to call the afternoon session of the con-
vention to order.
The report of the committee on ere
dentials was first presented by Chair
man Brennan of Wisconsin. The state
ment in the report that there were
824 delegates to the convention, repre-
senting Al states and territories, was
heartily applauded.
The committee on permanent organ
izatiOn next reported.
The report was read by Delegate
Roberts of Missouri. 1t recommended
Senator Caffery of Louisiana for per-
manent chairman, John H. Wilson of
Indiana, secretary, and Walter Kessler
of Indiana ergeant-at-arms. The re-
port also recommended that the organ
izatiOn be made permanent and that
the national committee be empowered
to call future conventions. This por-
ton of the report met with a warm re-
Spouse from the delegates. The report
was adopted.
After a speech by Mr.. Cafery the
convention adjourned to II o'clock this
morning.
The delegates assembled slowly to-
day but despite the disagreeabIe driz-
zle outside the ticket-hOlders were ca

Today a, larger proportion of the oc-
cupantS of the galleries were ladies'
than on yesterday. Between the inter
walls of music, the hall buzzed with the
hum of conversation.
The topic uppermost in the minds of
visitors and delegates was the nomi-
nee. It was conceded that Buckner' s
nomination for vice president was a
certainty and the speculation concern
ed the selection of the candidate of
those who did not believe that General
Bragg was the strongest selection
which could be named.
The news of President CleveIand's s
telegram to the chairman of the New
York delegation, declining to permit
the use of his name, was accepted by
the convention as final
The fact that Senator Palmer has de-
clined for personal reasons to allow his
name to be used was not generally

and he was given a rousing ovation.
Soon after he took his seat Mr.. Curtis
of New Jersey talked with him and
when he left the platform he said: I
believe Senator Palmer will be the
nominee. He declines to permit the
use of his name, but qualities the state

against his wishes, his declination will

AUDITOR COLE SAYS NO.
Can Not Spend Any More Money for
State Militia Encampments.

State Auditor George E. Cole has in
formed the committee in charge of the
arrangements for the Fall Festival that
he would not allow any bills contracted
by the K. N. G. on account of the pro-
posed encampment.
The Guard held an eucampment at
Emporia last year, running up an in
debtedness OF S11 900. When the bills
were submitted to Auditor Cole he re-
fused to allow them on the ground that
the Guard had not been in active
service" for which the appropriation
had been made. However, he finally
allowed the bills, with the understand
ing that no encampment would be held
this year.
There is about SO 900 left in the Ma
tional Guard fund and an effort was
made to have the sum expended on an
encampment here during the Fail Fes-
tiVal.

SEWALL MAY RETIRE.
Significant Letter From Him Made
Public TO-DAY.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. $3.50 P. M
Chairman Jones of the Democratic ma
tional committee has made public a
letter to VIM. J. Bryan from Arthur
Sewan, apparently dated July rs, at
which time the Populist convention was
in session. The letter reads as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Bryan:-In view Of the
action of the st. Louis convention to-
day. I cannot refrain from giving you
my thoughts on the situation. My ad-
vices are that you have been nominated
as a candidate for president and Mr.
Watson for vice president. 1 also learn
through the press dispatches that you
are somewhat undecided whether you
ought to accept or decline. Now I de-
sire to say to you with the utmost
trankness and good feeling that you
must not allow my personal considera- -
t1on for me to influence you in your
action.
Il desire that you will do lust what
you believe is best for the success of
the head of the ticket The princfDIes
we are fighting for are so paramount +
to any personal considerations that the
latter should not have anv weight or
influence whatever with your action
I cannot for a moment allow myself
to be factor in any action on your
part that would in the slightest degree
hazard a single vote for YOU
with kind regards to Mrs. Bryan,
believe me your sincere friend
ARTHUR SEWALL.
bath, Me, July 25.''
The Democratic managers at the
headquarters insisted that the letter
had no further significance than that
Mr.. Bryan would consent to receive a
formal notification from the PopuIist
party in the near future, and the pub
lication was to forestall false rumors
as to the attitude ofs Mr.. SewaII toward
such ceremony

SHUT OFF BRECK1NRIDGE.
How He Was Prevented From Speak
ing Last Night

Indianapolis, Sept. 3.-Several feat
ures of the gold standard Democratic
convention have not been lacking in in
dications of political sagacity.
The fact that by delaying the ap
pearance of ex-COngressman ". c. P
Breckenridge at the mass meeting last
night resulted in that gentleman not
speaking at all, is alleged this morn
ing to have been pre-arranged
scheme because several bodies of WO-
men protested against his appearance.
It is boldly stated this morning that it
was not considered good politics to
allow Adr Breckenridge to address the
mass meeting.

WOMANS INDUSTRIAL POSITION.
Published by Request Of the American
Woman Suffrage Association.1

woman suffrage ASS0clatlOnl
l am almost ready to affirm that wo-
mans need OF the ballot arises entirely
from the point OF view OF industrial con-
ditions since all rights. privileges. and
needs develop from the one fundamental
responsibility Of sustaining and develop-
ing ones individual existence. Through
the complex development Of a civilization
based in competition, We are like women
hudGiing. on a seashore, driven by social
development that prevents any backward
retreat, and which also forces us either
into an overwhelming surf or compels us
to take boat for the open sea Of affairs.
And yet no oar Is given us. We are COM
pelled-nolens volens-"to paddle our own
canoe" yet without a paddle. We drift.
We are in terror at the breakers, and We
plead with man as he shoots past, con-
Quering nature and circumstances. We
ask for oars, but he smiles good -natured-
ly and tells us that women are getting too
ambitious: that we are not as attractive
as we were before we asked for these
things; that We are not as picturesque In
the boat, and that he cannot clearly see
why We are there. And, indeed, we our
selves do not perceive how 1t has come
about, and we wish 1t were not so, and the
dear old song commencing Backward.

driven into the boats by that dread imper-
sonality-civilization- yet the nec-
essary oar has thus far been withheld.
Again--to use another metaphor-civil-
ization, with It's competitive system, has
forced the entire race into mountain rang
es, which II Is compelled to conquer and
subdue. Woman is there with her hus-
band, sons. and brothers, and must needs
climb because there Is no retreat; yet the
Alpine stick which man carries. both as
support and defense, IL not placed In her
hands. II she pleads for 1t, man responds
good-humoredly, but tells her she would
not know how to use II and the attempt
would really be more of q disadvantage
than help to the entire company. SO
she follows as best she may--stumbling.
falling. yet smiling. that no one may guess
her tears.
How little the opponents Of woman suf-
frage perceive and understand, that in the
final analysis this Is a question Of self
preservation in an arena of conflicting
forces; and that 1t is as unrelated to per-
sonal ambitions as was the cry Of Peter
to his Master when he found himself sink
ing. It Is high time that man should per-
ceive and admit, that the social situation
which has led woman to ask for the bal
lot Is not of her making or desire: and
the asking Is only the imperative neces-
sity of that situation. Meanwhile prog
ress waits that mans philosophy may rise
to the height of the Occasion.-Augusta
