The Committee retired and after brief
consultation returned and reported In favor
of VIM. B. B. Cooper as chairman, not only
Committee. The report was accepted and
the Committee discharged, and Mr.. Cooper
was conducted to the chair In assuming
the duties of presiding officer, Mr.. Cooper
said that he did not have high opinion of
the Committee's intelligence, Judging from
it's choice, but he had never been known to

4 Mr.. Rowbotham arose and moved that
two members be appointed on the Commit
tee on Resolutions III addition to the three
already appointed. No Committee on
Resolutions had been appointed or ought
of up to this time, and it seemed to simply
exist in Mr.. R g Imagination, but we sup-
pose it was all right.
The Committee on Resolutions was,
after short delay, named as follows: Jno.
s. Row otham, John NJ. Lewis, John Nc.
Shay, A. Fl. Weld, and Or j. B. Welch.
Mr.. Barney Rosenbiatt interrupted and
said that be held it to be the next duty of
the Convention to elect vice presidents and
secretaries. Barney was choked off, how
ever, by The chairman, who for the first
time made the statement that Messrs. Kent
and ClAvey who hsd been chosen temporary
secretaries were to be considered perma>
nent secretaries. He made this, statement
for Mr.. Rossnblatt's inform alton, as all
others appeared to have laid the wires be-
foreband and understood it all.
The Committee on Resolutions having re-
ported, Mr.. A. Fl. Weld read aplatform of
principles, which was literally applauded.
Mr.. Lewis moved that tho Convention 60
into nomination for Governor. 1t was
adopted, and Mr.. Lewis then said, pro-
pose the name of man who is not stran-
ger to the poor pc opele, and his nameis q suf-
flcient guarantee to his worth. His name is

i A letter from Mr.. Stewart was then read
In which he had promised to accept the
nomination for Governor If 1t was rendered

On molten OF Mr.. Rowbotham the nomi-
nation was made unanimous, the whole
body rising as man. as
The nomination of Representative K
Congress was then entered into, and DR.. j
lB. Welch nominated John G.. Jackson, aDC
John McSorley nominated Samuel B.

n A letter was then read from Mr.. jackson
part of which was published In yesterdays
HERALD, and which was literally applaud
ed.
Mr.. Jackson was nominated by acclima
tion, on motion of Mr.. Rosenblatt.
Mr.. Connell moved that committee oil
three be appointed to assist the President o
1.-THE body In appointing aState Central Com
mttee, and the committee was appointed
as follows: John P. Connell, Jacob Satterth
waite, and John M. Lewis.
Mr.. RoseDblatt now arose with pream
BILE and resolution which he commenced tc
read. He brought hornets nest abou
his ears, and many members said that l
was urcalled for and useless. Mr.. McSor
ley and one or two others supported Mr.
Rosenblatt's action, but before he could ge
far motion to adjourn sine die was pu
and carried, and Barney was left LOOKING
about in silent amazement.
"I suppose" said he, GO that three cheers
for the ticket will not be out of order," and
, three cheers were given with will, aftel
which the crowd dispersed with the Cit,
Hall bell ringing in honor of the .cket.
