The nominations made BY the Demo.
cratic State Convention were all tele-
sraphed to the NEws yesterday. except
the last. The proceedings OF the Con-
vsntion on the last day Of its sitting are
given here in detail. as n matter Of record
for future reference.
The Convention was called to order at
lO:l5 by President Bailey. and the Lit.
tie Girls Band executed a selection OF
operate music in tue style. The new
Opera House was completely allied with
delegates aud spectators, q fair sprink-
ling OF ladies going to make up the sum
total Of the latter. The stage was set
Of to advantage by the young ladies' OF
the Band. who were ~arraigned in a semi
circle to the rear Of the President and
Secretaries. This was decidedly the most
pleasant and effective feature OF the
whole scene. and much Of the harmony
which characterized the Convention was
undoubtedly due to the presence OF the
girl musicians. In the closing moments
Of the session when dissension made its
appearance. and a quarrel became immi-
nsnt over the defeat OF Mr.. Hyde and
the nomination OF Mr. Day. angry men,
bers subdued their passions aud kept
their ~invsctives within bounds, because
they were too much OF gentlemen to in
suit those little girls by the use OF Ian.
guage which would shock their ears.
The engagement Of this Band was u
master stroke Of policy. and 1t would be
we'll II every Stats Convention would
provide a similar means OF keeping its
members within the bounds Of decency
and decorum.
