|Conferring Organizations Claim
the Right to Select Seine of
the Candidates.
GRACE MAY GO 1T ALONE NOW.
Report that He Is to Head q Ticket
That Will Also Name Golf
for Recorder.

The ticket offered last night by the
4 Committee of Seventy, in its confer
ence with the anti-Tammany organiza-
tons, and a part of which was after
wards Endorsed by the Republican Coun-
ty Convention, is being remodelled to-
day.
The Republicans indorsed w. L. Strong
Nor Mayor and John w. Golf for Re
tcorder, but refused to accept the Grace
democrats named for the other places,
the Grace delegates having bolted from
the Conference.
For the same reason the Ink is to-
day considering names to be substi-
tuted for those presented last night for
S.o9riff Superior Court Judge, President
| &C the Board of Aldermen and for Cor
O., RS. 1t is expected that the OBrien-
ties, Good Government Clubs, the Ger
man-American Reform Union and the
. Independent County Organization VIII
be represented on the new ticket.
John w. Golf indorses the selection
CT w. L. Strong as the Union candidate
for Mayor, and Col. Strong indorses the
selection of Mr.. Goff for Recorder.
There is still a strong belief among
/ the parties to the conference, except
the Grace Democrats, that an accepta-
BILE union ticket will yet be presented.
1t has been suggested, and the sug-
geston may be acted upon favorably,
that as the LINKS candidates for
Mayor and Recorder have been ac-
cepted, that body should grant the
other organizations that indorse Strong
and Golf the privilege of naming the
rest of the ticket themselves.
As the other parties to the conference
have political organizations anI votes
back of them, and as the L%H has not,
the claim is made that sucn conces-
sion is not too much to ask or TO eN-
pect
Want Grace for Mayor.
The positive statement was made to an
Evening World" reporter by one of the
leaders Of the Grace-Fairchild organiza-
ton to-day, that at the Convention to
be held in Cooper Union on Tuesday
night, full local ticket would be noml-
mated.
The reporters informant had seen
Mr.. Grace after the conference in the
United Charities Building, last night,
and Is good authority.
The ticket will be almost entirely
beHlOCTdllc, john w. bOll DelHS SIdtcu
for Recorder. At the present time the
indications are that William r. Grace
himself will take the Mayoralty nomi-
nation.
This latter belief Is strengthened by
the statement made by Francis NJ. Scott
at the conference last night, and which
was told in THE Evening Worlds" EX-
ira. He told the conference that on
one occasion an Anti-Tammany Demo-
crat had defeated both the Tammany
and Republican candidate for Mayor.
lie was speaking of the election of Grace
in 1854.
And" he added, 1.-The same man and
the same conditions are alive to-day"
Conferences will be held to-day by
the leaders of the Grace Fairchild com
bination and the German reformers.

gather The writer of the letter is
P. H. Bray, young colored man,
who went from this city to that
country. He states that Waller
has been relieved from his duty as
Consul, and is now engaged in sur
veying and registering his conces-
sion.
Bray writes a very interesting
letter. He states that the French
are trying hard to get control of
the country, which is very rich in
gold and other minerals, and larg-
er than all the German States to-
gether, and about the same size as
France. Mr.. Waller, he says,
worked in the interest of the Mad
agascar government. and for that
reason it is very friendly to him.
1t is common talk there that the
French will send ont another eX-
petition to conquer the country,
but he is of the opinion that they
will bite off more than they can
chew. Everything looks very
war-like. AS soon as things are
settled there will be splendid op-
portunities to make money, and he
proposes to stay. He has himself
carried through some arrangements
with the government, which will
help him a great deal. He doesn't
want to return. Bray writes that
he has had many interviews with
the Prime Minister and seen the
Queen in her palace as a special
guest, but never as he saw them
when he attended the coronation,
which took place at the great palace
on November 22nd last. He was
proud to be present on such
grand occasion. 1t was simply
writes Bray, and the
best of it all is, he says, that they
are black people. He expected to
nave another audience with the
Queen before her departure for her
country palace. Mr.. Waller ex-
oects to start for the United States
n June. After placing his chill
lren in school he will return.

A Pleasant Affair,

The social ball at Guys hall on
West Fourth street Wednesday
evening, was the first stir in the
social pool for some time and
proved a very pleasant affair. The
hall was comfortably filled, and,
with youth, beauty, grace and the
dulcet strains of music, the even
ing was prolonged until the short
hours. Messrs. Thomas McAdoo,
Bert Alexandria and S. Jordan
were the hosts of the occasion and
acquitted themselves creditably.

THE LITTLE THINGS"
Rev. ]. @. 9. Owens Lectures Before the
Pleasant Hour Literary Circle.

A"0F' u VI W. OWeHS htCLur6S D0IOr6 III
Pleasant Hour Literary Circle.
Rev. J. G. c. Owens, pastor 0
st. Johns A. NJ. E. church, in re
spouse to request by the Pleasant
Hour Literary circle, delivered al
interesting and instructive lecture
before the members of that society
last Saturday evening at their re
gular place of meeting, 515 Kans-
as avenue. BY way of preliminary
the speaker said that the Pleasant
Hour circle represented the intel
ligence of Topeka and, therefore,
the responsibility for the literary
reputation of the city rested upon
it. He chose as the subject for
his remarks; "Our Opportunities
and the Importance of Grasping
Them" After referring to mum
Der of persons who occupy honor
ed places in history as result Of
having grasped the "little things"
as they presented themselves, he
said: "As a race, we are largely
to blame for our material c0ndi-
ton. We look over the "little
things" which, if utilized, would
often place us a step higher III the
world Of science and invention.
We let too many Of the golden
moments pass by withot seriously
considering the possibilities Of the
hour. Here in Topeka, the CAPT
tai city of Kansas, should be found
the neucles around which the in
teIlectual greatness Of the state
should be gathered 1t is we'll to
meet here and discuss Current
Topics,' have "Quotationsn and
have literary feast, but we should
not stop here. We should do
something to perpetuate the name
OF the society and make place in
history for the same, Why not
be learning telegraphy, steno-
graphy and study German and
French? Would these qualifca-
tions not make us more eligible to
honorable positions? Would they
not make us more complete wo-
men and men! Then why not! Let
the Pleasant Hour inaugurate the
industrial idea. There must be a
beginning, and the beginning must
be small, but who could say what
the result would be! Certainly it
could but result in good. 1t
would more fully emphasize the
assertion that a human being,
though of dark complexion, is
capable of self improvement, and
when this fact is more generally
known the clouds of mistrust and
doubt will be beaten backward bv
reasons penetrating glare and the
Negro will stand fol tn in the full
splendor of complete manhood"
The lecturer was listened to at
tentively and heartily applauded
at the conclusion, when some ap-
propriate remarks were made bv
President JAS. H. Guy and vote
of thanks extended Rev. Owens
for his instructive lecture.
