THE sEDALIA CONVENTION.

The state democratic convention to
nominate delegates to tho national con.
v%entiOn at st. Louis, June ., took place
at Sedalia last Thursday. II was Il
large body, being composed of near
ly eight hundred delegates, and its
personnel has never been surpassed in
a deliberative assembly in Missouri.
Harmony and good humor prevailed
throughout, and the especial feature
of interest to our people was the iact
that the fifth congressional district
caucus brought about among the
leaders of the various factions an
agreement and harmony that resulted
in a genuine experience meeting anu
love feast. Confessions were freely
made, concessions were granted, and
faith was plighted that never, no never
should there again come up such divis
sions az have existed i'll the past. Hon.
Alex. Graves was there, Judge Philips
son was there, DIR. Mumtord was there,
Col. Mercer was there, e. l.. Martin
was there, Mi. Bowers was there,
Mr.. Tarsney was there, Mr.. Shewalier
was there, Hon. e.. l.. Ewing was
there-we cannot name them all-bnt
each and every one declared that i'll
ternecine democratic strife had come
to all end, and that from that moment
the democratic forces of the fifth con-
| gressional district should be united as
solidly against the enemy rs ever was
Macedonian phalanX or Napoieonlc
