that the democrats should have two
and the pops one. The state committees
then took up the matter. Mullen stood
at the head of the populist ticket and the
pops decided that he was the man who
should stay. The other two men, it is
understood, were willing to get off,
$50 far all was lovely. All the demo
Gratis had to do was to take down one of
their electors and put Mullen in his
! place. They went TO work and suggested
that they take down Sam Rich. He said
that Rich was Mormon and that the
Mormons were good friends of his, and
that therefore he wouldn't take the
place of Mormon.
Then the democrats tried it again.
They sent word to the pops that they
would take down f. J. Dockery aud put
Mullen in his place. This didn't suit
| Mullen either. He replied that Mr..
Dockery was perfect stranger and that
he couldn't think of taking strangers
place. 1t is intimated that Mullen then
sent word that he would be glad to take
the place of his dear friend, James w.
Reid of Nez Perce.
This is what caused all the grief to the
democrats. Mr.. Reid not only met their
request with positive refusal to get off
the ticket to make room for populist,
but is said to have declared that il a pop
ulist was placed on the democratic
electoral ticket, that he would get out
and stump the state for Mckinley.
This sort of riled up the pops, too. In
their answer they called attention to the
fact that it was Mr.. Reid who made the
bitter speech at Pocatello declaring that
he would not trust populist to cast a
vote for BRYAN, and they laid it down
fatty that Mr. Reid would not only trust
| pop to cast such vote, but that he
| would also get off the ticket to make
room for the same pop or they would fix
| it so that no one would ever have any
| occasion to count the vote of Mr.. Reid
for Bryan, or, for that matter, any one
else from Idaho.'' -

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The
Daughters OF the American Revolu

cussion over the purchase of the
home of declaration of independ-

have long memories. The prop erty

one from Connecticut suggested that
the ID. A. R. of the State might go TO
work and raise money for the pur-
chase of the property as the D. A. r.

along.
This brought to the front a very
small woman with still smaller
voice, who said that in Georgia
ladies all wanted to be Daughters of

they wanted to be Daughters
of the Confederacy, and were
raising money for a monument
to the greatest of generals of the

KANSAS CITY

Next Democratic National
Convention.
WILL BE HELD THERE JULY 4TH
Milwaukee Fell Far Behind Mention
of Bryan and Chicago Platform
Arouses Enthusiasm.

WASHINGTON, Feb. % The next
Democratic National convention will be
held in Kansas City, July 4.
This was the decision of the Demo
cratic National Committee, which met
at the Hotel Raleigh to-day to Xix the
time and place of holding the conyen-
ton
Milwaukee was the only other city
which competed for the honor of enter
tanning the convention, and the poor
showing she made when the vote was
taken the result being, Kansas City 40,
Milwaukee 81, caused general surprise.
The claims of the rival cities as to
hotel accommodations, railroad and
teegraphic facilities, were presented in
open session by representatives of each
city, and subsequently in executive SEES
sion. Gov. w. j. Stone, en- behalf OF
Kansas City, and National Committee
man f. G.. Wall, on behalf of Milwaukee
explained the financial inducements
which the city he represented was will
ing to make.
Each offered the committee S50,000
but, in addition, Kansas City was will
ing to furnish hotel accommodation fol
members of the committee and the hall
with decorations and music, free of ex
pense TO the committee.
One of Milwaukee's strongest argu
ments was the political effect of holding
the convention in that city upon tn,
German American voters, who wer
represented to the committee as WAIVER
ing in their allegiance TO the Republi
can party.
1t seemed to be taken for granted b.
at least two speakers that Bryan woul,
be renominated, and that the Chicag
platform in substance would be re
affirmed. Opposition to trusts, expan
sion and Imperialism, together wit
every mention of Bryan and the Chicag
platform, aroused enthusiasm.

A new and interesting feature of the
Commissioner of Labor's report for the
year 1899 will be the pearl industry in
Tennessee. Commissioner Shihett has
secured data regarding pearl fishing
from Clinch, Duck and Tennessee
Rivers. Pearl fishing of Clinch River
is probably more of an avocation than
in any other section of the State. Sew
eral parties there have made very valu-
able finds, the pearls finding ready
market in New York. Agents of promi,

If all the breezes from theA tropical
regions had floated up to day, they
could not have created warmer time
than was witnessed in the Mau y
! County RepuDncan convention, whiLn
convened AT O'Clock this afternoon in
the Chancery Court room. 1t was not
only warm" but "red hot" and for II
while it looked as though there would
be serious trouble.
The convention was called to order by
Chairman H. f. Fariss, after which
Coz. A. M. Hughes was elected Chair
man and Felix Webster, COL, Secretary.
From the very beginning it was evident
that there would be a clash between the
Brownlow and Evans factions, and this
clash came when Col. Hughes had taken
the stand and spoken few minutes.
Col. Hughes is strong Brownlow
man, and when he began to speak, the
Evans faction began to boot, and pam
demonium reigned supreme During his
speech Col. Hughes said that it had been
reported that he was not going to appoint
any colored men as census enum-
orators. The man who said this, he as
serted, was cot only liar, but d d
liar. He was the negro's friend and had
always stood by him and secured APP
pointments for him whenever he could.
He had appointed them because they
were men and citizens of the United
States and were privileged to hold Of
fees. He was the only man in Tennes-
see who had secured commission for a
colored man in the United States army.
Col. Hughes was very indignant at
being hooted, and faced the hooters
with frowning countenance and mar
tial voice.
II have stood before Democratic con-
ventions," he said, land been yelled
down, but | do not intend to be yelled
down in Republican convention"
Col. Hughes was strong in his de-
nunclation of II. Clay Evans. He said
he was not a friend of the negro, and
although he had LOGO appointments OF
clerks at his disposal as Commissioner
of Pensions, he had not appointed a
single negro. will you follow man, >
the speaker said, "who had not the
courage to stand up for his rights wher
he was elected Governor? If III. Clay
Evans had had the nerve of Gov. Tay
lor of Kentucky, and got his gattling
guns and bayonets, he would have held
the office"
Col. Hughes was frequently applaud
ed during his speech by his adherents
and at the conclusion he was' loudly
cheered.
Upon motion, the temporary organiza-
ton of the convention was made perma-
nent.
A number of both the RroWnloW and
Evans men attempted to get the floor,
and Russell Fleming, colored Brown
low adherent, was recognized He

be to govern them as the inhabitants

government to Luzon under Aguinaldo
would be like granting self-government
to an Apache reservation under some
local chief; and this is no more altered
by the fact that the Philippines fought
the Spaniards, than it would be by the
fact that Apaches have long been train

army and have rendered signal service
