sense had been shown in burying past
differences and said: ''Let us continue
the good work and go down through
! the line in harmony
The mention of the word thar
mony' was suggestive of a peace con
vention in Europe. To Mr.. Childs it
was like a red rag. Instantly he was
ON his feet with the following speech:
"'There have been several meetings in
this village in the past few weeks,
ostensibIy for harmony. | have not
been invited to any of them. 1t is
late in the day to talk about real har-
mony. These secret caucuses, these
slate caucusses, have been held in the
office of j. G. Ullery (pointing his
finger at Mr.. Ullery), Democrat
whose roof needs stating. Mr.. Ullery
has declared that neither r. :. Childs
nor f. w. Childs nor any member of
the Childs family shall appear in the
state convention -
Amid the cheers and groans that fol
lowed, Mr.. Ullery faced Mr.. Childs
ana exclaimed: THAT is not true. You
| are trying to air your grievances. - to
which Rollin replied: " GU don t want
Your grievances aired
Continuing, in spite Of the cries Of
the chairman that he was out of order
and in spite Of efforts to make him sit
down. Mr.. Childs, who was now thor
oughiv wrought up. asserted: 81 IN

also Withdrew. but Mr.. Lynch prompt
~ reuominatcd him. The chairman in
formed Mr.. Lynch that Mr. Kaine had

voted "no.
For eighth delegate Mr.. Childs nom

DR.. f. Il. Lynch tried several times

was elected.
The calm which had been restored
was not for long, as another outbreak
came in the choice Of the 10th dele
