washington special To the New York Herald.
Since the reception Of Blaines letter the
general conclusion Of leading Republicans
is that the situation is simplifed, that
Sherman, Allison, Harrison and Depew
will disappear early in the contest at Chi
cago, and that the final struggle will be be-
tween two tickets-Alger and Morton and
Gresham and Phelps. Some New York
politicians say, however, that the first
thing in the convention will be to elimi-
nate Mr.. Depew, and that II he refuses to
be eliminated there may be trouble OH
that account.

TIE APPEAES ENTERPRLSE.

THE APPEAL has outdone all its con-
tcmporaries in its report of the st. Louis
Convention. Comparison is invited. 1t
has gone to great expense to do this, but it
has done 1t by way of fulfilling its
promise that The ArPEAL during the
campaign would give the most complete
reports Of the political news Of the day.
Yesterday 1t enlarged its size to twelve
pages, and gave fifteen columns Of space to
the National Democratic Convention,
every line OF which was OF the greatest in
terest No Southern newspaper has
equaled this performance. Today
it does even better The report OF the
proceedings is verbatim, as II comes from
the official stenogaphers. TIE ApPEAL's
readers may therefore learn from its col
umns alone exactly what was done and how
il was done, II has exhausted the subject,
and, while we have said that no Southern
newspaper has acquitted itself so well, we
are sure that no paper in the country,
outside Of 81. Louis, has done better. All
we ask in return is the appreciation Of our
readers. The whole series OF issues dur
ing the Convention should be secured and
filed for future reference.

WOMEN AT THE POLLS.
Rain Did Not Keep Them at Home,
and They Were Full of Enthusiasm.
From the Denver Republican

From the Denver Republican,
The damp weather did not have the
effect of depression on the school cleo
tons that might have been expected.
Notwithstanding the fact that the streets
were literally rivers of mud and that
riding and walking were alike disagree
able, scores of people braved the dirty
crossings and the slippery sidewalks for
the purpose of making their way to the
various school houses where election of
school directors was being held. 1t was
remarkable to note that a great percent
age of these pedestrians were women
who turned out in large numbers to
avail themselves of the privilege of cast
ing the ballot for school directors.
These brave ladies exhibited q great
deal OF courage and enthusiasm.
1t was observed that they got about
quite as easily as the men, petticoats
and all. which easy style of locomotion
may have been perhaps the direct result
Of their intense enthusiasm.
The women who felt that they had
voice in educational affairs were imper-
vious to wind and weather. In some
cases they were accompanied by their
husbands, but oftener they were seen
alone in little groups. At the polls they
were received with great courtesy. They
showed themselves to be intelligent vo-
tiers and thorough ladies.
'How were you pleased with the ap-
pearance of the ladiesl" asked reporter
of Mr.. A. ID. Shepard, County Superin-
tendent of Schools.
The County Superintendent is not q
! Gemonstrative man, but he departed
from his usual rule when he answered
that question.
81 was well pleased he said delight.
edly. "They were extremely pleasant,
ladylike, intelligent, and, 1 might add,
even lovable. At our voting place in
West Denver there were seen many of
the representative ladies of the West
Side and South Broadway. 1t was an
intelligent body and one that did us
honor
: In East Denver the ladies turned out
with pronounced enthusiasm. They
added their mite to the defeat of Joe
Williams, which was overwhelming.
This done they felt that they had &C
complished great things and retired to
the sanctity of the home circle, the tea
table, and the baby, with that rare grace
known only to women.
! At the East Denver election great ex-
element prevailed. The people were
: reused to action because they were not
pleased with the idea of having Mr.. 10
seph Williams to rule over them in
school matters. They protested vigor-
ously, and Mr.. Williams's hopes were
very soon numbered with the dead.
Popular opinion went strongly against
him. 1t was obvious from the first that
he would be defeated.
1--WE don't want any political jobbery
here" one pretty woman was overheard
to say to another, while her little foot in
her common-sense shoe came down en-
phaticslly on the school-house floor.
! "That's what we DON'T" said the Pc
tite brunette, her companion, who was
adjusting her garments preparatory to
entering the sacred precinct, ''and
what's more we won't have it, either"
