Pay Stems Wednesday.

Topeka, Feb. 23,-The thought uppermost in
the minds of the Kansas legislature today is ad-
journment sine die. The last day of the consti-
tutional session-that is the last day that for
which members may receive pay-win be We'd
nesday, The calendeTs cannot be cleaned up in
that time and the legislators of experience ex-
pect to remain a week over the constitutional
limit. To meet living expenses for this overtime
there is talk of postage appropriation of 50 per
day, but it is doubtful if such proposition will
meet with general favor.
There is much reluctance on the part of a
great many to adjourn until such bills as they
have championed are disposed of.

Editor THE Item, !:

Editor The Item:
Replying shortly TO your editorial, !
far prefer pouring oil upon troubled
waters to string them up. My article in
the State Was simply to give my reasons for
leaving the convention, as there was no oo-
por,unity to do 50 in that body; to wit: the
belief, ind the grounds therefor, that the Con
servatives ould have gone into the Irby
primary if they could not have secured a
division without going into il; and | was
unwilling 10 run the risk Of being committed
to this. Such was and still is my opinion ;
and in this the Conservative-R Reform, or Re-
form-C Conservative (or If i, prefers, Independ
entj Sumter Herald fully concurs. You
think otherwise; of course each is entitled TO
his opinion, but it is useless 10 dispute about
an uoascertainable speculation. sincerely
hope you were right, and rceiprocate the
same respect and conscientonsness of opinion
which you accord to me
Let me add another opinion The Con-
servatiye Convention itself could no. have
picked out three better, safer, more intelli-
gent and reliable Reformers than the nom'-
nees of the mass meeting now on the fusion
ticket J. D. BLANpING.

But these were mere private opiaions ex-
pressed hours after had retired, and after
the convection had been and were still de-
