The colonel was nominated for con

convention at Clay Center he buldozed
through a resolution to absolve him
from caucus rule in congress. The
convention voted down the resolution
when 1t came up in regular order but
after Col Phillips received the nomina-

special request that the resolution be-
passed in his interest and the conven-

A few figures on that point. put yer,

shows that the Republican candid 8

representatives who joined the legal
house l,477 votes and the Populis
candidates received 1852. sy1 votes.

the house exceeded the Populist vote
by 6,4O2 votes notwithstanding the fact
that thousands Of Democrats voted f"r

topeka, Kan. Feb %. The populist
house held busy session yesterday.
On motion of Representative Coulson IL
was decided To spend ten hours day
In legislative session from now until an
adjournment W taken. This means
that the popul's,s will grind out laws
In the southern corridor from Q a. IN. 70
Ii p. m. each day, with two hours In
Permission for dinner and supper.
The populist legislators struggled
from morning until late in the after
noon with the foes and salaries bill in
troduced by Tucker The bill is a
lengthy document, covering thirty-two
pages OF printed matter, and makes the
most sweeping reductions in all county
officers salaries IL was finally re-
ported favorably for passage with
two important amendments. One Of
these provides that In all counties
the township trustees and city
assessors shall meet once in five years
and fix salaries OF county officers where
the law works an injustice. This
amendment practically places II in the
power OF each county 10 regulate its
own salaries The second amendment
provides that the law shall not apply
TO present officers The salary list pro-
vided for is shown by the following
schedule:
Treasurer, q N per annum In counties having
less than 80 0 Inhabitants TO 800 In counties
having $50 inhabitants, with mileage for dis.
tauocs necessary TO travo.
County clerk, go per annum in counties

sheriff, $50 per annum and 10 per cent Of
the fees Of his ONCE.
The salaries Of surveyors, coroners and con.
stables we're reduced and will be regulated by
the Tees received
After the fees and salaries bill had
been agreed upon the popuists took u
turn at anti-railruad legislation. A
bill repeating all statutes which auth
orize county, township or municipal
ity TO vote bonds for any purpose
whatever except for building bridges or
school houses was taken up for consid-
Grafton and opposed by only one legis-
lator, and that was an inconsequential
member from the extreme west, who
insisted that more rairoads were need
ed In his section of the state. The bill
received just sixty-three votes, barely
constitutional majority
Then the bill which was introduced
while the populists were holding forth
in the Stormont building prohibiting
sheriffs from employing deputies who
live outside his county was passed.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb 22-Thomas G.
Chambers and Stephen Meagner, the
democratic members of the lower house,
who refused to participate In the joint
senatorial convention which elected
John Martin b the United States sem
ate, submitted to the republican caucus
last night the name of ID p. Waggener
of Atchson, as their candidate for
United States senator. Col A. A. Har-
ris aud Ed Carroll withdrew from the
senatorial fight early in the day and
Carroll came out squarely for Wag-
gener. The republicans did not def
nitey accept the prop Isition of the
democrats, but adjourned subject to the
call Of their chairman.
1t was currently reported, and II Is
generally believed, that the idea orig
mated in Washington with democratic
leaders close To Presdent-elect Cleve-
land and 1t is further asserted that the
senate will seat any good democrat
who can be agreed upon. II was con-
tended that President Cleveland was
disguised with the action Of the
populists in the legislative trou-
bles and had givea 1t out through
his political friends that he would
not recognize any such political meth
dds as the fusionists had resorted TO to
win the senatorial election. All of
these facts were brought before the re-
publican caucus last night, and at its
conclusion committee consisting Of
Senator Sterne aud Representatives
