next Congress meets the seat of Hon. John

would disrupt the organization, went wide

and each candidate receiving the lowest
vote was dropped from the list until a
choice was made. RumOrs of detection in
the vote in the House to-day likewise

an orderly character. In the House the
ffty-three petitions from G. A. r. veterans
throughout the State for the reelection of
Ingalls, went over under the rule.
When the result of the ballots was an
nounced the Alliance men went wild and
cheered for several minutes.

| noon said he had no plans for the future,
| except that he knows he will remain in
Kansas.
