upon the pending contest between
Campbell and Bushnell for governor.

THE GRAND LODGE.
Sons of st. George Holding a
Splendid Convention in
Canton.
GRAND LODGE REPORTS.

An Amendment Suggested to Take
in the Irish, Scotch and WEIGH
Work Accomplished Last Year
Notes and Comments on the Order.
At yesterday afternoons meeting of the
Sons of st. George the reports of the grand
president and secretary and the other executive
officers were read and referred to the proper
committees. The grand secretarys report
showed that the benevolent work of the order
in the past year has largely exceeded that Of
any previous year; that 81, 900 were received
and expended for the beneficial work. that
several new lodges have been instituted and
that others are now in course of organization
The state funeral fund which was adopted
two years ago was shown to be marked sue
cess. Outside of Cleveland almost all the
lodges of the state belong to this fund, although
the membership is entirely voluntary. 1t
pays 5000 death benefits for member and 500
for members wife.
Upon the recommendation of the grand
secretary, the grand president was empowered
to visit, or to deputize one Of the grand lodge
officers to visit, all of the subordinate lodges
of the state at the expense of the grand lodge.
This is expected to create more enthusiasm and
to result in increased membership.
Various amendments to the supreme con-
stitution were discussed and acted upon. One
Of these amendments looks forward to the
widening of the scope of the order. At pres
ent only Englishmen and their descendants
are eligable to membership. This amend
ment if adopted will permit Scotch and
Welch and any one born on the island ofGreat
Britain to become member. 1t is
not known whether this will ultimately be-
come law.
The evening session was devoted entirely to
the consideration of amendments.
Today they are picnicing at the lake.
Thayer's band is there furnishing music. A
large delegation came in from Cleveland this
morning to take part in the picnic.

Senator Brice then became personal and
referred to his course in the senate, in re-
and to oppose free coinage of silver at

and his position on the financial ques-
tion. He said he was here to recommend

plause.) This sentiment seemed to suit
everybody.

The call was then made for committee
reports. Hon. Byron Ritchie reported in
accordance with the facts stated before.
When the report regarding Cuyahoga was
read there was loud kissing. When
Ritchie finished reading. a minority re-
port as to Cuyahoga was presented against
the majority report. The report was. not
made properly, and was temporarily side
tracked The minority report as to the
Clark county contest was next presented.
This report also became side-tracked Inn
mediately, and the Cuyahoga matter was
taken up. Hon. John II. Clark, of
Youngstown, on behalf Of the eighteenth

eloquent speech, in which he said that
while he did not love sound money less,
he loved justice more, asked the conven-
tion to undo the majority report of the

Senator Brioe made an admirable pre-
siding officer He was as fair and impair
tial as it was possible to be. In fact, he
seemed to be in oonciliatory mood, and
made not single ruling against the free
silver people. He was also very clean
cut in his stating of motions; he used the
form of expression in vogue In the U. s,

importance of the question.
The Vote Taken.
In this vote Columbiana cast eleven
votes for the minority report, Mahoning
twelve and Stark fifteen. The district
vote for the minority was solid with the
exception of one from Mahoning and five
from Stark. The result of the ballot was
367 for the minority and $3.50 for the ma
jority report. This seated the anti-Brice
delegation, and the free silver part of the
convention went wild. The Clark county
contest now came up. 1t was the same
question of adopting the minority or
majority report. The vote was ga u to
446% in favor Of the majority report.
Stark's vote was ~ for the minority
and 50 against. This was Knockout

to the financial plank. His report was in fa-
vor of the free coinage of both gold and silver
