After which the convention ad- i
iourned to 8 o'clock in the evening.
The Virginians got into q fight |
with each other in the room of the
Committee on Credentials over who
should be admitted as delegates to
the convention. The police was call
ed IN and no one was hurt
When the convention assembled
in the evening the interesting ques-
tion was on the admission of the
delegates from Virginia, and after
rejecting the Malone delegation the
convention adjourned till Thursday
noon.
We leave the convention to pro-
ceed with its work on Thursday
morning, which it viii begin by take
ing up the report OF the Committee
on Resolutions. Who the nominees
may be can only be conjectured- In
this the convention stands In con-
trast with the convention that nomi-
mated Cleveland. 1t had been set
up months before that Cleveland
should be the nominee and he allow
ed no oppositioni he was the lone
candidate. There seems to be n
strange similarity in the working of
machine politics among the Demo
Gratis from the township to the
national convention. 1t is a series
of set ups, and choak offs. Such 10
not the case among Republicans
The race is free to all and the Chicago
convention is proof how free and
open the track Is to all aspiring men.
