We never saw a gnat's skin, but We
heard a preacher say at a church that
there were people In the world who were
80 close ,stingy and p%enurious, that their
souls were so small that you could put .
thousand of them in the 'skin Of Q gnst"
and it would rattle for more.

The State League Convention.

The State Convention of Republic
can League clubs held at Kansas City
was q large gathering Of representa-
tive republicans from every part of
the state. The roll showed nearly
LOO delegates, and many of the
ablest men in the party were present.
The convention was composed of a
fine looking body Of men and the
earnestness which prevailed and en-
thusiasm which was manifested gave
evidence Of the fact that the repub-
lican party is determined to redeem
Missouri.
The convention was held for the
purpose Of electing officers of the
league, revising the constitution of
the organization and to elect two
delegates at large and two from each
congressional district to the National
League Convention to be held ut
Nashville, Tenn. The vote stood /:
Reynolds, 562; Botsford 44S. The
other offices were filled by the re-elec-
ton of the old incumbents, as fol-
lows: Vice-Presidents - James A.
Mann of Kansas City John B. Jaynes
of Sedalia and c. H. Tandy of st.
Louis Secretary-L. M. Hall of St.
Louis Treasurer-J. NJ. Thompson,
St. Louis.
Two members of the executive
committee we're chosen from each
congressional district.
For delegates-at-large to the ma
tional convention, Col. A. c. Dawes
Of st. Joseph, and T. H. Phillips of
Moberly were elected, with Judge c..
G. Burton of Nevada, and A. Nelson
of Lebanon, as alternates.
Sedalia was selected as the next
place of meeting, after a spirited
contest.
Several changes were made in the
constitution, the principal ones being
as follows: Hereafter the represen-
tation in conventions shall be one
delegate for each 100 members, in
stead of so as now ; no person shall
hold a proxy from any club unless
he is q member of that club the con.
vention will meet hereafter once
every two years instead of annually.
One of the big features of the con-
vcntion was the speech made just
after the opening by Hon. John M.
Thurston of Nebraska, president of
the national league. He is a forci-
BILE speaker, and his address, which
was pointed, eloquent and intensely
republican aroused great enthusiasm.
In closing his speech he spoke of
Mai. Warner in connection with the
governorship and this set the conven-
ton wild, Cheer followed cheer and
when the speaker sat down there were
loud cries for Warner. The Major
responded in a short speech that was
full of good points.
On the first day the following res
olution, introduced by Judge Burton
of Nevada, was adopted by a rising
vote: "Resolved, That in the death
of Ebert E. Kimball the State Of
Missouri has lost an exemplary citi-
zen the Union, one, who, in his
youth, was a gallant defender of it's
integrity and its flag in his manhood
an able, earnest supporter Of all
things that tended to its greatness
and glory. A chosen and cherished
leader of the republican party, we
have sustained an irreparable loss in
his untimely decease. Tears to his
memory-peace to his ashes. He has
left us the grand heritage of his
name. May his example inspire us
with renewed love and devotion Ia
the principles of our party and the
accomplishment of its aims"
