OLD KANSA~ STORIES.

The most effective story us-d by Jim
Lane, once senator from Kansas. was this:
He said that in his town there was a
championship belt and toe youth who
could lick every otl err boy was entitled TO
this guerdon. One big bully bad held it
for long time One day be fell and hurt
his shin, badly skinning It, Lane saw he
accident and carefully noted the location
of the bruse. Next day he tackled the
bully, and the first thing he did was 10
give that sore shin kick. or course he
knocked the bully out, for be howled with
pain.
Now" Lane used to say, slavery is the
sore shin of the south and when yOn want
TO get the best of them. aim at that"
When the Missourians and the Pro-
slavery fellows were scrapping over Kan
sas and both trying TO get possession Of
the state, there WAS ferry across the Mis-
souri, river, which was the scene Of
many a row.
The MisSourians posted themselves on
the Missouri side. and when Yankee at
tempted TO get into Kansas they set about
seeing that he did not succeed.
OF course it puzzled the Missourians r
good deal to tell Yankee with accuracy
and despite their watchfulness several
slipped through.
At last they began to look around Cor a
test and they found one that WAS infalIi-
bic. They tied COW on the Missouri side
OF the river. When a wsyfarer bound for
Kansas appeared. the Missourisns took
him ND TO this animal and asked: What

fired back in ihe direction OF New England

Accordingly they it'd = bear 10 post

The morning call., 1894-09-20
THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
Several Lively Contests Expected in
the Outside Districts,

The Republican primary elections to be
held next Saturday even ing were the prin-
cipal topic of discussion in ana about the
Republican headquarters yesterday. The
ward leaders were present in force through
out the day ana, with the exception of
few minor details in connection with the
selection Of district polling-places, all the
arrangements are completed for the con-
tests. That there Is decided opposition in
some of the districts is an assured fact.
but Burns appears To be holding his forces
well in hand, and expresses himself as
quite positive that the friction in some
quarters Will ODly tend to strengthen the
ranks by promoting an active and inter-
ested sririt among the candidates anxious
to obtain seats In the municipal conven-
ton.
In the Thiriy-fourth District County
Committeeman Tracy and McQuade are
strongly opposed t. the faction led by ID.
{. Smith, aud in the Thirty-,ixth there is
liable TO be a very lively contest. The
same may be said of the ThirUy-thrd and
Thirty ninth districts.
There was considerable speculation
among the politicians around headquarters
yesterday as To the outcome of a conversa-
ton which took place the previous evening
between Dan Burns and Assessor Siebe
The latter Is said to have declared his in
t4ntion of running independently in case
be does not receive the nomination from
the convention. He claims that DAILY has
already been slated for the place
on the ticket, but he considers
that his record iusti6es another
term and he has told his friends that he
will be an INDEPENDENT candidate. Burns
IS said to have requested bin to call, and
Siebe promptly accepted the invi alton,
and the two were closeted together for
some time. The nature If the meeting is
not definitely known, but it is supposed
that Siebe was requested TO draw out of
the fight in case he did not receive the
nomination. Burns realizes that the nom
inatioDs are not plentiful enough to supply
every one, and he is using every effort 10
! convince those who are booked Tor disap-
DointmentS that they must bury personal
feeling for the good of the parry. What
the Burns and Siebe interview brought
forth remains to be seen, but it is acknnwl-
edged that Siebe is not the man to with
draw from an independent candid acy un-
less unusual Inducements were offered.

ELECTION OFFICERS.
Difference of Opinion in the Board of
Election Commissioners.

Not much was done, but a good deal of
spicy talk was INDUCED in, to the amuse-
ment of the spectators at the meeting OF
the Election Commissioners Yesterday aft
ernoon.
The question Of whose prerogative il is
to name the officers of election was under
discussion. Mayor Ebert claimed that
body may submit names, but il was for
the board to choose, and he proposed TO
submit some himself. Registrar Evans
had prepared list and cal ned that by
virtue of that section of the law which re-
quire him TO make up "a list of taxpayers
and voters having tue necessary oualifica-
tons for ele ton officers" 1T should be the
list selected. They should be mem bers of
the two parties polling the largest vote in
the preceding election. He held that this
meant general and not municipal cleo
ton.
Mayor Ebert agreed with this intarnre-
tatlon as to the elect on, but hell that the
commission was not formed as a commit
tee t. ratify the action of anybody ana
That selections would be made from all
lists submitted.
l. j. l.. Smiley appeared, he said. as n
representative of the Republican parry
anu Iestetteu that tnere were none of that
party on the board. He said he wonld
rather trust the Democratic members than
a Nom Partisan. ~
Mayor Ebert said that while he wouId
always be pleased 10 hear Mr.. Smiley talk
ne would request him not to be personal
Ii ne had list OF names to present IL
would be received.
Smiley said he had none at present-the
Republican list had been submitted.

secure for him the nomination of Mayor,
and the indications are ecdedly favor
able for their success. Although the
strongest rivalry now exists. and although
the friends of the other candidates are

likely that they are doomed TO disappoint-

To be what his friends claim he is-a repre-
sentative citizen of the stanchest class, a
man incapable of any act that is not con-

Mr., James Is a relentless foe to mOnOp-

porated nower, and his feaTlessness in
dealing with the evils of bribery and boss
ism, have won for him the allegiance of
thousands of friends. AS chairman of the

the Eleventh Ward, Mr.. James has made
a record which has proven him financier

The NOn-Partisan committee will meet
to-day and the work of mapping out a
campaign and preparing for the municipal
cOnven ton will be begun. Beyond ex-
pressing themselves in general terms in
favor of the selection of good men for Office
and the conducting of the city government
on buslnesslike principles, the members of

regard IL too early To speak with any as
Surance of the details of the work to be

vention will be unpledged to any person
