A lengthy address to the Democrats of
Jackson county was adopted, setting forth
IN detail the reasons for the formation of
clubs to perpetuate the Democratic organ
tzation. which has been surrendered TO the
Populists by the Chicago convention. The
address was presented by Judge ]. Med.
Trimble. and places law and order before
the financial issue in stating the objections
OF Democrats 10 the Chicago platform.
The convention was called to order at 2:30
O'Clock by Thomas r. Morrow. chairman of
the executive committee of the Democratic
Sound Money Club. A. r. Strother was
elected chairman and c. S. Palmer. secre-
tary.
A committee of seven to select delegates
10 the ST. Louis state convention was ap-
pointed. consisting OF ]. Med. Trimble, A.
J.. o. Schueler. j. W. Garner, ID. p Thorn
son, Thomas r. Morrow. c. B. Mccoy and
w. j. Meads. This committee subsequently
reported the delegates as given above and
the report was unanimously adopted.
d. Is. Holmes and Judge Trimble made
brief talks. but there was no attempt at
epeechmaking during the convention. The
delegates were elected, and as this was the
sole object of the convention, 'journment
was taken when this object was attained.
In presenting the address adopted by the
convention later Judge Trimble placed him.
self at the disposal of the sound money
managers during the campaign. The ad-
dress details at length the events connect
ed with the Debs strike and denounces the
anarchistic action oof the Chicago conven-
fion in condemning the supreme court. The
money question is ably and eXhaustively
presented ID. B. Holmes thought that the
money question ought to be made first but
Judge James Scammon. Chairman Stroth-
er and others declared that law and or.
der was an issue more important than even
the money question.
There was no fuss and feathers about
the convention. A few selections by the
Battery b band were the only music fur
nished. Such airs as Star Spangled Ban
ner. Dixie" and similar tunes seemed &c
be In great favor. The only attempt al
decorating the hall was strip of bunting
at the rear of the hall and streamers a
the sides of the platform giving lists of ths
gold and silver standard countries of the
world.
A noticeable feature OF the convention
was the fact that the merest mention OF
the name of President Cleveland was greet
ed with loud cheers. and the name of Coy
ernor Stone was greeted with Kisses.
