A PARLIAMENTARY sSARL.
At this point, numerous eonhictng resolutions Weio
offered and considerable confusion arose. Among these
resolutions was one by Congressman MeHenry OF Men
tucky complimentary to M Belmont, on the success
with which he had for Il years filed the posuoh oi
Chairman Of the National Executive Committee ana
another by the Hon s. s. Cox of New-York, providing
that the rues of the last National Democratic Conven
ton be considered in force until others are adopted
The Convention seemed lIely, at TINS point 10 scV o
parliamentary snarl, having before 1t several resou
tons and notions all Of which could not De acted upon
al once and from which the Chairman found IL lnpos
w.
way out of the difficulty, and was greeted
With hearty applause He said that it was
irregular for the Convention to do any business until 1t
was known whether all the States were represented
there and one, acting on his suggesuoh lmme-
diatey moved that the roll of the States be called lor
the nomination Of members OF committees on creaen-
tails and permanent organization. This motion was al
once put and all other resolutions and motions which
had been offered were decided to have been out OF
~ no
ble confusion prevailing the hail. and little interest
being manifested in this routine work Few states
were honored with loud cheers, among them virginia,
New-York Maryland, and several others Inc name OF
FitzHugh Lee, who nominated by Virginia 10 serve
on one of the committees, was received with more enhu
sas than that Of anyone else. This work having peeh
nerformed. Mr. Cox OF New-York succeeded in getting
in hts resolution in regard to the rules for the govern
ment of the Convention and it carried almost unan-
imously This action considered by the friends OF
the regular nomination policy to be strong point IN
their interest committee on rules and order OF pus
mess was selected and it probable that the rules OF the
last Convention will govern this during It's enie SEES
sions.
There was little disposition in the Convention to listen
to speech-makng, and an adjournment was carried at
AFTERNOON SESSION
The Convent was rather tardy III coming toSe'her
at the afternoon session, and II was half an hour past
the time which had been fixed before the delegates were
called TO order Gov Hoffman at once called for the
,report of the Committee Credentials The Chairman
of this Committee announced that every State was iuy
represented and that there no contesting dele
gates The chairman OF the Committee on Permanent
Organization then at once recognized, ana re-
ported the name OF ex-senator James r. Dooltue Tor
permanent Chairman. THIS nomination was received
with great applause from all parts of the house, and
seemed to give satisfaction to every delegation present.
one or two other States, which had candidates OF their
own No opposition to the nomination was however,
made and Senator Bayard and Gov. Hoffman at once
escorted Mr. Doolitte TO the chair where he was re-
ceived with another round of applause.
CHARACTER or Mr.. DooLIIILh's sPEECH
Mr. Doolitte's selection probably made az COM
pment to the Liberal Republicans of the country, and
his speech which was of considerable length and livery
progressive in its character devoted mainly to re-
Of the circumstances under which the Liberal Re
publcan cause succeeded in Missouri In 1870 and he's
taken so strong hold the hearts of the tpeople since
the Cincinnati Convention in May last Had the heatbeen
less oppressive Mr. Dootes speech would have been lis
tened TO with great interest AS 1t there was COM
paratively little confusion in the Convention except
when he was constantly interrupted by enthusiastic APP
pause The address will make strong campaign ,docu-
ment and will be read with interest by men OF apares
On assuming the chair Mr.. Dootle invited the Vice
Presidents who had been elected TO take seats
upon the platform, and laughabie scene oc-
CURED as the platform already full and those
who attempted there crowded in front OF the
reporters desks and entirely Distracted their view OF
the Convention. Some Of the correspondents, who did
not feel any great respect for VicePresidents who
stood in their light pelted them with cpl
grams until they finally all went back
to their delegations found seats. During
the last hour Of the afternoon session. nothing but rou
tine business was transacted The customary vote
ferrng all resolutions 10 the Committee on Resolutions,
without reading and without debate was passed before
ambitious delegates had opportunity 10 send to the
chair any of the illusions which had been
prepared 10 spring upon the Convention The members
of the National Committee also chosen, and soon
after O'Clock the Convention adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
