A correct appreciation of the action Of

Democrats who have been fighting
against the constitutional amendments
for years. regard with disgust the trick
of the Convention. which, while it pre-
tends to recognize the amendments, only
aliases the party by the fraud which
comes in part Of the conditions. The
leaders of that convention have very ugly
records. They wanted to get them out
of sight So it was resolved that the
"dead past" should be buried. That
"dead past being their own disgraceful
history as politicians. The masses of
the party will not agree that the leaders
after having for years assailed these
amendments, shall now sneak out of re-.
sponsibility for their opposition by issu-
ing funeral invitation to the rank and
file. That SORT of trickery wont do -
The old liners see through it. They re-
gard it as desertion of Democratic prin-
ciples for the sake of getting office. and
repu.iiate the leaders and their platform
as alike unworthy of support.

themselves closely to passing cloud
This frightful appartion moved slowly
toward Mason City, but finally changed
its course much to the relief of the pco-

an order, much like that of sulphur, was
inhaled by several persons. A gentle
man who stood about hundred yards

flashes of electricity were constantly
visible in the storm column, passing from
the earth to the clouds above, and that
rapid, popping. cracking reports were
heard, reminding him, most forcibly, of
an infantry regiment in battle. firing
their muske,s as fast as possible.
The pathway of the cyclone was near

to eighty feet in width and in that path
way not spear of grass, stalk of corn
or wheat, not shrub nor particle OF
vegetation was lef: alive. For some dis
tance the earth was literally plowed up
to depth of six inches. The column
of whirling air must hav been intensely
hot, as every green thing in its path was
dried to a crisp.
