Judge Dennison said there should DO
fair play, and thus sore spots In the

gized the populist party and spoke OF
some of the legislation which It had
accomplished. His mention OF the
law forbidding the execution OF gold
contracts was especially applauded'
These laws, he said, were enacted by
the famous stormy legislature OF 1899,
and in the eleven days the senate and
house were together in that session
more good laws were enacted by that
legislature than had been passed Tor 20
years before.
The temporary organization was
made permanent. At the afternoon
session the convention appointed
committee of H. one from each con-
gressional district, to confer with the
democrats in regard to fusion. The
rules were suspended and the conven-
ton took up the regular order Of busi-
ness.

governor being in order, Quincy A.

Petitions viii BE Presented to the Arkan7
sas Legislature for This Reform.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. IA petit
ton is being circulated throughout
Arkansas to be presented to the legis-
lature this winter, setting forth that
since the adoption Of the three cent
rate for the carriage Of passengers on
the railroads of that state the cost Of
construction and operation has greatly
diminished, and that the charge for car
rying freight has diminished I'M corre-
spending manner, while passenger
rates have been diminished only
through thousand mile tickets, with
such restrictions as greatly to diminish
the value OF the concessions. The
petitioners believe that a two cent
rate for passengers for all distances
and on all roads in that state would be
equal to three cent rate 20 years ago.
