were quite number Of changes. When
IL was completed Seaton had 172, Stanley
219, Hood 1875, Funston 1S1, Edwards 81,
Coburn 72, Hessin 1876. The total
showed that six votes had been cast
more than there were delegates, and the
ballot was thrown out. Ballot-box stuff
flng is not an uncommon thing on the
part OF Republicans, and 1t Is not sur
prising that 1t should be resOrted to In
q Republican convention. At this point
Hessins delegates tried to secure an adj
iournment until evening, but the mo-
tlon was voted down. The rOll-call be-
gan again and few changes were shown
at first
After Douglas county had been
called Fred DumOnt Smith withdrew the
name of w. G. Edwards and divided the
vote of Edwards county between Hood
and Stanley. The small western coun-
ties which had been voting for Edwards
voted solidly for Stanley. Marshall
county started the stampede by leaving
Hessin for Stanley. Miami deserted
Funston and did the same. A general
break to Stanley began and his nom
nation was assured. The rOll-call ended
by Wyandotte gathering up its previous
scattering vote and going solidly for
Stanley. Dan Anthony changed Leav-
enWorth's vote to Stanley and Cherokee
followed suit. Ike Lambert got the at
tentiOn of the chair and gave Lyon
county's delegates, which were Hoods
home supporters, to Stanley, and he
thereby secured twelve votes more than
were necessary to a choice AS usual,
the convention went wild. Slower,
Funston's manager, moved that the
nomination be made unanimous, and
the motion was carried with whOop.
II being impossible to quiet the crowd
enough to do anything an adjournment
was taken until 1880 in the evening.
When the evening session was called
to order the crowd insisted that Stanley
make q speech He said that he had
lived In the State for twenty-five years
and had tried to merit the confidence
and esteem of the people. He told the
delegates that he would never lead the
party where any respectable citizen

feated candidates came forward and
promised to be good during the cam
paign.

miscuous repeating and the ballot was
thrown out. There were forty more
votes reported than there were dele"
gates. The third ballot gave the NOM
lnatiOn to Richter, the vote being, Rich
