SECOND DAY.-The Opera House
orchestra was discourslDg IA fine uiusi-
cal selection as the temporary chair
man pounded the table with his mall
let and called the meeting to order.
The Rev. Robert Cameron opened the
proceedings with fervent invocation
to Him VINO rounds-up his herds on
many thousand hills. The minutes of
yesterdays proceedings are not yet
properly written up (the secretary was

the chair announced that they would
be read in the sweet by-aHd-by.
Gov. Gosper, of Arizona, chairman
OF the committee on credentials, said
that the committee was ready to re-
port, whereupon the secretary of the
committee mounted the platform ana
read the same.
The report contained the names OF

the different states aud territories.

the report Gov. Gosper made ; lort
explaining speech, touching upon the
delegation from Colorado who, having
forty-two votes in the convention,
waived their rights and would ask for
no larger representation than other
states and territories entitled to equal

also unanimously adopted.

moved that a committee on perma-
nent organization be appointed.
Mr.. simpson, Of Texas wanted 10

of representation was to be disposed of.
The appointment of q committee on
permanent organization at this time
would make that question no ques-

in order.

advocates of the different systems
of representation, but the chair made
an explanation in answer TO Mr..
Simpsons question aud decided that
Judge 0'Brien's motion was in order,
thus smoothing things over for the
time being.
Various matters of routine business,
including the appointment of commit

on rules, were then disposed of, con-
