dressed the presiding officer, but was not
recognized. He remained standing until
Col. Coveny finished. As Col. Coveny
ceased reading N. A. Plympton Of Wor-
cester rose and addressed the chair. Chan
dler insisted on his right to be heard, but
French decided that Plympton had the
floor. This was greeted with misses in
several parts Of the hall. For a second
there was quite q commotion. P~lympton
moved that the officers of the State Con-
vention be temporarily the organization of
the convention. This motion was declared
carried, but it was doubted. and an up
roar ensued. which was promptly checked
by French, who called upon Rev. Mr..
Slmms to offer q prayer. At its conclu-
sion French spoke at some length on
national affairs, reviewed the recent ad-
dress Of the Republican State Convention;
referred to the ADMINISTRATION of Gov.
Butler in the highest terms, detailing the
important events that have occurred dur
ing the past year, and predicted a great
victory for the Democratic party through
out the country.
. On conclusion Of French's speech there
was generous applause.

pointment of . committee to nominate
Is members of a Central Committee.

of '.Shamel'1
After the motion was put, the Chair
recognized Gargen. who said: There exists
in this Convention an idea that the State
Committee desires to perpetuate itself.
The action of the presiding officers thus
far has not been in accordance with the
usage of Democratic Conventions. Let us
have the committee made by the conven-
ton, and N by the committee itself. I
nov that the delegates from each county
select one man, and they shall be q COM
mittee to nominate the State Committee"
John J. Coffey of Boston seconded the
motion and said: Il am opposed to this
cut.and-dried work, and opposed that
with which the convention bad no more to
do than had the Republican State Conven-
ton. This has been called a Butler Con-
v~ention, but let it not be said that any
body but the convention itself runs this
convention"
Thayer Of Worcester said he expected
this outbreak, but those who favored it
were in the minority, and would be over
ruled.
The power Of Springfield was recognized
BY the Chair, but Coffey insisted ON being
heard on his point Of order.
The Chair would not listen to Coffey.
There was . scene Of great confusion.

became 80 deafeniDg he could no longer be
heard.

eral delegates shook their fists at him, and
he rushed to the platform and demanded
to be heard, but was seized by several and
forced to take his seat.

ported Edward Avery for permanent
Chairman and J. W. Coveny for Secretary.

publisher Of the Chicago Tribune. was .
witness to-day before the United States
Senate nb-Committee on Education and
Labor. He said he had been connected
with the press since 1848. The chief cause
Of the impecunious condition Of the masses
Of lsb0rers In this country he attributed
to their " imprudence. The only way
to improve them wa to teach them to
save. Toe much Of the earnings of labor
ers is spent In liquor. tobacco and beer. It
IL calculated that the amount annually
spent BY the laboring population in drink
was $400. 600. 900. and 1t least $500. 000, 600
more spent in cigars, tobacco and useless
amusements. High licenses and high rents
would do much toward lsssening the evil.
