What Is Evidently Concerted Display Of Enthusiasm for

Recipients Of Many Messages

the sentiments of the Colonel are find
ing a channel of expression. Dibble and
Johnson may get in and fight when the
time comes for the final mix-up, but
the orders on the floor will come from
Shortridge. The junior Senator from
Santa Clara County has a retentive
memory and he can use the exact and
forcible language employed by the Colo
mel. The presence of Cutter in the
Grant camp excites the inward wrath
of Dibble and Johnson. The three have
done together many a pretty piece of
politics, and they know the vulnerable
places of one another. One of these
fine days there will be open talk on the
floor of the convention.
The Burns men, while not confident
that the Colonel can win out, are not
in the slightest degree alarmed at the
Boosting of the. Grant forces. They
are as confident as ever that Grant
cannot win and Judge Dibble would
be willing to wager money that Grant
cannot gain one more vote. The foot
that Judge Dibble lost at Port Hudson
in 1863 may be cold, but the one ne has
with him now is still warm for Burns.
He is convinced that Burns or no
body will be Senator. This defiance is
generally expressed by the touts. They
have resolved that California shall

have but one representative in the
United States Senate If Burns is not
chosen.
There is talk tonight that Burns had
a motive in view when he authorized
Shortridge's speech in the joint Assem-
bly, to-day. 1t is said that he desires
that there shall be a record for future
reference wherein it will be shown that
he (Burns) was not responsible for the
deadlock and the adjournment of the
Legislature without the election of a
Senator The record is to show that he
offered to go into caucus and settle the
question and that proposition being re-
jected he offered to remain in session
three hours each day and continue the
balloting until a Senator was chosen.
A record of this kind will not affect the
Judgment of the people of California.
The responsibility for failure to elect

ton" and the Southern Pacific Rail-

that they attempted to foist man on

DIED IN THIS CITY
VIII be Buried from His Late
Residence This Afternoon.

Mr.. Adrian c. Cuenode. for several years
living at 800 South Lawrence avenue, died
Yesterday morning at his home, at 3:15
o'clock. after an illness Of about one week.
caused by an attack of malignant grip.
Mr.. Cuenode was born on the banks of
Lake Geneva, Switzerland, on March 8,
1865. and came to America and to Kansas
in 1876, bringing with him considerable
funds. He was an early resident of Clear
water, in Sumner county; later in Wichita,
and afterward drifting into the mountain
region about Leadville and Alpine, Colo
RADIO. at which latter place he was for
some time proprietor Of a hotel. After the
wild fever of mining excitement subslded
he gave up this occupation and at once
removed to Wichita, where he had lived
ever since up to his death yesterday. For
several wears he has been one of the trust
ed employees of the c. z. Potts Drug
company, and though never seeking a wide
acquaintance, was universally admired and
respected by all those who knew him best.
He became a member of the Presbyterian
and Reformed church in Switzerland in
MS DOynOOu ana Adu DeeH always d Stedu-
fast and staunch adherent of this faith up
to his last days. All his associates and
neighbors, both in this city, in Sumner
county, and IN Colorado, learned early to
respect him as one of the most strict and
conscientious integrity, and many OF his
most intimate friends share with his widow
and three children the sadness of the loss
Of a loved one.
The funeral will be held from his late
residence, 800 South Lawrence avenue, this
afternoon at 1:3O O'Clock, the services I'M
der the immediate charge of Rev. Bruce
Griffith, pastor of the Reformed church.
