The Hon. A. T. Walling was made temporary
chairman. He addressed the convention in his
usual style but there was little new interesting
in his speech. 1t was, however. received with con-
siderable applause. The usual committees were
then appoint( I. and the convention took recess
until O'clock.
At the afternoon session, after some little delay
the chairman of the Committee Permanent Or
ganization submitted a report, naming General
Durbn Ward as president. General Ward was es-
eored to the stage aud received with considerable
applause In bis address to the convention he said

The concluding portion of General Wards speech
yasIstened to with marked attention Nominations
being in order after the Presidents address, four
candidates were named for Secretary of State. The
choice of the convention fell upon David L. Paige,
Of Summit County.
After this nomination, committee appointed to
invite Governor Bishop and Senator Thurman TO the
convention entered the hall and escorted those gen.
tlemen to the platform. Loud calls were made for
Mr. Thurman who was received with deafening APP
pause. He made few remarks, saying that he had
never before in his life met so harmonious cOnven-
ton or one in which everything pointed so strongly
toward victory. He hoped, God willing, to have
the pleasure Of doing all that he could toward the
uecess of the ticket.
Governor Bishop was then called to the front. As
he arose some members Of the Hamilton County DEL
egation commenced Kissing From other portions of
AZ and criae az

element The Governor commenced 10 speak, tell
ing the crowd how grateful he felt for the courtesy
extended to him, aud quoting one Of Mr.. Humans
expressions, said: CAS- my friend-as my friend,
Senator" Hesitsting again and getting decid-
edly in the bog, he 6Oundered around for full min
ute when he repeated: As my friend. Senator
Morton, says ~ The yelling, the kissing and
uproar which followed is iDdescnbable, cries of put
him out" coming from various portions of the house
and some from tie platform. Some Of the delegates
rushed 10 where Mr.. Thurman was sitting, pushed
his head back and looked him in the face TO satisfy
themselves as 10 his identity. The Governor finally
exfricated himself from the blunder and took bis
seat.
The nominations for Supreme Conrt Judge were
then voted upon, the choice falling upon Judge
A. T. Hume, of Butler County. For member of
The Board OF Public works there were eight candi-
dates The convention up to this time had been a
model for good order, but now the true Democratic
spirit burst out and for moro than an hour little
If anything could be done. Delegates were contn-

their voices to the president. Quiet was finally re-
stored, and the voting resulted in the nomination
