TIE OVATION DIDN'T COME
Gov. Morrill, Ready to Respond to
Cheers at Kansas City.

In connection with the recent Wyan-
dotte county convention wrangle, there
was one funny incident which has just
come to light. During the progress Of
the convention, Governor Morrill, was
closeted in the office of Mayor George
J. Twiss of Kansas City, kan, in the
Portsmouth building. just two blocks
away from the armory wher the con
vention was being held
He was awaiting the result of the
convention, to become the principal
figure in a great demOnst ra1ion.
Trickett had wired Morrill, that the
convention would be instructed for
him. A splendid programme had been
arranged for the occasion, which was
to have taken place at Chelsea park.
The governors presence was to have
been announced as soon as Morrill, dele
gates were selected. This, it was fig
ured, would occasion great rounds Of
cheers and the convention would at
once adjourn to the park where the ova-
ton was TO be held and the Morrill,
boom launched.
1t was wEile sitting in Mayor Twiss'
office. with the thoughts running
through his mind as to how he would
respond 10 the vociferOus occasion, that
the governor, looking out the window,
beheld the procession Of 200 men com
ing UP the street with Chairman Tooth
aker mounted on the table.
This was a sad blow to Morrill,. His
excellency was told all about what had
happened. and without further delay
There We're not more than q half dozen
people in the city who knew of his
presence. The Morrill, boom has been
postponed indefinitely and viii have to
be launched in other waters 1t was q
great disappointment for Trickett.
