Questions of a Railroad
WELLsToN, o., June 4-The largest

ventions in the history Of the party in
Kansas, as the work of the convention
depends the fate of the party.
If the ticket nominated this week
marches to victory in November
on the platform adopted by
this convention all will be well, but
if the Republicans should lose this
year. there is a possibility that they may
not, for some time, perhaps never, get
control of the Kansas state government.
Every delegate. elected to this convention
realizes that it is important that the right
men should be nominated and the right
platform adopted if it ever was important
in the history of any party.
1t seems to be foregone conclusion in
the minds of all the delegates who have
arrived so far, that Major E. n. Nor
rill is to be nominated for governor
and most of the other candidates are al
ready calling him governor" Major
Morrill, and his Brown county hackers,
Cy Leland and John Schilling, arrived at
noon and will keep open house at the
Copeland until the convention is over.
George Martin and his delegation of
Wyandotte county supporters, are ex-
pected to arrive this evening.
All the candidates will have head
quarters at the Copeland and most of the
headquarters will be open by tomorrow
morning. There are to be many new
men in this convention and even among
the advance guard there is quite a
SprlnklIng OF new faces.
Chairman Jim Simpson of the state
central committee, is here and building
his fences to keep that job from getting
outside his corral.
DR.. ID. w. King, who wants the nomi-
nation for lieutenant governor, is here
and is getting acquainted with the new
corners.
F. B. Dawes and W. F. Guthrie, the
two candidates for attorney general, ar
rived yesterday.
d. w. Eastman and Otis l. Atherton,
candidates for state treasurer, are here.
and Bruce Lynch, who was the nominee
two years ago and wants the place again
this year, is also in town.
Billy Edwards, Frank Brown and Cap
tain J. S. Mcdowell, candidates for sec
retary of state, are here. McDowell's
chief worker is Billy Nelson. of Smith
Center, and Billy knOwns how to rustic
Three candidates for auditor, Tom
Kelly. George Cole and II. p. Myton
are with the advance guard.
The big delegations with brass bands
and banners in the interest of the various
candidates will arrive tomorrow, and it is
expected there will be as much noise az
there was two years ago when Col. Marsh
MurdOck brought half the male popula-
ton of Wichita to Topeka in the interest
of his gubernatOrial boom.
The lieutenants for the candidates for
congressman at-large are here opening
headquarters and preparing for the
fight. Geo. W. Jones of Linn county is

RUSH Is HOPEFUL.
He Thinks He Stands "A Good Chance of

Senator J. W. Rush thinks he has a
good chance to be nominated for lieuten-

to secure it, but / think that he is not in

can not be nominated l stand a good
chance. There will be no one nominated
on the first ballot, and if no slate is fixed

reign of terror. exists in this city.
Women and children are being removed
to places of safety. The general belief
is that the deputies will advance against
the strikers on Bull Hill today or tomor-
row.
1t is reported that Gen. W. B. Palmer,
who built the Denver s. Rio Grande rail-
road and who has an established reputa-
tion a fighter, will be in command of
the deputies army, with Gen. Charles
Adams in direct charge of the cavalry.
The fighting force on Bull Hill was in
eight coal miners from Fremont county,
and now numbers about 1900 men.
A skirmish took place at early hour
today near the Midland toll gate be-
tween three miners and five deputies,
who were sent out from the main body
at Divide as pickets. Jack Davis, Il
miner. was shot in the arm and dep
uty was seriously wounded. The depu-
ties were forced to retreat.
Besides taking Henry Z. Woods, pres
ident of the Victor townsite company,
into custody, the strikers last night
seized Clarence o. Finch, county super
intendent of schools, and d. E. Wilkins,
a Colorado Springs school teacher, and
they are now held prisoners on Bull Hill
as hostages for President CalderwOod, or
any other miners who may be arrested
John Shorten, editor of the cripple

union, has been arrested by the deputies
1t is reported here that over 1000 de-
puties have taken train at Divide for
Midland, the terminus of the Midland
Terminal railway, and will proceed at
once to Bull Hill.
The telegraph office at Divide refuses
to send out messages. and the sentinels
will not permit any travel between this
city and Divide.
The deputy wounded in the skirmish
today was taken to Midland. His name
has not been learned
1t is stated on good authority that J.
]. Johnson, who is commanding the
strikers forces on Bull Hill, will find
himself in the hands of the United
States secret service before many days.
1t is said that johnson was expelled
from West Point for taking part in the
hazing of the son of General Logan.
