A flag of truce up since 2 o'clock; considering proposition for surrendering, now that I have the tewa surrounded onthe north. The lines were completed at 5 p. m. by Gen.

On reassembling the reports of the various committees were re ceived and adopted as reported The temporary organization was made parmanent. The order of business provided, 1st, selection of judicial delegates, 2ad senatorial, 3rd state and 4th congressional. The following resolutions reported and adopted: We, the democratic party of Bates county in convention assembled, renew our allegiance to the princi ples enunciated in the Chicago platform of 1896, and especially the brave and fearless stand on the money question. We renew our fealty to that fear less, gifted and eloquent silver champion, W. J. Bryan and com mend the patriotic motives which prompted him to offer his services to his country in the present war with Spain. We heartily enderse the course of our senators and representatives in congress from this state, and espe- cially our true, loyal and gifted D. A. DeArmond. We enderse the wise and econom.- ical administration of the affairs of Missouri by our democratic officials from the advent of the party into power, and especially do we com- mend the administration of our present governor, Lon V Stephens, in the management of state affairs and deplore the unjust and unseem- ly fight waged on him by some s0- called democratic papers. We further heartily commend the state administration in its recent effort to control the Trusts and Cor- porations of this state, by bringing eM full power of the state to enforce e laws, as demonstrated by the sn suits so ably prosecuted by Attorney General Crow, assisted by our fellow townsman, W. W. Graves. We endorse the course of the chairman of our state committee, Hon Sam B Cook in his manage- ment of the last state campaign and recommend his retention at the head of the state committee. We send greetings to our brave boys at the front now battling to uphold the cause of liberty and teaching tyrants to respect “old glory” and assure them that our hearts are with them in the strife. Hon. T. W. Silvers withdrew his name from further consideration in a graceful little speech in which he explained that he had entered the race late and made a creditable showing. He thanked his support ers, assured the convention that there were no “sore spots’and pledged his unqualified support to Mr. Graves. The following delegation for Hon. W. W.
