GUSHING OUT OF SIGHT.


Cushing was out of order in that body. They
tore him to pieces and sat upon him, and pro-
ceeded according to their own sweet will with
out regard to order, precedent or rules. There
are over 500 delegates and they had individual
opinions and expressed them with exasperating
Indifference to the courtesy due their presiding
officer.
Somebody struck with a brilliant thought
moved 70 lay the matter aside for future consid-
GRAFTON, but Mrs. Logan, with grim determina-
ton In every line of her face fire in her eyes
and fight in every line Of her body, announced
that patience on q monument couldn't pu: in
any more time smiling at grief than she could
display in awaiting the decision Of that body.
In other words. she was there to stay until they
accepted or rejected the courtesy extended, and
doomsday would find her right there unless they
released her sooner with their decision.
1t was n condition that confronted the con-
vention, and it doomed up big mountain
with no tunnel through. Theory was out of
practice. Action was absolutely necessary
SINCE Mrs. Logan had put stop to all proceed
ings until the convention came out of the woods
and faced the music of the guns
THE STRUGGLE RENEWED.
They wrestled with motions and counter mo-
tons until nearly o'clock when, faint with
hunger, they adjourned for lunch, which was
served in the church parlors. The inner woman
refreshed they returned to the struggle. At
$50 O'Clock byh vote of the convention against
Sc dissenting voices it decided to ACCEPT
the inequalities of the citizens committee
hence Mrs. Logan came off the field victor,
with oil the trophies OF war and not so much
as n thread of her beautiful silver hair dis
turbed.
The national convention of the w. r. c. was
then officially ordered to convene in the New
York Avenue Church today at $50 O'Clock
The convention commended the efforts of
pnfn .lnr
proper quarters and passed resolution to re-
fund to the department all the funds disbursed
for the purpose.
NEW PASSWORD.
The national password was also changed. and
both delegates and visitors who cared to brave
the terrors of another sitting were obliged to
get the new password from their corps or de-
FGrtmen. presidents. Consequently many we're
again declared from entering the convention
doors. This was declared to be necessary to
guard against the possible admission to the
convention hall of some member of Potomac
Corps, the largest and most active w. r. C..
organization in this CITY.
we feel encouraged by the action of the
convention" one of Potomac Corps ladies re-
marked this morning, land are inclined to be-
leye that this convention will at least do us
justice and grant us hearing"
CONVENTION NOTES.
When the convention got into an inextricable
tangle yesterday and an appeal was taken from
the decision OF the president. Mrs. Margaret II.
Wickens of Kansas, senior vice president, took
up the gavel and brought order from chaos
Mrs. Wickens has remarkable talent for quiet
ing turbulent elements.
Four of the guards of the national conven-
ton are young colored ladies. All the guards
are attired in white and wear red, white and
blue ribbons.
''lsn't it funny" said G.. A. r. veteran yes
terday, that woman invariably bows when
she gives the salute? What would be thought
of the commander if when acknowledging
salute he gave Chesterfield bow ut the same
time?''
The past national officers when ''stood up in a
row" present a remarkably fine appearance.
There isn't small-minded-o small-bodied
either, for that matter-woman among them
