Fail to Agree on One
State Ticket at Meeting
This Morning

fused to Accept Nomi-
nation for Governor-It
Was Offered Him

The much talked of get-together
meeting scheduled for this morning,
when it was expected the Republican
and Union Republican State Commit
tees would agree on a single ticket,
proved to be nothing more than a wait
ing game and both committees simply
killed time all morning.
The Republican committee meeting
was called shortly after IL o'clock at
headquarters, Tenth and Market
streets. and waited until 1 o'clock for
some proposition from the Unions. The
entire Union committee was at head
quarters on Market street between
Seventh and Eighth, but was not in
session. Members of the committee
aim they were waiting to hear from
7agulars some name that had been
agreed on for Governor
This state of affairs was not known
to the two committees until some of
the members met at Ainscow's res
taurant for lunch when matters were
explained. The Regulars claim to have
submitted the last proposition and
should therefore have heard from the
Addicks people.
II was a case of misunderstanding
and the two committees will meet again
this afternoon and get down to work.
T. Coleman Dupont left the Regu-
lar meeting about 1890 o'clock and
said they had been doing nothing but
waiting.
Simply EVaporated.
Former Senator Anthony Higgins
when he left said: I'VE can simply
evaporate. We have been waiting to
make connections"
f. B. shurter said: I'VE simply have
been killing time"
Chairman Ball: There was nothing
done. We were waiting for a prop
ostion from the Union committee"
A short time before the Regular COM
mittee adjourned for lunch Secretary
OF State Layton walked up past the
headquarters and when asked by a
reporter If there was anything new re-
piled looking up to the Court House
