The Convention.

Delegate Convention has been held
and is a great thing of the past
It's actions will enter into the
future plans and purposes of the
party. A large attendance for a
mere delegate convention shows
great and deep-seated interest.
Everybody had say. Even some
Republicans, who see the hand
writing on the wall, for that party,
had a voice. Democracy means
liberty everywhere. The selection
of Hon. I'll. r. Howard for chair
man was felicitous. The choice of
j. B. Tippett and DIR. d. A. Sayre
for Secretaries was in accord with
the spirit that prevailed with all.
There is no use in splitting hairs
in a convention. The thing to do
is to go for the meat there is in it.
The question of instructions soon
came up. A resolution to instruct
was offered and then substitute
not to instruct for anyone was Of
fered and the latter called forth
many speeches. Hon. r. Wiley,
Hon. VIM. Duffy. Prof. Seth Tho
mas, Robt. Conley, Esq, James
Brown, Esq, Hon. p. O. Eastman,
Hon. O. S. P. Edwards, Hon. O. b.
Hogg, Capt. w. j. Keister, Jos.
Windon, Esq, and others, spoke
Hon. v. A. Lewis then asked per
mission to speak. He was followed
by Hon. Jas. B. Menager. The
proposition to instruct for some
body ard hence everybody, pre-
vailed by fractional vote. The
first instructions put through was
for Hon. John w. English for Su-
preme Judge, and FL. e Spilman
for Delegate to the Kansas City
Convention. During the discus
sion of the Substitute not to in
struot, Mr.. Menager made the SON
sible remarks he always utters, to
the effect that the convention
should not instruct, but that if it
did, that it should instruct for only
one. An illustration of his propo-
sition that he used will not be soon
forgotten when he said: "That ev-
erybody knows that Mr.. Lewis and
came from the Republican party
and if this Convention should in
struct for either of us solely the
Democracy of Mason county would
stand to it Loyalty and steadily
The party could trust either of us
truly, but when the convention
had thus honored one of us and
some Democrat then asked for III
struotions for John w. English
or Chas. e. Hogg for Supreme
Judge, and told of their time-hon-
ored services to the party, could
either of us say that such return
should not be made?"
After the resolution instructing
for Judge English had passed, Mr..
Menager then withdrew and the
convention instructed for Virgil
A. Lewis for Governor. Mr.. Lewis
made grateful and handsome ao-
acknowledgement of the honor con-
ferred on him and amid great en-
thusiasm the convention adjourned.

The absence of news from the
seat of war is encouraging to every
one. The British take hope from
the failure of Roberts to report any
recent disastrous battle, while the
friends of the Beers relying upon
the correctness of former reports
from Boer sources feel certain that
these lasts reports are authentic,
and correct. The lack of denial on
the part of Roberts, and the lack of
confirmation from other sources,
leaves the truth of the last battle
yet in doubt.

To get some light on the present
drift of voters the Indianapolis
News, an Independent Republican
paper that supported Mckinley
four years ago and is now against
him on Imperialism, has made a
canvass of eight towns in different
parts of Indiana. In the eight
towns 715 men were questioned, of
whom 1872 had supported Bryan in
1896, and 373 Mckinley. Ninety
two per cent. of the Bryan voters
of four years ago will vote for him
this year, 3 per cent. will vote for
Mckinley, and the rest are doubt
full. Only SO per cent. of those
who supported Mckinley before
committing themselves to him again,
4 per cent. are for Bryan and the
remainder, about an eighth of the
whole number, are doubtful. The
tendency among the Gold Demo
Gratis is toward Bryan. The trust
issue, the poll showed, operates
against the Republicans SO far as
it outs any figure, some working
mon who voted for Mckinley four
years ago are turning against him
