-z-- TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
Mr. Stout called for Mr.. Bennett, the tenn
porary Chairman at Woods Theater, but
several persons stated that he was not pres
ent, and a delegate nominated Judge Keys
who was chosen; before the vote was an
nounced, however, several voices cried out
Judge Keys Declines" which cry was
quashed at once by the well-known voice of
the inveterate Captain Glass, who shouted
at the top of his voice, mo sir Judge Keys
don't decline" The result was then declared,
and the Judge came forward, and after some
difficulty, the delegates were seated rs well
as the accommodations of the place could
admit.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
The Committee on Credentials had pre-
| pared report at the Woods Theater Con-
| vention, but were unable to present it, and
the question nov arose, whether it should
| now be considered by the Convention, or O
! new committee appointed.
A delegate moved that the report of the
old committee be adopted as whole. GThis
report, in substance, was published in last
| Wednesdays issue.l
| Another delegate asked division, so that
| each ward be voted on separately. Carried.
| Motions were made to recommit, but were
lost. Mr.. Forrest then moved the previous
| question, which was likewise carried
The First Ward being called, it was an
| nounced as contested. The report of the
| Committee on Credentials, which recon-
mended that the delegation with ]. W. Fitz-
| gerald as its first member, be admitted to
seats in the Convention, was read, and
adopted pearly unanimously. The Second
and Third Wards were then called and no
con test. "a uLr ..-s.,u -r. -
The call Of the Fourth Ward was the signal
for strife. Several members rose to speak,
but Mr.. Forrest insisted that debate was out
| of order, as the call for the previous question
| had been sustained. Mr.. F.!s second said he
only understood the call as referring to the
First Ward. He was not in favor Of the gag
rule generally. He was a contesting dele
gate, and wanted to be heard. A gentleman
from the country desired to hear from each
party, as otherwise he could not vote intel
ligbly. Mr.. Forrest vociferously called for the
question, while his second as pertinacionsly
demanded the right to speak. Every thing
now looked ominous, but little episode oc-
CURED that caused a temporary suspension
Of i'll humor, and partially restored harmony.
The ousted delegates from the First Ward
| still remained in the house, and rural gen.
tleman made motion that they beinvited
to leave, as many were now, and must con-
tinue to be, without seats The gentlemen
protested against this proceeding, when Mr..
Glass announced that he was contestant,
and if beaten, he would walk out without
being invited, but would only go away to
pull off his coat and work for the ticket. An
immense burst of applause succeeded, which
so encouraged others that a general class
meeting followed for some minutes, each con-
testant being determined to prove himself as
I. worthy a Democrat as Mr.. G. The First
Ward delegates then retired, and the subject
Of the previous question was resumed.
Mr.. Burke, who contested Mr.. GLASS; seat
said that he did not want to be condemned
; unheaTd. In the District Convention he had
: been admitted by a nearly unanimous vote
, but the County Committee had reported
against him, and he would, no doubt be ex-
, | PEELED unless he could defend himself. He
was good Democrat, and always worked
3 for the regular ticket. VIZ
f Mr.. Glass-"I am good Democrat, and
never bolted. But Mr.. Burke can't say as
. much, How was it when ] was the reg
ulaTly nominated candidate for Council last

and did your best 10 defeat me" .hss
