If there was ever disappointed man
In Topeka yesterday afternoon. that
man was Cy Leland. He came to Topeka
buoyed up with the hope that he might
be able to stem the tide of opposition and
induce Capt. ]. B. Johnson to keep his
hands off.
About the first thing that confronted
him when he reached Topeka was DEL
egation of politicians from his district
whose mission here was to induce Capt.
johnson to become the anti Leland can
didate for national committeeman and
delegate at-large to the national conven-
ton. He did not like the appearance of
things, but he still had hope that he
would be able to induce Capt johnson
TO keep out of his way.
He held hurried conference with a
few of his friends, and then went to
Captain Johnson's office. When he got
there the room was full of the very men
he wanted to avoid. There was A. J d.
White OF Atchson, w. w. Price of
Brown, Robert Robinson of Jackson, c. G.
Mccartney of Jefferson, B. II. Tracy of
Pratt, and Dave Keller of Leavenworth,
besides half dozen men from Topeka,
and all after his scalp. They were all in
Capt. Johnson's private office. and when
Cy appeared the door was closed The
Republican boss waited long time for
the conference to break up. but it didn't
break and he left the building the most

City Clerk McFadden has received an
interesting letter from c. E Shipper of
Lebanon, Kansas, who wants to sell the
city an installment of wild animals as an
attraction for the city park. He says
he has pair of elk, one black tailed
deer, one cinnamon bear and one black
eagle. He says he will take $500 for
the lot.
After the city has repaired the as
phalt pavements and made the neces-
sary Improvements in the park, the

MANLEY CANDIDATE.
VIII Not Go to the Republican Con-
VentiOn as a DeIegate.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Dec. 31-Many of ]. H.
Manley's friends have been anxious that
he should be one of the district delegates
to the national Republican convention,
and it is we'll known that Mr.. Reed
would be glad to have him selected, but
Mr.. Manley has absolutely refused to be
candidate ard has SO stated to Mr.
Reed.
Kennebec four years ago having had
the delegate at-large and the district
delegate, MIR. Manley stated that fair
play and party usage required that the
district delegate should go to Hancock
county, and that under no circumstances
would he be candidate.

THEY MAKE A BIG FUSS.
Office Seekers Who Don't Like KEEP
Iey's Appointments.
SOME HAD TO BE DISAPPOINTED.

A Good Thing That Some of the Most
RavenOuS Didn't Get What They De
manded-Changes Made.
The announcement of Kepley's ap-
pointees created something of conster-
nation. Nobody seemed to be satisfied.
The men who were assigned to minor
positions were angry because they did
not get the better places and the men
who got nothing were naturally not in
very good humor.
The city Populists had recommended
Ex-Police Commissioner l. 7. Yount for
position and they were sure he would
get it. The country Populists north of
the river had recommended Grant Nc
Cornell for under sheriff and they hoped
he would be appointed. Then there were
hundred others who had applied for
places and they all told what they would
do when the time came.
Then Larry Sheehan said he would rot
accept the position as superintendent of
the stone yard. John Jones said he would
never be assistant jailer, and Frank
Leech said he could not afford to leave
his farm for a job as jailer at 500 a
month.
Then some changes were made in the
arrangement Larry Sheehan was made
jailer and Frank Leech was told that he
might be second deputy. This leaves
the positions of superintendent of the
stone yard to be divided between John
Jones and A KuykendalI. the two col
ored men. Sheriff Kepley has the sin
cere sympathy of every man who ever
ran for office; if he administers his high
office on principles of right and justice
he need have no fear of disgruntled Of
fee seekers. The people will reward

SUTTON HAS A FIGHT.

There May bs Some Opposition to His
Getting Back TO tIle Legislature.
Judge w. B. Sutton, who has been
mentioned as a candidate for United
States senator and has lately announced
his candidacy for re- election to the legis-
lature, will have fight on his hands to
get back into the house.
The Salina Republican says his op-

Burton men in that county and there will

This was no doubt gathered from the
fact that Congressman w. P. Hepburn of
Iowa was at the Kansas City meeting
and asked that the Iowa man be given
some consideration by Kansas Republi-
cans. It is now said that an uninstructed
delegation was agreed on, so that Kansas
would not be prevented from voting for
Allison. a western man, if it is shown
that neither Reed nor Mckinley can be
nominated.
Congressman Hepburn not only visited
Kansas City, but he was in Topeka from
Friday night until Saturday morning and
several prominent Republicans. were

ger to talk with him.
