a Fight By Senator Taylor.
At 2:45 this afternoon Governor Lew
elling sent a verbal message to
the senate withdrawing the nomi-
nations which he made this morning of
a. W. Cunningham, VIM. Pray and Geo
w. Mitchell as police commissioners at
Kansas City, Kansas. There is some
speculation regarding the signiti-
cance of this move. II is
claimed that the governor proposes to
make changes in the commission at that
place and will demand their designations
sas City entirely.
1t is stated on the best of authority
that Senator Taylor of Wyandotte coun-
ty, filed notice on the governor that he
would fight his confirmations in the SEN
ate unless he withdrew his present po-
lice commission at Kansas City.

Won by His wits.

The persistency of a street urchin who
wishes to earn money is sometimes annoy
ing, but generally excusable. Now and
then it becomes amusing and almost ire
sistible.
Say, mister, do you want your valise
earried?" asked such a boy, running after
a man who was hurrying ulong the street,
evidently bound for the depot
mo, DON'T answered the man lit
tie sharply.
.sI'll carry it to the depot for dime, .
persisted the boy.
II tell yon 1 don't want it carried, .
said the man, quickening his pace.
Don't you?" said the boy, breaking
into trot t. keep abreast of his victim
mo, 1 DON'T" said the man, glancing
fercely at his small tormentor.
'sWell, then, mister said the urchin,
with an expression of anxious and inno-
cent inquiry on his round, dirty face,

you set it DOWN.
In spite of himself the mans mouth
twitched, AMI with "There, take iti'' he
passed over the bag to his persistent com,

BURTON GAINING.

The Abilene Candidate for Senator Grows
Stronger Major Hoods support Wide
spread.
Who will be senator, is the all-ahsorb-
ing question propounded in political cir
cles by each and every interested person
who is not directly connected with ono
of the booms of the several candidates
Today it is conceded that j. R Burton
is the leading man in the number of
promised votes. and he seems to be gain
ing some ground; he has not nearly
enough to elect him, however.
Mayor {. Hood is close up to Mr.. Bur-
ton and his strength comes from every
part of the state One of the most en-
couraging things about Major Hoods
candidacy is that very large number of
members have expressed themselves
favorable to him as their second choice.
Major Hoods workers are cultivating
the second choice sentiment and when
the weaker candidates get out of the
way, as they must sooner or later, Major
Hoods strength is expected to be greater
than any other candidate
Joseph w. ADV is today conceded 10
be the third man in the race with Sena-
tor Thacher close behind Senator
Thacher has about fourteen votes from.
the Second district that will stay with
nlm as long as ne Is canQlQato or as
long as there IS any hopes of combina-
ton in his interests, but it is asserted that
the Thacher votes cannot be delivered to
any other one candidate or leastwise that
Senator Thacher will never be able to
deliver them.
Cy Leland, who, when he entered the
race, was considered a strong man on
account of his reputation for political
shrewdness. is now said to be losing
ground daily. Mr. Burton is credited
with breaking into Leland's ranks, while
the candidacy of Senator Lucien Baker
of Leavenworth, takes four votes which
would naturally go to Leland.
Baker and Smith are waiting for dead
lock, in event of which each hopes to be
the man to be united on.
1t is predicted today that the senatorial
nomination will not be made in one eau
Gus, and that it may take thirty days to
bring about an election.
The talk about Ingalls, as likely to come
in and scoop the platter is dying out.
Many of the outsiders are for ingalls, but
the members OF the legislature who are
to elect the senators say they will unite
on one of the seven men who are az
nounced candidates.
