ROANOKE, VA, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 8 is

met with warm response from the del
egates. The report was adopted, and Mr.
Bullltt, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Law
Ter, of Minnesota, escorted Senator
Gallery to the platform.
In assuming the gavel, Senator Gallery
made an impressive speech He referred
occasionally to his manuscript. The con-
v.ention listened closely and frequently
interrupted him by applause.
At the conclusion of Senator Caffery's
speech John p. Irish, of California, was
called for and responded with speech,
Mr.. Irish has quite n reputation as an
orator, and he fully justified it.
Immediately after Mr.. Irish's speech,
the convention at $50 adjourned until to-
morrow morning at II o'clock.
Perhaps the most important action
taken by the convention to-day was the
adoption of n Recommendation to-make
the organization permanent and to en-
power the national committee appointed
TO call future conventions. This indicates
contest four years from now over the
regularity of the two organizations, and
may prove far-reaching in its effects
Inc platform will be adopted and the
candidates nominated tomorrow. To-
night great mass meeting is in pro-
gress, while one set of leaders are at work
framing the platform and another trying
to fiX upon candidate. There seems to
be an almost unanimous sentiment in
favor of General Buckner, of Kentucky
for Nlce-President, but the contest for
President is still open.
The committee on resolutions was in
session for nearly an hour and n half to-
day, and in that time it developed that
there was wide disagreement between
the members of the committee as to the
form the declaration of principles should
take. The matter was discussed at great
length, and from $50 to 300 drafts of plat
forms and portions of platforms were
submitted.
Several members offered the complete
platforms of their various States. and
George NJ. Davie, of Kentucky, offered
the platform adopted by the gold oonven-
tion of that State, and said he did not
think 1t could he bettered. 1t was found
that the opinions were so diverse that it
would be necessary to appoint sub
committee for the purpose of sitting tn e
different platforms submitted, and make
draft suitable for this convention.
The sentiment and majority for a
declaration for the single gold standard
was rather surprising to those who hoped
that something might he done favoring

A Joke On Otis Harlan.

While walking along the Champs Elysees,
Paris, last summer, Otis Harlan was APP
preached by well dressed man, who said
to him, "How do you do, Mr.. Harlanp'
It was such pleasure to hear his native
language spoken that Harlan grasped tho
strangers hand warmly Many familiar
resorts In New York were spoken of by
the stranger, and Harlan, while not recog-
nizing him, thought he must have known
the man. Harlan finally observed, "Par-
don me; but have such a poor memory
for names and have forgotten yours. -
The man told him, and they continued
their walk. AS they were about to part,
Harlan invited his affable companion to
dine at his hotel, where he was introduced
to several friends. After Harlan's return
to New York he stepped into the barber
shop Of one of the hotels. The barber pres
emily said tn the actor:
"How did you enjoy your stay in Paris
Mr.. Harlan?"
"Oh, very much, very much" replied
the actor, glad of the opportunity to talk
about beautiful "Paree -

1t would hardly be fair race, as Linton
would have all the best pacemakers, while

"Michael's hackers say that the match

three and five miles. These will be the
only conditions unless Michael obtains
some good men for his pacing machines.
