LEAGUE MEN ADJOURN
The Attendance Not as Large
as In Former Years.
Only About $50 Delegates Out
side of Topeka Present.
Election of officers and Delegates to
the Republican National League
Convention.

The Republican League convention
was not a success in attendance. Out
side of Topeka there were not more
than $50 delegates present There was
something out of joint for the Republ-
cans usually turn out in great numbers
to attend the annual meetings of the
Republican clubs.
This is not a year for enthusiasm
among Kansas Republicans and the
meeting here goes long way toward
proving that q large mass of the Re
publicans of the state are not satisfied
with the st. Louis platform. It was
also noticeable that there was no at
tempt to endorse Governor Morrill,
There was an immense crowd at
Hamilton hall last night but they were
people from Topeka. Most of them were
anxious to hear the financial question
discussed while others went because
speak. The gaunt ex-senator did not
stay, however. He was in Topeka only
about two hours.
The applause last night was gener-
Gus and the audience listened intently
to the Ohio congressman.
