SOME KANSAS "SCRAPS"
AS to Who Shall Be Placed on
the Ticket.
Court of Appeals Fight and a
Senatorial Row.
While the Perennial Wyandotte Dis
order Continues to Flow on Loud
and Malignant as Ever.

All the certificates of the nomination
Of candidates for state and various Of
fees have been fled or offered for filing
that can be thisyear. There are only two
contested nominations in the whole lot.
Judge Gillzeson and W L. Aaron. both
Of Hays City, claim that they are the
regular nominees Of the Democrats of
the western district of the northern di-
VISION of the court of appeals for the
office Of judge of that court The fight
between the two is the continue ton of
an old personal fight which began so
long ago that the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary. Whenever
one Of them has come up for an Office
the other has run against him if it was
possible to arrange a race. This year
they both got into the Democratic con
VenuOn and there was q bolt of part
of the convention and the two men
We're nominated. Which man was
nominated by the boilers and which
BY the regular convention is a question
that the board viii have to decide
Besides these two wou1d-be candi-
dates that claim to be Democratic, the
Populists have nominee for the same
Office The result Of the contest will
not cut much figure in the election, as
the Republican nominee will probably
be elected
The other contest is in the state sen
atorial district that is composed Of
Brown and DOniphan counties. SchiI-
ling and Fulton, both Of Brown county
are candida ties. These two counties
have been in the same senatorial dis

IN choosing the senator This year it
was the time for Brown county to
choose the man. The delegates sent
to the convention from Brown county
were in favor Of Schilling. and Schil-

Republicans of Doniphan county had
matters been fixed UP with Uncle Cy
Leland beforehand. But the Republi-
cans did not go and ask Cy and SO just
to teach them a lesson Cy said that
Schilling should net be nominated and
instructed the delegates from Doniphan
county to nominate some one else, as
a result Fultons name was sprung on
the convention and deadlock ensued.
Settling then had himself nominated
by petition and filed his petition. Full
ton got some kind of a nomination out
of a convention. and both men want to
be put on the ticket as the Republican
nominee
AS in the first case. the result Of the
contest viii proba bly, not affect the re-
suit of the election. as the opposition
have placed James Falcon of HiaWa-
tina in nomination and he is very likely
to be elected over either of the con
testants, as he is a very popular man
and q lawyer Of reputation second to
none in northern Kansas
The Republicans of Wyandotte coun-
ty are anxious to have their troubles
settled by some kind of board and
they have two men who claim they are
both the regular nominees of the Re
publican party for state senator in that
district. A history of this contest
would be a repetition Of the Buchan-
Trickett war, which has furnished
newspaper men with stuff to write
about when the weather was rainy and
news scarce and the rea ders with some
thing to skip 1t is probably that
the board Will refuse to consider this
contest and VIII leave them to fight 1t
