LEANS V"te *or Ady.
TOPEKA. Kan. Jan. 26.-More interest
centered in the house yesterday during
the dual joint convention than at any
time since the opening of the session, not
excepting the exciting hours of the day
when the rival houses were organized
on the same floor
At 1910 O'Clock The two speakers an
nounced the Acknowledgements and
the senate and Lieut. Gov Daniels
stepped to the stand between Douglass
and Dunsmore, while the senators
went to their seats The two speakers
stood up with the members of the house
when the senate came in, but took their
seats while the Acknowledgements re.
manned standing and announced the OBJ
ject of the joint conference.
The acknowledgement ordered
Secretary Brown to call the roll for
ballot on United States senator. This
proceeded quietly, each populist sena-
tor rising and voting for Judge Martin,
until the name OF Senator o. Bryant was
reached when. to the establishment of
all, he rose and voted for Martin. The
populist side of the house and the pop

the galleries burst into applause at
this, which had scarcely subsidized when
the name of Taylor was reached, and
b., too, voted for Judge Martin This
gave fresh provocation for applause,
and the call had to be suspended until
the presiding officer could restore or
der The call closed with twenty-five
senators voting for Martin and none
against him.
The roll of the populist house was
now called. 1t proceeded quietly and
with little interruption, only one mem
Der voting against John Martin, until
the name of Hall, of Osborne, was
reached He arose and said that he
hal been sent to Topeka to represent
the peoples party and he wanted to do
it the best he could, but he was in
doubt about the action he was about to
take. 1t was the bitterest dose he was
ever compelled to swallow, but he must
do it, much as he hated democracy. He
voted for John Martin. This was first
greeted with applause and next with
laughter.
Wilson, the Meade county independ-
ent on the republican side, caused an
other surprise by voting for Martin,
