WHAT-DEMOCRATS SAY OF IT Interviews With Leaders of the Party at Pertle Springs Conven- tion. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PERTLE SPRINGS, Mo., Aug. 6.—After the close of the State Convention this even- ing representatives of the Post-Dispatch in- terviewed a number of leading Democrats on the work of the Fost:Dispatch in calling the convention and crystallizing sentiment in the party in favor of the free colnage of silver. The interviews follow: Hon. Richard P. Bland sald: The Democracy is without a single organ among the morning newspapers in Missouri, but their cause has been ably championed by the Post-Dispatch. It has been of great as- sistance to the party. It has served as an educator. It has furnished the news and has made itself an indispensable organ to the friends of free silver. It has assisted the Democracy of the Mississippi Valley over many hard places and has done a great work. Without the Post-Dispatch this con- vention could not have been held.” Gov. Wm. J. Stone said: “The convention has been a great success. Its proceedings have been conducted with dignity, firmness and conservatism. A finer body of men has never been assembled in Migsouri. The work accomplished will command general approval. The Post-Dispatch degerves great credit for its splendid work. I doubt if the convention could have been convened except for the fight made by the Post- Dispatch. I hear only words of praise for your paper.“ Judge J. W. Shackelford of Boone County said: [t was the greatest convention ever held in Missourt and one which I believe will prove highly satisfactory to the people of the State. The highest commendation is due the Post-Dispatch for the great work it has done for the cause of free silver. Without its powerful aid the convention could have never been held. The result shows the wonderful influence of that aper throughout the State. Friends of imetallism throughout Missouri are in- debted to the Post-Dispatch and its editor for the valuable aid it has rendered and the able and fearless campaign it has made for a just chuse. The result speaks for itself. e have held a great convention and won a victory for the t cause of silver. Those who expec to hear wild speeches and witness Overt acts were dis- appointed. The business of the convention was done in an 2 dignified and busi- manner. he. resolutions and p were based on common sense and reflected the sentiments of the party: To a very — degree to the counsel of the Post-Dispatch this result ig due. It is truly a great newspaper.’ Marcy K. Brown of Kansas City said: “Free silver gratitude to the Post-Dispatch, which it will 3 to repay. To the 2 fight made by it more than to other influences is due the calling of the State Convention and the achieved to-day for thé cause of true De- mocracy. “Of all the m State the Post- advocated the cause Of the the fight against an & trenched in power. “With a platform terms the time- , mocracy, and with a touch with the of is no — why next cam of the 2 — powerful 2 the vention. ith a that adopted to-day, a man the party Bland ek e “The f “ss - * Democrats owe a debt of . the finest dled in Miggouri on any previous oecasion. There were five circuit judges, several ex- members of Congress, members of the House ahd Senate, bankers, farmers, rail- road men, lawyers and editors wearing dele- gates’ badges. This gives the lie to the reports that the gold bugs delight to circu- late—that our silver men are mostly dead- beats, communists, Socialists, cranks, etc. “Of course a number of men are entitied to great credit for the success of the con- vention, but had it not been for the splendid werk of the Post-Dispatch I feel their noble efforts would have been unavailing, and 1 am almost sure the old committee would have downed us and the silver men of our party would still be clamoring for a con- vention. The work of the Post-Dispatch has endeared it to the g people of Mis- souri and the West, and it would not sur- prise me if its circulation reached the 100,000 mark within less than six months. “The convention was the most successful and significant one in every respect ever held in Missouri. No mistakes were made. Our declaration of principles is so simple and plain that it admits of no misconstruc- tion. The new blood placed upon the committee means a reorganization in ev- ery voting precinct in the State. It means Democracy is ready for the coming con- flict—it means victory. I am proud of the humble part I have taken in this magnifi- cent movement.“ .

You stay at home and watch your husband,” yelled Mrs. Louis Lavat at her daughter Evelyne as a Post-Dispatch reporter strolled into the side yard of St. Ferdinand avenue Wednesday morning. Mrs. Lavat was angry at Evelyne. When the reporter’s query diverted her from the Memphis question she said: Of course she’s married. She daren’t deny it, but she won't tell anything about it.” Then Mise Evelyne, who wore blonde hair and a real an ook, tossed her head petu- lantly and s : “What should I say so for? Do you think I wan’t to lose my job? Miss Evelyne taps a linotype at the Bux- ton & Skinner Printing Co. ‘The establish- ment, it seems, restricts the privilege exclu- sively to single ladies.

In the City Hospital dead-house there re- poses on one of the numerous shelves a corpse labeled Albert Bailey.“ In the di- rectory on the door is another card with the same name. At 3.o’clock Tuesday afternoon Under- taker Harvey M. Alexander, Garrison ave- nue and Olive street, interred in 8S. Peter and Paul's Cemetery a body which he had received from the City Hospital that morn- ing as that of Albert Bailey. The remains were identified as those of Bailey by his former employer at Keene’s livery stable, Vandeventer and Washington avenues, and by the friends of the deceased. Mr. Alexan- der is confident, therefore, that he has buried the right body. If this is the case whose is the body la- beled Bailey at the City Hospital? Right here Undertaker John Sheahan of Harrigan & Sheahan comes to the front. Mr. Sheahan has a lurking suspicion that the oe A interred was that of a man named Miahael O’Brien, for which he sent to the City Hospital early Tuesday morning at the request of Contractor Hogan of Bell avenue.
