It is quite true we have, after mature deliberation, de cided to inaugurate new movement.

Tlio Ohio Republican convention will meet at Columbus to-morrow afternoon for temporary organization, with Senator- leet J. It. l'oraUcras temporary chair man. He says his speech will be tho Ohio nomination of MeKinlev for I'residcnt, and that ho will not dis cuss issues. It is expected iliat tho teruuorury organization 'will bo made permanent on Wednesday, when deio- (rates and alternates at largo will be selec'ed for tlio St.

Louis convention and a State ticket nominated. It is conceded that Senator-elect Foralter, (overnor lliislinoll, lioiiorul Grosvenor and Murk llanua will be tho four delegates ut largo. bverythinjjr is not so serene for He; Kin lev as it appeal's, however. There has been a well organized fight in opposition in tho Columbus or Twelfth district, und it appears that the fac tion which is backed by Forakcr will send several delegates to tho national convention at St. Louis favoring Heed, thus breaking the solid delegate vote of the State for Melv'inley.

The beg-minnar of the tight in tho Columbus district dates back to tho trip of Chairman Kurtz to Cleveland to sec Murk Ilanna, tho McKiulcy manager, six weeks ago. Mr. Kurtz said ho would like to go to the national convention from the Columbus district, and that In a number of the districts the friends of Senator-elect Foraker would like to have a chance to make a fight for tlio place. Ho advised 1 hi una that it would not be tlio part of wisdom to put Foraker men on the blacklist and bar them from preferment at the hands of the party simply because they were the friends of Foraker. As to himself, being chairman of the State executive committee, the party was iu honor bound to elect him if he became a candidate, and he desired that such election be brought about by peaceable means if possible.

lie warned Ilanna that the Foraker men would send delegates to St. Louis that they were Republicans of good repute and would not sit idly by and seethe fiiends of Mclviuley arrange "slates" iu all the districts and crowd the l'oiuikcr men to the wall. Ilanna would not agree that the Foraker men should have an equal chance with the friends of McKinley to go to St. Louis. He udmitted that McKinley was taking no chances and there might, be an enemy introduced in camp if the bars were let down.

Chairman Kurtz camo home angry and at once put the machinery that he worked so successfully in the late campaign in shape for operations. Ho announced himself ns a candidate against Henry C. Taylor and E. N. Iluggins, the McKinley State candidates, and declared he would beat them both.

This he accomplished. This and Fairfield counties were orgauized as never before, and for two days before the primaries every school district, ward and precinct was visited. Thousands of circulars were sent broadcast over this city and county by tlio McKinley managers, that if Kurtz won, McKiiilev would be stabbed in the back; that he (Kurtz) was a traitor, etc. The vote cast was unprecedented mid the triumph of the Foraker wing is complete. Chairman Kurtz said Saturday night iu a quiet way; "The McKinley managers tried to turn me down simply because I desired to be a delegate to St.

Louis. lama Republican and have a right to aspire to the honor. They thought not. ISut the people overruled the McKinley managers and I am a winner. Senator-elect Foraker said he was tired taking the oath of allegiance to McKinley every morning before breakfast.

Thoro was another anti-American riot hero to day. About 12,000 people took part The excitement wus started by a group of young men at a street corner, who began cheering every soldier who passed. Their conduct was imitated by other groups until every soldier ou tho streets was cheered by the crowds, Some musicians who refused to repeat the national anthem were bcutcu and otherwise maltreated. The excitement gradually increased and riotous groups formed in the main streets, cheering for Spain and denouncing tho United Status. The authorities did everything possible to maintain order.

The entire police force was turned out and the rioters were dispersed again and again. The mob soon became so numerous that the police were almost helpless. Crowds armed themselves with sticks and cudgels, swept the police aside, inarched towards tho private homo of the United States consul shouting "Long live Spaiu," "Down with tho Yankees." On the way to tho consul's home they hurled stones through tho windows of stores and private homes, overturned a number of vehicles, pulled several mounted policemen from their horses aud generally behaved in a threatening manner.

This caused the police to charge in a bo'dv, and, using their swords with good effect, the rioters were dispersed, yelling and hooting at the authorities and shouting "Down with tho Yankees'' and "Long live Spain." The United States consulate is guarded by a strong detachment of gendarmes, armed with carbines, re volvers and swords and they have instructions to lire upon a mob if necessary. MAY ELECT BLACKBURN.

Senator Weissinger had been ill for several days with a bad cold, which changed into pneu monia. Senator Weissinger had played a more important part in the senatorial contest than any other member of the general assembly. To him was duo the arrangement ot a pair with Sena tor Stege, the Republican member from Louisville, which prevented the Republicans from having a majority on joint ballot on the tlealli ot Mr Wilson a few weeks ago. Rut for this Dr. Hunter would now be United States senator.

Weis singer constituted the backbone of the Democratic opposition to Sen utor JJlackburn. Uut for him the election of Hunter, or Blackburn, would have occurred weeks ago, Neither the Republicans nor the Dem' ocrats will deny this. The controlling influence he exercised over the contest was emphasized Saturday, when, but for his release of Senator Chambers, Republican, from a pair that tho latter might vole lor Carlisle, lilacltburn no doubt would have carried the day.

Fully JiOO visiting Republicans are in Wichita to-day taking part in or witnessing the Seventh district convention or conversing over the work to be done by the state convention, which will be held to-morrow, Not only delegates and friends of candidates for places tho St, Louis convention are here, but tho state ollieers, except Governor Morrill and candidates for judgeships and ollieers of the legislature. The congressional convention organized with C. H. Elliott of Sumner county as temporary chairman. After the appointment of the usual committees the convention adjourned until 2 o'clock.

Although the Republican Stato convention will not be called to order until 11 o'clock Tuesday forenoon, fully three-fourthsof the 01 1 delegates are already on the ground. The big fight of the Stato convention will be over the candidacy of John C. Carpenter of the Third district for He is the only candidate in his district, but, owing to an untortunate fljrht made in his behalf by 11. F. Hatch on some of the Republ icans of the district, he has not tho united support of all the delegates from that part of the State.

Ihero Is some prospect of a contest over the resolutions. The conservative politicians favor a resolution declaring McKinley to be the choice of the convention, but there are delegates on hand who say they will not be satisfied with anything short of iron-clad, instructions for tho Kansas delegation to vote and work for. McKiulcy so long as he may be in the race. Ihe chairman of the state conven tion probably will be ex-Chief Justice Albert II. Ilorton, who heads the Shawnee county delegation.

The nitroglycerine and dynamite were carefully wrapped in men's socks and handkerchiefs to keep them from exploding while in transit, tho intention evidently being to scatter destruction at this end of the line.

The car was loaded and sealed at Kansas City, the seal not being broken until it reached the yards here. The railroads notified the police, to whom it turned over the explosives, but the police are afraid of the explosives and do not know how to dispose of them. As the consignment was mixed, it is difficult to say who is the guilty Kansas City party. REPUBLICAN DELEGATES. Twelve Slates and the District of Columbia Select 135 to Date.
