Harris Helps Atwood.
The action of John Atwood in an
attempt to get the resolution COM
mitteeship from Senator Harris is a
surprise to those who are, familiar
with the last Hutchinson convention.
At the convention Atwood was can
didate for national committeeman. He
was all but beaten by w. +. Sapp, the
argument being used against him be-
ing that he had not earnestly sup
ported Senator Harris for governor
in Leavenworth county. Just before
the balloting begun Senator Harris
took the platform and said that the
report about Atwood was untrue. This
turned the tide and Atwood was
chosen national committeeman.

MEMORIAL RESOLUTION.
Which Parker Will Offer if Given the
Opportunity.

Denver. Col, July Judge Alton
b. Parker, of New York, has COM
pleted his redraft of the Cleveland
memorial resolution which he will Of
fer in the convention if recognized for
that purpose. Judge Parker was not
sanguine that his resolution would go
before the convention it now being
understood that the active Bryan
workers would offer resolution of
their own. 1t was in compliance with
the terms of the statement he made
upon the arrival in Denver, that he
would make any changes that seemed
desirable in the resolution that Judge
Parker prepared the new draft, which
is as follows:
BE it resolved, that before under
taking the important work confront
ing US, we, the representatives of the
Democratic party in national conven-
ton assembled, record our profound
grief at the great loss sustained by the
country, and civilization in the death
of Grover Cleveland.
I'VE honor him as a true statesman,
who kept inviolate the faith, be-
queathed by Thomas Jefferson to this
time honored organization of the peo-
pie We recall with grateful appre-
citation the signal services he render
ed in maintaining jealousy the just
distribution of powers guaranteed by
the constitution to the executive, leg
islative and judicial department of our
government; in insisting that no
greater burdens be imposed upon the
people by taxation than is necessary
to administer the government econo-
mically; in striking at the root of the
growing evils of special privilege and
trust monopoly by demanding tariff
reduction, in making practical appli-
cation of the principle of the civil
service reform under the motto
Public office is a pubic trust
I'VE revere him as patriot who
never failed to denounce wrong and
uphold right wherever found whose
courage was unmistakable, whose in
tegrity was unquesticned. whose ad-
herence to his high ideals could not
be shaken.
I'VE deplore his death as that of
the first citizen of the United States
the pre-eminent embodiment of the
political and social truths, that from
unselfish service comes the noblest
power; that the power of influence is
vastly greater than the might of
authority.
FINALLY we command to American
youths the study of this most strik-
reverence won by true character
through sturdy adherence to undying
principles; and, we hereby direct the
officers of this convention to transmit
by telegraph to Mrs. Cleveland, in
Princeton, N. J., this expression of our
sorrow and our pride.
1--WE further request the Democratic
members of the senate and the house
of representatives to take steps to in
sure the erection in Washington at the
earliest day possible of an adequate
national monument to commemorate
the services of Grover Cleveland.
sit is still further resolved that in
| respect for the memory of this great
Democratic statesman and patriot this
convention shall Immediately stand

Pepperell also circulated the tip

preferred Atwood. 1t was this con-

that as the delegation at Hutchinson

Senator Harris also has a suggestion

Senator Harris will also introduce

This is the first lot that has been re-
ceived from any of the state institu-
tons since the government commenced
the clearing of the federal prisoners
now confined in state institutions.
To avoid escapes on the trip the Off
Gals took particular pains in Stacking
the men. They were locked together in
pairs, besides being handcuffed, and
shackled to a large log chain running
the full length of the car.
The crew arrived in time to partake
of the elaborate dinner that had been
prepared for the holiday, and after the
arrivals got their fill, the marshal and
his deputies sat down in the dining
hall
DO they feed the convicts as well as
that all the time UP here?" remarked
one of the officers, as he arose from
the table picking his teeth in a salts
fed manner.
Each took their turn in compliment
ing Warden McClaughry on the cleanli-
ness of the dining room. and all were
satisfied that this will be, when finish
ed. one of the finest penal institutions
in the world.
After the new prisoners were fed,
they were taken to the laundry where
they were given bath and a change of
clothing.
There are only six white prisoners
in the crowd. the rest of them being
negroes, of which all of whom are serv-
ing terms of over ten years. In the lot
there were IL who were convicted of

The most Important case in the num-
Der was that of James Watson, an ex-
treasurer of the District of Columbia
who was convicted on the charge Of
embezzlement, and sentenced to ten
years. Watson is a young man 80 years
of age, and was very prominent in
Washington before his trouble. He has
served two years of his sentence.
When the prisoners started unload
ing. they appeared to be some military
band. that had come to give a concert.
The first 20 that stepped off the train
carried musical instruments. consisting
of guitars. mandolins, comets, and
various other instruments which go to
make up a first-class orchestra.
As an inducement to get the prisoners
to work hard and steady during their
