Villas IN THE CHAIR.
The committee on permanent organ
ization then reported, naming w. f.
Villas, of WicOnsin, permanent chair
man. His name was met with a. great
burst Of applause.
The chair appointed Thomas Hen
bricks, w. w. Armstrong, w. III. Par
sons, j. w. Henderson, Jay, Sparks,
and Smith Weed committee to escort
Villas to the chair.
Villas spoke slowly. He was in fine
voice. His points were all heard and
well applauded. Before he had been
speaking a minute the convention was
SO still that man with poor lungs and
worse enunciation than the speaker
could easily have been heard anywhere
in the big hall.
At.the conclusion of Villas speech a
delegate from Tennessee moved that
the roll-call Of the states be proceeded
with for the purpose of putting in NOM
nation the presidential candidate. a
delegate from Colorado moved to lay
this motion on the table, and the roll
call Of the states was demanded on the
latter motion
The usual scene of excitement en-
sued when New York was reached in
the roll-call. Chairman Manning an
nounced 50 noes, thus opposing the pur-
pose of postp0ning the nominating
speeches.
Grady protested loudly, but the chair
would entertain no objections until the
roll-call had been finished. He tried
for three minutes to get the eye of the
chair, but could not.
The call Of states was then ordered
on the original resolution, to proceed
with nominations.
The vote resulted: Total cast, 8O3;
yeas 2S2, nays 521, and the motion to
lay on the table was therefore lost.
The demand for a call Of states on
the original motion was withdrawn,
