by the democrats yesterday afternoon
and John p Hopkins was reelected
chairman of the state committee after
a bitter contest with Carter II. Har-
rison of Chicago The election of
Hopkins was the only fight in the con-
vention but it was stirring enough to
make up for the tameness in other
proceedings.

Hopkins and Harrison. They INDUCED
in acrimonious quarrels in the hotel
during the morning. Later the Harri-
sOnites beat Hopkins in the district

go in his stead The Harrison forces
were jubilant, claiming Hopkins was
beaten beyond all redemption, but the
committee by the majority of three
recommended Hopkins selection. A
minority report favOring Harrison was
made. and the fight was carried to the
floor Of the convention. The struggle
produced wild excitement Impas-
stoned speeches were made in favor
of both representatives and adherents
of both men CheCred or jecred aC-
cording to their approval or dislike
of the speakers attitude. Every ora
tor was received with wild applause
and tumultuous boots He lacked
nothing either way. The delegates at
times were frantic and highly personal
criticisms were frequently engaged in.

tty report and adopted the majority,
S62 to 397.

IBY TELEGRAPH TRIBUSEl
Boston Aug 12-No change in the line up
of the United States Supreme Court on the ques-

here as a result of the appointment of OllVer
Wendell Holmes to that court. Like Justice
Gray, Justice Holmes will be disposed to let
the United States follow the lines which
have been laid down for the government under
the Mckinley and Roosevelt administrations
Justice Holmes Is known to favor the present
policy, although he has not publicly expressed
his views the subject at length, and could
not be induced to talk to-day, on the ground
that his appointment has not yet been confirmed
by the Senate.
Justice Holmes has steadily grown in the re-
gard of the lawyers Of the State. who express
satisfaction at the news of his appointment.
Moreover his appointment pleases the labor
element OF the Bay State account OF his
many impartial rulings in matters affecting la
Uor and his evident fairness in decisions Mas
sachusetts has never had a Chief Justice who
would not have been deemed fit in legal knowl-
edge and character for place in the United

erninently fitted for this place in many ways
His opinions have been marked by more literary
style and lucidity than have been usual in that
field. Comment from all over the State tonight
expresses mingled satisfaction and appreciation
Of the honor done to Massachusetts IN the Sc
