appearance, and brought down the house at
several points in his address, He represented
his town with first rate ability.
He was followed by Jim Browning, and all
know what fine speech Browning can make
when he tries. Instead of uttering anything

1.-THE railroad plank adopted, is that a test OF
party fealty? Does it commit Democrats to the
support OF the amendment
''Well, yes and no. but rather think it does.
Under the circumstances the men who led in the
convention did the best they could and the rail-
road plank is not altogether objectionable. The
sub-treasury bill and government ownership Of
railroads had many avowed and vociferous advo-
Gates in the convention at San Antonio. The
convention swept them aside, gave utterance to
well defined Democratic views on these vital
principles and redeemed the party from all faint
