tiOnal committee, was at the Waldorf
Astoria last night So was H. G. Payne,
national committeeman from Wiscon-
sin.
Mr.. Payne was asked whom he fav-
ored as President McKinley's running
mate to be nominated at the conven-
ton. Three weeks ago he said he was
in favor of a New Yorker whose politi-
cal life is ended. Mr.. Payne said last
night he had talked with this man and
that now he no longer regarded him as
a possibility.
But we western men," he added,
'think the nomination should go to
New York"
1t was suggested that there was only
one avowed candidate in this state.
do you favor Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff" was asked.
Il must refuse to discuss the matter
any further" said Mr.. Payne, with some
emphasis.
thought of the statement made by VIII
liam J. Bryan that he would stick to the
sixteen to one policy. He reflected a
moment and said:
ASK John NJ. Allen of Mississippi
"IN tell you what I think " said Mr..
Allen. 1T is my guess that sixteen to
one is a. sure winner We have other
cards, too, up our sleeves and it is those
other cards that Senator Hanna is
afraid Of"
Bryan is right in one way" broke in
Senator Hanna IF he is nominated it
Will be the old thought over again,
and it looks as if Bryan would be NOM
mated. That is about all there is to
the question"

TIN MURPHY HERE.
Clever Comedian Had Narrow
Escape in Railway Accident.


Tim Murphy, the exponent of "dry"
humor, is in Topeka today. At the
Crawford theater tonight he will be
in 1.-THE Carpetbagger.' the historical
comedy written for him by Opie Read
and Frank PiXley two years ago.
Mr.. Murphy is extremely happy that
he is in this city today. His happiness
is not due to the fact that he is par
ticuIarly in love with Topeka, but to
the fact that he and the members of
his company narrowly escaped enter
ing another sphere by means of a rail-
road accident a few days ago.
The company was on its way to Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, in a special Pullman at
tached to the caboose of a freight train.
the car broke, and as the train was
running up grade, the detached Pull
man commenced to follow the track in
the other direction at a rapid rate. A
second freight train was following the
first and the engineer discovered the
runaway sleeping car just in time to
greatly reduce the speed of his train.
The engine and Pullman collided with
sufficient force to shove the head of one
of the members of the company
through the car window and throw the
remaining number out of their berths
in various positions.
Mr.. Murphy will be seen by a large
audience at the Crawford theater to-
night, and promises to make curtain
speech during the course of the per-
Torrance This will be good news to
the Topeka theater- goers. who saw him
in ''Old Innocence" two seasons ago,

ton is urgently requested.
