Kansas Democrats Reported as Not Agreed
on the Basi, OF Representation.
TOPEKA. Kan, Feb lit is likely
that the mem bers of the democratic
state central committee will mix up on
the question of basis of representa-
tion when they meet here February -
to arrange for the state convention
which will elect delegates to the ma
tionaI convention. The contest will
show the relative strength of the
gold and silver forces of the
committee, and the side that wins
probably viii control the action of the
state convention on the money prob
lem. The silver men want to base the
representation on the vote cast for Da-
vid Overmyer for governor in 1894,
giving one delegate for every - votes
and major fraction thereof. Such a
representation would make a conven-
tion of 3g7 delegates. The silver
men claim that with Overmyer's vote
as d basis. the counties which were
formerly democratic strongholds and
generally controlled state conventions,
but which cast light vote in 1894,
will be reduced in strength, while the
central and western counties which
cast a fair vote for Overmyer will have
a majority of the delegates.
