When the convention adjourned for
lunch yesterday noon all OF the dele
gates left the hall with the satisfaction
Of knowing they were about to enjoy
good hearty meal. Sweet white.winged
Peace, who has not plucked up courage
enough to enter the temple during the
convention, left the doorway of the hall,
too. Probably Peace was feeling blue
under the gills and hied herself to aide
entrance to take several bracers to help
her hold her place at the afternoon $685.

brace to them. evidently, for By the
time Chairman Wardsll raped Tor order,
Peace had not put in an appearance. nor
did she come anywhere near the place.
1t was we'll she didn't, for she would
have been torn limb from limb by the
fiery orators Of the ring and the anti
ringers.

the leadership of Editor Clark, suc-
ceeded in running Mr.. Pepper in as a
member of the committee and then
electing him as chairman. 1t had been
agreed the day before that the officers OF

mem bera of the committee. So when
the opposition stole a march by getting
MIR. Pepper in, big and mighty roar
went up, but after a hard tight Mr..
Fisk, Mr.. Schnable and their crowd, the
Socialist wing, were defeated. Some
lively speeches were made throughout
the meeting and the sergeant-at'armH
was practically powerless.

in which he resigned from the central
committee, and the name of Mr.. Pepper
was recommended instead.
Editor Clark then moved that Mr..

This stirred up hornets nest.
Mr.. Fisk arose and. coming down to
front of the hall, proceeded to denounce
this purpose. He declared that it had
been decided that the chairman of that

not an outsider When they found he
was not member OF the committee they
had attempted to get him in this way.

monium reigned. Finally the chair de-.
cided that Mr.. Clark might speak on a
question of personal privilege. Editor

made that jobbery had been going on in
the convention, and be had been accused
OF being the principal jobber. [Cries OF
"You are !" "You aren']
Mr.. CLARK, after the noise had SUBJ

declared that one of the persona who
had spoken against Mr.. Pepper had
been out soliciting votes.
Mr.. Fisk here arose and said that as
he was the gentleman referred to Mr..
CLARK might as we'll speak his name.
Mr.. Clark replied that he did not care
to have his remarks personal.
Then the convention broke loose again
and motions and countermotions were
made sd lib.
Mr.. Fisk asked Mr.. Clark if it was not
true that he and others had put 1t up
between them to elect Mr.. Pepper as
chairman of the committee. He was
told that Mr.. Clark had ALWAYS favored
Mr.. Pepper and had endeavored to have
him elected. Mr.. Fisk next declared
that Clark had acknowledged there ad

once and declared that he had not and
that it was Infamous to bring any such
