The meeting was an extremely en-
thusiastic one, and the room was filled
with Republicans anxious to hear the
discussions brought before the meet
ing
The first question brought before the
convention was the election of delegate
to the county convention and the plan
advocated by the Eagle was adopted
On a motion made by c. II. Luliug
that the delegates to the county con-
Vention be elected in the usual manner
Instead Of by the hOch-poch mode pro-
vided by the Crawford county system.
This question was thoroughly discuss
ed by S. s. Casad, G. W. Harvey, c. H
Luling and William Jewett, and was
adopted BY vote that assigned the
new tangled method to the political
grave Of oblivion, as far as Sedgwick
county Republicans are concerned.
j. c. Richey moved that delegates 10

ton should be elected at the same
county convention, which was adcp-
ted.
1t was carried that the county conven
ton should be held on Thursday March
3, and that the primaries should be held
bn Saturday February %, at the usual
voting places in the county, at the US
ual time Of holding primaries in the
county, q to D. mo- and in the city
from 4 to Z p. m.
On motion the chairman was author
ized to appoint a committee Of five on
finance; seven on arrangements; two
on quarters, five on decorations, sixty
