seats in the convention.
Capt. F. NJ. Lewis, chairman elects
and Secretaries Fenstemaker and
CASTOR were duly escorted to their
places by committees appointed for

Before entering upon his official
duties Chairman Lewis made 4 speech,
the most prominent feature of which
was his recommendation to the DEM
ocratic party to take 1.-The gold cure"
as administered by DR.. Kelley, of
Dwight, H., which convinced us that
the speaker had been thinking serious
ly of taking the Kelley cure himself,
and only wanted to take his Demo-
cratic friends along with him in order
that he might have good company.

in the Republican party. p. T. also
walled over the recent Democratic
primary and Its methods, and brought
his speech to close by sounding the
praises of VIM. Mckinley as the
