The CHAIR stated that it was unable without

The CHAIR said that the names on the list were
not Objectionable to him, and In view of the fact
that this was one OF the most important Conven-

sired three or four additional names to be added.

Mr.. J. X. Tarbox resumed his remarks, which were
interrupted by the arrival OF the Liberal Republic

work together, and thought it would be unwise

for the democratic party to hold itself aloof from
the other party, because 1t would result

firmly united, and he hoped no action Of this Con

George Sennott OF Boston, infused little
life into the proceedings, which ha, begun to flag,
by saying:-"Mr. President-The other Convention
In the Hall Is about to execute great thing, and
do not like to see the democratic party second in
ANYTHING: therefore, as have often done before,
am about to do something which have no doubt
will be considered unwise by many, and with full
sense OF my responsibility will move that this
Convention now nominate by reclamation, for Gov

have prevailed, but the stentoran voice
