THE STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
AT 11:30 Mr.. Ed Carroll, chairman of the
| state central committee, reached the stage
and was given a clever hand. He an
nounced it a pleasure to call the conven-
ton TO order; would not open up with a
speech, but presented the Rev. Abbott, of
Wichita, who offered a prayer Alex.
Butts observed seriously that it was a
new departure to open Democratic con-
vention with prayer.
The call of the convention was read by
Mr. Henry SCHNEIDER, of Leavenworth,
secretary of the central committee
Mr.. Carroll said if the convention was
wise it would succeed in naming the sue
cessful ticket. He presented the Hon.
John c. Sheridan, of Paola, temporary
chairman, also announcing as temporary
secretaries, w. A. Eaton, Henry SCHNEIDER,
and +. l.. Vandegrift
Mr.. Sheridan thanked the convention
for the honor and said it was a compli-
ment to the Mama Democracy. His county
Democracy had never followed false
gods but always stood up for the straight
goods. About this time some looked
around and wondered if he had Click Rob
insOn on the brain. He proceeded to give
a history Of Democracy going back thirty
years. He thought it dandy party and
very honest class of fellows individually
and collectively. He had Wall street and
everything obnoxious almost New York
City belonging to the Republicans. His
party was "A wonderfully pure concern and
the prospects were never brighter. This
opened up the yell from the fine, high
pitched voices. He assured all the Repub-
licans would soon be hoping for another
Christ and no hell" This was a dandy
expression and highly relished The Dem
ocrats would attend to the silver question;
would not centralize government power;
insure the highest personal liberty.
He assured the convention that
no third party would bring about
the right thing; it would not
be brought about except by democratic
votes straight" The only safety or sue
cess found in free and unlimited use of
the Democratic ticket. He did not like
Speaker Reeds business program and was
fairly cheered.
Mr.. j. VI. Orr, of Atchison, moved that
a committee of permanent organization,
resolutions and credentials, consisting of
one from each judicial district, be APP
pointed and a committee of five on order
business,
Tom Fenlon, of Leavenworth, amended
to do away with the credential committee
to save time, there being no contest. Mo
ton prevailed as amended.
There was no inter-regnum, but imme-
diately typewriter list of committees

cies appearing were attended to by John
A. Martin. The committees were as fol
