HOW IT WAS DONE. Amidst uproar from the throats of a thousand excited men and the Gin of a wind storm that came down upon the capitol from the Callaway hills was William J. Stone named fer govenor by the Missouri demo- crats. No such exciting scene has ever before been beheld in the state’s po- litical history. Neither have demo- crats anywhere ever fought to so bitter affinish to drop immediately after the fight was won into so hap- py and brotherly reuniou. The struggle over the chosing of William J. Stone and the love feast which followed it will long be re- membered in Missouri. The menu from the Callaway started the Stone stampede and a wild stampede it was. The deadlock of Tuesday night continued through the earlier morning session today.
