Louis, and Mary B. Willard, Of Chicago, were

a third party movement, though in full sympathy
with prohibition, were to be excluded His delega-
ton wanted to know before submitting their Gre
dentialS. II barred out they would go to work on
their own behalf. The chairman said those would
be barred out who had not abandoned af1iliation
with the democratic, republican, greenbacker and
every other party; that had not declared in favor
or the legal prohibition OF the liquor traffic. The
committee on credentials was then named. Mrs.
j. A. Brown and Rev. Arthur Edwards delivered

When is the Defense 60 Begini

4.
The conduct OF the defense is undoubtedly In very
able hands, and it does not become any outside
observer to find fault with the management OF the
case. There are nearly ten lawyers to each de-
PENDANT. and whatever money can do TO hire emil
nent legal talent has been done. Nevertheless,
those who have followed the star route trials with
any degree OF interest must needs ask when the
defense Is to begin. We have had much special
pleading, plentiful abuse OF plaintiffs attorney
great deal OF buster. And now comes McSweeny
with his gibes and jokes and stale witticsms,
once wont TO set the circus in a roar. But no de-
Tense comes yet. There are the damning facts
and figures. There are the millions OF wasted or
stolen money and the fraudulently swollen mall
contracts. There are the officials who Inflated
the service and the contractors who profited by
the imitation. Nobody offers an explanation OF
this guilty piece OF work.

A Dull Day i'm Wall Street

NEW YORK, August 23.-The Posts financial ar
tcle says: 1t is many weeks since the stock ex-
change markets have been so dull as to-day. In
the stock market the only activity has been In
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, which has
declined from 1445s to 1421S, In Omaha, which has
ranged between 5414 and 537s, and Denver between
613s and g. The last two stocks have been COM
paratively steady while D., L. and W. has been
weak, and the general list, for the most
part heavy, with Wabash notably weak in the
last hour, the price having fallen to IS from
36H on small sales The net result of
AL the fluctuations ena Is that prices are
yesterday. United States bonds are unchanged in
price State bonds are neglected. Railroad bonds
money market the quotation for call loans
on stocks Is 4a5 per cent on United States
bonds 3a315 per cent. Time loans are about per
cent, which is also the ruling rate OF discount at
which prime mercantile paper sells. The market
for foreign exchange is extremely dull.
