The World puts up plea for the

How newG 1t puts one in mind of
the school master who closed an
address to his scholars on the evils
of tobacco by asking all those who
did not use tobacco to raise their
hands. Among the hands raised
was that OF one boy who VIGOROUSLY
chewed tobacco and the master
made further inquiry. "Why, don't
you use tobacco" "No, | quit. F"
when did you quit?" Last
night" was the answer and the
school master had to be content.
'We are republicans" say the newly
converted ''but we have never yet
voted the republican ticket" and
with that, backed up by an oath on
Sept. 18th, you will have to be
content.

Santiago, Chile, Aug. 21.-Only now
can the seriousness of the catastrophe
begin to be appreciated. The greater
part of the modern houses here are
unsafe for habitation and the authori-
ties have organized a special corps to
pull down the tottering buildings. In

Santiago resembles a camp. The
public squares and the principal ave-
nues are crowded with people sleeping
in the open. All kinds of carriages
and carts have been requisitioned to
sleep In or even under them.
Large parties of convicts who es-
capped from the prisons have been
committing robberies and other crimes
at Valparaiso, Casa Blanca and Vina
del Mar, but the majority of them
have been captured and summarily
dealt with. Upwards Of fifty have
been publicly shot and this severe &C
ton upon the part of the authorities
is exercising salutary effect on the
convicts who are still at large.

The above ticket was nominated by
the Democratic state convention In
this city.
BY a vote Of 1,038 to $40 the con-
vention placed upon the table the re-
quest of William j. Bryan for the
resignation of Roger c. Sullivan from
the national committee Despite the
fact that Mr.. Bryan had declared that
he did not wish to be endorsed unless
Sullivan was repudiated, the conven-
ton declared him to be the one and
only man capable of leading the Dem
ocratic party to victory in 1908.
The endorsement of Bryan and the
tabling Of the motion calling for the
resignation of Sullivan came at the
close of most exciting session of the
convention, in which there were sew
eral fights and throughout which con-
fusion reigned supreme. The commit
tee on resolutions declined to report
plank calling for the resignation of
Sullivan and the debate followed upon
motion made In the convention by
Judge Owen Thompson of Jackson

It had been agreed that each side
should have forty-flve minutes In
which to present its side OF the case
and Judge Thompson was the first to
advocate the cause Of Mr.. Bryan. He
allowed his feelings to carry him
somewhat to an extreme and aroused
the hostility Of Sullivan's friends by

dwelt upon the last Democratic con-
vention at Springfield. He strobe up

Sullivan, speaking in his own be-
half, declared that the ear of Mr. Bry-
an had been poisoned against him and
that the demand for his resignation
sprang from his personal enemies.
Great feeling was displayed on both
sides during the debate and at times
personalities of a disagreeable char
acter were made by various speakers.
The end came on a motion made by
ex-Congressman Kern of Belleville
that the request for the resignation of
Sullivan be laid on the table.
Feeling during the roll call on this
proposition ran very high. When all
the difficulties had been Strengthened
