elections last evening in all the wards for
the purpose of elect'ng delegates TO the
County convention that will, III turn, elect
delegates to the state convention that will
assemble at Topeka on July 10 nominats
state ticket.
| IL was quite sad to see the ruins OF the
| once powerful opposition party OF Kansas
as II stood in shreds about the polls.
1t was terrible evidence CT the truth of
the old saying that the wages Of sin is
| death. for if there ever was "A political
corpse the Democratic party as il appeared
| last night was one.
Actually there were not enough Demo-
| Gratis present to ill out the delegations and
| all on account of the old party mouKeying
! so hong with the POpulis;s and fusiug with
them that those VINO did not actually
| leave the party as apostates were too indli-
| ferent to attend its doiBgs
Those VINO were present. however. were
| quite emphatic in their opposition TO fus-
| ion aud did not hesitate to express that
fact. The feeling was unanimous.
| That there will be no more fusion, If the
sentiments of all Democrats are like
| those who voted last u gbt, is assured
| In the Second ward only seven votes
We're cast, while at the same place the Re
| publicans cast about 345 short while
ago.
In the silk stocking Fourth ward an even
| half dozen votes We're cast against about
| 400 at the recent Republican primaries.
| In the First ward the Simon pure
! sentiments of Democracy were eX-
! pressed and prohibition was de-
| nounced as Of yore. 1t was not only de-
pounced hut 1t was denounced hard. The
woman's suffrage question was handled
| without gloves and IL was denounced aud
| decreed as an ism that was dangerous, de-
moraliZing and vicious. In other words
| the Democrats of the First ward put them
selves on record as the friends of the more
amiable Sex.
In the Fifth ward the anti-fusion senti-
ment was strong. George Rogers de-
| hvered an Grafton on stalwart Democracy,
In which he claimed that no one should be
entitled to vote at the primaries with the
least stain of the mortal objectionable son
of fusion in bis soul He would have said
more but his coat tails were pulled as a
danger signal when the EAGLE
reporter was discovered with his ear
trumpet catching the remarks of the gen
| tlemau. Charlie Guyer was there COM
planning about the fact that be was given
the cold shoulder by his fellow falthfuls.
although he had always been a stalwaFt
advocate of pure and unadulterated De-
mOcracy.
