Whea the roll of states was called for
committees, as briefly referred to in our
| telegraphic report yesterday, the attempts
recognition were greeted with violent
disapprobation, cries of "Put EN- out, "
etc., and they were compelled to subside.
Pennsylvania representatives on the
several committees are as follows: On
credentials: Gen. James B. Reilly, of
Schuylkill on resolutions: Lewis C..
Cassidy, of Philadelphia.
The Credentials Committee.
credentials met and organized by the elec-
ton of J. NJ. b. Young, of Georgia. as
chairman, and A. WOltner, of Oregon, as
secretary.
John Kelly and his men met with the
committee, but were requested to with
| draw.
A delegate fxom Arkansas objected to
Smith NJ. Weed, of New York, sitting rs
| a member, inasmuch as his own seat was
contested. The chairman ruled the OBJ
lection out of order as there was no notice
of contest before the committee. n long
time was spent in fixing the length Oftime
for argument. 1t was finally resolved to
give each side an hour and a-half to pre-
| sent their case. The committee then ad-
| jOurned to meet at o'clock.
On motion to give each side in the New
York contest only an hour to present the
case the committee was a tie but the vote
was not considered to have any significance.
The committee reassembled at the Grand
hotel. at 7:3O p. m., and entered upon the
consideration of New York contest. The
half hour allowed for present action of the
case of Tammany contestants was Occu-
pied by Judge George Comstock, Amasa
J. Parker, Mr. Mack Of Alabama, George
Miller and John Kelley.
The anti-Tammany case was presented
by Gov. Walker and George NJ. Bee.
Lester B. Faulkner, Rufus Pcchan, John
r. Fellows and J. Thomas Sprigss, all
Tammany asked was that it's representative
be allowed a representation in the cOnven-
ton with the delegates, and this they asked
in the name of harmony in the party in
New York, stating that were it refused it
would endanger the ticket in that state,
and the Democratic party was not in pO-
sition to lose one chance.
The sitting delegates replied that the
admission of Tammany would lose rs many
tOCtS lOT Vic DCIuCCkdCN do
could bring it. At II o'clock the commit
tee closed its doors and went into secret
session in consideration of the case. Before
doing so a committeeman asked Kelly
| whether if his delegation was admitted lie
would pledge himself to support the nom-
inee of the convention whoever he might
be, saying that his vote on the contest
would be influenced by Kelly's answer.
Kelly replied that speaking freely and
frankly for himself alone he would say that
if admitted to the convention and Samuel
J. Tilden were nominated, lie would not
and could not support him. If any other
man were nominated he would work his
best for the nominee of the convention.
Judge Comstock replied to the same
question that he would support the nomi-
nee of the convention unless he was muir
derer, thief or felon. Patrick Gowan,
of Saratoga, Tammany contestant stated
that he would feel inhonor bound if ad-
mitted to participate in the convention to
support its nominees.
Tammany Ruled Out.
At 1915 the committee, by a vote of 80
to 4, Arkansas, Colorado, New Jersey and
Delaware voting no, voted in favor of
allowing the sitting delegates from New
York to retain their seats.
Committee on Resolutions.
The committee on resolutions did not
reassemble until late in the evening, and
then organized by the election OF Hon.
Perry Watson as chairman and John Z.
Irish, of Iowa, as secretary. There was a
full attendance. Miss Susan Anthony, Mrs.
Merriweather and other representatives Of
the woman's suffrage association were al
lowed to present their case and to make
arguments of considerable length.
The representatives of the different dele
cations then submitted the resolutions
which they desired incorporated in the
platform, and one or more were submitted
from most of the states. They were all re-
ferred to subcommittee consisting of
Messrs. Watterson, chairman Wills, of
Connecticut Barksdale, of Mississippi,
Myers, of Oregon Fuller, of Illinois Ire
land, of Texas Irish, of Iowa Cassidy, of
Pennsylvania, and Howell, of Georgia.
The committee then adjourned until to-
morrow morning and the subcommittee
went to work.
Permanent Organization.

ton resolved unanimously to report in
favor of Senator John w. Stevenson, of
Kentucky, for chairman, and the retention
of the secretaries, reading clerks and SER
geant-at-arms of the temporary organiza-
ton. Pennsylvania has Senator Ermen-
trout, of Berks, as one of the vice presi-
dents with secretary not yet named. The

admission of two delegates from the Dis
trict Of Columbia and two delegates from
each of the territories to have the right to
participate in debate and every right and
privilege enjoyed by the delegates of the

The Theft of the Presidency.
Extract From Judge Hoadley's Speech to the
Convention.
Four years ago the Democratic party
in convention assembled at St. Louis an
nounced to the country it's platform and
named as it's candidates two of the fore
most statesmen of the nation, both then
and now worthy of the most enthusiastic
political devotion and the most ardent
private friendship, and Samuel J. Tilden
[cheers] and Thomas A. Hendricks were
elected president and vice president of the
United States-elected as fairly as George
Washington or Jas. Monroe. That they were
not inaugurated, that the chief magistrate
of this nation has for more than three
years been one whom the people and cleo
tors rejected, that in the executive depart
ment government by the people has ceased
since March 4, 1877. A living monument
seen of all men and to be remembered in
all generations of the fraud of the Repub-
lican party, of its inidelity to Republican
principles, of its willingness to sacrifice the
right of popular election-the vital
principle of the republic rather
