HUTCHINSON. KAN. May 8.-The Republi-
can State Convention. to elect delegates at
large to the Minneapolis convention ana
! to nominatea congressman at large. VIII be
held here tomorrow. State issues this year
seem 10 overshadow everything in politics,
| and national issues are lost sight OF IN the
| scramble for places on the State ticket.
| The Republicans expect TO reverse the Al
lance majorities of two years ago., and are
so confident of success that nomination
on the State ticket is regarded by them as
almost the same thing as an election.
There are eight candidates for places as
delegates at large. Among them Is John
| j. Ingalls,. whose return 10 active poltical
life will be made at this convention.
INGALLS, REDIvIvUs.
Mr.. ingalls, is now probably the most
popular with his party of all the Kansas
Republican leaders. Hls popularity year
ago began to ebb. the charge having been
| made that after his defeat for reelection
10 the Senate he withdrew to his tent and
sulked there, not caring so long as he had
| been turned OOWn NutJ OtNhnl' ot thV
| party In Kansas. Mr.. ingalls, allowed this
charge TO pass unchallenged for nearly a
year. Finally he proved 1t false. showing
tina. the party managers had not asked
him to participate IN the campaign wear
AGO and had ignored him in all their coun-
ellis and plans. This showing not only re-
stored him TO the affections of the rank
and file of his party. but carried him far
| beyond his former popularity.
Mr.. Ingalls, will be present at the con-
| vention tomorrow. He has not given anV
intimation of what his new political ambi-
ton may be. but it has been proposed to
send him TO Minneapolis at the head oi
the Kansas delegation.
The Alliance-0Ien.
| BIRMIHGHAM. ALA. May = The Age
| Hrald is furnished with the following as a
correct statement of the Alliance con
ference proceedings The day has been
spent in receiving reports from different
States upon the situation. Perfect har-
mony seems TO prevail. and a wise con,
servation that will prevent any radical
action governs the entire work. All pres
ent express determined support OF ALI
ance principles by their constituents, and
seem disposed TO keep the order entirely
tree from any partisan entanglements. In
all probability the resolutions TO be passed
will favor preserving TO mem bers inylolate
|
politically with any party. making support
of Alliance principles the only test ol
fealty."
