ceeded in, aud after the second ballot, Mr.. J.
M. Patton. Sr., was declared the nominee for

Mr. $ D Denoon here rose and hoped that his
friend who had nominated Judge Crump would
Withdraw that nomination. ''This may be thought
singular Mr.. Chairman but there are reason
in my mind for it; there were a speech delivered
by Judge Crump believe in "A, in reply to one
of Mr.. French of Chesterfield. attacking the
Native American Party. However, Mr.. Presi-
dent, disclaim mputing to Judge Crump the
charge OF being Native American. Such prin-
ciples would kill the Democratic party. |
would like to see that Speech sir, cleared up,
Judge Crump may not entertain such opinions
now; don't know that he do-does" Mr.. APPLE
garth. Mr.. President-whatever Judge Crump's
views were in IA they have nothing to do with
the nomination to night. The Native Ameri-
can Party is dead, buried, past and forgotten, and
Will rise no more forever l go for letting the
dead alone; let the dead hurry the dead. MY
friend, sir. comes here from the toombs with a.
a big shin bone in his hand to bring up a
subject long forgotten; 70 my part, sir, am not
from the toombs not Native American by BIRTH
or i'll prime ipe, but of the prog, essive Ameri
caus.

At the conclusion of Mr.. LIS remarks, several of
the "Old Fogies' present, who perhaps remem-
bered those good old times. when there was no
such thing as ''Young Americanism," blew their
noses with evident emotion, but the Chairman wa 8
impenetrabe aud overruled Mr.. LIS motion as not
being in order.
