readers OF the republican party U
Missouri in the city was the chic
feature of local interest yesterday anc
little was thought of or heard about
the streets except politics and that o.
a rampant kind. The main interest
however, seemed to center on the
prohibition plank or rather the sub
= mission plank which, Mr.. Vest says
is preliminary thereto, which it was
generally conceded would be inserted
in the republican platform and had
the doughty senator been around he
would no doubt have felt somewhat
shaky as to the wisdom Of the
policy which he so boldly and fiippant-
ly promulgated in St. Louis at the
democratic convention as the cam
paign cry of the democracy. For not
only the republicans but hundreds OF
democrats pronounced it as their DELHI
crate opinion that the Down with
submission" speech Of the silver
teunged orator had cost the democracy
fully ten thousand votes in the COM
mon wealth of Missouri and it is in
the hope of adding these ten thousand
votes to Its roll that the republicans
are advocating the submission plank
as was proven by the funny,
feature Of 6 Tumber Of
The tueton delegation from St. Louis,
full to the brim with beer shouting
themselves hoarse over the beauties of
the submission idea. Another poin;
Of deep interest was the presence of
Boss Filley with blood in his eye and
surrounded by his mighty minions in
battle array ready for q fierce fight
for voice in the convention. They
labored under great Disadvantages
however, not only as to numerical
strength but from the fact that they
we're looked upon as the anti-submis
sion plank faction and it become evil
dent early in the day that their doom
was sealed and that they would be
uncerimoniously sat down upon very
hard.
MORNING SESSION.
Long before IL o'clock in and
around the hotel Kaiser was throngs
of people, and when the doors of the
opera house were opered the crowd
rushed in and the building was soon
filled. The arrangements for the diff
ferent delegates were abont the same
as two years ago, the smaller num-
bered districts to the left Of the stage
and the larger numbers on the right.
The numerous newspaper men were
stationed at three tables in q row at
the chairman's right hand and the
secretaries on the left.
The convention was called to order
by DIR. j. d. Crawford, of Warsaw,
at precisely $50. He called upon
Rev. B. F. Boiler to open the con-
vention with prayer. Rev. Boiler
made short eloquent prayer suitable |
to the occasion and then DIR. Craw.
ford presented Hon. ]. P. Upton as
temporary chairman.
Mr.. Upton on taking the chair
said
Gentlemen of the convention, it
is indeed an honor that you have con-
ferred upon me in calling me to pre-
side over this grand and representa-
tive body of republicans of the grand |
est state in all the galaxy Of the con-
stelation of states. and a component |
part of 65, 200, 900 Of people who
govern themselves and among whom
dwells or presides no prince, poten-
tate or car. The question of self
government is no longer an expert
ment, but the grandest success and
most powerful and potent fact and re-
atty that has ever been achieved
In the annals of the history Of civil
zation.
Fellow citizens, we are here to-day
assembled as convention of the
republican party to reassert Its SUI
premacy and these grand facts. Let
