CAMPAIGN IN sEDGWIcK.

The Eagle in Line.

Ihe Eagle IN Line.
Wichita, Kas. Sept. 1s.-(Special) In no
county in Kansas is the political situation
so complicated as in Sedgwick, and the
fight continues to grow warmer as the
campaign progresses. At the outset things
looked rather discouraging for the Repub-
licans. The Populists made extravagant
claims of recruits from the ranks of free
silver Republicans. and factional differ
ences in the county convention resulted in
the nomination of boilers ticket. the Sc
lection of a contesting delegation to the
state convention and the appointment of
an Independent Republican county CEN
trail committee. The Eagle at first lent its
influence to the boilers. and Colonel Muir
dock was one OF the delegates elected to
the state convention by the bolters: The
state convention sat down on the delega-
tion of bolters. the Eagle recently fell INTO
line for the regular ticket, and 1t Is ex-
pected that the superfluous candidates will
be advised by the independent county
central committee to quit. The restoration

Republicans has been successfully accom-

Bath, Me-. Sept. 1s.-Mr. Sewall candi-

cry which has gone up all over the country
for his retirement from the free silver tick
ct.
He says: There is absolutely nothing in
this talk about my withdrawal. The thing
is absurd. 1 shall not retire under any
circumstances. AS for the statement that
Senator German or any of the Democrat
ic managers desire me to retire from it, or
that the party leaders are bringing in

is pure falsehood. On the contrary, all the
pressure on me has been the other way"

BISMARCK FOR BIMETALLlsM.
