Steward was called upon and made a speech against woman suffrage which was the best -speech that we have heard in many a day and it was said by many that it would have been a credtt to any congressman whomlght have delivered It. Tho ap plause was gro.it and It took the house several minutes to get down to normal again. Ed. Payne was called upon to deliver a speech in favor of Woman Suffrage but declined. Some of the members who were in favor of Woman Sulfrage then got up and made a motion which was moved and seconded that the Woman Suffrage question be left out of the resolutions, but this was dofeated by a vote ot 2:j for and 28 againft. F. A. Good of Cowlos then took pos session of the tloor aud offered an amendment to the resolution endors ing tho good work of W. J. llryan, which motion was moved aud seconded.

The convention thon adjourned aud everybody felt good the way that the convention wus run, aud it certainly looks like the Democrats wlllcontiuuo in power after tho November electiou. Some of tlio members of tlio con ventlon who were not there at 1:30 accused tho chairman aud secretary of calling tho convention before tho time set, which was not dnuo, and thought thut a steam rollor had been run over them ou the way that the delegates were elected and the resolutions adopt ed. Wo will say to these inon making this accusation that 't'time aud tide waits for no man," and also that trains leave the station ou the time set for departure, und that was the way the convention started in the afternoon, promptly at 1:30. It is better to be early than late, gentlemen. About forty of the Democrats from this city attended the convention. The day was an idoal one for a convention as it was very cool and comfortable.
