THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
The following from the Lawrence
journal Tribune contains 10 much
truth with regard TO the " fixing
done In the republican state conven-
ton that we are constrained TO repro
duce Il. II we should say the same
things OF the convention we should be
denounced as anarchists. Coming as
this does from good orthodox republi-
can authority il will have TO so, how
ever as simply mild protest against
the established methods Of the grand
old party;
The convention 10 nominate state officers had
the greater part Vt lts work done by public Opln-
lon before II was called together An that II was
necessary for the convention 10 do aside from
nominating men tor auditor and treasurer was 10
endorse what the republicans Of Kansas had
long ago said should be done.
That the convention should be tO u great ex-
tent "Axcd" prior 10 the time Of meeting was, Of
course, to be expected, and those who did OK
pect II were not disappointed. But In their
eagorness to carry out the programme that had
been laid down there were some things done
that had tendency TO "dve the deal away"
For instance, when the temporary chairman got
a little mixed In his speech OF acceptance and
had TO pull his manuscript from his pocket 10 AZ
10 be- able 10 proceed In order.
Then again there WIS nm over Jealous dispOsl.
ton displayed by Major Hudson, when he made
the motion for the appointment Of a committee
on resolutions before the temporary secretary
was chosen. on course the major knew better
than 10 do that, but he feared that some ono
would yet the floor ahead Of him after lho socre-
tary was chosen, 40 no got the floor before no
had right 10 II, and kept II until his time came.
But the major need not have been frightened.
The convention was awnro that he had the rosO.
WlOns already prepared, and the delegates had
30 intention NJ making him lose his abOr VI love.
But the resolutions ARE good and are q fair expo.
siton Of the Views VI the republican party, aud
Mr. Hudson as their author Is entitled 10 great
credit.
In the matter Of nominations, had the COnvcn-
tlon seen no 10 do otherwise than II did do In
reference 10 the one term men the delegates
would have been requested by their various
counties to remain M far away from home as
possible, The gentlemen are entitled to sec
Ond term and they win get II.
The reason why O. M. Hoyoy was nominated
WIS because 10 Was on che slate that way. Tho
deal was given away early however, much earlier
than WIS Intended by reason Of some delegates
doing like Chet, Thomas men at the ward pr-
mariea, and 'yotlng Just as they - pleased" "
For a few minutes II looked like II might bo
Waller or compromise and when they saw that,
the delegates went like sheep 20 lIOvey But no
Is good man and competent one, aud his soc-
tlon OF Che state deserved recognition.
For the first tlmein tho history OF the stats tho
"Blg Seventh" was Overmatched. IL did not get
u thing although 10 had the popular candidate for
treasurer and seven candidates for auditor. The
slate tried 10 bring Sims into the race but tho
mistake was quickly discovered and StOyer WAS
chosen by the state house officials. lle IL an OK
Cellont man, and WAS In big luck 20 stand I'm
with the state house.
The ticket throughout Ii q strong, pure, clean
one, and will not fall below OOOOO majority.
