The District Democracy.

CONFERENCE OF CLUB DELEGATES-A PROPOSITIONS
FOR FORMATION OF NEW CENTRAL COMMITTEES
ADOPTED.
The conference committee, consisting of dele
gates from various democratic clubs, to con-
slider the question OF the representation of such
clubs in the democratic central committee met
at Association Hall last night. Mr.. j. B. Wilson
presiding and Mr.. G. I. Rowe secretary pro tem
There were present delegates from the 18th dis
1riet, 10th district, Young Mems Hancock and
Washington and East Washington CLUBS Mr..
III. Thompson offered resolution that as the
cluos have seen fit TO send delegates to obtain
recognition In the central organization tnat the
action OF this conference Is the action of the
clubs through the delegates and they pledge
themselves TO abide by the action OF this con-
ference, and urge upon the clubs the necessity
OF united and harmonious action in whatever
step may be deemed expedient by this confer
ence In obtaining It's end. The resolution was
adopted. Mr. Thompson moved that a commit
tee OF three be appointed on resolutlons;
carried, and Messrs. Fl: c. Clagett. G.. L.
Scott and W. w. Kirby were appointed.
M Gsge "a, after reR1td from the
IfouS democratic organizations believing that
they are entitled to recognition as workers in
the democratic cause, have made polite and
respectful demand for representation upon
The now existing central committee OF this Dis
ti1ct: and whereas, said body has not only re-
fused said demand, but has ignored the clubs
except when desiring their assistance IN nut
ters in which their help was essential; aud
whereas, In the opinion OF The clubs in confer
ence 1t Is necessary for the better preSerVati IA
and more united action of such cluhS that they
should be bonded together through the means
OF some central equalization; therefore resolved
that each club be requested to elect one dele
gate to meet and form a central committee and
that each club be requested to delegate to its
representative power 10 represent its Interests.
and such committee shall have full control over
the actions OF the organizations, independent
and separate, from any other committee in eA-
fstenCe." Mr. John Wittekendt moved TO amend
by making the number three from each club.
aud MIR. Clagett, for the committee, accepted
the amendment. Mr.. MaginniS took the
ground that this was beyond the power of the
conference. especially at this time, for they
were elected to ask a representation on the cen
tral committee. and having failed, they should
do nothing further until their respective clubs
were heard from. MIR. Clagett said that the
success OF the ratification meeting was due TO
the clubs, who paid the expenses. and that tue
clubs proposed to have another display in Oc-
tober, when they could show that even II I'M
worthy OF recognition by the central commit
tee, they could make display. and the twenty
two members OF the star chamber committee
could parade Pennsylvania avenue when they
were 90 disposed with as many brass bands as
they wanted The resolutions were adopted.

"Julfet-1n fact it was nothing but Juliet

while She was in life was there always a
steady demand for the pictures?n
" 1t was somewhat spasnlodic. but there was
always mere or less demand for them. We
never felt 1t TO be risk TO carry stock OF the
pictures. We were entirely out of her pictures
until just now, when we received quantity

While on this subject 1t might be stated tn 1t
the pictures OF Mary Anderson, next to Nell
sons, sell the best, the calls being principally
from members OF the male sex. The sales or
the pictures are even Steader THAI those OF
Nelson We're; that Is, scarcely a day passes
without more or less OF tie formers portraits
being sold While in The other case there were
generally lunS at particular periods or on par
tfcular occasions. Whatever character Miss
Nelson assumed while here was the rage for
the time being The sales OF Nelson's pictures
however, were greater than those Of any OF her
actress, living or dead. Maud BranScombe's
pictures sell next to Mary Anderson. She is
especially popular among artists, many OF
whom buy the pictures to make studies OF her
particular type OF beauty. She is quite rage
with young girls who are just learning 10
sketch and draw. The demand for the pictures
or actors Is lot SO great. John Mccullough
probably sells the best in the City with Booth
following closely. Joe Emmett Is also popular
and his character portraits go well.

In Denver, however, we have a multitude Of
