MANY FOR HILL.
Hew York Has a Large Number of
Enthusiastic Supportors.
Kansas City, July 2. Richard Croker,
Dr. Copby, health commissioner of Key
York city, former Senator Murphy. An
drew Freedman and other leaders of
Tammany hall were the first of the New
Tork delegation to appear. They arrived
fatigued from the long hot ride and re
mained in their apartments most of Sun
day. Mr. Croker and Senator Murphy,
however, visited the convention hall dur
ing the afternoon. Neither would talk on
pontics.
"Tammany rather favors the nomina
tion for the vice presidency of a man
from some close western state, say Ohio
or Indiana," said Dr. Cosby. "But who
ever the convention in its wisdom sees fit
to nominate will receive loyal support and
we will expect to win with him. Benja
jamin Shively of Indiana would make a
first class man.
"But any one, so long as he is a good
"Senator Hill, for instance?"
"Yes, Senator Hill. I know these are
Mr. Croker's sentiments. The platform.
as adopted by the convention, will be our
piatrorm. '
So far as the free silver issue was con
cerned. Dr. Cosbv said the platform had
not been discussed and he did not know
Mr. Croker's opinion on that matter.
Elliott Danforth, of New York, was one
oi tne early callers touay at tne apart
ments of former Governor Hill. He did
not see Mr. Hill as the latter had already
left for Lincoln.
"In the ordinary acceptation of the
term," said Mr. Danforth, "I am not a
candidate for the vice presidency or for
any other office. Our delegation is not
here yet at least all of the members are
not, and as no conference has been held
by the delegates, no course of action has
been mapped out. I should be proud to
be a candidate for vice president on tne
ticket with Mr. Bryan, but I am not seek
ing the nomination and shall not, believ
ing that the convention will do that which
Is wisest and best.
"As to the Platform." replied Mr. Dan
forth, in response to inquiries, "the posi
tion of the New York Democracy was
very well denned in our state piatrorm.
Our people bv the attitude of their repre
sentatives in that convention are not in
favor of having the platform adopted by
the Kansas City convention, emphasize a
declaration that the money question is
the issue this time of paramount import
ance. Personally I gave cheerful and cor
dial support to tne canaiaates ana plat
form of li9t and I will give the same earn
est siiorwirt to the candidates and Plat
form of MOO. To my mind, new issues of
vital importance not alone to tne Demo
cratic party, but also to the people of the
L'nited States without reference to party
affiliation have arisen. These issues will
be pressed to the front in the approaching
campaign, not so much, perhaps, because
they are set out in political platforms, as
because they are the issues in which the
people themselves are most deeply inter
ested." The advance guard of the "Wisconsin
delegation headed by Mayor Rose, of Mil
waukee, and J. M. Clancy, of Madison,
who holds National Committeeman Wall's
proxy, arrived today. Mayor Rose was
non-committal on the question of the vice
presidential nomination.
"I am not in a position to say what ac
tion the Wisconsin delegation will take,"
said he. "I have had very little communi
cation with the members of the delegation
and until we get together and talk over
the s.tuation it would be useless for me
to say whom we will support for the
nomination. The full delegation will not
be here until tonight, probably."
"How about Hill?"
"Well, Mr. Hill hag friends wherever
you will find Democrats," he replied.
Committeeman Clancy, however, was
very pronounced in his advocacy of the
nomination of Hill.
"We want a man who can carry New
York against Roosevelt," said he. "Hill
can do that. He will bring more votes
to the ticket than any man we can put
up and I believe he will be nominated.
There is a very strong sentiment in his
favor among the members of the Wiscon
sin delegation with whom I have talked
and I believe there will be a regular
Roosevelt boom developed for Hill before
the convention is called to or
der." Among the Wisconsin delegates
the nomination of Charles A. Towne was
not regarded with favor. "We want a
Democrat, not a Populist." said National
Committeeman Clancy. "Towne is an im
possibility. Don't you think so?" he asked,
turning to Mayor Rose.
The latter nodded assent.
A specitlc free silver plank In the plat
form did not find supporters in the dele
gation, most of those who cared to say
anything at all favoring the simple reaf
firmation of the Chicago platform.
The Pennsylvania delegation, 100 strong,
undnr the leadership of Colonel James M.
Guffey, reached here today. One of the
delegates-at-large is ex-Governor Robert
E. Pattison, who has been spoken of as
a possible vice presidential candidate. The
delegation, however, favors D. B. Hill and
unless the situation changes greatly, the
64 votes of Pennsylvania will go to the
New Yorker. As outlined by Colonel Guf
fev, the delegation also favors a bimetal
lism plank in the platform without refer
ence to a specific ratio. The utmost har
mony prevails throughout the entire dele
gation. The Kansas delegation arrived in force
and took up quarters at the Baltimore
hotel. Judge Johnson, delegate-at-large,
from Peabody. Kan., said soon after the
delegation had arrived:
"We have not really organized as yet
and we are hardly in a position to make
any declaration of principles. We are. of
course, for the reaffirmation of the Chi
cago platform and desire the insertion of
a plank in the platform calling for 16 to
1. We have as yet made no formal can
vass of the delegation, but I know that
it is the way in which the Kansas men
will stand on the silver proposition.
"As to the vice presidency, we have no
particular choice as yet, and as we feel
at the present time, we will without doubt
follow the lead of the state of New York
and support any man whom it may decide
upon. We fell rather friendly to all of
the vice presidential candidates, and real
lv have no particular favorite. The vice
presidency is largely a matter of exped
iency at the best, and we will be disposed
to go for the man who can throw the
most strength to the ticket-"
The Illinois delegation will not arrive
in force until Tuesday, but several of the
members are on the ground, including
National Committeeman Gahan. In dis
cussing the stand to be taken by the dele
gation on the silver proposition, Mr.
Gahan said today:
"What Illinois adopted in its platform is
known all over the United States and we
have seen no reason to change our posi
tion. We said at our state convention
that we were in favor of the reaffirma
tion of the Chicago platform in spirit and
letter and we made no mention of figures
in discussing the silver plank of our plat
form. We stand in just that position to
day and the chances are that we will stay
there until the end."
Regarding the vice presidential matter,
Mr. Gahan said that his state had not
yet taken any stand. It is known, how
ever, that Illinois is in favor of the nom
ination of Carter H. Harrison and believe
that he can secure the second place on the
ticket, Lf placed in nomination. Mr. Ga
han and Mr. W. H. Henrichsen. of Illinois,
today held a long distance telephone con
versation with Mr. Harrison, who is at his
home in Chicago, and asked him for the
authority to present his name to the con
vention. Mr. Harrison refused flatly.
Outside of the candidacy of Mr. Harrison
the Illinois delegation feels friendly to
Shively of Indiana
Members of the Arizona delegation, who
arrived today, were pronouncedly in favor
of the nomination for vice president of
Chas. A. Towne. Should his nomination
not be possible, then Congressman Sulzer
of New York is favored. As to the plat
form, an explicit declaration in favor of
free silver is favored, although a simple
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform
would be satisfactory to the Arizona men.
The delegates are strongly against the
nomination of Hill.
"His action in the convention of four
years ago put him in disfavor throughout
the whole west." said Judge J. M. Mur
phy. "We favor the nomination of Mr.
Towne. If he can not be nominated, then
we believe the nomination should go to
New York. Congressman Sulzer is much
liked.
The contesting delegates from Montana
representing the Marcus Daly faction of
the party in that state arrived today, the
party including Governor Smith, former
Senator Martin Maginnis and ex-Congressman
Hartman. Until the Montana
contest is settled by the national commit
tee, no formal plan of action will be map
ped out by the delegation, either in re
gard to the platform or the vice presiden
tial -nomination. Towne is, however, a
warm favorite for the nomination, with
Congressman P. H. Sulzer, of New York,
for second choice.
"Personally I favor Mr. Towne,". said
Governor Smith, "and I believe many of
the Montana delegates do. We intend to
fight for a positive declaration in favor of
the free coinage of silver as a plank in
the platform, and Congressman Towne
certainly represents our ideas in regard
to this. But, of course, we will not set
tle on any concerted plan of action until
our contest is settled."
Hill, as a vice presidential possibility, is
not regarded with favor by the Montana
delegation.
BOOMS AND BOOMERS.
Vice Presidential Nomination is For
Anybody That Can Get It
Kansas City, Mo., July 2. The Demo
cratic vice presidential' nomination Is
still for anybody that Is anybody who
can reach It. Here Is a list to choose
from: William Sulzer, David B. Hill,
Elliot Danforth, J. G. A. Parker of New
York, Benj. F. Shively Of Indiana, Chas.
A. Towne of Minnesota, Carter H. Har
rison of Illinois, Benton McMillin of
Tennessee, Jas. Hamilton Lewis of
Washington, Robert A. Pattison of
Pennsylvania, Arthur P. Gorman of
Maryland, D. J. Campau f Michigan,
David S. Rose of Wisconsin, David
Ovcrmyer of Kansas, Wm. J. Stone of
Missouri, George Fred Williams of
Massachusetts. There may be some oth
ers but these are "mentioned." Some
are avowed candidates and others are
not, and some do not even expect to De
presented to the convention.
The active candidates are Sulzer and
Towne. Others expect a complimen
tary vote, but both of these gentlemen
want the nomination and their friends
are working for them with much earn
estness. Friends of Shively are also
pressing him, but the Indiana man is
discouraging them. Shively has his ey&
on a seat in the senate, which is more
attractive to him than a nomination for
the vice presidency. He does not care
to offend his Indiana friends by be
ing churlish regarding the vice presi
dency, but he is doing what he can
to discourage the talk about himself.
The friends of Towne say Shively is not
and will not be a candidate. Another
man who is strongly mentioned is Car
ter Harrison of Chicago. Illinois men
say he prevented the state convention
from naming him for governor, or in
structing for him for vice president. It
is expected he will come here and make
it plain that he does not wish to be a
candidate.
Among the incipient booms launched
today were those of ex-Senator Gorman
and Governor McMillin. Henry D. Clay
ton, member of the national committee
from Alabama, talked about Gorman
as an available candidate, while Buck
Hinrichsen of Illinois wae sponsor for
McMillin. Mr. Clayton said the south
would take very kindly to Mr. Gorman
and although he was not a silver man
there was no doubt about his earnest
support of the party. Hinrichsen said
McMillin had a record of twenty years
in congress which could not be touched
and that he was a vote-getter in other
states besides Tennessee.
Quite an interesting and unknown
quantity is the suggestion about Hill.
He seems to have considerable strength
in different parts of the country and
several delegations intend to vote for
him. When Mr. Hill arrived here today
and was taking his breakfast in the
Coates House, a man experienced in
conventions said:
"Hill is going to be nominated for vice
president."
The remark was repeated to him.
"How long has he been here?" asked
the ex-senator.
"Arrived this morning," was the an
swer. "He will know better after he has
been here a little longer," replied Hill.
That was all he had to say about his
vice presidential prospects or possibil
ities. The departure of Hill for Lincoln
caused any amount of speculation and
some disquiet. "Croker don't like it a
little bit," said a man wearing a Tam
many badge. Others insisted that Hill
had not been invited at all, while there
was another lot who jumped to the con
clusion that Hill had gone to Lincoln
to arrange with Bryan for his own nom
ination as vice president. Those who
know the ex-senator can misgive the
grim satisfaction he Is having over the
speculation, not to say consternation,
he has caused by his trip to the Demo
cratic mecca.
Every time Hill is mentioned seriously
some one recalls the position he took
on the tariff bill and his position in pol
itics since that time.
"Towne is the logical candidate," re
marked Senator Pettigrew, "and that is
why he is going to be nominated. Ne
braska is going to second his nomina
tion and support him," he continued,
"and that ought to be sufficient indica
tion as to the way Bryan feels toward
him."
Minnesota and South Dakota are in
structed for Towne and delegates from
other states are for him. George Fred
Williams is working quietly to secure
support for him In New England. "We
ought to have a man for vice president
who will carry out Mr. Bryan's views,"
said Mr. Williams, "should anything
happen to Mr. Bryan after he is
elected."
In looking over the field Mr. Williams
thought Mr. Towne came nearer the
ideal candidate than any man yet men
tioned, although he was not ready to
say that Massachusetts would vote for
him.
The fact that so many names have
been suggested, and that so many del
egates are casting about for a candi
date, indicates the nebulous state of the
vice Dresidential situation. It may clear
up and some one be agreed upon before
the convention meets, but the present
indications are that the contest will be
determined by ballot in the convention.
HILL CALLED BY BRYAN.
New York's Ex-Governor Receives a
Summons From Lincoln.
Kansas City, Mo.. July 2. Former
Governor David B. Hill, of New York,
accompanied by his private secretary,
P. J. Manwiller, and General J. S- Mc
Ewan, of Albany, arrived here early
Sunday from St. Louis, having left Al
bany on Friday. Within two hours af
ter his arrival. Governor Hill departed
for Lincoln, Neb., to hold a conference
with Mr. Bryan.
As Governor Hill was leaving the
breakfast room at the Coates House
shortly after his arrival, he was handed
a telegram from Mr. Bryan requesting
him to come to Lincoln at his earliest,
convenience. Despite the fact that he
was much fatigued from his long trip
from New York the governor felt that
UlllSSllJI (HEALTHFUL
V FOOD J
Baiting T
rOWuSr
he must obey the summons from Mr.
Bryan and in a few minutes was on his
way to the railwav station.
While declining to be interviewed on
the political situation. Governor Hill
said, as ha left the hotel:
"I am much fatigued after my long
trip and of my own accord, would not
feel disposed to do more traveling at
this time: but a summons irom Mr.
Bryan, in the circumstances is a call to
duty, and I am going to Lincoln by the
nrst train that will take me there."
The telegram calling the governor to
Lincoln conveyed no intimation as to
Mr. Bryan's object in summoning the
distinguished New Yorker. Mr. Hill
himself disclaimed any knowledge of the
purpose in Mr. Bryan s mind when he
sent the telegram and added that, even
if he knew the object of the visit, it
would be improper for him to discuss it.
Gen. McEwan, who is one of Governor
Hill's closest political friends, having
for many years been one of his right
hand men in the Empire state, did not
accompany the governor to Lincoln.
"I have no knowledge.!' said he, "of
the reasons which impelled Mr. Bryan
to call the governor to Lincoln. To me
the telegram from Mr. Bryan was not a
surprise as he desires, doubtless to be in
close touch with people from all parts
or tne country."
"Do you think Mr. Bryan desires to
discuss the platform with Governor
Hill?"
"Possibly," replied Gen. McEwan smil
ing. "It would be quite natural that
they should have some confidences to
exchange on the subject."
"It is resorted that Governor Hill has
a draft of some of the planks of the
Platform that will be satisfactory to the
New York and eastern delegations?"
was suggested.
"Oh, that is newspaper gossip," re
plied Gen. McEwan evasively. "The gov
ernor quite naturally has his ideas of
what ought to be the declarations of
the Kansas City convention; but he is
here as a representative of the New
York Democracy and will support both
the ticket and platform agreed upon af
ter such mature deliberation as the con
vention will give both."
"Is Governor Hill a candidate for the
vice presidency?" Gen. McEwan was
asked bluntiy.
"He is not," he replied with empha
sis. "You know of course, that I do not
speak for Senator Hill further than
that."
"Then he would accept the nomination
for vice president if it were tendered to
him?"
"That is a question which only Gover
nor Hill himself can answer," said Gen
McEwan cautiously. "He alone knows
what he does in a given set of circum
stances. He is not a candidate how
ever." DAVE HILL ATTRACTS. ,
Evidently One of the Most Popular of
Advance Guard.
Special to the State Journal.
Kansas City, July 2. -"He's a hot
number!" "That's the old boy, sure."
"Walks like a scrapper." "A regular
Noo Yawker." These are some of the
expressions hpard Sunday morning when
David B. Hill of New York, a vice
presidential possibility and an historic
democrat, walked modestly into the
dining room at the Baltimore for break
fast. It was the last call, but the ex
senator seated himself, back to the door
apparently blissfully unconscious of the
furore he had caused in the crowded
lobby.
Mr. Hill was the center of all eyes,
especially the colored population, doing
service in the dining room. The man
who served Mr. Hill beamed like a sun
set on church windows. Mr. Hill was
unaccompanied. Returning to his rooms,
the senator received an occasional visi
tor, but his personal friends manage
his campaign, to which he seems to
tally indifferent, and is wholly uncom
municative. OHIO FOR PARKER.
Wants Bimetallism Without a Declar
ation as to Ratio.
Kansas City, Mo, July 2. Ohio is for
bimetallism and against the insertion
in the platform of a plank calling for
the coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1. The larger part of the delegation
from the Buckeye state arrived today
and took up quarters at the Progress
club on Washington street. None of
the delegates expressing themselves in
favor of bimetallism were willing that
their names should be used In declaring
the attitude of their state, but they
were a unit in saying that Ohio did not
want the 16 to 1 plank inserted in the
platform. However, they will not make
a strong fight against it, and if the
specific declaration for the ratio of 16
to 1 is inserted, they will accept the re
sult with cheerfulness.
On the vice' presidency the Ohio peo
ple are in favor of the nomination of
Judge Parker of New York.
KENTUCKY FOR SHIVELY.
Delegates Largely Favor Indiana Man
For Second Place.
Kansas City, July 2. The Kentucky
delegation arrived today and took up
its quarters at the Coates House. Na
tional Committeeman' Ury Woodson
said:
"I do not know exactly how Kentucky
stands on the silver proposition. We
are all, of course, in favor of 16 to 1,
but whether all are in favor of a re
affirmation or a specific statement, I
could not say until the delegation has
met. Personally I am in favor of an
out and out declaration and I think the
majority of the delegates from Ken
tucky will be found of the same opinion.
I think that an evasion of the point
which in reality is what a reaffirmation
means, will do no good, and may do
considerable harm. We are what might
be termed a Shively delegation on the
vice presidency. We are not solid for
him, but at least half of the delegation
consider him the most available man.
The others are scattered, but we have
as yet held no conference and the atti
tude of our delegation may change
somewhat after we get together." The
Kentucky delegation will hold a caucus
tomorrow.
THE CROKER FACTION
Willing to Support Any New Yorker
the Convention Wants.
Kansas City, July 2. The New York
leaders, who are known as the Croker
faction, did not meet ex-Senator Hill
after their arrival in the city. Mr.
Croker. ex-Senator Murphy, and Judge
Van Wyck had conferences with Sena
tor Jones and other democratic lead
ers during the day, but little developed
regarding either the platform or the
vice presidential candidate.
"Will New York support Hill for vice
president?" Mr. Murphy was asked.
"Yes, if the convention wants him,
and he wfluld be a strong candidate,
too. He has strength through the state
and would poll a good vote. The organ
ization would give him hearty and loyal
support if he should be named. New
York is not presenting any candidate,
but will support any one the conven
tion wants."
During the day there was some talk
about the differences between Croker
and Hill. Some of the pronounced anti
Hill men in the New York contingent
are said to be urging Croker to turn
him down for everything, not even to
give him one of the minor committee
places. Van Wyck and Hill are both
anxious to represent New York on the
resolutions committee. Van Wyck has
already drafted a platform which he has
been showing to different delegates. In
case of a clash between these men it
is said that Groker could control the
delegate for Van Wyck, but the belief
is that in the interest of harmony he
will give Hill what he wants and that
the ex-senator will serve on the reso
lutions committee.
"If he does," asserted one New
Yorker, "you will see Hill chairman of
the committee." But that will depend
on the result of the conference at Lin
coln.
As to the candidacy of Mr. Sulzer, the
New Yorkers take the position they do
regarding every other New York man
who is mentioned for vice president.
"If the convention wants him," said
Senator Murphy, "New York will sup
port him."
The senator went on to speak in the
most kindly terms of Mr. Sulzer, saying
that he would be a good candidate.
THE MONETARY LEAGUE
To Hold a Two Days' Session Coin
' Harvey and Ez-Gov. St
John to Speak.
Kansas City, Mo., July 2. The United
States monetary league is to hold a two
days' meetihg here commencing at 10
o clock today. An invitation naa Deen
sent . Mr. Bryan to address the league,
but he replied that he could not do so,
as it was not his intention to visit Kan
sas City this week. It is given out offi
cially that the league will take no ac
tion, the session to be devoted entirely
to speechmaking.
Among others who are on the pro
gramme for addresses are: W. H. (Coin)
Harvey of Chicago, ex-Governor John
P. St. John of Kansas, J. R. Sovereign
of Arkansas and Congressman Sulzer
of New York. Tuesday the speakers will
be Thomas B. Barkworth of Michigan,
Chas. A. Towne of Minnesota, George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts, Gen
J. B. Weaver of Iowa. Alexander Del-
mar of New York and Flavius J. Van
Vorhees of Indiana.
The meeting will be called to order
by Chas. J. Thompson of Denver, tne
president of the league, and will then
be turned over to Judge John W. Henry,
president of the Kansas City branch.
It is possible that some one may offer
a resolution expressing the views of the
league for the guidance of the commit
tee on resolutions of the Democratic
convention.
TAMMANY NOT DRY.
Big Delegation Refreshment List Has
Gurgling Sound.
New York, July 2. The greater New
York delegates to the Democratic na
tional convention started for Kansas
City fiunday aboard three special trains.
Each of the specials was provided
with dining carsin which a meal can
be procured at almost any hour of the
day or night. Lest the liquid refresh
ments in the dining cars migt give out
during the, long trip Senators Piunkett
and Martin, who run the Tammany
trains, arranged for the stowing away
in the baggage car of a reserve stock,
and so long as the Ice holds out no one
bound for Kansas City will go thirsty.
Here is a list of some of the orders
filled by Piunkett and Martin for the
reserve stock: One dozen cases of
Scotch whisky of various brands, two
dozen cases of American rye, assorted;
three dozen cases assorted cocktails,
10,000 bottles of beer, .500 bottles of ale,
1.000 uuarts of campagne. 1,000 pints
of champagne, one dozen cases of Rhine
and Moselle wines, 4,000 bottles of club
soda, 1,000 siphons of seltzer, 500 boxes
cigars.
HARRIS IS WORRIED.
Kansas Senator Doesn't Like the
Hill Boom.
Kansas City, Mo., July 2. Senator W.
A. Harris of Kansas City came from
Washington to attend the convention,
first going home. The senator spends
the day in Kansas City, going home to
sleep.
Mr. Harri3 has no doubt as to the
outcome of the convention as to presi
dent but he is in some concern as to
vice president.
"The talk of Hill worries me," the
senator said. "If they want to lose
New York, nominate him. If they want
to add strength to the ticket nominate
Towne or the Indiana man. The thought
or Hill injures our prospects.
"Hill says he came to persuade and
not to fight. He has gone to Lincoln to
see Bryan. He wants to persuade Bryan
to abandon the silver issue, drop the in
come tax and cease the assaults on the
courts.
'All of these suggestions are foolish
ness, so far as our western people are
concerned and I am confident Bryan
will not be persuaded. I believe he will
have a 16 to 1 platform or refuse to be
a candidate. This in my judgment,
should be his attitude."
ROUGH RIDERS GATHER
First Day of the Reunion at
Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma Citv. Ok. TV. Jnlv 2 The first
day of the Rough Riders- reunion was
given over to greetings of the boys who
had not seen each other since last vear
at Las Vegas, N. M.
Indians have arrived all day, coming
on trains and in wagons. Early came the
Sac and Fox, Pawnee and Delaware
tribes and camped in different parks near
the city. C. Madsen arrived later with
twelve warriors and eight squaws of the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservations. The
leader is Starving Elk, who is accompa
nied by Chief Washee. These Indians
have brought all of their Sunday clothes
and paraphernalia for a scried of war
dances, which will be given during the
week. Mr. Madsen is a quaint character,
having figured in many of the wars, from
the Custer massacre to those of later
dates. He Is now a deputy United States
marshal, and the Indians have implicit
faith in him.
The churches held special services Sun
day and the pastorc talked of the wonder
ful patriotism of the American people.
Aside from this and the memorial services
the city was unusually gay. Shows were
open, and the "ballyho" man In front dis
coursed upon the wonders on the Inside
until the tents were full. There was no
rowdyism, but a general good time.
The arrival of the Kingfisher and Black
well bands created quite a stir. Both or

Kansas Democrats With Sun

Kansas City, Mo., July 2. Governor
Theodore Roosevelt of New Tork . was
given a remarkable reception in this
city today. The governor, on his way
from New York to attend the annual
reunion of the rough riders, which takes
place this week at Oklahoma City,
Okla., arrived here at about 9:30 a. m.
and for half an hour Democrats and Re
publicans alike united in giving him a
vociferous welcome and in shaking his
hand until he was glad to quit.
The Santa Ke overland train on which
Governor Roosevelt was traveling was
due at 8:30 a. m. At that time about
2,000 people had congregated in the
union depot sheds to get a glimpse of
New York's governor but by the time
the train pulled in fully 7,000 were
jammed along the platforms, sitting on
the roofs of the train sheds and clinging
to the iron girders. Shortly before Gov
ernor Roosevelt's train arrived a big
delegation of Kansas Democrats and a
few delegates from that state all carry
ing huge sunflowers arrived and they
also waited to see the Republican leader.
When finally the Santa Fe train slowly
backed into the shed and Governor
Roosevelt, smiling and spectacled was
seen on the platform a perfect roar of
cheers went up.
'Hello, Teddy," "'Rah for Roosevelt,"
"Teddy stop oflT and talk to the Demo
crats," yelled enthusiastic members of
the crowd. The governor laughed at the
last remark, but refused to talk poli
tics. The instant the train stopped a rush
was made for the platform to shake
Governor Roosevelt's hand and It took
the united efforts of a score of police
men stationed round the car to keep
the crowd from degenerating into a per
fect mob. For 20 minutes the governor
was kept busy shaking hands with en
thusiastic men and women who sue
ceeded in crowding up to the car plat
form. Several members of the rough
rider's regiment in khaki were among
those at the station, and to these the
governor gave an especially cordial
greeting. The crush during the strug
gle to shake Governor Roosevelt's hand
was terrible and several women fainted

iously hurt.
The train was boarded at Carrollton,
Mo., this morning by a delegation from
Kansas City, headed by Major William
Warner and a committee from Kansas
City, headed by Postmaster Nat Barnes,
who gave the governor formal welcome
to Missouri and Kansas and accompa
nied him to this city, just before the
train carrying Governor Roosevelt and
his party reached Kansas City today
the governor met and exchanged pleas
antries with Congressman John J. Lents
of Columbus, who was journeying to the
Kansas City convention on the same
train.
C. C. Pilbrick, chairman of the dele
gation, which is seeking to have the
democratic national headquarters . loca
ted in Columbus this year, escorted Mr.
Lentz into Governor Roosevelt's private
car, and made the two men acquainted.
The New York governor and the Ohio
congressman greeted each other very
cordially and, in the course of a, very
brief conversation, Governor Roosevelt
stated it as his opinion that it would
be imixilitic for the democratic con
vention to weaken on the silver ques
tion. "The people do not like a emitter."

Mr.. Lentz conceded that it woulu
weaken the party to take any backward
step on silver. Mr. Lentz was after
wards asked by the Associated Press
as to his opinion.- of the candidacy of
David B. Hill for president.
"I am not against Mi. Hill person
ally," he said, "but I believe in a con
sistent ticket, and any ticket that would
make a . controversy within our own
household would not be consistent.
Moreover, there are very few people
who are going to vote either way on
account of the tail of the tic ket."
