We recognize in properly conducted banks
a great convenience to business, and are ever
willing to defend them but we cannot con-
cede the right Of bank to issue money,

the general government only, and when sur

pc followed by distress and suffering among
the people
We demand the abolition of the contract
system for public works.

We're fired at the chair in the hope of
delaying the matter and the delegates
hurled uneomplimentary appellations
across the hall in reckless disregard of

Ztelers called the secretary to the chair
and took the floor to offer what he
called a substitute for the Democratic
nomination for coroner. He said he
was opposed to any man holding office
for three terms; that the Peoples party
was opposing Sheriff Chapel on that
ground and that it could not con-
siStently support DR.. WhitcOmb. DIR.
Zigler then said few uncomplimen-
tary things about DR.. Whitcomb and
declared the Democrats had broken
faith with their conference committee
by not nominating DR.. Xanten. This
red hot retort to the effect that the
Democrats had not broken their faith
with the PopuliSts for the reason that
offices and not men were considered
by the joint conference committee and
that if DR.. Xanten's name had been
mentioned there to secure him the
nomination it had had no right to be
so mentioned. The Democrats had not
spoken of Whitcomb in the conference
and they had a perfect and honest
right to go out into their convention
after the division of offices and NOM
mate whom they pleased.

I A call for the previous question closed
the debate-that is it was supposed to-
Z but Paradis kept on talking until adj
monished several times to "sit down"
or keep STILL" When he saw in the
terms of the street that the "stuff" was
finally off, he launched a string of
epithets at his fellow delegates pre-
faced by strong but inelegant adjec-
tfves to the effect that some of them
were .'--. Of seekers" rem
egades and political tricksters, and,
grabbing his hat, bolted the hall.
When the question of indorsing the
Democratic nominees was put to a
vote 1t was adopted without dis

had hard work TO conceal it's unmis-
