THE NOMINATION FOR THE vICE-PREsIreScY.
The Convention opened with Il lively CO.,
test over the composition Of the y ltlnn
Executive Committee. Clal'ncey {. Hul
moved that the committee consist of tw
members from each State; upon which NJ
Moore labor rcformc0 demanded franti0lll
that the labor element should be representa-
on the committee.
George Francis Train here jumped TO h
feet and wanted TO know who composed tn
Democratic party: TO which Blanton Dun
can answered that Train had no busincs
here, and was admitted TO the hall only b
| courtesy.
The President ordered Train to sit dow
or he would have him put out.
Dir. Donahlte, Il delegate from Pen nsylvi
nia, here attempted to get the floor, lat Wa
repeatedly ruled out of order, and finally wa
taken off by the police.
Burr's resolution for two members frol
each State on the committee WAS the
adopted.
