men.
Ex-Governor W. T. Thornton was
elected temporary chairman and VI.

made characteristic Democratic
stump speech but failed to entnuse
the fifty-four. He told of the corrup-
ton rampant in the Republican party,
but that the cream of that party 1ad
rebelled and is fighting the skinned
milk, and that it is the duty of the
Democrats to unite with the cream.

Afternoon Session.
1t was fifty minutes after the time
set when the convention was called to
this afternoon. Brief resolutions were
sixtythree persons were in the hall,
and fourteen of these filed out when
the Republicans were asked to leave
so that the Democrats might caucus
behind closed DOORS There was the
same lack of enthusiasm noticeable
as at the morning session. The tenn
porary organization was made per-
manent. The committee on creden-
tials read off q list of delegates, most
OF whom, however, answered only by
proxy. The committee on resolutions
reported that it had no report for the
present. The slate was taken UP in
caucus, which was secret, as it wasn't
any of the public's business anyway.

Democrats resolved itself into open
