St. Joseph, Mo., May 14.- Not nntil 4:30 Wedncsday morning did the Kepublican tote conveution adjourn after resolving In favor oí McKinloy, in favor of sound money and electing fonr delegates at large to the national convention. The convenMtm was in some respects the noisiest and ttost troublesome ever held in the state, tut at the closo Chauncey I. Filley of St. Iiouis still held the reins. The delegates atlargeare: Chauncey I. Filley of St. Louis, ex-Congressman F. G. Niedringhouse of St. Louis, Major William WaniOT of Kansas City, and J. H. Bothwcll of Sedalia. Alternates: Byrd Duncan of Butlrr county; Charles F. Gallenkanip of JTranklin; H. E. Williams of Greene; Charles P. Covington of Pike. Major Warner withdrew his name, bilt waa elected as the last man chosèn. The convention elected Chauncey I. Filley as chairinan of the state central committee, and passed a resolutoin favoring him as member of the national Republican conamittee to aucceed B. C. Kerens, who was turned down by the delegates. Kerens' Downfall Coinplete. Filley, in addition to being made chairinan of the state central committee, samed all fcbe members, and controls the niachinery in'every respect. The downfall of Kerens and his followers was complete. Kerens was voted for as national delégate at large, after Bittinger of St. Joseph hnd withdrawn in his favor, but was defeated. The only rift in the clouds was the election of Major Warner, who has been classed as a foüower of Kerens, but who, seconding the nomination of Filley, showed thíit he was being taken in by the 1xss. After the locklng out of the delegates by Kereus' followers Tuesday Filley is said to have resolved to leave no stone nnturned to secure their ultímate defeat in everything, and to that end will try to control the convention of tho Fourth conjgressional district, which meets in this c5ty.
