Wichita eagle., 1888-05-09

Last Night.
All day yesterday the Carey hotel pre-
sented lively appearance, it being the
scene of the movements OF Kansas pollti-
clans and delegates to the Republican
state delegate convention prior to the con-
vention work of today The morning
trains brought in quite a number and the
evening trains were crowded, and the basis
of operations seemed to be at the Carey.
Last night, especially, were things lively,
and on many matters concerned III today's
work there seemed to be little idea as to
what would be done. Other questions,
again, seemed TO be settled and only re-
ferred to in a way that confirmed this be-
lief.
Candidates for governor, Humphrey,
Green, Smith, Taylor. are on hand looking
after their various interests, and each
commanding a respectable following OF
friends who in many cases are not slow
to allow their positions known. Col. Hal
lowells rooms at the Carey yesterday were
crowded all day with friends and in that
section one was not surprised to hear
something said about the candidates for
delegates at large. The candidates for
that state honor are as follows: Col. J. K.
Hallowell, Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn,
Albert EGrjtfin, Judge J. c. Strang, A
Borrin, Eugene E. Ware, A. B. Cornell,
and f. B. McCabe. OF the candidates
Osborne, Hallowell and Strong were with
the boys" all day yesterday and Gen.
Ware did not arrive until last evening,
and this mornings train it is thought will
bring the others. The leading questions
for consideration yesterday. grew out of
the contest for delegates at large. Com
plications and combinations were reported
of minor and great Importance but with
all. there seemed to be no other indica-
tions excepting those indicating utmost
harmony in today's convention. No one
was heard to predict otherwise and it
seemed to be on all hands a hard honest
pull for friends
But little was said until late last even
ing about the possible chairman. Mr.
Adey. of Newton, Senator w w Smith
and James Legget Of Leavenworth, were
heard spoken of i'll connection with the
position. There seemed to be little cred
tied to the position outside a matter of
honor, no one seeing in it power to serve
any one idea against the best interests of
the whole party.
The question this morning will be con-
-idered more earnestly than it was last
night.
1t is estimated that over that over three
hundred and fifty delegates were in the
city last evening and an almost full at
tendance of delegates is expected, and the
alternates seem to show equally as much
interest.
PI Bonebrake, chairman of the state
central committee, arrived last evening
and list of delegates was secured from
him which is as follows:
No returns.
