ROAR Of APPLAUSE FOR BECkHAM,
Instantly there was a roar Of applause
and delegates and spectators springing
upon their chairs to get a better view Of
the young Governor of Kentucky, waved
their hats and handkerchiefs frantically.
The greeting was a fitting counterpart
to the reception given to Governor Tay-
Tor, of Kentucky, in Philadelphia. When

reception as enthusiastic as any extended

NO MAGIC IN DEWET'S NAME.

The first mention of Dewey's name since
the opening Of the convention, was made
by Mr.. Dockery while discussing the
Philippine question, but the name Of the
famous admiral was received with only a
ripple of applause. He closed his re
marks with the assurances of Democratic
success, and the celebration of the centen-
rial of Jctferson's nomination next No
Nember.
At the conclusion of the speech Of Mr..
famous admiral was received without a
Dockery, Mayor D. S. Rose, Of Milwaukee,
was called to the platform to address the
convention. He made q fine impression
instantly. Attired in a black sack suit
and standing easily and speaking fluently
he stirred the audience. His voice was
clear and ringing and penetrated to the
uttermost parts of the hall. Speaking of
Wisconsin, he said that although it had
given a majority against Mr.. Bryan in
1886, it could be brought this year into
the Democratic column by a proper plat
form and a suitable running mate for Mr..
Bryan. He said the Democracy OF the
United tates was in the saddle to fight
for the principles enunciated by Thomas
Jefferson who, in the present day was per-
sonified by William ]. Bryan.
REMEMBER THE GERMAN VOTE.
Mayor Rose made a strong appeal to the
convention to remember the great army
of German voters throughout the United
States. Those voters, he declared, held
the balance Of power between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties.
eve believe that we can secure their
cooperation" he said with carnestness,
and this convention ought to hold out
to them every inducement to stand by
US
The light of the approaching campaign
was to be made, he maintained, east of
the Mississippi River and north Of the
Ohio, and he warned the convention that
unless the Democratic party could carry
some of these States victory would
scarcely be possible. This statement was
received with cheers from not only the
audience but from the delegates.
"Hill," HILL came the cry again as
fIr. Rose concluded, but the New Yorker
was not present and the bands broke out
with the "Star Spangled Banner"
The patriotic strains had no sooner sub
sided than another burst of shouts for
Hill passed over the assemblage.
Both Chairman Richardson and Ser
geant-at-Arms Martin moved up and
down the front of the platform, gesticu-
lating wildly and making pantomine APP
reals for order. When the Hill demon

He said only a few words and then per

stand in whispered conference with the
chairman, the audience called wildly f0l
the leader of the Old Bay State while an
other element continued the demonstra-
ton for Hill.

THE BENEFIT OF
THESE SERVICES.

The protracted services which have
been in progress at the Methodist church
for two weeks. conducted by Rev. Jno.
M. Grove, OF Lexington, closed Sunday
night with twelve additions to the
church. The services of baptism and
reception into fellowship were observed
that night with large audience IN at
tendance.
Brother Groves labors here have been
much appreciated by church goers of all
denominations. His sermons were full
Of i5kic, force and true religion. He APP
pealed to the intellect aud reason rather
than to the emotione, and made religion
the result of the highest principles OF
human life in accord With the law and
love of the Almighty God. The meas
ure OF good effected by this high plane
OF preaching cannot be reckoned. The
seed OF good grain scattered in the hearts
of the thoughtful in these past two
weeks, nourished and cherished by the
warmth OF honest endeavor, will spring
up in time to good and plenteous har-
vest of consecrated toilers in the vine-
yard of the Lord.
In accordance with his usual custom,
Mr.. Grove accepted no remuneration
for his time and labor, other than the
proceeds OF lecture delivered by him
at the Methodist church Monday night.
His discourse on "The Tell-Tale Tick Of
Time" was heard by large audience.
This lecture has been heard in many
cities and by numerous people and has
never failed to receive the reward Of
praise it so justly deserves. Mr.. Groves
fights OF oratory, bis painstaking and
discriminating use of words, his fit and
iorceful illustrations and, more than all
the deep thought and truth that under
lie his every address, M AXE him the ora
tor, the student, the philosopher and
preacher that ne is.
