WOMEN IN POLITICS.
Cut Terrible Figure in a Colo
RADIO Convention.
THEY CLAW land SCRATCH
Bearded Masculine Member heir
Tongues Precipitate Several
Rows--Treated as Men.

Denver, March lathe middle Of the.
road Populists met here yesterday and
adjourned after three hours of lighting.
Women were in the thick of the melee
and they were in several instances lnSu-
gators of the attacks. The first assault
was provoked by the remark of a woman
that she would not sit in a convention
with the hirelings of corporations, indi-
eating one of the delegates The latter
replied that the accuser was a liar and
her husband flew to the rescue, while his
wife and her women companions stood by
and cheered the fighters.
Mrs e. w. Reed started another row
by stating that she had seen too much of
politics to blush any more, as that was a
perfunctory effort that did the party no
good Mrs Alice Faulkner took a hand
in the row and euligized Grand Old Man
Waite" She grew excited and some one
made a sighting remark that precipi-
tated further trouble. The event of the
afternoon was when Mrs. Holmes replied
to the attack of the boiler inspector, w.
r. Frazer. He said that the corporations
were more powerful than Populist princi-
pies That's a lie" shouted half dozen
and men and women were on their feet
making for the speaker.
IF the shoe fits you, put it on re-
torted Frazier, bracing himself for the
rush. He was no match for the crowd
and was driven from his position but
fought desperately to the door.
Mr.. Akers came in next for rough
treatment. On being asked by Mrs. Reed
if it was not time for him to go out and
choke himself to DEATH Akers retorted
that Mrs. Reed had not added anything to
her reputation by going out as a street
singer. Mrs. Holmes demanded why the
men stood silently by and saw the women
insulted. None responded and then Mrs.
Reed and Mrs. Holmes administered the
punishment themselves and tore most of
Mr. Akers's beard out of his face.

The Members Have Experience With
Some of the Col Brassy CALLS"
Nv. f. Curtis. in Chicago Record


Nv. L. Curtis, in Chicago Record.
The members in the new cabinet are
learning some of the tricks of Washing
ton lobbyists and habitua office hunters.
The other day, when MIR. Bliss. the new
Secretary of the Interior. began to sus-
pect what kind of job he had struck"
the telephone bell rang, and the messen-
ger who answered it said that his old
friend General Blank wanted to know if
he could see him for a moment. Mr.. Bliss
said yes. and few moments later Gen
eral entered the door and greeted the
new secretary like long-lost brother.
Mr.. Bliss led the way to lite private
retiring ROOM and was closeted with his
friend, the General, for about five min
utes. When he re4appeared, he said to
ex-Secretary Francis who had been ex-
planning the routine of the office to him:
My old friend, General Blank, asked
me to sign a little order he has prepared.
He says it is mere routine Is there any
objection
NO" said Ne. Francis. laughngly. 9
at is true that the order is merely rou-
tine. but it confirms the decision Of Com
missioner Lamoreaux in the Chicago lake
OOO. OGO worth of property You can
oblige your friend if you ike. but if You
do so. the petitioners will have won their
case, SO far as this department is con-
cerned."
Mr.. Bliss gasped. turned little pale,
and the lines deepened around his mouth.
He took off his glasses and wiped them.
and went into the little room where his
friend. Gen. Blank, was waiting for him.
In very few seconds Gen. Blank passed
through the office and out into the CORR
dor without saying goodbye.
Mr.. Gage is having a similar experience,
although tho consequences involved are
not so serious. j candidate for an office
pressed by all sorts of influences in n
most extraordinary manner. The Grand
Army of the Republic. the Loyal Legion,
the Masonic Fraternity. members of the
Republican National Committee, the
committee in charge of the Inauguration.
and even the other members of the Cab
met. have been urging his appointment
all tie week, and Mr.. Gage was jus,
about yielding to their pressure when he
learned that the candidate had once been
in the government service and had been
retired very suddenly under mysterious
circumstances after an official inyestiga-
ton. The Secretary summoned the per
sons who had conducted the investigation
and discovered that he had had q mar
row escape. Lots Of old-timers are turn
ing up here looking for jobs, and their
experience has taught them how to get al
the public crib with the least trouble.

F.,pkf;Is. Nv, March 1.-THE Relrub-

silver democrats, sound money Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. The movement
tions to-day. and tonight is the talk of
poIitical circles generally. Several prom
inent Republicans who have been promot-
ing the deal. were in consultation this
afternoon, as were the representatives of
both wings of the Democrats. 1t is diff
cult to conceive of a union OF the Black
burn and anti Bla ckburn Democrats. in
view OF their hatred of each other, on
any proposition: but it is said some impor-
tant messages were exchanged between
the different meetings. and that the Re
publcams in question were assured that
Governor Bradley could be elected II
the Republicans would contribute few
votes.
Governor Bradley and Hunter touched
elbows in Il principal hotel Lobby this af-
ternoon. hut neither gave any sign or re-
cognitidn of the other. Dr. Hunter and
his leutenanrs claim they are not agltat-
ed over the attempted coalition. Hum

several sound money Democrats. and that
the Bradley movement will come to

that the silver men could be pulled into
line for Bradley.
WILLING TO WAIT FOR A BALLOT
DR.. Hunter said tonight that no effort
would DE made to ballot for Senator till
the 23rd. He said he was certain to be
elected, and he did not want to go to
Washington with even a shadow of cloud
'tpon his title, and. as everybody would
be satisfied by waiting till that time,
Lieutenant Governor Worthingtons rul-
ing, that a ballot could not be taken le-
galy till then would be acquiesced in.
The Blackburn men say that in electing
Governor Bradley to the Senate they
would accomplish some good politics.
This would give the Democrats "A chance
