d p,aps by wnich the demands will be

ed plans by which the demands viii be
submitted to Governor-eIect Leedy.
Lewelling will do the manipulating as
he is supposed to have the greatest in
f1uence with the goyeTnor-elect.
II has been rumored that the in-com-
ing administration would lock with but
little favor upon any of the former Pop
ulist state office-holders except, per-
haps, john Breideathal and r. II. Sem
pie, who might seek preferment at this
time. This has set the Lewelling forces
to work and il is stated that unless they
are recognized the old fight upon Breid-
enthal, extended to Leedy and the new
administration, VIII be opened up with
much vigor.
It was agreed at the conference yes
terday that the name OF Mr.. Prather
be presented TO Governor Leedy for a
place upon the board Of railroad commits
sioners.
The influence of Lawelling and that
faction of the party was pledged TO Mr..
Quarles for warden OF the penitentiary.
Should Leedy decline TO appoint Lew
elling's friends, it is claimed that Lew
cling, who will be member of the sem
ate. as viii some Of his personal friends.
VIII attempt to prevent the confirmation
of Leedy's appoin tments to other posi-
tons.
This position has been assumed by
Lewelling and mis- friends 70 force Leedy
and his advisers tn recede from their
reported agreement to ignore the former
administration in filing the various po-
sitions for the ensuing two years. Should
the fight be carried TO the senate il will
prove interesting, although Leedy's
friends would be in the majority.
Upon a proposition OF that kind, how
ever Senator Lewelling figures that the
Republicans would support him, if. for
no other reason, than TO complicate af-
fairs for the administration. AS the
Populists have twenty-seven of the forty
members of the senate, a split in their
forces, if not to evenly divided, would
give the Republicans the balance of pow
er. This contingency is a part of Mr..
dwellings scheme and rumor has il
that. he will leave nothing undone to
afford the opposition just that kind OF
an opportunity.
Mr. dwellings plan to step into a po-
sition of power in the legislature may
not fail, and again it may come to
naught. Whatever may be the result,
his plans are deeply laid and unless rec
ognized he will fight to finish. He re-
lies upon the members of his party to
come to his terms, rather than submit to
the annoyance and humiliation of open
warfare.
1t now appears that Lewelling and his
friends must have office, or an effort TO
disrupt the party will follow.
