 While the nomination Of this county ticket and the preliminary proceedings were in progress the opera house was flied with the breath of. victory The room was radiant with color. A broad national flag formed the back ground, and high up in the center of the stage was a large portrait of Pres ident Mckinley. The pictures of James G. Blaine and Captain William O. O'Neill rested On easels on either side. Portraits of Lincoln and Grant were hung over the auditorium Tho business Of the convention was transacted briskly. The preliminary organization. the appoin tnent of the usual committees the necessary delay iavolyed ia awaiting their reports, the noon recess, the permanent organiza- tion. the reports of the nominations Of county and precinct officers, and the gathering up of odds and ends, alto gether occupied less than. eight hours The convention was especially dis finguished for two things, the tribute paid to the Rough Riders" in both the platform and the ticket and a CO., alition with the populists on the basis of plank in the platform favoring those two essential populist doctrines, the initiative and referendum, and the imperative mandate. The reeom- mendation regarding the former was not so broad as it would have been made in a purely populist platform, since 1t relates to submission to the people of only such legislation as affects their material and financial in terests. Comparatively little time was
  no lost motion at all in the working Of the convention machinery.
