St. Landry democrat., 1884-07-05

part in the proceedings of this ConYen-
ton until the question OF our regularity
is passed upon by the Committee on Con-
tested Seats and by the Convention.
This was kind of small bombshell, and
left the State Committee without the
satisfaction of having their scheme tried.
In the preliminary proceedings the name
of
GOVERNOR CLEVELAND WAS NOT MEN
TONED,
and consequently there was no chance
/ for demonstration in his favor, Indi-
rectly, indeed, the temporary Chairman
alluded to the wise and economic admin
istration he had rendered the State, and
the allusion was applauded; but there
was nothing comparable to the enthu-
siasm manifested over the names of Sam.
uel J. Tilden, John Kelly, John G. Jacobs
and others. An attempt to get up a
boom for Flower was made, but it
| proved a failure. Some maladroit
person in the gallery, at a most in-.
opportune time, cried out "Three
cheers for Flower" which was responded
to by feeble effort.
AFTERNOON PROCEEDINGS,
In the roll-call when New York CITY
was reached, Colonel Fellows announced
that it had been agreed to equalize the
representation, giving the County De-
| mocracy and Tammany each thirty-one
votes and Irving Hall ten. The resolu-
ton to this effect was unanimously
| adopted.
AT SEVEN O'CLOCK
the Chair raped the convention to order,
and announced that as the Committee on
Contested Seats and Resolutions had not
been able to perfect their work, further
recess would be taken until $3.50 D. M,
If there was no objection. None being
offered, the recess was extended. At
9:06 p. IN. the convention came to order.
The Committee on Permanent OrganIza-
ton reported continuing the temporary
officers. The decision was received with
applause. The Committee on
Credentials reported that in the
Second Monroe District the delegation
headed by VIM. Purcell was entitled to
seats. This was received with great ap-
plause. 1t was q concession to Tammany, |
The report was adopted. Nelson j. Wa
terbury, Of New York; announced that
the report OF the Committee on Resolu- |
tions was the result of unanimous action. |
and that in the National Convention not |
one word of division would be |
heard, except an expression of onfn. |
ion as to who would be the best |
candidate for the Presidency, He wont
on TO point out the necessity of candi. |
date whose name will be guarantee OF |
reform. He glanced at the platforms of |
1874, 1876 and 1850, and said the resolu-
lions embodied therein were applicable |
Y to the situation of to-day, that on the /
latter platform the Governor Of this
State was elected, an event which
brought forth excellent results, and that
the chief points of these platforms were
retained in the present declaration OF
principles.
