DEMOCRATS CONVENE.

greSSiOnal convention which meets in
this city Tuesday. In the morning it
looked as though E. St. Julian Cox
would be the choice of the convent ion,
but John Graham, of Good Thunder,
showed up with a letter which he
received yesterday from w. S. Ham
mond, in which the latter stated that
he would accept nomination for Con-
gress if rendered him. This natural
ly changed the completion of affairs,
and the talk seemed to be mostly for
Hammond this afternoon, although
COX'S friends were at work.
Delay was caused by the leaders
in preparing slate, in the municipal
court room.
Prominent amsng those on the floor
was John Diamond, who has dropped
back into the Democratic party from
the Alliance. He seemed to feel at
home among his former associates.

sembling, but when it got together on
the third floor of city hall, the official
call was read by Charles O'Conner, of
the county committee.
