committee on permanent organization re-
ported. Hon. John Fdllett, of Cincin-
natl, was made permanent chairman. The
principal feature of the short speech made
by Follett was a strong endorsement of
the present national administration, and
complimenting the convention on the
favorable auspices under which it had
met, with the national government DEM
%ocratic, and the state promisinRly 50.
The committee on credentials reported
all delegations full and no contests.
A scene was created in the convention
at this point by the introduction OF Wa.

mittee appointed at q late meeting of
state voters to memorialize the state con-
ventions of the two parties for a resub-
mission Of the second amendment to a
vote of the people. The report asked a
