A few minutes later Hitler Horton was
sitting beside a bald-headed man at
a desk. The chairman had his glasses
on, and he was making figures. Selb,s
desk was closed, but the secretarys
secretary was making out list OF the
candidates on the Kiefer ticket and
their residences. There were a couple
of ward heelers sitting about the room
waiting for something to turn up. II

the matter last night. He made his
position very clear in these words:
There is but one Democracy, that

sidered the Scannell people except per-
sonally, and would not consider any

say anything about the ticket but he
did say goed.-deal about Mr.. Drake,
and most Of oWfrat he said was in the
way of inveCbiVeY4coupled with a de-
claration to the effect that he was go

He had with him an affidavit, which he
said would make sail sorts of trouble
for Drake. He explained why:

Col. Kiefer insists on visiting the West

Yesterday morning there was a meeting OF
the Russian brotherhood, and a number of
them sent for the colonel. After he arrived,
some opposition to giving him hearing ap-
peared and Col. Kiefer kept waiting for
some minutes. Finally he was admitted and
made short talk.
A number left while he was talking, and on
tho whole it not as warm reception
as he might have desired.

Edward Feldhauser Is going to make
trouble for some, of the Seventh ward
Republicans who were in the fight

will be handicapped this year on ac-
count of the fact that he will have to
work against organized labor, and the
labor unions have many adherents
among the BOhemians.
Even the persuasive eloquence Of
Tams BiXby, who was sent for on pur-
pose. was not effective in getting one
very active Republican leader back into
line for Kiefer. Harris Richardson re-
fused to be cajoled by Tams and he
paid no attention to threats. He re-
turned threat for threat. and Tams left
him as he found him-not outspoken
for anyone else, but positively and UNI
equivocally against the colonel. Mr..
Richardson was among those who, in
earlier days, was thrown down by the
colonel. and he don't forget. In his
delight at finding in the Republican
convention a man who could possibly
beat Kiefer for the nomination he let
his enthusiasm get the better Of his
Judgment and he supported Mailer 50
hard that he beat Donahower.
Tams Bixby is not infatuated with
the chances of Kiefer's success. He
knows the situation pretty thoroughly
in this town, and he gave it out when
he saw the condition of affair, that
Kiefer had done but one wise thing:
He appointed his personal enemies on
his committee and placed them so that
they could not go out openly and fight
him. He didn't strengthen his COM
mittee much by his action but that
doesn't make much difference, says the
astute Tams. for the colonel will make
a personal campaign. Hitler Horton and
a few others might be dangerous if per-
mitted to roam around without a muZ-
