SCENES in the national democratic
convention in Chicago yesterday prove
conclusively that Mr.. w. J. Bryan is
still held in great esteem by many of the
rank and file of the party, and that while
nearly three fourths of the delegates
voted him down on certain occasions,
the vast throngs of spectators manifested
their loyalty early and often. Mr. Bryan
was the idol of the whole hall, except
that space where sat the delegates. The
morning session showed that the galleries
were still true to him, and in the after
noon their demonstration were even more
enthusiastic. A fever of enthusiasm for
Mr.. Bryan had carried the galleries to
hysteria and never did his wonderful
personal charm appeal more forcibly'
His voice, strong, rich and clear like
some splendid musical instrument, rang
through the vast hall, where no other
man could make himself heard. And the
fact that so many delegates voted for HIM
shows how strong isstill his hold on
their affections. But the order had been
given early in the day that the party
must defeat him, and il was done.

FRIDAY EVENING. JULY s. 1904

AMoNa the many incidents in connec-
tion with the national democratic con-
vention in session in st. Louis yesterday
was the laconic prayer of Archbishop
Glennon at the opening ofthe convention.
II would barely fill two inches OF space
in this column, but 1t contained all that
was necessary and was to the point. The
archbishop evidently had for his motto
"multum in parvo," and when he closed
the assembly applauded his manifestation
of good sense and judgment. The wisdom
of extenuated invocations on any occasion
is often questioned, aud that such are out
of place in political convention should
be apparent. The men who gather on
such occasions have their souls charged
with every thing else than spirituality,
aud long prayers send their minds wan
dering like the FOOLS eyes to the reno
test corners of the earth. During recon-
struction days black spirits and white
were mingling in ward meeting in an
isolated quarter of this city. There
we're divisions, splits and dissensions
among the gathering, and each of the as
sembly had good cause to suspect the
political honesty ofevery one else. A sa-
BILE individual was called upon to lead
in prayer. He begun hisinvOcation thus;
90 Lord, we have assembled tonight for
the purpose of worsbipping TheeT -
about as far from the intention ofthat
crowd as anything possibly could have
been-and spun his prayer out to great
proportions. Archbishop Glennon Is
evidently a Judge of human nature and
realized that political convention had
assembled for other purposes than devo-
tion and made his prayer suitable for
the occasion.

for six months because they imperson-
ated President Raymond and Miss Anna
A. Fisher, the latter dean Of women at
the university, in the freshman parade
before commencement. The man who
impersonated Miss Fisher wore blonde
wig and open work stockings and the
makeup initiating the president was
equally ludicrous and, it is considered by
the faculty, undignifed.

Mr.. CHAMP CLARK, of Missouri, the
permanent chairman of the national
democratic convention, is one Of the
most effective speakers in the democratic
party and a man of great charm of man
ner and personality. Heis eloquent and

atuhis best and republican methods were
handled without gloves. Every word
he uttered was pointed and his portrait
ure of the present administration and the

The DEMOCRATS at st. Louis are
transactiug the business they were dele
gated to accomplish with careful regard
for the rights Of minorities, and with a
desire to bring about unity and good
feeling. At this writing there seems to
be no doubt that Judge Parker will be
nominated for President today, and that
a satisfactory platform will be adopted.
With a return to its long approved and
historic policies, the democratic party
will deserve to regain its control of the

Pugh bore down on the man. but an
instant later felt the bandits muscles
relax, and Immediately loosened his
hold, knowing he was badly wounded
AS light was struck, the officer, who
kept hold of one arm. felt a tremor,
and as he turned to raise the man in
the bed Gingles began gasping. Five
minutes later he was dead.
1t has been just three years since
the chase after Jack Gingles and four
brothers was taken up in earnest For
year past the pursuit has been close
and unremitting and has resulted in
two of the Gingles brothers being sent
to the pententiary on charges of rob-
berry and counterfeiting, the capture
of another brother, who is in Jail at
Yakima. and the death of Jack Gingles.
It is soon expected another brother
will be under arrest, and pal. as one
of a trio Of burglars, is also in jail
From the moment the door was bro.
ken in up to his death the bandit utter
ed no word. Awakened from sleep and
with the dim light only to show him
what had happened. he was in posses
sion of his senses instantly, and the
only thing that saved one or more
wounds for the officers was the fact
that Gingles shot from below, while
laying on his back or side. The bullets
went over the heads Of the deputies
and entered the Ceiling.
The entire affair did not consume
over fve minutes from the time the
officers reached the cabin door until
Gingles was dead.
An examination at the cabin reveal
ed that Gingles was prepared for a
deadly fight. He had received letter
from certain persons warning him that
the officers were close on his trail and
advising him to get out of the country.
This he had arranged TO do as soon
as he had corded the wood he cut for
Brown.
That he was aware Of his danger was
shown by his buying quantity of am
munition and having his rife and re-
volver ready at hand. Alongside Of the
bed, or trunk. in the cabin was Win
chester 5000 containing nine cart
ridges. Around his waist, underneath
his nightshirt and over his under
clothing, was strapped cartridge belt
llled with rifle and revolver cartridges
and in the holster. which evidently was
strapped across his stomach handy to
reach, was long 32 ealiber Colts on
Al frame.
Gingles is said to have been So years
of age. He was five feet nine or 10
inches in height, with dark hair and q
light brown moustache, thin featured.
with heavy, coarse black eyebrows, yet
withal fairly good looking and respect
able in appearance.
For Is years past the Gingles broth
ers have been source of terror in
parts Of Washington and Oregon,
where they have long been known as
bad men, ready to steal or shoot at
every opportunity.

Sheriff Grant and his deputy came to
Spokane few days ago and, in com.
pany with deputies detailed by Sheriff
Doust, ransacked Hillyard and vicinity
for the outlaw. their information locat.

Word was received that Gingles was
out at Foothill. and in the evening
Deputy Sheriffs Doak and Mcneil fol-
lowed the clew to that neighborhood.
There they found the man had been
seen, and he was soon located in q
cabin on the edge Of the woods.
Word was sent back to the city and
Sheriff Doust and Deputy Pugh went
out without Sherin Grant, who was fol-
lowing trail at Hillyard.
With the four officers at the cabin
was Al Kronquist, a sawmill man who
carried the message to the city. The
posse Of five remained on guard all
night, and at O'Clock in the morning
made preparations to surprise Gingles,
whom they looked upon as desperate
man.
Sheriff Doust and Mr.. KronQuist sta
toned themselves at the rear of the
cabin ready to intercept Gingles should
he make a dash for liberty. Deputies

cabin door, which they reached with
