cutting out the work for the convention
to-day.
The body will sit with closed doors, and
the only Information which the public
will receive will come through a press
committee appointed by the Chair for the
purpose.
The convention will close tomorrow.
Major Mann Page told me yesterday that
many Of the delegates Will be surprised
when they get here and find that they
can't get money through the banks, and
that II would doubtless work hardships
on some OF them.
For this reagon and because many Of
the delegates are farmers he will make
the convention as short as possible. so
that they will not be detained from home
during a very busy season. The presi-
dents message which Will be read to-
day will be shorter than usual. The ex-
ecutive committee met last evening at the
office OF Secretary Silvey and attended
to routine matters. The officers of the
convention are.
