Filley was defeated for nation- al committeeman from Missouri this | afternoon and Richard C. Kerenr, the leader of the war upon the A. P. | A. within the Republican party, was | elected national committeeman after the most bitter fight that was ever waged against any man for a similar position. Webster Davis, after hear- ing of the result, told a Kansas City Times correspondent that he had no chance of being elected Governor of Missouri. The Filley men all say that Missouri will give a large~¥Dem ocratic majority this fall, and Web- ster Davis was candid enough to admit this, together with the other followers of the ex-boss. Filley tonight feels like Goliath after the stone from David's sling hit him. His followers, down-hearted and desperate, say that the Demo crats will not only carry Missouri, but that whoever is nominated at} Chicago will be elected. They damn the McKinley managers, who they think were largely responsible for the downfall of the oid man, in all the brogues their tongues are fawil- iar with. Briefly, here is what the Missouri delegation did today: The delega- tion met at noon at its headquarters in the Southern hotel. Major Wil- liam Warner was chosen chairman of the delegation. ‘The contestants for the place were Major Warner and C. I. Filley. Major Warner was elected on the second ballot—Warn- er 17, Filley 15. For secretary G. |Purdy of Pierce City received 17 | votes and F. Leonard of Bolivar 13 votes, four of the delegates refusing to vote. The Filleyites, seeing that they were out voted at every turn, made a motion to adjourn the meeting until 4 o’clock this afternoon. This was also defeated and the order of business was proceeded with. The delegation then proceeded to the election of committeemen, with the | following result: Committee on cre- dentials, J. L Bittinger of St. Jo- seph, 19; J. L. Minnis of Carroll county, 15. The whole number of votes in the delegation was 34 and Mr. Bittinger, having received a ma- jority of these, was declared elected.

I was beaten by fraudulent votes.” Then a little of the Filley of old returned and he said: ‘But it is not all over yet.” IF SILVER 1S IGNORED.

Milwaukee, June 15.—Senator ; Vilas, whv spent yesterday in this city, was asked by a Journal re- porter: ‘Did you see the report in a Chicago paper that you said you would vote for McKinley and that Mr. Cleveland would also? Is it so?’ “Yes, I suw the statement. There is not a word of truth init. I have never expressed such a purpose and I have never heard Mr Cleveland say a word which would give the least suspicion that he bad any. The story is fiction, pure and sim- ple; an election cauard, when every- thing goes.” “Will there be a bolt at Chicaga, _ think you?” “No; not unless the silyerites bolt. I don’t concede by any means that the Democratic party is to be turn- ed over to folly. When the delegates assemble at Chicago I hope sound counsels may prevail, and if they do the Democratic party will pursue its ancient path for honest, stable money ” Tickets will be on sale July 4th 5th and 6th to Chicago, Il, and re- turn until July 12th, on account the National Democratic Conventi at Chicago July 7th, 1806, at one fare for the round trip.
