gentlemen Of referendum and initiative
tendencies gathered at Harmonic hall
yesterday afternoon. The morning ses-
sion had been rather peaceful, owing
largely to the efforts of Maj, J. M. Bow
Ter, but the first number of the afternoon
was the report Of the committee on Gre
dentials. which was that since many
members had acted in good faith at the
Ramsey county convention Tuesday
morning and as the convention had been
regular, each of the two contesting dele
cations should be given one-half of the
total vote of the county. The committee
also found that Adolph Paradis and
Peter Marx, leaders of the Paradis fac
ton, were inimicable to the party, and
should therefore be refused seats in the
convention. A warm debate over the re-
port ended in its being adopted by
county vote Of 581 to 113, Hennepin being
the last to come in, and then showing a
divided vote. The discarded ones there
upon withdrew, breathing alliance with
the Republicans and other forms Of ven
geance. They were accompanied by
eleven adherents and two Dakota county
men, but the Murray faction at once fill
ed the places vacated and Ramsey got
its full representation

CLARKSBURG, w. Va, Sept e-This
place had the honor of entertaining the
Democratic presidential candidate for a
few hours today. The county fair of this
(Harrison) county is in progress and Mr.
Bryan was received at the fair ground.
The crowd was large and the enthusiasm
great.
Mr. Bryan had been advertised to speak
at 10 clock, but he did not appear I'M
til II. This delay was due to the fact
that the special train was held FOR an
hour beyond the appointed time at Deer
Park in order to give the distinguished
visitor and his travelling companions an
opportunity to prolong their rest at that
ideal spot The arrival of the train was
greeted with cheers. throngs being pres
ent at the railroad station to grasp the
candidate by the hand and escort him to
the meeting place
The meeting was held in Haymond's
grove, near the fair grounds. The crowd
faced Mr. Bryan from a high hillside
fronting the speakers stand, located at
the foot of the hill. Mr.. Bryan's speech
was an appeal to Republicans to investi-
gate party questions. He thought many
men too much inclined to follow the par
ty platform without giving the subject
any Independent thought Of their own
cation would convince them of the in
sincerity and inconsistency of the Re
publican party" They would find this
to be true on the financial, trust and
military questions.
The meeting closed at IL o'clock and
Mr. Bryan left for Parkersburg, where
he spoke in the afternoon.

this place. He travelled from Deer Park
by the way of Clarksburg and Parkers-
burg today, making three speeches of
length and two or three brief and In
formal talks at such places as St.

greeted at Wheeling by bonfires and the
firing OF rockets in the suburbs, and the
railroad for squares was lined by q
mass of humanity struggling manfully
to get & first glimpse of the candidate
Mr.. Bryan, however, held up well, and
he appeared quite fresh when he ascend
ed the platform at tonight's meeting and
began to address the immense multitude
which had assembled to hear him. In
West Virginia Mr.. Bryan has made all
told six set speeches, a number of brief
er addresses, and has had uniformally
large audiences. At r>the Parkersburg

voted almost exclusively to the question

To this question a voice in the crowd
responded: Mark Hanna
This response elected shout, and Mr..
Bryan repliedI while 1 am not prepar-

the human voice, do think that when
He gets ready to speak to the American
people he will choose some other mouth
piece than Mr.. Hanna"
The meeting here tonight was held on
the wharf The stand was located on the
waters edge from which Bryan spoke,
and his auditors occupied the rising
ground in front of him. Mr.. Bryan spoke
for an hour and three-Quarters, making
this the longest speech he has delivered
during the campaign. At the beginning
of the speech a light rain was falling,
but it did not have the effect of driving
the crowd away.

THE LATE MRS. BROWN.

work ana Character.

Inc women's clubs with which the late
Mrs, Philip II. Brown was most closely
identified, have In contemplation the
adoption OF some memorial TO Mrs. Brown
and her work In behalf OF others. 1t is
thought that this will take this form Of
assistance rendered to some one OF the
associations In which she was interest
ed. The Beecher oiab with which Mrs.
Brown was closely identified, held a
meeting called ~ soon as the news OF her
death was received, and at this gathering
tbs members expressed their grief at
her death ana their appreciation OF hsr
many endearing qualities. At tine time
when she was summoned from home to
go to San Francisco to meet Der son. re-
turning from the Philippines, Mrs.
Brown was greatly Interested In the for
nation OF the CLIFFORD club which was
designed to keep up the study OF law 80
far as 1t relates to the property rights OF
woman and a mothers right to the con-
troll of her children. The members OF
the club, which is not yet fully orga-
nized. will continue II and carry on the
work which Mrs. Brown had planned.
Mrs. Brown was an ex-president Of the
Crockett club and this organization met
Saturday evening at the residence OF
Mrs. McQuillan. Many OF the members
present had been closely associated with
Mrs. Brown in her charity work and
club life and loving and tender tributes
were paid TO her by each OF those present.
Mrs Browns personality left a deep i'm
press upon those who had come into such
oompanionship with her and each
speaker revealed the helpful and uplifting
reflection from this noble life. Her
charities are known to all the oommu-
nity, but the trustfui, hopeful nature.
the steadfast, loyal friendiiness, the pure
spirituality OF her character were best
known and appreciated by those who
walked heart TO heart with her In the
paths she loved so well to tread. Educa-
tion and reform and all that helps to
build noble character, were the strong
est elements In her work for humanity
and love for all, peace for all and the
universal good were her hearts desire.
THESE thoughts were feelingly expressed
by the members OF the club In their re-
marks.
