fields which stretched out on eithe
side of the railroad we're revela

sheaves showing dark against th,
golden carpet of stubble, and with
the deep green of the corn fields
for a background, made pictures
which were worth remembering
If the farmers from the south
thought of their drowned-out cot

crop, who can blame them il they
framed these beautiful pictures of

RETURNING DELEGATIONS
Most of the delegations which
attended the convention came in
Special cars, the Tammany dele
cation on u special train, and
Louisiana and Mississippi were
exceptions to the rule. Their
delegates struggled IN and left by
sections. In this respect Louis
lana was more noticeable than her
sister state, for the biggest bunch
of her delegates came home to-
gether, via Memphis. There were
in this party Governor A. H.
Longino, Senator H. D. Money,
Judge Il. M. Stephens, Judge E.
D. Sykes, Judge j. H. Wynn,
W. G. George and Messrs, Low
md West.
Senator w. V. Sullivan, with
/. II. Senter and Clarence olvely |
passed through Memphis yester
lay morning, keeping right on.
3. H. Henry got home yesterday |
fternoon. He made the journey |
ia st. Louis.
The Louisiana crowd went out
'y twos and threes, using almost
very road gong out OF Kansas
Jity. Before their departure all
f them expressed themselves as
lore than pleased. National Com
Blanchard, Senator
lcEnery, Judge Blackman, Cap
lin Fitzpatrick, Congressman
'roussard, all were pleased.
Personally the members of the
louisiana delegation were for Hill
or the vice. presidency, but with

IN by far the most available man. ,
hey would not have cared to l
vallow Towne, although it look ,
at one time as if the mantle +
ould fall his way. =
Mr.. Towne is a man of remark =

lends during the convention, and =
i'll undoubtedly do all he can to
lrmonize the relations between. =
u Democrats. popullst and silver '
epublicans. He told your cor y
spondent, Just as his train was 4
llling out for the west, that he !
ould work just as hard as man y

id he was not the least bit disap- /
,inted, but he did not state that i
, had felt little hurt over the )
eech made by Senator Money. J
think the attack made by Sen Y
OF Money was uncalled for" he 3

Senator Teller's presence on 4
e stage, was out of place. we s

Senator Money, who was mem {

ON Mississippi was greatly !

ost enthusiastic convention he |

Senator Money did not hesitate
