TO HEAP GOALS OF FIRE
Morrill, Managers Propose to
Nominate TrOutman
For Lieutenant Governor Pro-
vided Morrill, Wins.
This is in the Interest of Harmony
and to Strengthen the State Ticket

The managers of Governor Morr1L's
campaign are so confident of his nom1-
nation that they are talking among
themselves as to who will be a suitable
running mate for the governor on the
ticket.
Many names have been discussed
Their idea seems to be to get some man
who will materially strengthen the
ticket Their latest plans are that in
case they have enough votes in the con-
vention to renominate Governor Nor
rill on the first ballot to have someone
make a little speech and refer to the
splendid endorsement of the admins
tration which has just been given and
move that the endorsement be contln-
ued all down the line and nominate
Jim Troutman for lieutenant governor
This may seem to sound like a strange
story But in view of the fact that the
Simpson Burton crowd have sent to
Troutman twice and asked him if he
would accept the second place on the
ticket in case Morrill, were nominated
on the first ballot there seems to be
good reason to believe that such is
their plan.
Troutman, it is said, told them that
he was running for governor and that
such talk or propositions could not be
considered.

the merchants can not shoulder the

I'VE have not yet decided what we
will do about an individual float. We
have had drawings and an estimate
made but we do not know whether we
will have one built or not
NJ. Snattinger of Barnum & Co, said /:
There should be some concerted action
of the merchants to insure the success
of our entertainment. 1t would be bet
ter to have nothing at all than to have
something that would be a disappoint-

I believe that there will be about
$4,000 people here. That will be a very
big crowd The largest crowd we ever
had was in 1882 when it was estimated
that there We're sc, 900 people here. You
cannot tell what the people will do.
Some revival is needed in Topeka. It
has been several years since we had a
