TOWARD ROLL CALL.

Governor Hadley, of Missouri,
comes to the platform at Roots re-
quest and is we'll received. He Of
fers a resolution to the effect that
none of the wicked IS shall vote on

Wadsworth raises the point of or
der that Root had already ruled
against Hadleys motion He ac-
cused Hadley of an indirect attempt
to fix rules for the convention be-
fore the committee on rules has it's

tons were probably arranged in

Root discusses the matter most
mildly and quietly. 1t is his inten-
ton to keep all things smooth and
let a sleeping Moose lie. He says
the question is so important that
he overrules Wadsworth's point OF
order. and will entertain Hadley's
motion which means that roll call.
Watson of Indiana comes ont
with a new light suit in place of
his vine colored statesman's suit.
He moves to lay Hadley's resolu-
ton on the table.

ering all the distance possible Late
that night they camped at the water
hole. sleeping as best they could,
scourged by the chill wind which
swept over them and dashed grit into
exposed faces. With the first gray OF
dawn they swung stiffened forms into
the saddles and rode on. straight as
the crow flies, for the Salt Fork. They
attained that stream at shutdown, gray
with sand dust. their faces streaked
from perspiration. feeling as though
the sun rays had burned their brains,
with horses fairly Keeling under them.
According to Keith's calculation this
cattle-ford must be fully ten miles be-
low where the cabin sought was stu
ated; two hours rest, with water and
food, would put both horses and men
again in condition. and the travelling
was easier along the bank of the
Fork. With this in mind, cinches wer1
loosened the animals turned out %

began their advance through the dark
ness. moving cautiously over the I'M

bright desert stars cleaning down up
on them from the cloudless sky over

less than had been anticipated, and
