enable the committees to report.

Chairman OF the Committee on Creden-
tials and Order OF Business, made his

reading. All Democrats present were
given seats. Mr.. Blue, of Marshall, had
Objected in advance to this feature, and
surrendered his badge, saying the Dem
ocratic party was here struggling for eX-
istence, and men who had refused TO
come into Democratic clubs were sitting
here as delegates.
