CONVENTION OPENS.
General Hollingsworth spoke briefly
and eloquently. HO said that the cleo.
ton OF the Democrats was followed by
alarm and panic. Tho wool grower and
wage Garner have not been benefited
as the Democrats promised; on the cor.
trary they have brought wreck and
ruin. The only hope is the sturdy good
sense Of the Republican party. He said
that he believed that the minority in
Congress would be recognized.
The Republicans are not panic
stricken. They have faith in their lead.

Hogg in q splendid manner. He. gave
many reasons why Hogg should be
nominated,
When Belmont announced ~forty-si1
