WHERE is THAT ARDOR?
THE CONVENTION OVER, BUT STILL
THE POLITICAL POT SINNERS.
Meeting Last Night of the Jacksonians
Tariff Reform Club After Big Game
Republican Primaries Today and
Convention Tomorrow.

Contrary TO expectations, the fire has
seemingly died out from under the polit-
ical pot.
There has not been boil, nor even a
respectable simmer, since the convention.
OF course the nominees are moving
around with agility, but more to rub ONT
ment on the sores Of their defeated oppo-
nents than to add fuel to the general flame
OF enthusiasm.
So far as heard, there Is universal salts
faction among Democrats over the ticket
placed in the field by Tuesdays conven.
ton, with one exception. There is some
disposition to mention the wisdom OF tho
Fifteenth Civil district stalwarts in leaving
Squire George r. Powell out in the cold in
favor of n. 4. Ingram. The latter is not
Of the kind that can stand assaults
from the common enemy, the Repub-
licans. In fact, it has not been hun
dred years since he was one Of
them, it is charged, along with other and
different sorts OF reports Against Squire
Powell, none OF these would prevail or could
be even raised. Even his enemies concede
his record, public and private, to DO up to
a high standard, while his Democracy has
never been questioned. The squire has
announced that he will run independent,
and has no doubt OF success. Since he did
not go before the district meeting, hi5'
course will hardly be criticised uniavora.
