Missourian Resents Insinuation of New York Committeeman. Washington, D. €., Feb. 22.—RBe- fore the balloting for the place of holding the national convention be- gan Committeman Campbell of New York arose and objected to the num- ber of proxies held by Governor Stone of Missouri. That gentleman had been requested to cast the votes of Nevada and South Da- California, kota. Mr. Campbell said: ‘“This gives the Missouri member four votes and is not fair to the committee. It places too much power in the hands of one man.” Governor Stone had been requested to act as proxy for the three mem- bers named, as they were unable to be present. and his action was ad- mitted to be perfectly regular. He resented promptly the insinuation of the New York member that he was attempting to use undue influence in the committee. He said: “I want to say tothe committee that my action is perfectly regular and in order. J want to assure the memberfrom New York that Lam not atiempting any of the disreputable tricks so common in his state, and if he insinuates that 1am trying todo sol will take it as a persenal offense and resent by slap- ping his face for him. I will make it clear to him not only that I am act- ing with regular and due authority, but at the same time I will give him a lesson in politeness and good con- duct. The New York member reply to Governor Stone, and Chair- man Jones ended further discussion made no by rapping for order. He then an- nounced that Governor Stone was acting with perfect propriety and the balloting proceeded. ATHEIST IS VERY BITTER.

Bourke Cockran was the first of the leading gold democrats to announce his intention to support the demo- cratic nominee for president this year. Now former Congressman DeWitt Warner has followed the example set by Cockran. “I expect to support the democrat- ic candidate for president as against no one whose r money popular movement might demand f the democratic platform is sound on what I think the vital the campaign—as | have no doubt it will t from it by immaterial foolishness or issues of shall neither bescared away of his party.
