The Wichita Daily Eagle

The press of the state are now quoting the declaration of ex-Governor Robinson that he will not accept the Democratic nomination for governor, and seem to accept it as a finality as far as the ex-governor is concerned. They appear to have forgotten that he firmly resolved not to accept the nomination from the People's party convention, but was persuaded to reconsider the matter, and there is no sort of doubt that he would accept the nomination from the Democrats if he was satisfied he could get it. But he evidently understands the purpose of the Democracy not to make a nomination, but do as the Pratt congressional convention did, i. e., pretend to disagree, make no nomination and break up in a row with the understanding that the People's ticket is to be supported.
