 THE COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION
 reported Colonel Villas, of Wisconsin, and 2 1 vice president from every State. Vilss'
 name was greeted by prolonged cheering I he president named e distinguished com
 mittee including Messrs. Smith, Weed and l Hendricks to escort Colonel Villas to the
 chair. His reception was in the nature of TRIUMPHAL OVATION
 long continued, the chair ordering the band ! to play patriotic airs. Colonel Villas said "Gentlemen, know we'll that this mark of your favor is no personal compliment, but a recognition of the young Democracy of the Northwest applauss], and claim it as a 1 justly-due tribute to their lofty zeal and pas l triotic struggle againat an outnumber- Ing 1OS nal1 IG a6 pHobllS0 or coming | triumphs. Applause. But I am proud, l undessrving as am, to be selected as their representative, and render hearty thanks ! for the honor. No pledge is required of my peoples devotion. As it has been so will it abide, pure, unselfsh, resolute and unfiinch- ing till it's great object is secured-the res toration of upright and constitutional gov- | exnment. Applause You are assembled to consider great cause and pronounce 8 l momentous judgment. Your hand is on the 1 helm of a mighty and free nation. It is in your power to lay it's course in felicity for years, freighted with it's vast humanity. The import and value of it's decision lies not in mere party victory or the spoils of office. The hour is pregnant with mighty possibilities of good men and constitutional liberty, stiding amid injustice calls aloud for resuscitation to purity and power. (Applause) An assem- blaze of licentious politicians recently filled this hall, too well manufactured to be the product of infant industry. Daughter They insolently claim the continuance of power and have issused watered stock of promises to redress the disorders they have themselves communicated to the body polite (Applause) They offer the infection as cure for the disease They tender nothing adequate to the needs of a country rejoicing in the hope of renewed strength and peace and 8 noble prosperity. They offer the inspiration of national misfor- tune to people demanding deliverance from corruption. To ardent and pure youth they offer corrupt party machi nery. To |
 the clamoripg artisan they cry, Be your masters villains, and ye shall have bread Applause ) Soap is their inspiration and ammunition. The duties of this hour rise
 far above partisanship. Applause How shall we most surely rescue the republic? It
 is no time for personal devotion. No one
 man has the slightest personal right to a
 preference or should stand moment in the |
 way of such choice (great applause) | as will surely place us in solid ar- ray before country which demands reform" Applause Colonel Villas concluded with 8 |
 passionate appeal for devotion to the prin> l cipIes of tine Democratic party. Messrs. | Mumford of Louisiana, LaRue of California, and others, submitted resolutions which were referred without reading. MT. Sander, of | Pennsylvania, offered resolution that the | roll of States be called for nominations. A point of order was made, but the chair over | ruled the point of order that the resolution l is out of order. General Cluny, of Cslifor- | mia, declared that they cannot nominate until | they have platform. After further discus | sion
 CALL OF STATES WAS ORDERED On the proposition of MT. Sander that l nominations te made at once. The follow l ing is the vote on the motion to lay on the | table the resolution to proceed with immed | fate nominations: Yeas, 267; nays, 535. | Connecticut and New York voted no solid 1 Mir. Grady challenged the vote of New York l and was loudly applauded by the galleries. | The convention finally hissed him dewn and | the chair refused his challenge. A perfect
 pandemonium ensued. Dozens of delegates | sprang to their feet and tried to get the at-
 tention of the chair, but were hsssd down.
 The galleries were packed with Grady men |
 who clamored for him.
 MR. GEORGE GRAY TOOK THE FLOOR to present the claims of Senator Thomas F. |
 Bay ard. He pictured the kind of a candidate 1 that is required by the Democratic party to | bring victory in November and denounced the career of the Republican party and cha1
 acterized Blaine and the Republican platform
 as fitting culminatlon of the aims of that
 party. It flung defiance into the face O the
 American people, and it was sign of me de-
 cadence of great party. The DeMocFacy
 of the country demands a standard bearer In
 a man who has been tried in the Ia4ance ana
 never found wanting. It demards states
 man of wisdom and experience Ieaaer or
 undoubted courage with no fese pretense or
 personal dishonoz, man Of stainless honor
 who will strike corrupt0n and can face
 the electric Iiobt of hostile criticism and defy
 the tongue of slander A man who in pub
 lie and private characer Will be the very op-
 posite of the Republican nominee. Such
 man was Thomas F Bsyard (great applause
 Iono continuedl. The speaker continuing,
 added. teWbo lad resisted insolent usurpa-
 tions of arbitr4ry powers toward many States
 better than Fe had? How could they afford to
 nass him b? What account could they give
 to the Democracy! His nomination would
 silence ne voice of factions and secure the suppor of the united Democracy" moderate cheenngl
 vaE CONVENTION SHOUTED IT~~
 as MT: neao teAs Use to present the name
 01 eT0o .or Mcdonald. The Indiana dele
 oaion { ot on chairs and cheered wildly for
 Hendricks and Mcdonald as the former told che assembled delegates the duty that was incumbent on them to make Mcdonald the standard bearer of the party. MT. Hendricks ssid as this is his first duty as delegate and his first appearance as delegate to 8 politi- cal convention be feels the delicacy and re- sponsibility of the position. The nominee of the convention is to be chosen President and he will be the first inaugursted Demo- cratic President for twenty years. He pro- ceeded to read speech in which he arraign- ed the Republican party and reviewed it's ac tions while in power. He said that the question Of revenue reform was of para l mount importance. His speech, though lis- tened 10 attentiyely, elicited no enthusiaF m. l He closed by expre ssing his thanks for the re- ceotion given to McDenald's name. As Hendricks sat down the convention cheer , ed lustily for McDonald coupling Hendricks name with McDonalds | General Black, of Illinois, seconded the nomination of MT. McDonald. ''They { WOuAO PAOSoAII h0 solus pIAIIOEn WA1Cn would appeal to the sober judgment of the people, They also needed Q man whose an- to all men-constituted a ( satisfactory answer to all reasonable objec- I tlous. They needed a man whose views on l { all public questions could be found without l B search warrant and determined without an | inquisition. (Applause.) Mir. Mcdonald { was such a man. He had favored the mone- , tization of silver and the saving of the Pa- { ci6c coast from coolies or servile labor. A wise legislator, a true financier, a brave , his record glittering with the stars of truth and all might see its glory. { Every star on it was 8 Democratic star, and all it's glories were those of the people," (Chesrs.) h
 HON J. W. BRECKENRIDGE OF CALIFORNIA, Cson of the last Democratic Vice-President of I the United States) was heartily cheered when he arose to nominate ex Senator Allan G. f of Ohio.
