggest the
anne of the fellow for the place.
