The celebrated pill maker said that he was
no sperch maker, but that he could work
as hard as any one else for the success oi
the republican party (; that he saw many
distinguished gentlemen present who could
entertain the convention IN q much bitter
manner than himself, and he would there
fore take has seat.
Gen. John w. Noble, of St. Louis, was
the next speaker, the chairman stating
that there was a very generally expressed
desire that Gen. Noble address the conven
ton. The generals address was brief, and
delivered in his usual forcible style. One
or two illusions were made TO the recent
primaries in St. Louis, witch did not seem
to be much relished by some of the dele
gates.
Loud calls were made for J. Milton Tur
ner, and that distinguished representative
of the down trOdden African. who occupied
seat on the lrear of the platform, came
forward, and very gracefully rendered his
acknowledgements for the honor conferred.
He then proceeded to give the convention
very full and complete history OF
his war record, in which he took occasion
TO pass very high eulogy upon Gen.
Prentiss, whom he sand he remembered

The speaker referred to having met Gen.
Joe Shelby, to whom he said that Missouri
had produced but few great men. "The
list of statesmen presented by Missouri is a
very short one" The speaker then pro-
ceeded To enumerate some of the great men,
among whom he mentioned, Thomas III.
Benton and Frank F. Blair, and also paid
tribute to the ability OF Geo. q. Vest,
Col. r. T. Van Horn and others. General
Shelby is great man" said MIR. Turner,

After speaking of the attempt made by
some TO separate the colored men from the
republican party, and making an argu-
mant 10 show that they were entitled 10 all

Irishmen and other foreigners, the speaker
subsided
Col. Van Horn was called for, and SAID
that the most eloquent thing possible at
this iuncture on the part of the gentleman
on the stage was the eloquence OF silence.
The chairman remarked that the states
manship OF the convention was almost ex-
haust.d.
Loud calls were then made for Elder
Gaines, and c. H. Tasdv, and there was
considerable disorder in the house.
The chairman who seemed
DISPOSED To BE SARCASTIC,
said that the proceedings seemed to be
partaking in slight degree at least of

A delegate-''The committee will be
ready To report very soon"
The Chairman-Whatd does very soon
mean with them? That committee has
been out long enough to discover another
world.
Calls for Tandy were reneSed, The
colored statesman was standing in the rear
OF the chairman, only too willing to turn
himself loose. Finally Mr.. Tsndy was
recognized and commenced addressing the
convention in a very excited manner. He
had hardly got well under headway, when
an unfortunate allusiOn To the Eighteenth
ward OF St. Louis, raised regular
wHIRLwIND OF DISCORD,
and the voice of the speaker was drowned
by vociierous cries OF put him out" ''sit

The chairman pounded the table
vigorously with his gavel in a vain
attempt TO restore order.
A delegate arose in the interest of har-
mony ard desired that policeman be sent

desiring recognition, each one having a
different motion.
The chairman declared that he would
recognize no delegate or entertain a motion
until he himself had a chance to be heard.
He proposed TO conduct matters in his own
way while he was chairman.
Col. Van Horn suggested that while it
was not exactly regular, there was other
business which could be transacted while
the convention was waiting for the report
of the committee on credentials.
Several motions were made for a recess
of TWO hours, and quite a number for ad-
