there was liable to be trouble in the con-

there was literally not vacan foot of

most of the delegates were in their
places, but Chairman EStee found il
necessary to keep his finger on the elec,
trio button for several moments before
he could bring the band to a realization
Of the fact that he wanted it to bring its
music to an end. He succeeded at S:25
and the convention was promptly called
to order. But the delegates were slow in
getting into their seats, and the Califor-
nian had to shout several times before
he could get semblance of order. The
heat in the hall was excessive, and
scores of the delegates
TOOK OFF THEIR COATS
and vests. First in order was the read-
ing of telegram from the Republican
state central committee of California
thanking the convention for the honor
it had conferred upon the Pacific coasa
in selecting Mr.. Estee, one of its Da-
tives, as permanent chairman. The
chair announced that hereafter he

at this moment Col. Fred D. Grant. ac-

Palmer, passed down the center aisle,
and, upon being recognized, their pres.

for the chairman of the committee on

called upon the committee on resolu-

responded that the committee would not
be ready to report until the morning.
Thereupon Mr.. Hall, of Texas, moved

that every man. black or white, should
be secure in his rights, and to protest
against the cowardice of the South,
which trampled upon the voter. They
wanted to put the Democratic party out
of power. 1t was delusion and snare,
