near Sutton in Franklin county, tn

who loved him go dearly, and then
have that dear mother to ask you was
her darling boy gone. 1t was so hard
to give him up just as he was entering
manhood, and he wanted to live 80

take it so much to heart. We do sim

how to keep his stock replenished with

called for By his customers, and are

every nerve to prevent it,
When the roll was called they rallied

Butler of North Carolina was q power

north state behind him and Congress-
man Skinner, the chairman of the dele

against the change. When the vote
was figured up, however, and he ascer-
tanned that there was a majority of 26
in favor of the proposition under his
direction, after very pretty theatrical
exhibition from Mr.. Skinner, the vote
of the delegation was cast for the prop
osition and the ants emerged from the
contest with majority of 10. This
made the defeat of Sewall and the NOM
ination of Populist for vice president
certain. After that the conference Of
the joint committee of the two conven-
tons could come to nothing and the
silver convention promptly nominated
Bryan and Sewall and adjourned sine
