every hamlet OF the east and north The peo- |
pie must learn their true relation to the tax |

presidents champion the tributes Of the people;
that no taskmasters write our tariff bills. They
must learn,to that for personal and political
advantage their country was menaced by the

that 1t seemed the voice of Goo. With q
unanimity that finds no parallel in the story OF
popular government, they determined that

museum of freaks. II we but permit it, they
will stand by their verdict.

forget that our political brother may be Just as
honest and perhaps better informed. Impelled

good, we will free ourselves from the chickering's

| OF the bread and butter brigade.
Mr.. Owen had respectful hearing,
| but there was no great enthusiasm over
his remarks until he came to the ''le-

Then the convention cheered again and
again. The chairman asked what the
pleasure of the convention was. Mr..
White, of California, offered resolu-
tion providing that the roll be called to
name members of the different commit
tees and that all resolutions relating to
the platform be referred to the COM
mittee on resolutions without debate,
and that the credentials OF each dele
gate be delivered by each delegation to
to the committee on credentials
Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, offered an
amendment that the rules of the last
democratic convention govern this body
until otherwise ordered.
Mr.. White accepted this amendment
and temporarily withdrew his resolu-
ton, which he again offered after Gen
Braggs substitute was passed. Mr.,
Rhodes, of Alabama, interposed with
an amendment which provided for a
committee on rules in addition to the
other committees. There was brief
discussion of the amendment, the ex-
planation being made that the original
resolution delegated the work of the
proposed committee to the committee
on permanent organization. The amend
ment was adopted, however, and the
resolution as amended went through
The clerk then read the roll call and ths
chairman of each delegation announced
the names chosen.
When the territories were called
"Pooh Bah" delegate from Alaska
who took most of the committeeship'
for himself, raised a laugh. The merri

was reached and every position wa
found to be assigned to some member
of the Jackson family. Oklahoma

onvention-received warm welcome
When Utah was called, John I. Caine
, representing the Mormon and f.

see, said there We're $4,000 democrats a
s the door and he moved that the door
a be opened to them. There was grea
: applause but the whole question wa
r. shut off ON a motion to refer the matte

D Mr.. Holman, of Oregon, addressed tn
e convention, closing by stating that h
d held in his hand a telegram giving til
r glad news that the republicans of Por

e sand majority. Mr.. Gable, of Illinoi
offered a resolution of sympathy
