the respect that's deliberatiVe body could
possibly give IT'S chairman. He made a
short speech upon taking the chaiE Ly-
man Naugle. editor of the Voice of Well
ington, was elected temporary secretary
/ by reclamation. Jones OK Butler" now
of kingman who was the nightengaie OF
! the occasion, sung few songs which We're
| received with the widest excitement and
| applause, after which motions We're made
/ for the appointment Of commit
tees On credentials, order Of bus
mess, permanent organization and
resolutions. And while the chair
an OF the convention was considering
the committees, Mrs. Lease. who was on
the stage was called upon and after some
| hesitation she responded and WAS received
with Tremendous cheers. She looked
very picturesque as she made her way 20
the front OF the platform, drew herself ~
to her full height and calmly looked over
the vast audience for fully half a minnie
without uttering word. She looked bet
ter than usual, her face was brighter and
more cheerful and blush sutfused her
cheeks that denoted improved health Il
have come all the way from the golden
shores of California to be present with You
today" said she, "and to help. you TO re-
nominate the Abraham Linccla of the
west. | have luxuriated in Is fine climate
OF California and enjoyed the per-
fumes OF its flowers, and l have
seen the noble hills and fertile valleys OF
Oregon and Washington, but have seen
no where IN my travels that to my mind
compares with the rolling prairies and
blue skies of Kansas. Yes, have come
back to be present at the convention and
to tell you that you will make do mistake
if you renominate jerry Great applause
followed the mention of Jerry's name, and
hundreds of voices called for him but he
was not present. Mrs. Lease VINO had left
the floor was recalled and she responded,
saying, that she was going to say some
thing which, perhaps, would make the
convention sorry that it recalled her, and
Immediately she threw a bomb
that caused q great deal OF sup
pressed excitement. She said, in speak
ing about the rights OF women that there
was candidate before the state conven-
ton for congressman at large who had said
in ST. Louis that he hoped to God the
women would let this movement alone.
She warned the good people of the Alliance
against such L man and boldly stated that
she WAS in the field against him and would
fight him to the death; and that if be
should be nominated the woman of Kan
sas would turn out against him and insure
his defeat at the polls, This bomb was
thrown at Judge Snyder of kingman, an
old time reformer, and 1t hit him so hard
that he has been from that moment prac-
tically out Of the race. It was
a terrible blow to the judge and it might
be said that il was the last nail driven in
the coffin OF his present political aspira-
lions. Dir. Snyder was called for and
made very satisfactory explanation of
the charges preferred against him by Mrs.
Lease. Explanations that would be re-
ceived as satisfactory many convention on
earth but an Alliance convention. Mrs.
Lease followed him to carry the war
farther against him and to drive the nail
in farther in the coffin OF his congression-
al ambition, but somebody moved an ad-
journment for dinner. Mrs. Lease thought
the adjournment was deliberately made to
cut her off from speaking and she sarcas
castlcally Informed the poor fellow that
she was sorry she hadn't a cookie to give
him. This brought down the house and
the poor unfortunate victim shrunk back
into his chair till he was out of sight
Somebody else suggested that
she was out of order, but an Old gentleman
with long whiskers came to her rescue and
stated that woman was always in order.
Having full possession of the floor she
commenced roasting Mr.. Snyder until he
was done up brown" as one of the ladies
on the stage expressed it, and then left
him to the tender mercy of today's con-
vention. The following committees were
hen appointed and the meeting adjourned
