F. Jones, ESQ.,, of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the national committee. The
hall was magnifcently decorated and
5000 delegates and spectators were
present. Mr.. Jones addressed the
convention. when he mentioned
Blaine's name there was found APP
plause, which became louder still
when he said that Mr.. Blaine's ex-
pressed will touching his nomination
by the convention should not be dis
regarded. J. M. Thurston, Of Ne
! braska, was designated as temporary
chairman of the convention, and on
taking the chair madea speech at
lacking the Democratic party and
lauding the Republican.

appointment of the various commit

J. c.. l.. Harris national committee,
w. P. Canaday. There were contest.
ing delegations from Virginia, headed
respectively by William Malone and
John S. Wise. The chairman recog-
nized the Malone party as the proper
one to name the members of the vari-
GUS COMMITTEES, to which Wise object
ed vehemently, saying that the creden-
| tials committee would have to pass on
the contest from Virginia and Malone
was not proper person to sit as
Judge of his own right to seat in the
convention. Wise proposed that Vir-
ginia 90 unrepresented on that COM
mittee. Malone replied at length to
Wise, ridiculing the claims of his del
egation. He proceeded to give the
status of the troubles of the party in
Virginia, and was proceeding with an
appeal that the convention should
stand by the regular part4 men inhis
State. At this point Wis u
energetically with the-
81 charge you with the fradl
was cheated in my contest"
"Then," retorted Malone, "Youl
charge is as false as you are foul"
II will put the stamp where it be
longs" fired back Wise.
Both gentlemen were becoming ex
cited, when Mr.. -Spaulding, of Michi
