Judge Fenner said: Il can say for

pleased at Professor Alderman's accep-
lance. In him we have obtained a man
OF fine talents broad and liberal learning

THE POPULIST NATIONAL CON.
MENTIONS.

1T is not. an unamusing sight-the
two rival Populist National conven-
tions-one at Sioux Falls, the other
at Cincinnati, and both labelled THE
only Populist convention" The Mid
dle-of-the-roader at Cincinnati warns
the public to Beware of Democratic
sideshows," while the Fusion Pops at
Sioux Falls yell back Beware of Re-
publican side-shows."
Thus far honors are even. Now for
the difference. 1t is in favor of the
Middle-of-t he-road show and is thus
described in d press dispatch from
Cincinnati.
One of the most interesting delegates
to this convention is woman. She was
at the DennisCn Hotel this afternoon
and was a striking figure. She carried a
baby in her arms. She was Mrs. Luna
L. Kelli of Hartwell, Neb., the editor
of the Prairie Home, a Populist newspa-
per and an ardent advocate of Popu-
lism She will be the only woman dele
gate in the convention. She demands
declaration in favor of universal suf-
frage. She was in all the discussions in
the corridors Of the Dennison today and
she spoke her sentiments with the as
surance of an old-time politician. Mrs.
Kelli is the wife of a farmer in Ne
braska. The women of Nebraska and
other Western States have insisted that
the Middle Of the Readers shall declare
unreservely for universal suffrage and
Mrs. Keli is here as the representative
OF the women. While Mrs. Kelli was in
the thick of all the discussions she never
for moment forgot the little baby she
carried in her arms. She would button
hole delegate from Texas and earnestly
tell him that the hope of the PopuliSt
party depended upon the women. Mean
time she would steal a gentle motherly
glance at that little baby in her arms,
and no New England mother or any other
mother from any part of the United
States ever manifested a tenderer soic-
itude for her baby than did Mrs. Kelli.
In her talks with the delegates she does
not make the assertion that women are
the superior sex, but it should be added
that no delegate here up to this hour
has had the hardihood even to intimate
to Mrs. Kelli, notwithstanding all her
gentleness and motherly soicitude for
lHaC DaDy, JnaJ men are the superior sex.
She is quite ready to admit that between
the sexes the qualifications and charac-
teristics that go to make good citizens
are about even. Mrs. Kell's husband
is at home, turning out a good crop for
the fall markets. Mrs. Kelli says that
she is here for the purpose of planting
seed which shall, in after generations,
bring greater renown and sturdier cit-
Zenship to the merican nation.
Thus again Butler is beaten. Much
as it wrings our heart to say it, we
are bound to declare that the Gin
cinnati outfit has one on him. a real
live woman delegate, with young
baby in her arms while she works
among the delegates in a hotel lobby
ought to be something to fill the
Midlelof-the-road bosom with JOY.

OF CHOOSING GOOD
MEN FOR LEGISLATURE.

Now that county conventions are
being held all over the State the News
and Observer desires to reiterate its
caution of some weeks ago-that only
the best and strongest men be nomi-
mated for the Legislature. In their
selection this year the Democracy cam
not be too careful, as the following
will show:
During the Republican State con-
vention Chairman Holton was asked:
do you think the Democrats will
carry the Amendments
Yes they've made up their minds
TO do it, and they'll do it if they have
to steal the State"
''Will they elect their ticket?''
''The ticket will 90 with the Amend
ment."
Then what do you hope for?"
'The Legislature. There are many
close counties that we believe we may
be able to carry
This was said, not to a newspaper
man for publication but to a gentle
man who is taking no special interest
in politics, and it gives the real pur-
poses of the Republican party.
And why the Legislature?
For the reason principally that the
Legislature acts as a reviewing board,
to pass upon the action of the State
Board of Elections.
Thus you see, though the Amend
ment be carried by ever so big ma
iority, if the Republicans control the
Legislature enough contests can be
drummed up and enough votes thrown
out to defeat it,
An again, the men selected for
members of the General Assembly
should not only be men Of ability and
character, but they should be men I'M
trammeled by corporation influence
and possessing the full confidence of
their entire people.
These be important matters to
which the Democracy just at this
time cannot give too earnest heed,
hence these words of warning.
