enthusiasm displayed was not strikingly
large. but the utmost harmony prevailed
The fact that there was to be no opposi-
ton 70 the denomination Of Captain Lamb

thusiasm which would have characterized
tho proceedings had there been a contest
for the nomination.
The platform adopted was very brief,
and the vote was unanimous, though q
minority report was offered. Imperialism

upon by political conventions. The ques-
tioa was a new one to those who had to
consider It IN the Committee ON Resolu-

port ucclarlng against territorial eSpan-
sion was voted down, but the platform
was made 10 uncquiyocally declare

convention, though several addresses
were made; some OF them above the
average IN point Of excellence.

over two hours, It being exactly three

looking up Mr.. Rodlle's brand record.
He finds that $4,000 was collected. OF
which Roddle now has on hand about
800. He has probably converted to his
own use about $500 to $1,000, as the
share retained by his Office amounts to
$1,000. No vouchers are shown for the
expenditures except checks on the First
National bank where Mr.. Roddle keeps
his funds. 1t is intimated that he may
give up the money and return 1t to the
state treasury but since the Argus
Leader, after denying the charge and de-
clarlng that Roddle should resign il the
accusation were true, has now under
taken to justify the conversion of the
fees, Mr.. Roddle is between the devil and
