take counsel with the leaders and keep
away from political heresies.
The meeting was great success and
brought together great crowd from all
parts Of the state.
Senator Thomas J. Jarvis was the last
| speaker and his friends claim he is making
the effort of his life. Several hundred
! ladies occupied seats in the gallery. Mr.
| Jarvis made strong plea for democracy,
| taking up in detail each issue before the
| people, especially of national lines. He
is powerful debator, and the populists
and republicans present are wincing and
willing under the mighty blows that he is
dealing.
The3 enthusiasm of this hour, under
the force and eloquence of Jarvis, is in
tense, and the masses from which he
sprung are cheering TO the echo, while
| his compatriots on the stage are intent on
his every GESTURE.
Ransom and Jarvis are rival candidates
for the United States Senate, and their
great speeches to-day, Ransom this morn
| ing and Jarvis tonight, have aroused thier
| respective friends and caused interesting
| comments. The convention passed res
olution indorsing fully the Nicaraguan
canal project.
