Two delegates failed to vote. When
the result was announced the ex-
haustcd throng which had waited up
all night to listen to the nomination of
Bryan by Ignatius j. Dunn tried to
repeat the "canned cheers" but 1T was
IL feeble effort.
The prediction that johnson and
Gray would not go before the conyen-
ton was shattered when Winfield Scott
Hammond of minnesota put the name
of the Western governor before the
convention and Irving r. Handy did
the same for Judge George Gray of

tonight in Hamomnd. There promises
to be great rivalry between the two
organizations in the getting of new
members.

Mr.. Bryan we know pretty well from
past campaigns. He, at least, will be
in deadly earnest and will undoubtedly
make some phrases. What will prob

New York, July 9.-Members of the
political party known as the socialist
labor party are today shocked and
angered. Last night the executive
committee received a telegram from

cline the honor of leading the party"

capital out of his position" Preston
is serving a twenty five year sentence
in the Nevada state prison for killing
a restaurant keeper in a labor argu-

telegram of refusal said:

Where Is Their Prosperity?

Mondays Ledger stated that at least
200, 900 men are out of employment in
Philadelphia. They want work not
charity, to keep the women and chill
dren from starving.
Why don't they open the mills, not
the minis. Where is the gold stand
ard? Where is the sound money? What
is protective tariff for if not to give men
steady employment, high wades and a
full dinner pail? Did not Philadelphians
vote for all these.
In the words of Elijah "Call We on
the name of your gods. Cry aloud"
Gold standard, sound money, prOtec-
tive tariff, open the mill, four
more years of the full dinner
pail. Are the great political gods
dead in Philadelphia?

Trenton, April S.-The legislative
session is drawing rapidly to its con-
clusion, and this is indicated by the
great amount of work disposed OF by
both houses early this week. 1t Is ex-
pected at this writing that the end OF
the present week will witness the clos
ing scenes of the legislature.
The civil service bill was finally beat
en- in the house late yesterday after.
noon after much time had been ex-
pended in amending it. Mr.. Sullivan,
the Democratic minority leader, failed
to get enough votes to put in it the
elective feature for the commissioners.
On third reading opposition developed
to it from Camden, Mr.. Gibbs saying,
"Mr. Speaker, the Hahn investigation
showed that the greatest evils were
discovered in bipartisan commissions,
and as this is a bipartisan commission
/ cannot support it,"
Mercer, except Thompson, Cumber-
land, Burlington and Atlantic, Joined
with the Democrats in voting against
the measure, so that only twenty-e1ght
votes, or three short Of a majority,
were mustered for it. Mr.. Pierce OF
Union, sponsor for the bill, may make
an effort to change this result, but an
analysis of the vote shows that just
enough men voted against 1t to defeat
any further attempt to revive the prop
osition. The politicians on both sides,
it is reported, are against the bill, and
that, it is said, is the reason for its
death.
The following bills were introduced
