FILLEY ON THE SCENE.

The St Louis Politician Arrives at Spring.
held-The Contest for Governor.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, July 22.-Chaun-
cey 1. Filley arrived last night for the
repu blican state convention and went
at once to the Metropolitan hotel,
which is just now the political center
of the town. Nobody in Missouri can
look more fierce when he chooses thar
Chauncey L Filley, and over the peo-
pie who saw him there came a feeling
as strong as though he had announced
it himself, that his coming meant war.
Early this forenoon there was the
greatest confusion in regard to candi-
dates for the gubernatorial nomination
and all kinds of rumors- The Cahoon
men said the fight would be between
Cahoon and R. E. Lewis The Wal
bridge men claimed Walbridge as the
strongest and Lewis as second, and the
Filley delegates from St Louis said
that the fight was between Davis and
Lewis
