WEBB M'NALL HAVING FUN.
Is Here With Set of Resolutions to
Introduce

Webb ATcNaII, the free silver Repub-
hcan from the Sixth was seated in front
OF the Copeland this morning and was
the center of quite &. crowd of his old
Republican friends who got around him
and asked him what he meant by the
course that he had taken politically
McNall had a set of resolutions that he
would pull on the fellows that came
along to talk to him. They were as
follows:
Whereas, For the last sixteen years
the Republican platforms of county
congressional, district and state have
declared in favor of silver and gold as
standard money, and whereas the said
platforms and the senate of the state
when Republican have declared in IA
voI of the free coinage of silver and
whereas the Republican United States
senators of Kansas have introduced
and urged the passage of free silver
bills and for so doing have been indors-
ed by the Republican press and the
Republican voters of the state, and
whereas the free coinage of silver has
Deen promised by thousand sacred
pledges, made in thousands of school
houses, by thousands of Republican
speakers; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the delegates Of
the Republican party. in state conven-
ton assembled, believing that it will be
in line with the sanctity of pledges
made, recommend that the Republican
voters cast their ballots for the electors
of Bryan and Sewall, thereby repudiat-
ing Grover Cleveland Republicanism
McNau would ask the delegates to
support his resolution in the convention
and that would create a laugh every
time. Then there would be an argu-
ment and a lot of 'joshing'' on each
side. Webb did not get very much en-
cOuragement but he is not discoura ged,
for as he says:
7 believe with ingalls, that inasmuch
as the convention has the acrobatic
faculty of jumping from one platform
to another I hope to see them jump
over onto this one

wYANDoTTE CONTEST.
State Central Committee Takes H old
of the Matter and Settles It

OF the maBgSI ana S6GGlSS IL
The state central committee took up
the matter of the contest between the
two factions in WyandOtte county last
night and settled it. That is the COM
mittee has placed the matter in such
shape that it can now be settled in a
fair manner to both sides, and if the
two factions continue the fight it will
show that they are placing the petty
offices of Wyandotte county above par
ty principles and the success of the state
and congressional tickets.
The state central committee seated
both of the contesting delegations on
the floor of the convention and gave
every delegate seated a half vote. The
committee also recommended that a
county and that the two Republican
up and voted on and that the winning
ticket be declared the Republican tick
ct and that the other ticket be retired
The delegates to the convention all
signed the recommendation and took
their seats in the convention today
Whether they will carry out the pro-
gramme when they get home or not re-
mains to be seen Getty, who is the
Trfckett candidate for state senator is
said to have said last night that he did
not propose to follow the advice of the
committee, that he had been nominated
and that he proposed to run. It is

Followers Anarchists.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention:-For nearly a quarter of
a century few Republican state con-
VentiOns have been held which have
not prof1ted by the experience, been
benefited by the wisdom and charmed
by the eloquence of Governor George
r. Anthony, whose earthly remains
were sorrowfu1ly laid away in this city
on Saturday last. Governor Anthony
is dead; the silver tongue is silent; the
earnest voice is stilled; the wearied
hands lie peacefully across the breast
which for more than three score years
and ten sheltered a heart as true as
steel.
Those who knew him not were wont to
call him cold,
But those who knew him best have seen
that heart unfold
When touched by sorrows tear Or
friendships hand.
ITO be accorded the high privilege of
presiding over a Republican state con-
vention at any annual meeting is a
great honor indeed, but doubly so this

POTTER WITapRAws.
He Will Probably Be Followed by
Troutman Later On.

After the adjournment of the Repub-
1ican state convention at noon the
anti Morrill, men began to consult as
to the proper action to be taken At
the headquarters O. each of the can
didates a consultation was held. At
Potter's rooms when his workers came
together Potter expressed himself as
of the opinion that the best thing that
could be done was to withdraw and let
Morrill, be nominated by acclamation.
Some of his followers urged him to
stay in the race as it was not best to
let it be said that Morrill, was the
unanimous choice of the party. But
Mr.. Potter said that he did not see
what use there was in carrying on the
fight in face of the vote on temporary
chairman.
Troutman has not expressed any
opinion on the subject, but his leaders
are in consultation and it is evident
from what has dropped from them
that they will decide to withdraw from
the contest before the convention con-
venes again at o'clock. With the
other two out of the race, Peters viii

A NEW LINE IN NEW MEXICO.

A line Of roa | which will open up one oil
the finest grazing and agricultural por.
tions of Texas aud be of material import
ance to the Atchison from the fact that
the business of that section will be han
died east over that road, will probably be
built during the coming ummer or fall,
says the Topeka Journal. The proposed
line is an extension of the Pecos Valley
railway, and will run from the present
terminus Of that road at Roswell, N. NJ, to
Panhandle, Texas, where it will connect
with the Panhandle branch Of the Atchison.
The Pecos Valley road now runs from
Pecos, Texas, to Roswell, N. NJ, a distance
of 1874 miles. The road is at present in the
hands Of a receiver, Receiver Faulkner
acting as general manager. The proposed
line will cover a distance of about 2BO
miles.
Vice President d. B. Robinson, of the
Atchison, who has been In and out Of
Topeka recently, stated that the line be-
tween Roswell and Panhandle had been
contemplated for some time, and would
probably be built this year il Receiver
Faulkner could raise the required amount.
1t is not the intention Of the Atchison to
aid in the construction Of the new line,
and, II built, it will be operated as an indie
pendent road, under traffic contracts with
the Atchisea. Receiver Faulkner is now
10 the east, on business connected with the
proposed extension.
Besides the immense amount Of cattle
business which the new road would handle
from the grazing country of Texas, it is the
intention of the. management to promote.
passenger traffic by es tablishing a summsr
resort at the hills in the vicinity of Roswell.
The altitude in that section of the country
varies from 1000 to 1900 feet above the sea
level, this variation making it very suit
able for o health resort. Hunting is said
to be fine, bear. antelope and other wild
game being found 10 abundance. A sys-
tenn Of irrigation has been introduced in
this locality, the water being obtained from
a number Of small lakes, and 1t has been
found that the soil is especially adapted
for truck gardening.

The Cochiti land grant case, which comes
up in the United States supreme court on
Monday next, on motion to advance it on
the calendar, is of special interest
to the people Of this city, says the
Denver Republican, from the fact that a
large amount Of Denver capital has been
invested in the mineral portion of the
grant as claimed by the grantee. When
the discoveries of mineral were made in
this district, a number of Denver people
bought in and considerable development
was made with Denver capital. Among
others who secured mining property there,
is W. C...Wynkoop, who spent a large por-
ton of his time, two years ago, in the de-
velopment Of his claims.
