ssTHEY MAY FORGET"
Silver Republicans May Not Endorse
All the Populist State Ticket

A meeting of the Free Silver Repub-
Hcan state central committee was held
yesterday afternoon in this city.
The committee decided to call the
state convention, to meet at Topeka on
June 18th, the apportionment to be
based on the vote of 1896. This will
make a convention of about three hun
dred delegates.
In regard to any further action of the
committee the delegates were extremely
reticent-
1t is rumored that all the members
of the committee were in favor of the
denomination of Governor Leedy and
Attorney General Boyle, these two Of
ficers, it is said, being the only officers
who have recognized the Free Silver
Republicans in appointments. In addi-
ton, the appointees under Governor
Leedy have also recognized the Free
Silver Republicans. 1t is also UNDER
stood that the committee discussed the
runor that one of the state officers is
opposing Governor Leedy for the re-
nomination, and it seemed to be the I'M
dercurrent intention when the con-
vention is held in June that it will for
get to nominate the aforesaid indiv1d-
ual, or will nominate someone else.

TALK ABOUT DEWEY.
The Committee on Resolutions Went
On Forever.

Ottawa, May 4.-The patriotic spirit
of the congressional convention found
ats first vent today during the consid-
Grafton of the resolutions which were
reported by Geo. w. Martin, editor of
the Kansas City Gazette, who was
elected chairman of the committee.
Mr.. Martin and his committee, in ses-
sion last night, decided to commend
Commodore Dewey and indorse the ma
tional administration in addition to re-
affirming the gold standard theories of
the St. Louis platform
When Commodore Dewey was being
considered, the members of the commit
tee became so much engrossed in a dis
cussion of the war that several hours
were consumed in conversation, and It
was . o'clock this morning when the
committee hurriedly adjourned until 9
o'clock, when the report was prepared
and submitted to the convention during
the afternoon
The resolutions congratulating Dewey
will be transmitted to the distinguished
naval officer.

Soldiery at Camp Leedy.

The war department has announced
that the government will bear the ex-
penses incident to the recruiting of the
volunteer soldiers in each state for but
six days prior to the date they are
mustered into the service of the United
States. Governor Leedy stated today
that while the period from the date the
first company was recruited to the date
set for muster into the United States
service is Is days, yet many of the
companies will have been recruited less
than six days when they are mustered
in, and that payment by the govern
ment for six days for the entire three
regiments will cover all expenses of
the troops while in the hands of the
state.

HEALTHY AT THE CAMP.
None of the Men Reported "Sick and

cit is wonderful" said Maj. DeNeid-
am, in charge of the hospital tent az
Camp Leedy, that none of the men
have been sick. For recruits from all
the different walks of life to go into
camp in such weather as most of them
have experienced it shows what they
are made of. It certainly shows that
they are a sturdy set of men and phys
icaIly able to stand a hard campaign"
IF the troops that have been in camp
during this rain are in the service for
three years they will not be apt to see
the hardships they have experienced
already" said Gen. Charles AIcCruTn-
II have heard many men who went
through the CivaI war say that the
hardships they experienced were no
worse in some cases for the entire en-
1istment than what our recruits have
just experienced. It shows that these
men have been carefully picked by the
examining surgeon. l am proud OF
them for there has not been complaint
and all are satisfied
The men in camp have worked hard
rain OF no rain. 1t has not been what
people commonly call feather bed sold
ierfng-" And the men have not been
loaftng around as is often supposed
The work of carrying the heavy tents
pitching them, ditcflfng them, carrying
wood cooking meals, walking guard
and all have sent the soldier boys to
bed tired and sleepy. The work has not
been confined wholly to the enlisted
men but the officers worked equally as
hard.

Stories Of Major Hoods Pulling Out

Hood here today fastened to stop the
rumor that he had about decided to
withdraw as a candidate for governor.
The utmost effort failed to discover the
origin of this report, but it gained con-
siderable circulation before the ma Or'S
friends discovered it They at once
made a concerted effort to stop it and
seem to have been successful.
In contradiction of the runOr several
delegates to the convention exhibited
letters from Major Hood in which he
says:
Il have long entertained an ambition
to be governor of Kansas. I have been
a Kansas Republican for % years I
now believe that cordial support from
my friends will enable me to secure the
nomination, and I sincerely hope that
you will be able to assist me-"
