Conventions.

ST Louis, July 81. lS95.-Every
hour that have passed here makes
me appreciate the Incompatible eli
mate of Nevada. | am AZ the top of Il
seventeen story hotel, whele the land
lord assured me hat IN consideration
OF an old acquaintance OF twenty
years standing, he would put me in a
cool place. At night when you 90 to
bed, the first thug you do is to riug
for two call boys, and pay them a
quarter apiece to pull Jour undershirt
off OF your head You Hext get u
clothes wringer, and hang it over u
chair to dry. In the morning you lind
that it contains more moisture than
when you left it at night. This gives
you but a faint idea Of the humid at
mosphere Of Missouri. When the time
comes for it to rain, you are glad TO
see the signs of the storm, as you eX-
pect to be cooled off, but in most in
stances. it rains marin water. o

GOODNESS. Coming out on the train we
had d Nevada Delegate on board
from out Of the Great East, from one
of the counties along neal the Base
Range. The trip was simply sWelter-
lng When he reached st. Louis, he
happned to make the remark that be
had been unable to sleep nights on
account of having a thick winter suit
on.
You don't mean TO say, said George
Baker, that you sleep with your cLo;hrs
on in ii Pullman?"
why Of course / do" was the dele
gates reply.
why in thunder didn't you take
them OFF, "Ladies Oh the %train." was
the rejoinder, OF course I'm not saying
what county this gentleman is from,
but this story is literally true,
The greatest nuisance about this
Convention are the long haired Popu-
lists from the South. Tney are the
most unwashed, unkejnpr, md di.-
gushing set of creatures that you ever
set Jour eyes on. They havn't the
slightest idea of National Politics. or
the Importance Of the money question.
Most of them have never been in poll
ties before, and they nave to keep a
cinch rope tied around their waist t.
keep from bursting with their own i'm
portahce. Their only idea in this
campaign, is to have the pleasure OF
voting a ticket with the word Populisl
printed at the head. Those who come
from Parishes in the South which dc
not poll Yer SO of the total vote, are
the most rabid in their v~ociferations
for third ticket. Except a few who
come from places not polling over 90
the smaller vote they poll, the more
noise they make. Their idea Of poi,
itical happiness is gauged entirely upOI
their ability to pick up small politica
disturbances which may possibly eff
feet results without doing themselves
| or anybody else any good. They ar
the natural enemies of Mckinley, will
his gold standard and high tariff
plank, and the Democratic Platform
gives them in some of its planks
what they have been bowling vocifer
Ously for the last twenty years, bu
they would rather see Bryan defeated
than to fOregO the satisfaction. Of be
ing able to say after the campaign
that they had run a ticket anyhow
= They glory in being looked upon IA
| off horses and political kickers. The,
are unable to con prehend the fatttha
il they put up a separate ticket an
Bryan is elected, that their obligera
2 ton as a party organization is a nat
ural sequence, whereas failing to lin
| in a victorious campaign would Civ
them a standing impossible for ther
to enjoy under any other circumstan
l ces, 1t is the opinion of many how
ever, that the Bryan Cyclone wi
t hustle them over the face OF the cOun
try at such a rapid gait that on elet
ton day they will have to grab a 70.
in order to keep from falling off tn
e Earth. The delegations however i
