H. | Phelps of 12th district. who was here | to day, was inretrogated as to the truth of the rumors that the late! mecting of the state central commit-| tee at St. Louis was culled in the} interest of Gov. Francis’ senatorial | aspirations. He said: | “As I understood the election of | Mr. Hicklin to fill the vacaucy frou the Fifth district has no siguificance | so far as the senatorial question wa The choice of Mr. Hick | not mentioned. | stood | concerned. jin for senator was As to how the committee between Senator Vest and Governur \ Francis for senator, I do not know, | in fact Ido not know whether or not Gov. Francis will be a candidate | for senator. A majority of the com mittee favored his nomination for governor, and at that time it was un derstood to be a Francis committee but his candidacy for the senate has never been mentioned in the commit- tee, and I have no means of telling how any member stood I do not see how the state committee could exercise any influence on the senato- rial question, as its term expires with the meeting of the next state convention, which will be held long before any of the members of the legislature are nominated. I am unable to give an opinion of any value as to who will be elected sec | retary of the committee. It is the determination of the cominittee to find an active, effi demecrat, who will give his time to} his work. I hope when the selection is made it cannot be said that the} secretary belougs to any faction. I have given the senatorial question | no consideration, but I think the state committee should so the campaign as to give us a solid delegation in the next congress, aud leave to the legislature the selection of a senator without any attempt on the part of the committee to imflu- effort of the committee in that direction wll like- ly be resented 23 importune at least The defeat of the party last year, stead of discouraging the party. strengthened it. and it is now thor as) working | ent, manage ence the action.

St. Louis, Nov. 28.—The delegates to the silver convention filed into the convention hall slowly this committee on resolutions was still engaged in the work of revision. Chairmah Warner, in calling the convention together, stated that the Grant’s second term, and she was the general's favorite sister. She told the congregation on Sun- day evening that after her own con- version in 1861 she became convine- ed that it was her especial duty to win her brotker's soul to God. By her prayers and her influence she did everything in her power to that end from that time on. At about the time of Gen. Grant’s first inaugu ration she believed her object almost gained. He was particularly im- pressed with the weight of respons‘e bility that had come upon him, and the passage in the Scriptures which hislips touched when taking the oath of office made a deep impres- sion on his mind. During his first term Mrs. Kraemer was much in his company atthe White house, and he often discussed with deep feeling the subject that was nearest the sis- ter’s heart. During his second term his sister was abroad with her hus- band, and they kept up a regular correspondence, largely upon relig- ious subjects. When the general was taken sick Mr. and Mrs. Kraemer were still abroad. Reports of his condition was cabled almost daly. When it became serious her husband was Doniphan, of order of business would begin with the report of the committee on reso- lutions, but that any other busiuess could be taken up while awaiting the pleasure of the committee. A resolution was offered by Mr. Fitch, of Nevada, providing for the appointment of a national silver cemmittee which should have the power to call anotner national silver convention and provide for the elec- tion of delegates and that the nation- al silver committee should be em- powered to provide for the organi- zation of state and national silver leagues for the promotion of the objects of this convention. It was adopted. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE NAMED. The following were appointed as the committee; Alabama, Alonzo Ir- win, of Selma; Arkansas, John D. Fletcher, of Little Rock; Arazona, W. J.

Mr. Bland announced that the —- from Iowa (Mr. Moore) esired that his report, presented last, be printed as part of the pro- convention, and that he would offer no further oppo sition to the adoption of the majori- ty report. He did this in the inter- est of harmony. ; The report of the committee on resolutions was then adopted by a vote of 135 to 7. \ , Press. | politician. tor leave his hotel in ithe morning i: | start would be j always in a hurry. ‘ret would siop him and he would ‘be in every place of business or sa- loon en the two blocks.

It was Elder Buzzell who called on worthy deacon to open ameeting with prayer, says the Lewiston (Me) Journal, and was surprised when the good man begun his petition with: ‘“O thou great and insignifi- cant God.” “Omnipotent, brother; Omnipotent God,” horrified pastor. “Hush!” ejaculated the surprised supplicant. ‘What's that you say.” The preacher repeated the correc- tion, whereupon the deacon contin- ued his prayer to a great length, and concluded as follows: “Finally, Lord, bless our edicated parson. Stuff him with religion as well as with words; break him of the habit or fault-findin’, if possible, and at the ‘leventh hour gather him with the saints to thy kingdom.” Elder Bussell, who was fond of telling the story, always ended by declaring that it was his first and last attempt at correcting the speech of his bretheren. you meen whispered the An Absolute Cure.
