 When the roll was called John Kelly and John B. Haskin, of New York. who | with Tammany Hall had been admitted to the Convention but not allowed to take part in the proceedings, attempted to speak. They were not allowed to, and the sergeant-at arms informed the party that they would be removed if they made any disturbance.

 At 1915 the committee on credentials decided by vote of 32 to not to admit Tammany. The four dissenting votes were cast by Arkansas, Colorado, New Jersey and Delaware.

Stevenson took the chair and in his speech declared that Tilden and Hendricks were elected four years ago but deprived of their seats wrongfully. He concluded his address as follows: "The people want a change. They are tired of misrule. They are tired of interference with the popular right of suffrage. They are sickened and disgusted with the military which attempt to coerce them. They are tired of onerous taxation, and all you have to do, my friends, gentlemen of the Demo-
 cratic party, is to nominate two tried,
 enlightened, pure and Inexperienced Demo-
 crats who every inch shall be patriots
 worthy of the support of yourselves, and
 worthy of the support of the country. ! That know you will do. Not attempt
 ing to delay you longer, close with a
 simple appeal to let your nominees de-
 mand your support, and there will be
 triumphal joy from every delegate and
 from every Democrat.
 When the delegates were seated a resolution was sent to the Chair by MT.
