PROBABLE DATE FOR HOLDING THE
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.


of the state Together in May so That
Place and Date Can be Fixed Upon-The
Date VIII be Chosen without Regard to
the Date selected by the Populists as
Your Uncle Cyrus Does Not Believe in
Paving Any Attention to That Party
at All.
Topeka, Kan, March 25.-Cy Leland, |
who is in the city today, informed the /
correspondent OF the Eagle, that he |
would call the state central committee
together some time in May for the pur-
pose of issuing a call for the Republi- |
Fan state convention.
Personally Mr.. Leland is in favor Of |
holding the state convention between |
the middle of July and the 1st of Au-
gust In response to a suggestion that |
the committee might decide TO wait until |
after the 18th of August. when the Pop |
hlists hold their convention, he said:
1.-The Republicans of Kansas need no |
pointers from the Populists as to who |
should be nominated for their state |
ticket. We are going 10 win with a |
hurrah this year in Kansas, and we are |
Did enough and strong enough and in |
dependent enought 10 put up winning |
ticket without any waiting TO see what |
the Pops do first. SO far as I am con- |
cerned the date of the Populist conven- |
ton will cut no figure in fixing the date
IF the Republican convention. Any
time from the middle of July to the 1st
Of August viii suit me. The national
convention will then be safely out Of the
way and the boys will hae an opportuni-
~ 70 take their bearings and getv ready
and rested up for the state campaign"
Mr. Leland refused to state whether
his choice for the location for the con-
Vention was Topeka or Hutchinson.
Both towns have announced their can
didacy and hot fight will be had over
the result. Everybody admits that To-
peka is naturally the location for all
state conventions, but the city has so
for failed to provide a suitable auditori-
UNI. The question Of building a hail
which will hold 5000 people is now be-
ing discussed. If this is done the con-
vention will certainly come here.

ONE AT A TINE.

man, Treasurer Otis l.. Atherton, Audi
tor George f. Cole and Secretary OF
State w, c. Edwards, members of the
state board of assessors, went to Pitts
burg TO assess some property of the
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf rail-
road. Colonel L. L. Martin. president
of the road, was at Pittsburg in his
private car, and extended an invitation
TO the assessors TO eat with him during
their soiourn in the city. Kansas
man always avails himself of a good
thing, and Colonel Martins hospitality
was promptly accepted.
Just before dinner was announced Col.
Martin ordered some liquid refresh
ments, but the Kansans did not imbibe.
The colonel's face showed surprise, but
he said nothing. At supper time he
again pressed the beerage button, bat
IS his guests behaved as they did al the
noon hour. This was too much for the
colonel, and he inquired the cause for
the backwardness.
Everybody was silent for a minute,
and then Mr.. Atherton spoke.
The fact is, Colonel he said, I'VE
are afraid of one another. Try us one
at time. and We'll stay with you as
long as the liquor holds out"
Colonel Martin saw the point, and
transacted business accordingly from
that time on.
