ment prevailed. After the announcement
of the fifth ballot motion to adjourn until
nine o'clock tomorrow morning was offered,

but was carried by vote of l35 against 100.
Convention adjourned.
Among the important features of the
platform which it is believed will be
adopted are the demanding of restrictions
upon national banks, and denouncing the
attempt to procure decisions from the
Supreme Court adverse to the new consti-
tuition, and determinedly opposing mixed
schools, believing that the coeducatlng OF
the whites and blacks would be detrimental
to both races.

is understood to be the financial plank.
