ne QelegateS, V1SitOrS an OCan-
didates were all astir early this
morning, and working hard for
their friends and financial views
The silver men were talking freely
of silver at 10 to 1, while the gold
men were talking and working for
single standard.
The greatest fight in the con-
vention will be on the financial
question, and it seems at present
that neither side will have an easy
battle.
The silver men are outspoken
and d .termined to carry the con-
vention if possible. while the gold
men seem TO be working for the
same end from their point Of view.
1t is believed, however, that, no
matter how the convention may
decide this important question, all
true democrats will stand by the
decision. This is democracy-the
majority shall rule.
After breakfast many of the
strangers took strolls over our
beautiful city, and all express
themselves as being favorably i'm,
pressed with the appearance Of
our town.
The convention was called tO
gcther at the tent at I2:OC
o'clock sharp by the Jacksonville
and Ocala' bands and at exactly
1925 the meeting was called tc
order by chairman Of the State
Executive Committee S. M

done at the session tonight.
The Ocala house office and YER
andas are a good deal like the Chi
cago wheat pit on busy day.
The FIRE department loaned the
convention their chairs TO use on
the platform.
Still they come. Every train
that arrived today brought more
delegates as we'll as a great many
visitors.
The bureau Of information has
been one Of the most valuable fea-
lures of the convention,
The Citrus county delegation,
with Col. c. M. DuPree as chair

uniforms and caps, and each man
carried cane with a smoll Amer
lean flag attach ed. They were
met by the first battalion band
and escorded to the Oca'a house,
presenting most pleasing appear
ance.
A number cf delegates held an
all night caucus on the front porch
of The Ocala.
Some of the candidates and
delegates were so anxious to stop
at convention headq quarters, The
Ocala, that VIM. Fox referred
them to the roof as everything
else was taken up. 1t was very
hard to get delegates to lodge far
from the square, they would put
up with any thing if it was close
to headquarters.
Among the new candidates are
T. p. Chaires of Lafayette county,
J for treasurer. He is strong dark
: horse. in. c. Stockton is men
toned by his friends for governor,

his wires with great activity.
. Bars, Stockton and BroWard
form the trio of "anti-delegate free

although their wings have been
clipped"

y done on both sides.

A nomination of temporary
chairman then being in order,
Mr.. Hartridge of Duval county in
a nice little speech placed the
name of Hon. Samuel Pasco be-
fore the convention, which was
seconed by a half dozen and a
motion made to elect by aCClama-
ton which was carried and the
Senator was escorted to the chair
by a committee of three.
Mr. PasCo in a brilliant but short
address accepted the honor.
L, B. Durlin of Orange county
was then chosen by acclamatlon
as temporary chairman and Mr..
Walker of Wakulla, and Randall
of Clay assistants.
The committee on credentials
was the next thing in order and
each delegation was allowed to
select one of their number to act
on this committee
The convention then took a
recess until five O clock when they
will again be called to order and
hear the report of this committee
and take up other business of the
convention.

It Banished His Father Years Ago Fol
Cleaning His Nails In Church.
A strange tale Of a man s resentment
for an injury done his father more than
thrce-quarters Of century ago was
brought TO light on a recent Sunday by
the visit to this city Of Daniel Porter, a
wealthy merchant Of san Jose, Cal
True TO vow registered many years
ago he refused to stay longer than -
hours in state that had melted out tc
his father unjust ard terrible punish
ment for a trivial oiIense, the mere
thoughtlcss infraction, in fact, Of a
blue law even at that time almost in
desuetude. Although pressed to remain
by his host, well known west end
man, his determination not to pass two
nights in the old Nutmeg State could
not be shaken, and lie left for New York
Sunday afternoon.
In the year lSlj Mr. Porter's father,
whose name was also Daniel, was a
young man of is years in the little
town Of Coventry Sermons were tedious
things in those days, and one Sunday as
young Porter sat in church he allowed
his thoughts towander. Abscntminded-
" he drew his knife from his pocket
and commenced to cut his finger nails
The sharp eye Of the tithing man caught
the Dissertation Of the sanctuary, and
Porter was at once placed under arrest
The court in which he was tried pre-
served the usagcs Of old colonial days,
the present constitution Of Connecticut
not having been adopted until 1918,
and the gravity Of his offensc was clear
" recognized under the old code. Tho
court found a punishment to fit the
crime, and Porter was ordered to be
bani,hcd from the state for life What
is more, he had to 90, for there was no
dallying with the law IN those days
Porter had expressed a desire to 20 to
sea. and q constable escorted him to
New London, whore he found a ship
lie followed the sea for more than 20
yars, but carly in the fortics drifted to
Cincinnati. Here he married and had
two SONS. One Of these is the one who
paid the city a flying visit on Sunday
Early in life he went TO California and
has become "A wealthy man.
Mr. Porter said. while he recognized
the fact that his father could have re-
turned without molestation many years
before he died, he thought that he had
been done an irreparable injustice,
which never could be forgiven. He en-
tcrtained, he said, no feeling Of love for
or pride in the old state which had been
the birthplace Of his forbcars.
Mr.. Porter arrived in the city Sunday
morning and late in the afternoon left
for New York. He saw but little Of the
city, and said that he was not interested
in anything that came from or was
part Of Connecticut Bridgeport Union.

HISTORIC BELLS.
The Story Of Pair of Remarkable Old
Spanish Pealers.


Spanish Pealers.
Two old and remarkable bells have
just been received by the Cincinnati
Bell Foundry company from Panama,
South America. These two old Spanish
pealers were manufactured i'll the years
1000 and 1920 respectively.
The gentleman who shipped them
from Panama states in a letter to the
Cincinnati firm that these bells have an
interesting history. The letter states:
"You might desire to know something
Of these two old bells sent you, outside
Of commercial value. The small one
was cast iii the year 1900, and the large
one in 1920. They have beep useless as
bells for years, but have served to carry
back the thoughts e the Spanish popu
lace here to the old days when this con-
tinent was not so great and so thickly
populated as at present.
Il am sorry that public spirit was not
of IL sufficient character to keep them as
a relic Of the old days when our fore
fathers fought with the natives and the
wild animals which in that time were
plentiful III this region.
1.-THE small bell was first placed in q
rudely constructed Catholic church. 1t
served both as a call to worship and an
alarm when there was danger from tho
natives. For many years it remained in
this old church. but was eventually
transferred to the steeple Of new church
at about the year 1900 From this edi-
fee it was again moved TO a newer one,
always with great pomp and ceremony,
and each time consecrated by the bishop.
But, like all other things Of earth, it
became old, broken, and was finally
abandoned as useless and thrown among
a lot Of church rubbish, though a part Of
the history Of the country. and is prob
ably the oldest bell in America.
''The history Of the large bell, cast in
1920, is similar to that Of the small one,
excepting that it was placed in the
steeple Of the San Rafael church and re-
manned there until it had become use
less. "
The bell cast in 1920 bears the fol.
lowing inscription; rs. Rafael, Ammo
Domini De, 1920"
These two old bells are peculiar in
shape as compared with those OF the
present day. The top Of the bells is
nearly as large as the base, They ere

at is interesting to note, says the
London Times, that NJ. Leon Says an

Sciences in 1891, was an Englishman
named John Say, possibly connected with
the Sage and Sele family, or with the
Lord Say condemned by Jack Cade
John Say went TO Holland as a merchant
