When the convention reassembled yes.
terday morning there WAS full house to
witneaa q possible renewal of the turbulent
scenes OF the day before. The material ior
t'rst c'ass row was on hand, and neishe,
site would have required much urging 10
renew the struggle. Both sides had slep!
Oh their arms, and took them into the con-
ventlon ut half cock and loaded TO the
muzs.e.' They we're breech.lordera, too,
and they lay around the convention in
such reekleas way that thers YVES great
Danger Of some oi them being Set off by
unadve,teacs. There was some eight
cross.firina in the speeches, but no general
erg4Kemsnt as Oh the dsy before. Judge
Jonn Brannon, Na permanent chairman,
was in more ways than one happy way
out Of the chairmanship trouble. He was
accsptablato both factions, and he made q
good presiding officer, though he persisted
IN calling himself "tha court" and there
were fears hist somebody might be rnled
Tor contempt when the clinir grew red in
the iAce pounding for order.
Col. Ben Wilson saw that this was g
boost lor Judge John, whose heart ,yesrns
Tor Congressional honors; and before any.
body else had time to wins Col. B-u was
on his ieet to move the adoption OF the re.
port which WAS to put Judge John in the
cttsir: This was little stroke Of diplomacy,
and the Harrison diplomst took occasion
TO unfold himsel! befoie tho convention in
harmony and victory speech.
AenY AT SENATOR KENNA.
When Senator Keuns popped up to sec.
ond the motion the administration people,
who hsd not had time to hear from head
quarters, thought they were expected to
perform the overture and begin the brick
throwing. They thought kenna We, going
to renew the fight and they were deter.
mined to g.. in the first licka. S. it came
10 raes that the Senator stood for few
seconds, the picture OF discomfort, while
the crowd yelled and shouted and even
hiased d IN the hope Of putting him down. It
was an administration rebuke f,r the hand
the Senator had taken in the contest OF
the day before, and for the part they knew
he was taking in Faulkner's behalf. 1t
was scant courtesy to extend to any dele
gate, much less 10 United States Senator.
But they were not nicely observant Of these
fiae points in that convention. They
raped him just the came as they did com.
