meet Immediately to begin work, and
the conference adjourned until p. m.
tomorrow.
CINCINNATI, May 2O.--The national
union conference delegates were slow
about assembling this morning, as there
was some misunderstanding as TO the
time when they were to meet. Pre-
vious to the calling of the convention
to order, meeting of the citizens Al
lance delegates was held IN
one of the halls of the
building and some of those who were
not members were initiated. AS on the
opening day the proceedings were open
ed by prayer The convention is com
posed largely OF church memb bcrs, and
a deeply religious feeling pervades the
gathering.
1t was ten o'clock when temporary
Chairman Cunningham raped for or
der. While waiting for the report of
the committee on credentials, Cap. G. A..
Power was allowed to make financial
statement regarding the expenses of
the conference. He said that he had
received outside of the local contribu-
tions, 1860, and had expended 1866. Mr..
Wilkin, of Kansas, asked the convention
to contribute and settle up all outstand-
ing bills, and that Capt. Power be re-
warded for his services This motion
was seconded by the Indiana delegation
and unanimously carried. The hat was
passed around and considerable
amount raised, Ohio alone contributing
$40.
While the collection was being taken
Illinois, one of the warehouses; in the
greenback movement, and very anus
ing speaker, was call to the front and
he made characteristic speech in
which he urged all to contribute liber-
ally, and offered his own hat for that
purpose. 1t was filled with bills and
silver in very few minutes He de-
clared that the money question is the
great issue. The country was going to
be born again.
He likened those who opposed the third
party to a lot of chickens in a nest.
Some of them were just out of the shell,
but would not leave the nest. Others
Just had their heads out. This was the
condition of those who did not want
the third party. He warned those who
tried to oppose this movement that il
would be like buffalo which tried to
stop a herd and that the people would
run over them. 1t couldn't be stopped,
and the people would have a new party
right away.
The committee on credentials made
it's report to the conference. 1t was
shown that besides the delegates to the
conference regularly elected, there
were representatives of 1O7 reform pa.
pers present, and it was recommended
that they be allowed seats in the con.
vention.
The delegations to the conference by
states, as reported to the conference,

This made total of 1,417 delegates,
representing thirty-three states and
three territories. The report was re-
ceived with cheers and adopted without
debate.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation made the following report:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW DELE
GATES OF THE NATIONAL UNION Con-
FERENCE-Your committee beg leave to
report the following names of officers
of the permanent organizations:
For Chairman, Hon. w. A. PETER, of
Kansas.
For Vice Presidents, Hon. G.. Della
mater, of Ohio; Gen. j. b. Weaver of
Iowa; Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, of Min
nesota; Hon. John II. Powers, of Ne
braska; Hon. Hugh Cavanaugh, of Ohio;
Hon, r. NJ. Humphrey, of Texas.
For chief secretary, W. S. Morgan of
Arkansas.
For assistant secretary-S. f. Hinton,
of Illinois; Charles Culmore, w. II.
Rabb, w. c. Crum, New York; Edwin
Thornton, Mrs Fannie Mccormick,
Mrs. G.. Curtis of Colorado; Helen NJ.
Cougar, Indiana.
Helen M. Cougar took the stage and
repudiated the use of her name as one
of the secretaries of the convention.
She said while she was in deep sympa-
thy with the farmers and working men,
she would not serve on account of the
president of a local committee being an
officer of the saloon-keepers' associa-
ton.
At the conclusion of this diversion in
the work of the conference Senator
PETER, permanent chairman of the con-
vention was called to preside. He was
received with loud cheers, and made a
short address.
Just as Senator PETER finished, Mr..
Vincent, Of Kansas, stepped to the
front with a basket or flowers in his
of Michigan, to present them to the
presiding officer.
The report of the committee on rules
and order of business was next consid-
cred, and It was on this that the first
slxirmish between the radicals and con-
servatives took place
Mr. Harden. of South Dakota, raised
breeze by offering an amendment to
the report of the committee providing
that each delegation, or rather, each
state, have one vote and one additional
vote for every fifty votes additional in
the conference. Mr., Harden supported
his motion in a strong speech. He
urged that IL was unfair for Kansas and
Ohio to control the convention, and
that states which had come Il long dis
tance should be heard. Mr.. Green, of
Massachusetts supported the report of
the committee
1t was evideat that the motion of
! Harden was a scheme of the anti-third
party men to ;, cure vote by state rep
resentation instead OF by the great body
of delegates The third party men saw
through the plan and the amendment
of the South Dakota man was voted
down by large yote and the original
! report adopted as it was read. At noon
the convention took recess until =
o'clock.
When the conference assembled at 3
p. m. n small movement credited to
the opponents of the new party was
started to make change in the rules
and order of business. In order TO
clinch matters motion to reconsider
the report of that committee was made,
and Immediately followed by another
TO lay the motion on the table. II was
agreed to by an overwhelming vote,
thus finally disposing of the matter

Managing u Grizzly.

1t is queer what wonders usage will
work. Out at Medicine Hat, ON the
Canadian Pacific railroad, the station
agent has charge of an enormous grizzly
bcar-nn animal that all well-informed
sportsmen regard as the most vicious,
fearless and dangerous wild animal on
earth. The station agent may appreci-
ate this fact or he may not, but at all
events he has got the grizzly to take
care of, and in year the only harm it
has done was when it tore little girls
leg most frightfully. The agent says
that grizzlies are easy to handle if yor
have the right tool by you. The thing
you want is Il baseball bat. When they
get fractions you hit 'em whack on
the skull with II bat and you can do any
thing you please with them."-N. Y.
