ministration in unqualified terms, and it was
adopted by a unanimous vote with every demon

The work OF the convention is generally APP
proved throughout. OF course there are some
who disappointed and who swear that never,

amendment, but thoy will get over that. Their
election of Webb Finley as chairman of the
state executive committee is a magnificent in
dorsement Of his course in conducting party
affairs for The past two years. 1t silences all
complaints.
Many OF the delegates left to-day and nearly
all the balance will go tomorrow.

missing sheep. As he approached the bed of
