ST. Louis, Junde 25.-lSpecial. The
democratic state convention reassembled
slowly at the Standard theatre this morn
ing, but the time before the commence
ment was fully occupied by the delegates in
caucusing over the general situation. Ii
was not so much caucus concerning dele
gates at large as ii was manifestation OF
interest in the gubernatorisl race.

vived at once the impression that he would
enter the race for governor or at the very
least, give instructions 10 his lieutenants 10
start the boom and the opposition to Gene
raj Msrmaduke hailed the coming Of
Phelps as that OF a conquerer. The ex-
governor himself has said nothing, nor b as
he given any intim alton of his desires or
purposes, but his very presence at this time
arouses the old enthusiasm, which,

up the platform, the delegates rose to their
feet shouting, yelling, throwing up their
hats and giving "three cheers for John S.

distant shores of California, of being pres

these delegates in their demand for consti.
tutional liberty. Population and fraud have
swept over the country and it is time the
people rose in their majesty and
denounced and condemned the party in
power. Applause The people have de-
manded a reduction of taxation, but instead
of complying with the peoples interests
the republican party gave only a reduction

demand that in all their thievery and cor.
ruption no guilty man should escape, but
somehow or other a loophole was left |
