the platform and made brief speech
thanking the convention for the en-
dorsement. He was given big ova-
tion.
That his candidacy was immensely
popular from the very start there
can be no doubt. 1t is admitted to-
day on all sides that he is the strong
est and ablest man the democrats of
Colorado could have endorsed for the
high office of United States senator.
Patterson is Defeated.
Early in the evening, following
long hours of arguments on the ma
jority and minority reports of the
committee on credentials, and after
Charles j. Hughes had spoken for the
majority report and Alva Adams for
the minority report, the convention,
by a majority of 80 votes, determ-
ined that the so-called Speer, or reg
ular, democratic delegation from the
city and county of Denver was the
legal and regular delegation, and
that the Patterson delegation had no
right to seats in the convention.
This termination of the. long
drawn-out fight was received with
satisfaction by the delegates.
1t was stated this morning by his
managers that Mr.. Patterson would
support the ticket that would be
nominated in a most enthusiastic
manner.
That the Patterson men will name
number of the candidates was made
plain today by the leaders on both
sides who wanted to bring about har-
mony and to obey the wishes of Will
liam j. Bryan to unite on a strong,
aggressive ticket and present a solid
front to the republicans.
Cheered Bryan's Letter.
The letter of William ]. Bryan,
read to the convention last night,
was given the most respectful atten-
ton by the delegates and its senti-
ments were heartily cheered Mr.
Bryan simply urged that every effort
be made to bring about an harmoni-
Gus agreement, the convention to
choose the wisest course in order to
bring about such an agreement.
The report sent out by some repub-
lican papers to the effect that the let
ter was ignored by the convention is
false and was absolutely groundless
Late in the evening the convention
adjourned until 10 am. today.

WALL STREET MORALITY.

New York Globe.
The inference is difficult to avoid
that in Wall street as elsewhere mere
gambling is risky business-as risky
for the big fellow as for the little. Rep
rehensible as Wall street methods may
be. even there. In the wickedest part
of the much-abused thoroughfare. 1t
Isn't safe to assume that the laws Of
honesty and conservatism have been
repealed. We may be comforted by
noting that the boldest gamblers of
the last ten days did not get away
with the goods. Moreover, If the pub.
lie is right in deeming purchasers of
stock to be virtuous while only those
who sell Short" are bad, 1t is worth
while to note that this year the fail.
ures have been of bear houses. Thus
there are shreds of consolation in even
the latest Wall street spasm.

4 QUESTION OF DRESS.

New York Tribune
Judge Landis of Lancaster, Pa, has
handed down an opinion In the case OF
the commonwealth against the board
OF school directors of Mount Joy town
ship, who have been prosecuted for
violation of what is commonly known
as the '.garb" law The decision is In
favor of the school directors, and finds
the law unconstitutional on the ground
that it is contrary to the bill of rights.
The suit was the outcome Of the en-
ployment by the school directors Of q
Miss Reisser as teacher In one oi

She is a member of the Mennonite
church, and wore the habit of that
body in the school room. Demands
were made that she be either made
to disregard that form of dress or be
removed The directors refused tt
interfere, and they were prosecuted
under the ''garb" act and indicted. A
demurrer was taken. resulting in the
above decision.

CAMPAIGN GIFTS SHY,
BOTH PARTIES AGREE
(By Walter Wellman.)

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Both of the
national campaign committees find 1t
hard work to raise money this year.
Both find it necessary to cut their
cloth accordingly and plan for relative
ly small expenditures. The Democrats
are virtually living from hand to
mouth" They started in with about
100000, unexpended balance of en-
terprising Denver 100000 convention
fund Up to date they have taken in
an additional sum of about $4,000,
the aggregate of large number OF
small subscriptions, raised chiefly by
Democratic newspapers in the south
and west
The program which the Democratic
managers have laid out calls for a to-
tai expenditure of about $4,000 but
they have no idea where the money is
coming from. One thing they will
not be able to do, and that is to send
money to the doubtful states. 1t is
probable neither committee will do
this. In the old days Indiana and all
the other debatable states made heavy
drafts upon the national committees.
That part of the game is virtually play.
ed out II the local managers in a
state feel the sore need of money
this year the probabilities are they
Will have to find 1t at home or 90
without.
The Republican managers are hav.
ing their troubles, too. They have in
hand a small but comfortable sum,
contributed chiefly by Charles P. Taft
and few other individuals. But
they have In pocket or in sight much
less than usual at this stage Of the
campaign, and like their rivals of the
other committee do not know where
the bulk of the fund which they need
Is to come from. OF course, the cor
porations are not subscribing this year.
Ihey can't, because 1t is forbidden
by law. Not many would put I'D more
than very meager sums, even If the
law did not stand in the way. Indi
yiduals are slow in coming to the front
with their offerings, and great efforts
are being made by the managers of
both parties to tap the bank accounts
OF their friends and well wishers. For
this purpose Advisory committees"
are being formed. 1t is an honor. of
course, to serve as an adviser" to
Candidate Taft or Bryan or to Chair.
man Hitchcock or Mack, but the duties
consist chiefly of offering suggestions
In the form of cheques and in hustling
around to get such suggestions from
others. Up to date no great rush to
serve on these committees has been
observed among either Republicans or
Democrats. The latter are not sur.
prised. They always have trouble in
raising money when Bryan is the can.
didate. The only exception to this
rule In recent years was In 1904. when
Tom Ryan, August Belmont and their
friends easily raised $1,750, 900 to elect
Judge Parker, whom they had been
permitted to nominate on the theory
that they know how to put him in
the White house.

WISE AND IAUKEA.

The leading split-ticket advocate
appears to be laboring under the de-
fusion that the intelligent voters of
the City and County of Oahu have
lost all sense of the ridiculous.
Otherwise it would be impossible
for supporter Of Iaukea's candidacy
for Sheriff to point with scorn to the
party experiences Mr.. Wise passed
through before he really landed
where he belonged.
John Wise's partizan record Is
most loyal of the loyal when compar-
ed with Candidate laukea, whose po-
litical record is laughing stock, and
whose latest Chameleonic transfer to
the Independent shade is so ridicu-
lous as to excite more of sympathy
than respect.
1t will be necessary for the enemies
of Wise to get something more Sc
rious than comparison with Iaukea
in order to reduce his assured plur-
ality for the Office of Sheriff. Such a
comparison also makes it obvious
that the opponents of the Republican
party will do well to follow the Re-
publican plan of eliminating person.
alities and making the contest on po-
litical principle.
John Wise is all right, and the
election of the straight Republican
ticket is what is now needed TO
strengthen the cause of progressive
government, good government, in Ha
wall.

Doors and boxes opened and slam

were knocked and shaken.
Half Il dozen white traders left

to sec for themselves. They were
soon convinced, for rocks and cocoa

extent that they retired In undlgni-

came.
As no one would live in the house
1t was decided TO burn 1t. That was
the end of It.
