On'y One Jar Occurred and That Happened Because a Democrat Had Not Beou Informed Ihvt the Only Plank In the Democratic City Platform Was That the Capital" nominated Mr. Harrison Contrary to the Wishes of the Votara of Topea. The democrats held their cut-and-dried convention at the court house last night and everything went off accordiug to programme except one man's nioulh.

He evidently had not been informed that the Capital was to be the only issue of the democratic city campaign. At 8 o'clock Hon. Mike Heery, chairman of the democratic city central committee, called the convention to order. The coutt room was comfortably filled end when Beoretary T. M.

Hanley called the roll of delegates from the list printed in the there were leas than half a dozen absent and there were plenty of alternates present to take their places. On motion Mr. Heery and Mr. Hanley were elected chairman and secretary and then made the permanent officers. The usual committees were dispensed at the euggestion of Eugene Wolfe i fi rat.

WnO TOO UW uuuj i Speech. He said the time was propitious for the election of a democratic mayor one who was nominated on the broad platform of patriotic citizenship. The re-oent nomination, he said was one such as he had never before seen here before, one side run on the principles of broad citizenship and the other by the press gang. Mr. Wolfe then introdused the following resolutions which he said expressed his sentiments: We the democrats of Topeka in convention assembled, reaffirm our loyalty to tbe time honored principles of the party often expressed in its platform, and we do further declare: First We are in favor of the most economical administration of the affairs of tbe city in all its departments consistent with good government.

We favor the cutting down of the salaries of the officers of the city, and not the pay of the laborer. Second We favor the encouragement of all proper public improvements that furnish labor for the laboring classes and add to tbe growth and prosperity of the city. Third We condemn as un-American and un-democratio the shameful-abuse and villificatlon that was used by the chief paper of the republican party, the Topeka Capital against the opposing candidates of the republican parly in the late primary election held in tbe citv of Topeka, by which a man was nominated as a candidate with and by the power and influence of the newspapers of the city and not by an honest and fair expression of the voters of the party and we earnestly call upon every voter in the city who believeB in fair elections and is opposed to bossism by newspapers or any other combination, to join with us in rebuking the methods used to force the nomination of T. W. Harrison in the late republican primaries.

When he had finished reading Mr. Wolfe moved the adoption of the resolutions. The chairman was about to put the question when Joseph Marshall arose on tbe north side of the hall and aid: "Mr. President, can any one speak except the delegates inside the charmed ring?" Chairman Heery aaid he might de allowed to speak if the convention so desired. There were mutteriogs of "question" and a disposition to ignore any interruption of the programme but H.

M. Ives arose and moved that Mr. Marshall be allowed to speak. The permission was given and then Mr. Marshall said: I understand this ia ademooratio convention.

I supposed we had met here for the purpose of tending to our own business and I move to strike out all that part of the resolutions that refers to the methods employed by the opposition in conducting, their primaries. I hate to see this meddling in other people's business. I think if we tend to our own business it will be all thatiwe can do. Mr. Wolfe defended bis resolution in a few very brief remarks, He Baid he thought the convention had a right to critioize the methods of any party.

This was all the attention Mr. Mar- shall kick got. There were cries of the resolutions were put through with out a dissenting voice. 'John Armstrong then arose from his seat in the bald headed row and moved that the convention take an informal ballot on a candidate for mayor. The secretary called the roll and sixty-three votes were cast for Rankin Mason.

There was not one opposition vote and on motion the selection of Mr. Rankin was made unanimous by a rising vote. Mr. Mason was called to the stand. He said, "I thank you for this honor but I cannot fully express to you my thanks for the manner in which it comes.

The interest of the last few days Bpeaks out that individual citizenship and manhood are not yet dead in Kansas. We want to 6ay that the mayor of this city is to be selected by the people and not by tbe republican newspapers. There must be no evasion of the work that is before us, I believe I can be elected the next mayor of Topeka, but it can only Le done by an active campaign for right, honesty and manhood. If elected mayor Iflm going to try to be a hearty, big, whole souled officer, and I want no string tied to me. When a newspaper villihes and slanders a candidate for office without cause it ia time for men to rise up and say 'we will For one I am ready to bid a bold defiance.

They may Bay I am bidding for republican votes, but I say I am bidding for an honest, square election in 'lopeka. The people will not have a man forced upon them, and it is our duty to oppose it." Eugene Hngan was called on but he spoke very briefly. He said he expected to take an active part in the campaign ia favor of Mr. Mason. He said he had always doubted the sincerity of the republican refrain, ''Stand Up for Kansas," but that if republicans really were sincere in what they said, they now had an opportunity to vindicate their expression.

The way to do this, in Mr. Ha-gan's opinion, was to get in line and vote for Mr. Mason, a candidate who was the choice of the citizens of his party. A THIRD CANDIDATE. The Populists Will Fut a Ticket in the Field, City The populists have decided to nominate a candidate for mayor and primaries will be held Saturday evening to eleot delegates to a convention to be held in the populist league rooms in the office block next Monday night.

A. B. Whiting, Dr. McLallin and H. Root have been mentioned as likely candidates for the populists.

JMr. Whiting, however, told a Capital, reporter yesterday that he could conceive of no circumstances under whioh he could make the race. Mr. Whiting was hardly in favor of a third ticket. He thought that if some sort of a combination could be made with the democrats to run an independent candidate it might result in an election of their man.

The nomination of Rankin last night forestalls this and the populists have nothing else to do now except to nominate one of their own kind. It is believed that Dr. McLallin would consent to be a candidate. MORRILL MEN. Number of Supporters Gather to Talk Over the Situation.

Major E. N. Morrill's candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination can properly be regarded as dating from a meeting held yesterday at the Copelacd hotel. There were present ex-Governor Lyman U. Humphrey of Independence, Hon, Cyrus Leland of Tror, Chairman J.

M. Simpson of McPherson, Captain George Finley. Hon. William P. Hackney of Win field, Phil Kelley of White Cloud and Secretary Frank M.

Brown of the republican state central committee from Garnett. Major Morrill himself was over from Hiawatha to attend the conference. The meeting was an entirely informal one beld in the room occupied by Mr. Leland and Mr. Kelley.

Nothing was done but to talk over the situation. Major Morrill, after the meeting, said that he would be a candidate for the republican nomination, WANTS to hold on. A County Clerk Refuses to Issue a Certificate to His Successor. A mandamus case was begun' in tbe supreme court yesterday to compel R. S.

Crane, county olerk of Ford county, to issue a certificate of election to Harry Leideigh as county clerk for the term beginning in January. Crane was a candidate for re-election on the democratic ticket and Leigeigh was the republican candidate. When the vote waa canvassed by ihe county board it was asoertained that had received 436 votes and Crane 432 votes. The commissioners therefore ordered that a certificate be issued to Leideigh. County Clerk Crane refused to issue tbe certificate, claiming that six votes had been cast at Wright precinct by inmates of the soldiers' home who cannot legally rote there.

The writ of mandamus was allowed by the court and the case will be. heard December 7. Sutton McGarry and F. 1L Matteson of Dodge City are attorneys for Mr. Leideigh.
