At the close of the convention
this committee met, elected Geo.
Hartley of Weiser, as secretary, and
talked over matters relating to the
campaign.
Many who were not delegates at
tended the convention and mani
tested much interest in its proceed
ings
The room where the convention
was held was very nicely decorated
with flags and flowers, and in con
splcuous place were very large por-
traits of Bryan and Stevenson
paintedRy Geo. Meyer. The flowers
were furnished by Mrs, j. H. Bolan
of Council, the only lady delegate,
and several other ladies
Both evenings while the delegates
were there the Bryan and Stevenson
club of Council held meetings to
which everybody was invited Many
speeches were made and a good time
was had. The last evening after the
club meeting, the people of that
place gave social dance in honor of
the visitors, and the occasion was
pleasant one.
The people of Council did them
selves proud in entertaining the
visitors and handling the convention,
and VIM. Black of Hornet Creek,
has the thanks of all who attended
the convention for several fine crates
of fruit furnished the convention.
The convention was one the demo
cracy of Washington county has
reason to be proud of. The repre-
sentation in the convention was six
ty-two and there were only four
proxies. The ticket, from top 10
bottom, is a good clean one, one of
the best ever nominated in Washing
ton county, and 1T will be elected ,by
large majorities. No elector who
has the welfare of this section at
heart can afford to vote against it,
While at Council the department
of the Weiser delegation was good

for the Democrats.

Wellington, Jones and Sample Speak
for the Democrats.
dispatch from Detroit last night says
The feature Of the weather furnished for
the formal opening of the democratic cam
paign in Michigan consisted principally in
pouring rain, but, nevertheless, the big
Light Guard ArmOry was filled to the doors
with an audience which enthusiastically
applauded the utterances of the speakers,
Senator George L. Wellington of Maryland
Mayor Jones of Toledo, Rev. S. w. Sample
Of Minneapolis and Mayor Maybury of De-
troit, democratic candidate for governor
The sentiments naturally expressed by
Golden Rule" Jones, ex-republcan Sem
atOr Wellington from Maryland and the
former republican clergyman were those of
independence of party and fealty to the
principles of Americanism as illustrated in
the preamble to the Constitution and the
Declaration Of Independence.
Mr.. Jones said: at is somewhat strange
that after century of experience as
republic we are again debating the ques-
ton of the right of q people to govern
themselves. / have na fear Of Imperialism,
of our republic being turned into en-
pire Nevertheless. the present party ad-
ministratiOn of this government has taken
the stand for the principle of the right of
government to exist by force. This one
ONtTlOWeTS AL OIneFS, ana IL Is
because of it's vital. Importance that I have
taken my stand in this campaign with the
people who propose to vote for the doctrine
of equality. for the doctrine set forth in
the Declaration of Independence. that all
just governments derive their powers from
the consent of the governed
Senator Wellington declared that there is
no tariff issue in this campaign, since
whichever party prevails In Congress there
will, for the present, be no tariff legisla-
ton He insisted that the gold standard
legislation could not be repealed ait the
coming sessions of Congress, no matter
which party Is successful. Upon what he
termed the great issue, that of our foreign
policy, he quoted Lincolns statement that
1t was impossible for the. nation to exist
half slave and half free, and added that it
Is impossible to govern people successful
ly part free and part subject of a power
which they know nothing of. Senator We'll
lington enthusiastically applauded
when he outlined the stand taken by him
self in the United States Senate against
his party. y

TWO INTERESTING CANNON.
Named After Two Apostles They
Stand in Front of War Department.

Named After Two Apostles They
stand In Front of War Department.
Surrounding that part of the State. War
and Navy Department building occupied
by the War Department are numerous guns
captured from the enemies of the United
States during the various wars in which
this country has been engaged. Among
the collection are two which are of unusual
interest. They belong to q set of four
which were captured from Mexico and were
named for the four erangelists, San Mateo.
San Marco, San Lucas and San Juan. The
San Juan tSt. john gun is now in the
Burchard Library at Fremont, Sandusky
county, Ohio; the San Lucas (St. Luke)
gun is at Governors Island, New York,
and the San Mateo (St. Matthew and San
Marco (St Mark) guns are mounted in front
OF the War Department. They are 27s
inches caliber, and weigh about $50 pounds.
Inc names as we'll as the Spanish coat-of-
arms. were cast upon the guns in relief,
but have been almost obliterated by time
and usage. Very little is known of the
history of these guns. 1t was said in re-
port during the centennial exhibition that
they are called after the twelve
apostles, a relic of the Spanish occupation
OF Louisiana, and probably ceded with that
territory by the French At one time two
of these guns were lost by the sinking of a
barge, but were recovered
1t was the custom In old Spain to name
their cannon. which made it easier to keep
a record of them. The Spanish coat-of-
arms and the monogram of the king were
usually cast on them, but not the name of
the maker. The French and English, how
ever, made it rule to place the date OF
casting and the makers name, well as
the coat-of-arms etc, on each gun In
France and England manufacturers are
held in higher esteem than in Spain.
