with me that came in from Doniphan
county last night with 26 names signed
to it; one more than the blank spaces
provided for. A letter accompanying
the petition states that many more
wanted to sign and that nearly all of
the Republicans in the precinct are
for Mr. Anthony and the writer pre-
diets that he will carry Doniphan
county
Il personally circulated Senator Cur
tis and Mr.. Anthony's petitions in
I,eavenworth county and found that
the Republicans were nearly unani-
nous for both of them. In the 13 pre-
cincts of the city 1 did not encounter
half a dozen voters who were not for
them. The sentiment is equally strong
for them at the Soldiers Home and IN
most parts of the county. Mr.. Antl.-
onv's majority in Leavenworth county
in the primary contest two years ago
was 1880 and it will be much larger
next August. Leavenworth county peo-
ple started out in earnest to vote for
Mr.. Anthony in the regular election II
November two years ago when his ma
iority was increased to $3.50, nearly
4.0e0."

Shawnee Democratic Delegation
Has Internal Trouble.
Object to Thomas DictatiOn on

The Shawnee delegation to the Dem

over whom it would support for ma
tional delegates from the First district
Frank Thomas, the Clark leader il
Kansas, it is claimed, tried to overdo
his part in debating to his home coun-
ty delegation and had to back up and
take fresh bearings just before leaving
for Hutchinson.
The Shawnee delegation has been in

vote for Frank Thomas for First dis
trict delegate to the national conven-
ton. But it will not agree beforehand
to vote against Jim Orr of Atchison.

too far. The members personally pre-

agreed to support any other delegate
that the other counties of the distric I
decide upon as the best man. The
other delegate comes from the county

delegation will not rush in to dictate
who he shall be.
1t is said that Thomas wanted a man
from Nemaha to go with him and urged
the Shawnee delegation to agree upon
that man and mark Orr off the list
There was a storm brewing for awhile
but the delegation held firm and Thom-
as had to yield. 1t looks like Orr aac
Thomas from the First district, both
instructed for Clark.
The Shawnee delegates left early this
afternoon for Hutchinson. They were
of the opinion that the Clark men.
dominating the convention, would hold
out for a solid Clark delegation from
Kansas. They will have nearly 100
majority in the state convention and
can dictate that the entire delegation
be instructed for Clark. Barney Sheri-
dan. Clark leader, will try to get these
instructions through the convention
with a fair show of success.
