Special from Wichita: The county
convention of the alliance and industri-
al Union to plaoe a county ticket in
the field resulted in a row of scarcely
moderate proportions, and no ticket
was nominated. The labor element
captured the organization, and was
running things smoothly and had
ticket prepared, using their own men
for the fat places. The alliance found
it out and commenced to kick, being in
the majority. The union laborites
claimed they did not mean to be hog
gish, but the farmers were afraid, and
the motion to nominate a ticket failed
two to one. There were IT'S delegates
IN the convention. In the report of
resolutions an effort was made to take
sides on rssubmission, but the conser-
walton element succeeded in keeping
back advances from both extremes.
