Mr.. Holland, for the prosecution, will

unfavOrable to Gilligan. The feeling

The National Democratic Convention

The National Democratic Convention.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 23.-An
effort is being made to have William j..
Bryan come to Kansas City, either
during the democratic convention or
Immediately after its close. 1t will be
red hot convention from start to fiG-
ish. There will bs no let up to the en-
thusiasn OF the democrats and what
steam they lack will be supplied by the
free silver republicans, the bi-metsllic
delegates and the shouters OF the mon
etary league. The bi-metalic CONVEX
ton and the free silver convention will
indorse the choice of the democratic
convention for the presidential nomina-
ton. 1t is now believed that Charles
A. Towne, is out of the vice presidential
race. 1t Is also not probable that
Bryan will be nominated before the
platform is adopted. The first dsy's
session will be devoted to orgaDz Og
the convention and to oratory, and the
day will be fitting prelude to the
great demonstration that will be made
on thu streets of the city at night. On
the second day the reports of commit
tees will be heard and the platform
presented. An effort will be made to
sbridge it and the champions of silver
and Of Bryan will rally to its support.
David b. Hill and Senator German will
probably lead the opposion. On the
third day the nominstions will be made.

AS THE object of Mr.. Quay, to de-
tain the convention In Philadelphia one
day longer, for the benefit OF the hotel
keepers Of that city, had been attained,
and as all uncertainty about the nom
ination OF the ticket had been removed,
he withdrew his resolution for reducing
the representation from the South in
future conventions. The Pennsylvania
ex-senator was very successful at Phil
adelphia. He "downed" Mr.. Hanna,
who voted against his admission to the
Senate, and had his own favorite nom'
mated for Vice President.

THE national council of the Junior
Order of United American Mechanics
has suspended all the Virginia lodges
for refusing TO pay the increased per
capita tax. All sorts of taxes are OBJ
iectionable to all sorts of people, but
especially are they 80 when they are
collected for no other apparent pur-
pose than to enable other people TO
live without work. And then, too,
Junior, as we'll as senior, workmen know
that they and their families have ur-
GENT need for all the money they can
get hold of now, and, therefore, have
none to give to other people who are
as we'll to do, and as able to work
for a living, as they are.

Yhe Woman ufffasi ist

A!rs. Carrie, Chapman Gait, who asp!res to the presidency of the National woman Suffrage association, is a New Yorker and almost as domestic as she is clever and progressive. One day some years ago, when the women suffragists were storming tle capitol a Albany in order to change the fifteenth amendment of the constitution to their liking, a young newspaper woman was sent to interview Mrs. Catt. Qncidentally the newspaper woman had been signing equal rights petitions wherever she came across theD-they were scattered all over the town-athough she under 21, and of course couldn't have voted even if the ballot had been granted to her sex.) The young reporter traveled out to Long Island, where Mrs. Catt lived, and was duly impressed by what she saw and heard. She was a violent suffragist when she re- turned. Her story was solemn and eulo- gistic, and her city editor didn't like it. He was no respector of persons and especially of women more strong minded than himself. He liked gayety and fiippancy and fun and he professed to be able 10 find them in the most solemn conclaves of progressive wom- en.
 You've described the house and never said a word about the catnip growing in the garden" he said as he looked over the manuscript, "and you've never mentioned that she purred-but never mind; if you're so much in earnest you needn't change it. I'll make a nice head for it, and she went away pacifed. Her state of mind not exactly pacific the next morning, however when she picked up the paper to find her learned article crowned with the following caption:
