THE DOUBLE HEADER.
Democrats and Republican ResubmIssionists
Trying to Get into the Same Bed.

In fact on Sunday evening quite number
of characteristic strikers from Fort Scott,
Leavenworth, Atchison and other points
arrived. They were out with war paint on
for Ex-Governor Click to head the nomina-
tion or no combination ticket. They in
tended to be on hand in time and had
made no mistake. A few more arrived
from the eastern part of the state yester-
day morning. The trains from the east
made quite a showing in the afternoon
The unterrified were circulating in
great numbers The O'Clock
Santa Fe from the east brought in the
Leavehworth fellows with fair rake-off
along the line. The o'clock Rock Island
brought in the Topeka Democrat delegates
and the Republican resubmission delega-
ton. Ike latter brought with them the
Marshall band, fifty pieces, and were met
at the depot by large crowd, and marched
to Hotel Carey. They furnished some fine
music, which was highly appreciated.
The Kingman Democrats came
in at O'Clock with band
marched to the Manhattan. They
with the Pratt fellows Immediately
organized for business. They had some
war paint to spread around.
The last evening trains caused the Dem
ocratic visitors TO reach as estimated six
hundred, and the Resubmissionists as esti-
mated by Chairman A. l.. Allen, five hun
| bred More for each convention are ex-
| pected this morning.
Yesterday was spent mostly in skirmish-
ing around about the governor question
The "Reminiscences were pressing with
all possible strength the claims of ex-
Governor Charles Robinson, of Lawrence,
and the majority of the prominent
Democratic politicians seemed to
be on the Click side The
Click fellows became more enthusiastic as
the day passed and the color on their faces
increased. And as the color increased they
would emphasize the fact that the vote
was to come from the Democrats and it WAS
that party to be pleased in order to stand
any show for election. They would talk
about Simon pure Democracy and claim
that the Democrats wanted tickets straight
as we'll as everything else. They would
refer to the Robinson fellows with a sneer
and scowl and give ample evidences of a
bitter feeling on the question. They
would even venture that the Resubmission-
lists would not have enough votes to
entitle them TO the first place on the ticket
and surely in the total absence of the Re-
submission fellows no Democrat would
think of voting for Robinson.
The Robinson friends, despite all, made
the best show. They had the most badges.
They did the most talking out loud and
appeared to show less feeling against
Click than they themselves were met with
from the Click fellows. From the general
confusion the prevailing opinion was that
Robinson would be nominated but the
Click friends would grit their teeth and
declare that the Robinson following would
be represented more on the outside than
on the inside of the convention
The leading supporters of Click are w.
c. Jones, Col A. a. Harris, j. c. Sheri-
dan, F. l.. Vandegrift, r. B. Morris.
The Robinson leaders ase General G.. W.
Blair, w. C. Perry. S. +. Nicely, Judge
John Martin, David Overmeyer
The Democratic central committee met
last evening at the parlors of the Carey
and after scrimmage between the Click |
and Robinson forces the farmer was sue
cessful in capturing the temporary organi- |
cation. For chairman, John G. Sheridan. |
of Paola; secretaries, w. A Eaton, of |
Kingman; +. L. Vandegrift, of Atchison,
and Henry SCHNEIDER, of Leavenworth. |
The Robinson fellows voted for General |
Blair until it was discovered he would be |
defeated.
The Democratic convention will meet at |
the Crawford at IL O'Clock today.
The resubmission convention will have |
for it's temporary chairman Mr.. d. A. |
Banta, of Great Bend, and the convention !
will be called at IL o'clock at the Garfield. |
Mr. A. i. Allen, chairman of the state
central committee. stated last night that
the party was in excellent shape. All but
a few western counties would be repre-
scented with complete delegations
In all probability each convention will |
appoint a conference committee, and the
object of the meeting will be to decide on
the terms of fusion ticket. 1t is believed
that if the Democrats will concede the gov
ernor that will be all the ReSubmissionists
will ask and in case that is refused they
would accept chief Justice and name
Lucien Baker but he claims that he will
not accept the place.
