tatives of the late Oklahoma convention,
at Kansas City, had a meeting in the
room Of the committee on territories, and
mapped out their campaign. Rather
against his will, DR.. Munford, of the
Kansas City Times, was made chairman.
He only consented to act until the rest of
the delegation arrive, on the 25th. DR..
Munford said that the prospects for an
early passage of the bill reported by Mr..
Springer, was very fattering. He be-
lieved that the delegation would see it In
the presidents hands before leaving.
There would be no trouble about the
senate, after the house had acted. The
Springer bill was not all the delegation
would like to have, but it would be
heartily pressed. He said he did not at
tach any Importance to the hostile action
being taken in southwestern Kansas. He
had information that the opposition was
being worked up by two town site COM
panies, solely in their own interests.

offices of mayor and recorder or police
judge were merged into one, but neither

the council will certainly pass their reso-

be brought to a focus in the proper court
through an application for a mandamus.
