St. Joseph, Mo., May 13, 11a. m. —The republican state convention did not complete the election of delegates-at-large to the St. Louis convention until 4 o'clock this morn- ing Filley had it all his own way. The delegates elected are: Chauncey I. Filley, of St. Louis. William Warner, of Kansas City. F. G. Neidringhaus, of St. Louis. J. H. Bothwell, of Sedalia. Richard Kerens was left clear on the outside of the breastworks, and Mr. Filley is again supreme boss of the republicans of Missouri. BORS FILLEY STILL RULES. St. Joseph, Mo., May 13.—The republican state convention was slow in opening’ owing to the fight be- tween the bosses. Major John L. Bittinger, chair- man of the executive committees, had the keys of the hall. In order to keep the Filley ‘“rooters” out this committee issued 1,000 tickets to the “silke” and offered the state commit- tee enly 100 tickets. This offer was indigmantly refused, and the state committee authorized the sergeant. at-arms to see that the hall was net opened until the committee ordered. The committee met at the Pacific house, and the erowd cellected around Crawford's Opera housw and clamored for admission. The entire day-police force was ealled out to preserve order, and for a time it looked like a riot. A few anti-Filley men were admit- ted to the hall to be ready te repel atorming parties, and all the doors ofthe Opera house were barred. The men on the streets grumbled, eweated and swore. A number of Filley men frem St. Louis made an attack on the other door of the opera house with hammers, and breke the Goorin. The party on the inside shoved them out, however, anda riot call was turned in which brought a patrol wagon full of police and caused retreat of the Filley forces. At last an agreement was reached by which 500 tickets were given to the state committee, and 12 o'clock was fixed as the time for ealling the convention to order. The crowd wae not seated before 1:05 o'clock when Chairman Filley called the convention to order, amidst tremendous applause. The Filley “rooters” shouted lustily and waved their sugar loaf hats vigorous- ly. Mr. Filley then made a short speech and was applauded to the echo. Mr. Filley then introduced Richard Bartholdt as temporary chairman, He made a short speech counseling harmony. applauded. Mr. Bartholdt is a me- dium sized man. His decisions are made quickly, and in the interest of Mr. Filley who placed him in charge of the convention. C. M. Shartel of Vernon was made credentials committeeman for the fifteen listrict Preceedings of the conventions were delayed by the tardiness of a report from this com- mittee, which did not come in until 10:45 last night. Mr. Filley bad ten votes the committee. on There were three contesting delegati that from Clay Pike ec and the city of St. Louis, with 105 delegates. The majority committee report favored the seating of the 108 Filley men from St. Lo the Filley deleg and tion from Pike s on was made ina spirit of fairness—to show that Mr. Filley did not want everything.

THE PLATRORM. the following adopted: The republican party of the state of Missouri, in convention assembled congratulate the people upon the rapid growth of republican senti ment throughout the country, and especially in the state of Missouri during the last three years. Itisa source of great pride that our party is recognized as the champion and defender of the true interests of the American people. After three years of financial wreck and business fail- ure the people again turn to the re- publican party as the only political organization that can guide the na- tion to the highest commercial standing among the nations ef the earth. We ateadfastly adhere to the American doctrine of protection. It is mew recognized as the ene domin- ant masterful principle that will bring prosperity to the country. Under a democratic tariff our indus- tries are languishing. Labor is forced to idleness. Capital is with- eut a field for investment and our home market has been largely de- stroyed. We demand such duties on all imported commodities, the like of which are producad by our own people, as will give American labor and American capital the ad- vantage in our own markets over foreign products of like kind. Such duties shall be sufficient to cover the difference between American wages in foreign countries, and excepting luxuries, all imported commodities, report which was fully produced in this country shall be on the free list We demand a return to the sound republican policy of protection and reciprocity. reciprocity as advocated by Blaine, enforced by Harrison's administra- tic, our export trade was vastly increased and new and large markets were opened for our farm preducts.

Broaaugh’s Candidacy, Clinton Demoerat. | The mention of the name of W. ic Bronaugh ia connection with the | Demccratic nomination for Railroad Comuissioner has met with most flattering recognition by the Democ racy ard Democratic press of Mis souri. His nomination would do honor to the party and would be welcomed with enthusiastic approbation, as a worthy tribute to anoble gentleman, a gallant Missourian, and a Demo- crat of unswerving loyalty to his party and its underlying basic prin- ciples. Mr. Bronaugh was anative of that portion of Virginia now included in West Virginia, and came to Henry county when butachild. Hore he has been reared and always made his home. At the outbreak of the war his sympathies wero with the South and he espoused her cause with chivalrous courage. He served in the armies of the Conferacy from 1861 to 1865, in the Sixteenth Mis- souri Infantry, Parsou’s division and Price's corps, participating in the battles of Drywoed, Lexington, Lone Jack, Prairie Grove, Helena, Pleas- ant Hill, Saline river and many oth- er engagements whose records are written on Missouri goil; and at the close of the strife, he accepted the results and returned to Henry coun- ty and engaged in farming, paying especial attention to stook raising. | This has been his vocation ever since | and the Bronaugh farm near Clinton | is known all over Seuthwest Missou ri as a mode! of its kind. When the project of building a home for ex Confederates was pre- sented, Mr. Bronaugh threw his whole soul into the noble work and gave of his time and money unstint- ediy to ite furtherance. He has con- tinuously been the Vice President for the Sixth district, and under his energetic endeavors it may be noted that in 1895 when the plan of a ays. tematic raising of funds by private subscription was first tried the Sixth district led all the State, except pos sibly St. Louis, in the total amount of money contributed. A record of raising over $10,000 for the support and comfort of these helpless yeter- ans is of itself a noble and lasting monument to the energy and chival- rous spirit of big-hearted “Wall” | Bronaugh. Although not an office-seeker or office holder, Mr. Bronaugh has kept | in close touch with political matters | and is favorably known not only by the party leaders but by the rank | and file all over the State. He be | lieves in the restoration of silver to} its former honorable place as a mon-| ey metal. His Democracy is of the Jeffersonian type that accepts the | Voice of the majority as final and/ knows no minority when onee the | majority has spoken. His nomina-| tion would add much to the strength | of the State ticket. He possesses in | a rare degree the happy faculty of | making and retaining warm friends, | and no man possesses in a higher | degrea those noble attributes which | make aman beloyed and honored! by his fellow men. ) by putting his foot in it. Like an- other promising person who made a conspicuous failure in public life, it may be said of Webster Davis that, “When he talks he taiks and when! he thinks he thinks, but he was never able by any mauner of means to both think and talk at the same time.’——1 Fighting Bob. Washington, D. C., May 13.— Fighting Bob Evans of the United States navy, does not approve of the Cukan policy of the administration. If he had his way he would drive the Spanish out of Cuba entirely and annex the island to the United States. He gave the president some pewerful arguments to sustain that view of the case, but the president referred “Fighting Bob’ to Secre- tary Olney. He called upon the secretary of state. Capt. Evans expressed his views with great freedom to the secretary of state. Hesaid. “Mr. Becretary, the battleship In- diana, which I have the honor to command, isthe fastest fighting ma chine afloat and if you will give the word I will go down to Cuba and with her alone will undertake to eleau out the entire Spanish fleet.” The secretary of state smiled but said nothing. “See here, Mr. Secretary,” contin- ued the captain earnestly, “wouldn't you Jike to have a cruise down around Cuba and bring home a box of fine Havana cigars?” “I don't smoke,’ was the secre- tery’s curt reply. Capt. Evans bowed obediently to the decision and said good bye, but he couldn't conceal his disappoint- ment. A card on the outside of the office | door says: “Gone to lunch.
