and state has been particularly severe,
each faction lighting hard to gain the
supremacy that would finally give it q
majority of the delegates elected to
the national convention from Mis-
souri,. AS a result of the primaries,
the so-called "sound money men
elected solid delegations in three
wards. Three other wards elected
delegates OF both persuaSions, while
the remainder of the twenty.eight
wards went solid for free silver"
Although the free sllvcrites'' will
send a large majority of thc delegates
to the state convention from here, cN-
Governor Francis and {. {. Mafitt,
chairman of the Democratic State
central committee, both prominent
leaders of the sound money" forces
