This was the first intimation the Convention had of
the existence Of any violence disorder Of con-
fusion such to interrupt the progress of its business
We do not hesitate to pronounce the assertion false The
charge libel the character Of the Convention,
and Of the city in which it assembled 1t equal
y an insult to those who made it and TO those from whom
it emanated who must have known that they would have
found protection at the hands of the majority, and the
large and respectable audience in attendance against any
violence threatened or intended. No menace of that
character had been made. The pretence the last
excuse OF small body of delegates and others to bring
about secession from the Convention and its falsy
and righteousness the conclusive evidences Of the alb
of all just and reasonable grounds in the action Of
the majority for dissent arrangement.
Up to the time that this announcement made there
had been in truth division in the Convention. The
two delegates named chairmen appointed with
out dissenting votes, and had co-operated together
throughout the proceedings. The two teers and the
two secretaries unanimously appointed on the nomina-
ton Of the two chairmen had acted together with entire
good feeling in periecng the list Of delegates Ninety
eight uncontested delegates had presented their creden
tials, and been enrolled members.
Convention had thus been formed whose right and
duty it was to choose chairman and proceed to pass
upon the contested seatsa body whose known respeca
by and character for rmness and justice and whose
nearly equal division among what had been the former
sections of the party sufficient guaranty of the
mpartiay and integrity of their decisions and Of their
disposition and ability to maintain order and repress yo
lence in the body of which they were mem.
bers Upon the vote for adjournment there was mo-
menary disagreement but this removed by the
declaration Of the charmen that the motion
carried No question to candidates or measures
had been raised and the rights of delegate or claim
ant of seat had been dsregarded in the slightest de-
gree preudced. Nothing had arisen to inspire doubt
of the fidelity Of any member of the Convention to the
terms upon which the organization of the united Demo-
carey had been formed in l949 and upon which, in the
succeeding years, it had been consolidated.
The Convention thus fairly constituted then proceed
ed to eject John B. Skinner, of Wyoming temporary
chairman who received sixtyfou of the votes of the
following uncontested delegates whose names had been
duly entered upon roll as such at the forenoon ses
sion Of the Convention to wit.

Sutton united in the regular Cnyeption
by consent, the latter east the vote OF the district.
1t will thus appear that Mr.. Skinner was duly elected
temporary chairman by decided majority of the uncon
tested delegates of the Conventions and that the subse

dent and the ticket headed by Robert Kelly for Comm

which Mr.. Grant was chairman. There thirty
delegates present whose seats WERE there every
to believe, wrongully contested with view to ultimate
secession making the whole number of delegates regular
ly elected and acting together nneh leaving twenty
nine seceders out Of the full number.
The refusal, hereinbefore stated Of minority of
delegates to return to the Convention after under
circumstances revealing much bad faith and such fall
sity of preence was the contamination Of conspiracy
long formed to break down the Democratic party in the
State and to reinst the dynasty of Sewardsm and bv
