y Philadelphia, June 1S.-The fight in
the Missouri delegation for national
committeeman from that state wound
up,,ins love feast. The climax was.
reached, when ]. A. Akin, the Missouri
state chairman, who led the faction
opposed to Richard c.. Kerens, shook
hands with the latter amid the cheers
OF the whole delegation. The recon-
Citation was brought about in
speech by Charles g. Benton, who
asked the two men to come together In
the interest of harmony and for the
success of the national ticket In Mis-
souri, in the coming election. Several
other speeches were made and the
delegation avs organized without any
friction whatever. When COMMITTEES
man Kerens was unanimously elected
everyone Iii the room stood up and
cheered. ID. Fl. Houser was elected
chairman of the delegation.
There is, "a hot fight on in the ILL
nois delegation regarding the selection
Of national committeeman. The fac
tons are divided on the lines that sep
arated the party in the recent guber-
material fight in that state. The
anti-Tanner men, who are headed by
Greame Stewart of Chicago, are in ia
vor of the choice of Mr.. Stewart as
member of the national committee,
and the Tanner faction is fercely op-
posed to him. The Tanner people
have no man whom they have as yet
placed in opposition to Mr.. Stewart,
but they have decided to oppose the
choice of the latter with all the
strength in their power. There Is a
general opinion among the delegates
that John NJ. Smyth of Chicago could
be elected over Mr.. Stewart il he will
take the position, but Mr.. Smyth has
SO far declined to accept.
Backing Mr.. Stewart are the forces
that were for Reeves and Carter in the
last state convention, and they claim
that as things now stand they have
sufficient votes to land Mr.. Stewart on
the national committee. The Tanner
people say that hey can beat Stewart
any time they decide on their man to
beat him with.
A hot fight developed in the caucus
of the Indiana delegation over the DO
sition of national committeeman. Har-
ny New of indianapolis is claimed by
his friends to have n majority of the
delegation, and to be certain of cleo
ton, but the friends of Harry Milligan,
his opponent, say that 1t Is no sure
thing for Mr.. New, and they have been
putting up a very hard fight.

tion is the better part of valor." II
was in the month OF Juue, and com.
pany of the national guard, of which
Hyacinthe was sergeant, was en-.
gaging a body Of insurgents behind a
barricade at the other end of short
street. One OF the insurgents, in
particular, from a corner of the barri.
cade was making remarkably effective
practice on the asssilants. AZ that
moment mp came a general.

mus, Chamber mp on top OF the barri-
cade; then, when our friend nj the
other end OF the stree. shows himself

him down. Up with you, sergeant"
Beg your pardon, general, but,
perhaps, you see, an insiguiiican, un-
commissioned officer like myself may
have no attraction for him. But a
handsome, distinguished man like
you, in that stylish and becoming
