stand in opposition to Protection, Mr.. Warren
declared his unequivOoal hostility to the financial
policy of an overwhelming majority of his DemO-

to in apology for the attempt to repeal the re-
sumption clause. 1t was opposed by every Massa-
chusetts Democrat, and would be to the end The
act of 1875, except in its promise to resume, was
valueless The Senate which originated the act had
done nothing to render it effective, and had thus
confessed its incompetence to deawih the problem.
Having thus shown how wide is the gulf
between the Eastern and tho Western De-
.mocracy, and having virtually repudiated the
compromise policy which Mr.. Tlden has
sanctioned in his letter of acceptance, Mr..
Warren touched bottom the constitutional
amendments, and closed with a eulogy of the Demo-
cratic candidates and high-colored anticIpations
of the golden which would be ushered in by their
election. The address was very long, and was rap
turously received by the party. From first to last
there was no suggestion in regard to the contest be-
tween Adams and CASTOR. At the close of the
speech the Democratic instinct to make big noise
found vent. An enthusiastic delegate proposed
three cheers for Tden, and the delegates rose and
gave them with will. rounding them off with tigers

by the delegates 1t served to pave the way for the
compromise, and took the edge from the surprise
which in store for the convention. stratum OF
routine business was next struck. The Committee
on Permanent Organization reported long list OF
officers and series of motions in regard 20 the
lection of the State Committee, which ended in
brisk debate and small parliamentary tangle. The
convention finally found It's way out of blind alley
by authorizing the State Committee to hold over
until Jan. / and ordering the election of member
in each Senatorial district for service next year. AT
12:15 p. IN. recess was ordered.

greeted with immense applause. After Gen. Whit
