CHICAGO, June 15.-The republican state
central committee is in session here for the
purpose of choosing a successor to Long
Jones, who bas been chairman so many
years, but declines to serve longer. Peni-
tentiary Commissioner Wright, of Wood
stock, stirred up things before the meeting
by announcing that he mad made can
yass and finds the German Lutherans go
ing almost solidly for the democratic
ticket on account of the school question
and that it will take the hardest kind of
work to keep them in line. He estimates
their strength at 10000.
Headquarters for Cleveland and Boies
were opened here today. General John T.
Tracy, Of New York, in charge of the
former, is busy making arrangements to
secure delegates from various states, as
they arrive. At the Boies headquarters,
Palmer House, the conspicuous figure was
L. M. Martin, delegate-at-large from Iowa.
1--WE expect Governor Boies will have IS
or 100 votes on the first ballot" Said he,
''This is not guess Wofk, because we have

delegates and had friendly letters from
many. Boies will gain votes rapidly after
! test votes are taken. Senator Vest is here
and says he thinks Cleveland will be the
nominee. Missouri will vote for him sol

KANSAS ALLIANCE MEN.
! WICHITA, haS., une lO.-NOne OF the
leaders here to attend the state convention
of the farmers alliance are willing to ex-
press an opinion as to the outcome of the
| convention. From a careful canvass it is
probable w. d. Vincent will be nominated
for governor, though P. P. Elder and At.
torney General Ives are making an aggres.
sive candidacy. 1t is not unlikely, how
ever, that all prominent candidates will be
dropped and dark horse put forward
The fusion idea seems to be gaining ground
1t looks as if John A. Eaton or David
Overmeyer, liberal democrat, will be nom.
mated for congressman-at large, though al
a caucus favorable to fusion this morning
Overmeyer was thrown overheard.
1t was decided to center the fusioI
strength on Eaton. 1t is doubtful if EatoI
will be able to rally much strength as he il
a railroad attorney. Hon. John Martin
candidate for governor in 1888, telegraph
that he will accept the nomination by &C
clamation for associate justice of the su
preme court. He will probably be nomi
mated.
