cheese cloth to be revealed at the
proper time.
Along the back of the hall the wall
was decorated with INTERVENING bands
of red and blue cloth.
The delegates were divided in the
body of the hall into congressional dis
tricts. In the center section of seats
right in front of the speakers stand,
was the Third district, behind it the
Fourth.
In the next section to the left were
the Fifth and Sixth and f1anking both
these on the extreme right, the Sew
enth. At the right of the center sec
tton were the First and Second dis
tricts.
Streamers of pink. yellow and blue
tissue paper were hung from the ceiling
over the center of the hall
CROWDS ENTER THE HALL.
The hall was partly filled with dele
gates and spectators at 1880. By IL
O'Clock all the delegates seats were
filled with mumbling, talking men. The
temperature rose as the hall filled with
breathing, perspiring people and Wis
Ions OF life in a sweat box began to be
seen.
Most Of the faces familiar to Repub-
lican conventions were to be seen among
the delegates. Lit Crum squeezed his
heavy form up through the center aisle
mopping the perspiration from his
face. w. H. Smith of Marysville, guar
dian of Congressman Calderhead, sat
peaceful and happy among the Fifth
district delegates Ex-Governor ThOs.
A. Osborn was treading lightly up and
down the aisles with a smile for all. Ed
Greer and Wills White were among the
editorial faces Rev. H d. Fisher,
who came within one vote of being
chaplain of the United States house of
representatives. had a seat on the plat
form and looked willing to pray for the
convention.
A. c. Jordan of Lyons was busy. see
ing that every one was provided for.
Cy Leland came in at one minute before
half past eleven and walked without
mOlestatiOn along in front of the seats.
J. NJ. Simpson came along a few min
utes later.
A quartette, called the Mckinley
quartette, of SedgWick county was in
about Protection KViu Win which
was applauded, the mention of Nc
kinley's name receiving some applause,
the convention evidently not having got
greeted with hand-clapping and yells,
which were taken for an encore and the
quartette again sang a song about
cleaning out the nations barber shop,
meaning the ouSt1ng of Cleveland.
Rev John A. Bright was introduced
by Tom Doran Of Topeka, who said he
had an up-to-date song which he
would sing Rev. Mr.. Bright. who is
not much larger than a 13-year-old boy,
came out on the stage in his shirt
sleeves and announced that he would
sing Throw Out the Life Line" with
new words, and asked the convention
to sing the chorus which he recited to
It
Throw out the life line, throw out
the life line. someone is drifting away.
Throw oUSA~the life line. throw out
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-08-11

the life line, someone is Topping to-
day
Mr.. Bright's song stirred up the dele
gates and they showed the first enthus-
iasm of the day. Mr.. Bright ilustrat
ed the Topping with gestures and Gre
ated amusement.
AS the convention sang each chorus
Mr.. Bright said, Amt that fine or
splendid AS he asked them to re-
peat the last stanza some one yelled,
Let Wyandotte sing the chorus
At 20 minutes of u Cy Leland called
the convention to order and said the
reading of the call would be dispensed
with as every one knew it. Then he
asked Rev. Mr.. Bright to pray and as
the song and dance act was getting
into his coat he said, "Oh never mind
your coat"
Mr.. Bright in his prayer prayed for
"a. blessing on the present presiding
officer, on the one who is to succeed
him, on the secretary and especially on
the newspaper reporters that they may
give fair, reliable and accurate reports
of this convention, which is to nOmi-
nate a ticket which with Thy help is
to be victorious this fall
During the prayer Joe Bristow and
Cy Leland were the only. ones besides
the man who was praying, that stood
up, the convention being apparently
too tired to rise.
MORRILL, FORCES OvERWHELNf-
ING.
I. z. Lambert placed c. NJ. Sheldon
of Usage in nomination for temporary
chairman. J. S. Dean of Marion nomi~
mated J. F. Greenlee of Reno. The roll

ton unanimous, which was done.
Shawnee county cast sc votes for
Greenlee. When Wyandotte was called
there was a hush and every one list
ened attentfvely for the announcement
of its vote on account of the contested
delegation. There was a cheer when
each chairman announced % half votes
for Sheldon. Sheldon being the candi-
date of the Morrill, men his election is
an indication of the Morrill, strength.
H. J. Bone OF Clark county and Ii II
Lusk of Labette were appointed a COM
mittee to conduct Mr.. Sheldon to the
chair.
Mr.. Sheldon was introduced by Mr..
Leland and began his speech by a tri-
butte to the late Geo. T. Anthony.
Striking into politics he said: 1.-The
Republican party is the only one which
stands for the protection of the Amer
lean labOring man. It is the Republi-
can party against the field and what
field. The hosts are led by a boy with
a prize defamation. They are like an
empty bottle with only the label and
smell remaining.
Next in the procession under the red
flag are the anarchistic hosts of Herr
Altgeld and behind them, just out of
reach of the fumes of bad whisky are
the professional prOhibitionists, led by
their Saint-John.
Behind these come the silver barons
of the west and behind these a handful
of free silver Republicans.
These free silver Republicans Mr.
Sheldon characterized as men who, if
their clothing were removed, large por-
Gus plasters would be seen, representing

WHEN ARGUMENT FAILS
Blows Are Resorted To in Some of the
Political Disputes.

A fight occurred this noon in front OF
the Adams house in North Topeka
which is said to have been started by a
political argument. The men who took
part in it were both ex-pOlicemen.
PatrOlrnan Owen arrived when the
men were hard at it, and parted them.
S. Watts, who used to be on the police
force, and who is now connected with
the secret service of the Rock Island
and M. Jenkins, who used also to be
policeman, met in front of the Adams
house near the Union Pacific depot.
They engaged in a discussion, and it
soon resulted in their quarreling. Watts
is a. Republican, and jenkins a Popu-
list. well, after next November" said
Jenkins to Watts. 1--WE will get a steam
boat and take all you fellows out of the
country"
Il am a free born American citizen
and you would have a nice time getting
me out of the country" remarked
Watts
7 don't believe you are an American
citizen" answered the other.
Il know that I am, but I doubt thsid
you are" retorted Watts.
This made Jenkins very angry, 2 me ne
the two clinched. ~
Watts seemed the stronger, for ~ ~hlll
had his man on the sidewalk when the
trolman owen arrived and pulled

with the prospect of a. bitter, hard
fought campaign before them the Re
publicans of Kansas met in state con-
vention in Hamilton hall today.
The intense heat of the past ten
days and the prospect of its repetition
today had caused the committee in
charge of the arrangements to place
electric fans at four different places in
the hall to stir up the atmosphere in
case there should not be agitation
enough in the convention to do it.

JUSTICE MARTINS POSITION.
Is Believer in Free Silver, But Bows
to the Party's Will.

The fight for chief justice continued
to be the one in which the most interest
was taken all last night and this morn
ing.
David Martin appeared at the head
quarters of his workers last evening
The Carver men and the opposition to
Martin continued to make a fight on
him on the ground that his Repu bl1can-
ism was not a first class article. To
correct this the judge gave out the fol-
lowing statement;
II am not very patient with those
who, for a purpose, question my loyalty
and devotion to the Republican party;
but I will cheerfully answer your cOur-
teOus question. 1 Joined the Republi-
can party forty years ago; have always
supported its platforms and its cand1-
dates. have never resigned from the
party, and have never yet been expelled
from it. I am still a member of the
party. claiming my individual share of
the glory of its great achievements and
its history, and, as ever before, con-
tributing my individual influence ard
assistance to its success.
In the present campaign, am eSpe-
cially glad of the nomination of Major
William Mckinley as our national
standard bearer, and earnestly desire
his election, both because he is our most
distinguished representative of the prin-
cipIe of American protection, and be
cause of his record in congress upon the
financial question.
THE St. Louis platform suits me in
every particular, except the financial
plank as some of our party cOnstrue it.
I would have preferred the readOptiOn
of the Minneapolis platform the
clearer declaration in favor of bimetal-
hsm. to which cause am very much
attached. If could have my individ-
ual way about it our party would take
a more aggressively friendly and fight
ing position for silver than the major
ity deemed safe and wise. It is, how
ever, the right of the majority to make
the platform; and it is the duty of the
individual members of the party to get
together in the general struggle for par
ty success.
Il am sure that you will find that no
friend who knows me will doubt my
RepubIicanism.'
The Martin men claimed last night
that they would have all the delegates
in the First district except a few in
Doniphan county, and that they would
have about half of the Fifth district.
They also said that they would have
large following in each of the other dis
tricts and predicted the election as an
assured fact.
