The Democratic state convention here
today had more prominent men as dele
gates than any convention OF Dem Jcrats
In Ohio for many years. II was 9TH
erw!se distinguished By the nomination
Of Colonel Kilboume. which was ap-
propriately called one Of spontaneous
combustion" Howells. Hidy. Alshire
and Holman were favorites at great
odds from the start. Young was sprung
as a surprise and nominated over
Smoots, who had been such a tavorite
that the others would not previously en-
ter the race for clerk Of the supreme
court. None Of the delegates outside
Of Cleveland knew Young, and he was
nominated because Cuyahoga wanted
him. Cuyahoga could get anything II
wanted except the head OF the state
ticket after he Johnson amendments
were ingrafted into the Mclean plat
form and that document as amended
was adopted with equanamity
II was currently reported that John
son desired the nomination Of Monnett
as attorney general. and the Mclean
men wanted Monnett defeated. At any
rate the defeat II Monnett was so de-
cislve as to be he feature Of the con-
vtntion. Monnett as attorney general
had brought suit against the Standard
Oh Company and other corporations to
cancel their charters under the anti
trus, laws.
In the alleged stampede for principle
rather than men" The most striking
turn OF the convention was on Bryan.
The most bitter things were said on his
leadership this moraing, when It was
said that his name should not be men
toned and that there should not be any
reference % either " the national plat
forms upon which lie made his cam
paigns At;er the plan had been agreed
on, one OF the twenty-one members Of
that committee offered a minority re-
port reaffirmlng ;he Kansas City plat
form and expressing confidence in Bry-
an. and he resolved only six votes out
Of the $50 delegl.es on his substitute for
the platform preamble.
A few moments after the platform
was adopted one Of these six delegates
called attention to the fact that pic
lures Of other Democrats were displayed
in the hail and none Of Bryan as here
tofore. He started to carry a small
banner with Bryan's picture on II to-
the platform. The aisles were ordered
cleared and the picture did not reach
It's destination. II was trampled under
foot and spoiled during the wild dem-
onstration when Knbourne was escort
ed to the hall.

"You can get back this way" its

The Chinese Cuisine.

Though Chinese cuisine has been
credited with some utterly fabulous
dishes, such as white mice served
alive, which add piquancy by their
squeak as they dive down the gullet,
curiosities in the edible line do form
a considerable list.
Birds nest soup, for instance; a
clear soup made from the refined
gluten with which a certain species
of swallow fasten their nests beneath
the rocks; stewed sea slugs." another
nasty sounding dish. but transcending
in flavor the aldermanic green turtle
fat. There may be, too, on first intro
duction, some prejudice against fried
grasshoppers. But courage in this in
stance is rewarded by n deliciously
crisp, brown mouthful, of a delicate
nutty flavor.
1t Is a fallacy to suppose that pork
forms a constant article of diet in
China. AS a matter of fact. it is too
expensive and is only eaten on high
days and holidays or at restaurants.
Neither do milk, beef or game enter
much into Chinese cookery, the first
two being tabooed on religious grounds.
Dog flesh is eaten in the south but
rarely and only by the poorest Of the
poor.-Black
