 Chairman White let fall his silver gavel. Rev. J. R. Greene, of Missouri, offered prayer. T. J. Campbell, of New York, offered resolu- 1 tion demanding the enforcement of the Mon- roe doctrine and it was referred to the com mittee on resolutions. Mir. Mallory, of Florida, presented a resolution endorsing President C1eveland's tariff message and it l was likewise referred. Mir. Cassidy of Pennsylvania, the chairman of the committee on organization, presented his committee s report, which named General Patrick A. Col lins as chairman and H. H. Ingersoll, of Ten nessee, as secretary The committee further recommended that the rules of the previous convention shall be in force during the pres- ent convention. with the modification that no State shall change it's vote for president and vice president until the call of States has been completed. The report of the commit | tee was agreed to. When the report of the | committee had been completed and adopted, l Chairman White announced that he would ap- ! point Chairman Barnum of the National com- ! mittee Roswell P.

Barnun's name wes received l with especial warmth, and cries of "Barnum" | were mingled with the general shouts. Amid l wild applause MT. Collins, arm in arm with Mr. Barnum and MT. Flower, marched on to I the stage, and after being presented by MT. I Waite, the retiring chairman, received from him the silver gayel. After the loud applause | with which he was greeted had subsided MT. | Collins made his speech.
 ! After thanking the convention for the high honor accorded him Mr. Collins said we ire | quently hear the question asked, "What diff ! ference is there between the two parties?" Every Democrat knows the difference. The Democratic creed was not penned by JeHer- son for section or a class of the people, | but for all; not for day or generation, | but for all time. These principles con-
 served and expanded the republic in all its t7 | better days. A strict adherence to them will preserve it to the end So the Democracy of to- | day, as in the past, believe with Jefferson in l. Equal and exact justice to all men of whatever

 After speaking of the tWenty-fou years during which the Democratic party was vain- | Iy struggling to secure control of the govern 1I- ~-aI sf. principles and it's organization intact, he said | the party now stood before the people with 8 new responsibility-that of the great trust of government, which it held by virtue of the selection four years ago of President Cleve-
 land. He paid glowing tribute to the ad- ministration of President Cleveland, saying: What the people see is the government of the peace, honesty and imDartiai enforcement of law so far as government meet them, by legislative
 snactmsnIs for their encouragement :; and protsc-
 ed pensions long due them, to the amount of more
 vaue of those sranfsd under any previous admin istratien; They sc mo than Ssc5leso acres of

 in the land watehfui, steady, safe and patriotic
 adminlstration-the solid promise @ made ] by the De ment by honest men"
 He then paid tribute to the mugwumps ! and invited them to continue in the Demo- cratic ranks, and concluding said:
 | We need not wait for time to do justice to the character and services of President Cleveland Hon.

The chair | man stated that he had been informed by | the chairman of the tcommittee on resolu- | tions that that committee would be unable to report before 8 o'clock. A petition from \ the women's convention recently held in Washington was read asking that two of it's members be granted the privilege of ad- dressing ths convention and is was agreed to. The following resolution was read:
 l Resolved. That this convention takes occasion to | express it's unfeigned sorrow at the serious and
 dangerous illness of General phii Sheridan ian Sap- l be enshrfned in the hearts of his countrymen, we extend our sincere sympathy. We earnestly trust that the great soldier and patriot will meet with | speedy recovery and that the Divine Providence may spare him to this nation for many years to | come.
 | forwarded to General Sheridan as expressive of
 the lheartfelt sentiments of the Democracy of the United States. (Cheers)
 Mr. Campbell asked for unanimous consent | for the adoption of the resolutions. The reso- lutions were adopted by rising vote, with l three hearty cheers for the gallant soldier, f who is now engaged in his most desperate campaign.
