farmers movement, and wanted PROBES
sional men left out, and farmers and laboring
men represented. He said, as he advanced
in good order down the main aisle, "tbat he
would not stay with party that had shown
themselves corrupt"
Mr.. KilgoTe here asked, won't you come
back and stay with The convention?"
Mr.. Shepler stated explicitly that he
would not.
Mr.. Pendleton thought that he (Shepler)
was not made of the stuff that the true
granger was composed of, and did not seem
enthusiastic about Mr.. S. remaining longer.
Mr.. Buchanan hoped they would not allow
anything to disturb the convention, but
would proceed at once to business. Mr..
Shepler continued along down the aisle,
hurting hot shot into the enemy's camp at
frequent intervals, and finally shook off the
dust of the convention from his feet. and
fed into the out door world, evidently dis
gusted with the summary manner in which
Mr.. Henderson had been disposed of.
Quiet was once more restored and other
gentlemen aired their views as follows:
Judge Kilgore, of Delaware, requested
that Mr.. Henderson be called to the stage,
that he might state on what platform he
stood. If he is in favor OF the independent
ticket and will work for it, let him say so
and if he is in favor of the democratic ticket
and will work for it, let him say so. /, for
one, say that if Mr.. Henderson will pledge
/
will support him.
A. Pendleton, of johnson, spoke next
He said that he had worked with Mr.. Hen
derson in the democratic party in times past,
and was personally friendly to him. The
ne party had a record to make, and il must
start right. The independents have started
/ out to break up the old parties, on account
of their corruption and worthlessness. 1t will
not do now to take up either democratic or
republican candid ttes. MIR. Henderson him
self had came to the speaker before the dem
ocratic convention and told him that he ex-
pected to get the nomination for the Office Of
/ auditor from that body.
Mr.. Ollemsn thought the propOs ition o
Mr.. Kilgore would meet with the approval
of every right minded. man. He was in ia
vor of Mr.. Henderson's coming forward anC
defining his position.

Mr.. Biddle had not sought either nomina
