But the People Are Yet to Be Satisfied.

day. Full delegations were present from all
districts and the convention program was
carried out with neatness and despatch and
seemingly with no political jars whatever.
Everyone within -emarked ''what Il har-
monious convention" and at the close of the
days work Delegate Reuben L. lamar, of the
Third district, moved that the convention be
thanked for the excellent and practical way
in which its work had been performed. The
forty-flve delegates then resolved themselves
into Il standardization committee and carried
the motion through with vigor.
To the casual spectator verything appeared
harmonious, but others who knew a thing or
two wisely shook their heads and claimed
that it seemed little ''slaty'' and bore some
thing of a resemblance to the combines"
desired ticket.
The WING man upon meeting IA prominent
Democrat on North street in the morning
before the assembling Of the delegates, CON
graduated him upon his partys good repre-
sentation -whereupon he stated that the
newspaper man had placed him wrongly,
that while he was a Democrat, he was not
"that sort OF II convention" Democrat
while he attended the Democratic church he
didn't altogether sit in that pew.
So this seems to infer that while within the
tent the leaders agreed harmoniously, yet
without among the many. certain distrust
and apathy held not little sway.
