\ ready to report in a half horr. and In the

| with brief impromptu speech. W. H. Clark
| Of Crawford Comfy delivered an address

cetved.
| At Sis Chairman D. H. Shields of the
Committee on Address and County Organi-
zation announced that 1t was ready to re-
port, and an expectant hush fell upon the
convention as Mr.. Shields ascended the plat
form to read the report. He prefaced the
reading with the remark that the members
of the committee were in thorough and
| hearty accord on the views which they had
| formulated in the address he was about to
read: that the sentiments contained therein
| expressed the unanimous opinion OF the
committee, and he hoped that they would
| be heartily indorsed not only by the conven-
| ton, but by every true Democrat In the
State.
| This was greeted with tumultuous cheers.
| and as the speaker read the address. which
| appears elsewhere. he was frequently inter-
| rupted by tremendous applause as the dele
| gates voiced their hearty approval OF the
| sentiments expressed.
When he had finished there were wild
| cries for the adoption Of the report from
every section of the hall, and the report
was adopted unanimously amid the greatest
enthusiasm.
Scarcely had the chairman announced the
vote than Ed Harber moved that the con-
vention adjourn sine die. The motion re-
| ceiyed a score of seconds. and was carried
without dissenting voice.
Chairman Evans said after the adjourn
ment that he would probably not appoint
the committee Of five to formulate plan
for the county committee organization for
a day or two. as he desires time to look
over the field and select men In whose
| judgment and ability the interests OF the
organization will be well served.
Many of the delegates left for home on
last nights trains. but some remained un-
til to-day. The lobbies of the Planters and
Laclede last night were thronged with poll.
ticians from the interior OF the STATE ana
| the city, discussing the work Of the con-
vention and congratulating the delegates
on its results.
