SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 70. AT a
quarter past IL O'Clock Jonas II. French,
Chairman Of the State committee, called the
Democratic convention to order and Col.
Coveny, secretary, read the call. While
Tue call was being read j. W. Gambler rose
and addressed the presiding officer, but was
not recognized. He remained standing un-
I'll Col. Coyeny flushed.
As Col. Coyeny paused reading n. A.
Plympton, OF Worcester, rose and addressed
the chair.
Mr.. C"-dler insisted upon his right to %
beard, but Mr.. French decided that Mr..
PIympton had the floor. This was greeted
with Misses in several paris Of the ball, and
for second there was quite commotion.
Mr. Plympton then moved that the officers
OF the State Committee be the temporary
organization OF the convention. This mo.
ton was declared carried, but IL was
doubted and an uproar ensued, which was
promptly checked by Mr.. French, who
called upon Rev. Mr.. Simms 10 offer 4
prayer.
After the announcement of the regu lar
committees, Mr.. Thayer, OF Worcester,
moved the appointment OF q committee to
nominate fifteen members for the State
Central Committee.
Thomas j. Yargsn, OF Boston, cai med
that he had the floor before Mr.. Tha yer,
but Mr. French decided that Mr.. Thsyer
had the floor. tCries Of shame.
After the motion was put the chair recog.
nlzed Mr.. Yargan, who said; "Tbere ex-
lists an idea IN this convention that the state
committee desires to perpetuate itself. The
action Of the presiding officer thus far has
not been 10 accordance with the ususges OF
Democratic conventions. Let US have
committee made by a convention and not
By the committee ITSELF | move that the
delegates froIo each county select one name,
and they shall be a committee to nominate q
state committee
John j. Coffey, OF Boston, seconded The
cut-snd. dried work, and / am opposed TO
the list, with which the convention had no
more to do than had the Republican State
convention. This has been called Buffers
convention, but lei II not be said that any
body but the convention itself runs this con-
yenttan.p
Mr.. Thayer OF Worcester said he ex.
pected this outbreak, but those who fsy-
ored 1t were in the minority and would be
overruled.
Mr., Power, Of Springfield was recog'
uized by 'he Chair, but Coffey insisted on
being heard on the point OF order.
The Chair would not listen to Coffey an
there was q scene Of great confusion. Quiet
having been restored to some extent, Mr..
Power was allowed to speak, and he moved
the previous question.
Mr., Yargan again obtained the floor, but
there were repeated cries OF "Ques-
ton, question:, and the noise became so
deafeni' Z; that Mr.. Yargan could no longer
be heard
j. II. Mellen attempted TO speak. Sew.
eral delegates shook their fists at him, and
he rushed TO the platform and demanded 10
be heard, but was seized by several dele.
gates and forced to take a seat.
Mr.. Thayer's motion was then carried.
Amid great confusion the Committee on
Organization announced Edward Avery az
permanent chairman and j. W, Cayeny
as secretary.
After an address by the chairman nomin-
ations we're declared in order, and Gov.
Butler was declared the choice OF the con
yention nv acclamation,
