Louisville, September 1.-The Sec

morning with an announcement from
,Ls Chair that the Committee on Gre
3.ptisls had failed to agree, and in COZ
<sonence the mob would have to pro
,-ei with its work without knowing
whether it was legitimate body or q
r,li,ical bastard. Somebody then
moved that somebody else be added to
N. Committee on Resolutions, and
.,neb,iv else objected. This started
that girralous old ass Burr off again,
and tor thirty minutes or more we had
- endure his noise. Chauncey said
that this Convention could not and
yogd not recognize the Labor party or
srv other organization. The object OF
this meeting WAS the preservation OF the
,,crei fsbr;c Of our liberties, and hadn'
ANYTHING TO do with labor reform and

Ramon explained that Mr.. Train was
there by his suffrrance only; that he
,B.annn) had given him a ticket Tor
ne sole purpose OF adding to the att
.ractions of the show.
Then the representative of the Sew
rn,rerth District o. Pennsylvania, who
va, little drunker than the rest OF
Them. in-isted numerously and asserted
.re!leEly that he was an unpurchasa
tie Democrat
The chair asked him to sit down,
aql when he didn't, asked the Sergeant
a'-Arns to lead him out by the ear.

got up, brushed few hats from his
ewes, and sad that he was not only an
nnpl-chassble Democrat, but Chairman
OF the Committee on Resolutions. He
.,iitaat he had reso uted all night with
that Communist Cory, and that IN spite
o. all he could do the Communist had
acorporatei the Resolution Of 90 or 9S
re.o1utions in the platform, Judge
James Lyons remarked that he mad a
.,te platform OF his own that he desired

After it was read Simon Cameron g
and played an air or two, great howl
r.s raised, and the Chair announced
lat Charles OCouor, of New Iork,
had been nominated by acclamation.
The announcement was greeted with
hoSls, and number OF antiquated flags
and time-houored tiles we're thrown up.
High above all the rest rose and clrcled
and curvetei that OF Citizen Cory.
At this point somebody suggested
that perhaps OConor hadn't been nom

t. the fact that West Point cadetshlps
