was occupied The deleA .srre early
risers and they had bees gyrating
around for couple OF hours before
the dapper dry goods clerks exhibited
their opening morning smiles 10 the
lady measurers OF laces and notions.
Long before the opening hour OF the
convention they began the march to
the park. They were all business,
aud seemed imbued with proper
sense Of the Importance OF their meet
ing, Many of them patronized the
street cars. and many did not. They
walked and saved a nickel, They came
pouring from the side streets where
their hotels and boarding. houses We're

ed Enough has been learned to ven
ture the statement that the Populists
as n rule are provided with excellent
appetites. The Populists Of McLonnan
were present In force, coming In their
buggies and wagons. But few dele
gates INDUCED In speculation on the
proceedings of the convention or the
action to be taken. They are all of
one mind in sentiment, and they as
sumo that everything will be all right.
The leaders they have coincidence in.
and they showed plainly how implicitly
they trusted the chieftains.
This sentiment is illustrative OF the
control OF the big ones. Such Dem
ccratic or Republican practice as
schemlng or log-rolling In the inter
est OF this candidate or that measure
is something the delegate has not YET

DEMOCRArIC COUNTY CONVENTION


To-day was the date set for the hold
ing Of the Democratic county conven-
ton. It was sure thing that it would
not be held IN advance OF the Republi-
can convention. Like their brethren
elsewhere, the Democrats Of this county
never originate anything They would
no more dare to go into a campaign
without having first learned what the
Republicans had done and how they
had done it,than they would bet nickel
this year on their success. So they
waited until to-day and at 10 o'clock a
few melancholy "dems" wended their
way to the Firemans Hall, the Court
House being too large for the limited at
tendance that was expected. At 1920
Chairman Merrill called about score of
the faithful to order and Secretary But
Ter read the call. Next. George W.
Myers and F. ii. Benjamin were made
temporary chairman and secretary re-
spectively. and being invested with the
questionable honors, committee on
credentials WAS appointed consisting Of
W. ID. Hill. +. McAuliffe. X. /. Stuart,
Joseph T. Brown and r. G. Weare. A
committee on permanent organization
and order OF business Was next named
consisting Of G. l.. Merrill. Irving Boe-
worth. j. b. Montague. c. r. Smith. f.
A. O'Neai, Patrick Schill and George
Landre. Still another committee wae
named to prepare wheresses and resoiu-
tions. articles in which the democracy
are long" according to Col. Malone. but
Joe Brown. c. L. Merrill and Ed. Butler
the collaberators seemed to be somewhat
short" az an adjournment WAS taken
until 7:U p. m. to allow them to incu
bate.
