Harvey Lincoln,
the pop" convention banner was trot-
ted out bearing a picture OF Herr Most
and Mckinley, and this inscription: The
modern HerOd and PLATE unite 10 cruelty
the common people" About a third of the
delegates m the convention are like the
Jews of old, who rushed around crying:
Cruelty, cruelty" When they have moth
ing better to say they howl up and down
everywhere: Cruelty the gold bug, cru
city him. Their idea of crucifxion is
jabbing him through with a pitchfork.
The most notable woman in the entire
populist convention, by reason OF owning
an unusually clever head and being a po-
Hucal speaker of ability and with mag
nihcent education, says the Tribunes
special. Is Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell, as
sstant attorney general of Montana, and
wife of Gen. Haskell. attorney general of
the state. 1t Will be remem bered that she
ran on the pOpulist ticket of 1892 in oppo-
sition to Haskell of the republican party
and came very close to winning her prize.
She was only bowling ac-
the time. AS she is an exceptionally sue
cessful lawyer. she met him frequently
after his election, and the friendship
drifted into love, and year ago they
We're married. Mrs Haskell is a grad
uSte of Bates College, in Maine, receiving
the degree Of A. b. and A. VI. She is the
INST WuIltiA ever erected 10 a state or ma
tional convention, and one of the best
an-around speakers on the silver question
In the country. During the big mining
suit, short while since IN which James
y. Higgins was the plaintin-one of San
Francisco's millionaires-Mrs Haskell
won the suit against him, for which she
obtained a $4,000 fee, the largest ever
given a woman.
The incubator convention has had a
mighty hard time getting anybody to pray
for it, and at last accounts il is still
marching around without prayers says
the Philadelphia Records correspondence.
1t has hired a minister each day. but at
the opening Of each session the announce
ment has been made that REV. Mr. 50
and So, who was requested to open this
session with prayer, has been suddenly
called out of town. l hope that We arc
all in a sufficiently prayerful condition =
rms announcement each time has been
greeted with considerable applause, what
ever there Is to a.'plaud about.
Here, says the Tribune's special, is an
other Of Congressman TONNES Jokes:
"Fellow-citizens we are men in a feYnnle
OF concord. From these walls the coun-
terfett presentments of Beethoven ami
wagner look down upon us, those grand
masters of harmony"
A delegate in the rear of the hall IN
quired whether them fellers'' (meaning
the great composers were populists or
MLssoury dimmocrats?"
The women delegates to the convention
are kicking because the hotels make II a
| rule that the women shall have liberty
only in the ladies parlor says the SUMS
special. The ladies parlors, as a rule are
small and stuffy. Miss Helen Bartlett Mitch
ell, Hon. ]. SoCkless SIMPSONS pet Doet
was encountered by a reporter at the La
clede to-day. She said -Four times thew
have told me to go back into the ladies'
parlor when l wanted to come out They

What do you want?' and l replied 'Whv I
want to see the men On, it is so different
in Kansas" she sighed. They treat rs ont
| there Just as if we were some body; here
they don't know how to treat a lady, and
she was almost on the point of shedding
tears.
There is one assistant sergeant-at-arms
at the silver convention who attracts more
attention than all the others put togeth-
eer' says the Tribune's special. She is Lii
nan NJ. Haniey, pretty girl, who is heart
and soul for William J. Bryan and free
silver Her father is a delegate to the con-
vention, but her wishes are law with him.
and were he opposed to free silver and
Bryan he would vote for them because she
says so. Miss Hanley is a brunette with a
hgure to match her pretty face She also
has a sweet voice, and when this fact is
discovered the convention will call upon
her to entertain it..
As Mary Elizabeth Lease left the con-
| vention hall to-day she stepped into a cab
Arriving at the Southern she gave s. to
the bell boy to settle her bill and he re-
| turned with g. Actual fire CLEANED in her
eyes, and in sepulchral tones she said:
/ GO down and tell that cabman I'll have
him in jail tomorrow morning if he don't
send back the rest of that money. Guess
he STRUCK the wrong woman for that sort
of deal" Presently a boy out of breath
returned with the s.. %.
"Janitor," said Senator Stewart, lust be-
fore leaving Washington for St Louis. st
