duce the following resolutions in the con-
Vention today 1t is an attempt upon
the part of Clark to get the controversy

Whereas. At the Republican congress

resulted IN each convention placing in
nomination 4 candidate for congress. one
nominating D R. Anthony. Jr.. and the
other nominating Charles Curtis. and the
said d Z. Anthony. Jr and said
Charles Curtis are each claiming that the
convention which nominated him was the
regular Republican convention Of said
district and that he is the regular Re
publican nominee and entitled To have his
name placed on the official ballot as the
regular nominee OF, the Republican party.
And Whereas. AT the Republican
congressional convention of the Second

March >. 1874. an unfortunate difference
arose among the delegates OF said con-
vention which resulted in two conventions
being held both claiming 70 be the reg

gre ssional district and also resulted in
each convention placing in nomination a
candidate for congress. one nominating
Henry J. Allen and the other nominat-
ing J. D. Bowersock. and the said Henry

TO punish anyone who gives up" Colonel
Blue then paid his respects to the con-
gressional situation in the First and Sec
ond districts, and was especially bitter
toward Henry Allen. He vas against, he
said, the convention recognizing and Civ
/ ing its seal of approval to the delegates
to the state convention elected by any
rump congressional convention. As far
as he was concerned, the Colonel con-
tinued, he was for the men whom the
Bowersock convention nominated in the
Second district and the Curtis convention
nominated in the First. This part Of Mr.
Blues speech was greeted with an APP
plause that prestages i'll for the chances
of those delegates to the national con-
vention in today's convention, and left
but little doubts in the mind of anyone
as to what the convention would do when
those contesting delegations should ask
for a hearing in the forum of the con-
vention. Mr.. Blue said he was opposed to
the caucus attempting to dictate whom
the convention should nominate. He paid
high tribute to Stubs, and said as
this was a year for drafting he was in
favor of going a step farther after draft
ing Hoch and he would now draft Stubbs
for chairman Of the state committee
This part Of the ColoneTs speech met
with an applause that showed that the
sentiment of the anti-machine was for
the Douglass county leader, who is per-
haps the most potent factor in the present
movement.

And Whereas, Such disputes tend to
disorganize the Republican party not only
in said congressional district, but in the
whole state and are liable to lead TO
party defeat in said districts; and
Whereas, This convention is the high
est party authority in this state. and it
is the duty of this convention as such
governing authority to investigate and
settle such disputes, and take all neces-
sary steps to prevent party disorgani-
cation and defeat; therefore be it
Resolved, That a committee of five
members of this convention be appointed
by the chairman of this convention TO
investigate said disputes and report to
this convention for it's further action
whether d. R. Anthony Jr.. or Charles
Curtis is the regular Republican nomi-
nee in the First congressional district
and also to report whether Henry j.
Allen or j. D. Bowersock is the regular
Republican nominee in the Second con-

Floor Managers Appointed.

While some of the delegates were howl
ing for more speeches and calling for
their favorites, others were demanding
that the caucus get down to business.
while others moved that caucus adjourn.
motion to adjourn was caught on the
rebound and held by the chairman. while
an enthusiastic delegate moved that the
chairman appoint floor managers to take
the lead of the convention, and this mo-
ton met with a hearty. response Mr.
Dolley moved that the floor managers
shall consist Of D. w Mulvane, Carr w.
Taylor and r. w. Blue and these are to
be the machinists who are to run the
new machine in the convention.
There was nothing but the utmost good
humor throughout the caucus. and there
was none of that vindictive spirit that
has been expected. AS one of the leaders
said there is to be no reprisals. no pun
ishments inflicted and no mutilation of
the remains. There is no question but
that the men now at the head of the
movement mean business. One prominent
politician declared it the most powerful
machine ansas has known for many
years. and the best that had ever been
organized. The caucus was in session
less than an hour and it was far from
being a star chamber affair Scattered
through the audience were several we'll
known members of the old machine. who
with but one exception gave respectful
hearing to the proceedings, if they did not
join in the proceedings.

Allen Favors Stubs.

X. \. Allen Of Chanute, when inter
viewed by the Eagle made the follow
ing statement: II am in favor of draft
ing Mr.. Stubs for chairman of the state
central committee. and while the accept
ance of the position would mean quite
financial sacrifice to him l think he Is
too loyal to the Republican party to re-
fuse the benefit of his services for the
campaign. In case Mr.. Stubs should
positively decline to accept the position
when rendered to him. as I believe It
will be l would then favor Mr.. Hoch's
choice from other available men, believ-
ing his selection would be in harmony
with the views of the other candidates
for state Offices
