ticns and that all resolutions in relation TO the
platform OF the Democratic party be referred
to said Committee without debste.
1t was moved and seconded that the
resolution as read should be adopted.
tCries Of Question:
Paines, OF New York-Mr. Chairman,
would ii not now be in order TO call the
roll OF the Convention for the purpose Of
having the credentials OF the delegations
delivered to the Chair.
Chairman-That Is the object Of the
resolution presented to the Convention
by Senator German, OF Maryland. 1t
covers that subject; first, the appoint
ment of the committee after that COM
nittee is appointed, then, of course, some
means OF putting the credentials in their
hands will be suggested. Credentials
will be presented, am informed, in the
usual order to the Committee on Creden-
tials. The place will be designated. The
Secretary will call the roll.
The Secretary called the roll Of States,
and as each State was called the chair
man OF the delegation responded with
the names Of the members OF the Com
mittee on Resolutions, Permanent Or
ganization and Credentials, as decided
upon by the various States before the
Convention. When Kentucky WAS
called and the member for the Commit
tee on Resolutions was announced to be
Henry Watterson, storm of applause
swept through the hall, which did not
cease for some minutes. There was also
much applause when Texas reported as
its member Of the Platform Committee
George Clark. On Dakota's name being
reached, O'Brien, of Minnesota, spoke
up, saying: "In Dakota there is con-
test. There are two delegations from
Dakota attending this Convention. No
committee, no delegates from Dakota
should participate in the proceedings Of
this Convention until that contest is de-
cided."
Chairman-You make the motion.
| O'Brien-I move that all the parties
claimingto be delegates from Dakota be
excluded until the report Of the Commit
tee on Credentials is made.
The question was put on this motion
and it was carried.
Roll-call was now at an end, and the
Chairman announced that the three COM
mittees, Platform, Permanent Organiza-
ton and Credentials would meet 5P. NJ,
the two latter in the rooms adjoining the
Convention hall, and the Committee on
Platform at the parlors Of the Southern
Hotel, Headquarters Of the Democratic
National Committee.
Chairman-Is there any other business
to come before the Convention.
Pusey, Of Iowa--Mr. Chairman-I am
instructed by my delegation to offer the
following resolution and ask for the
adoption OF it.
Chairman--Ssnd up the petition If you
please.
At this delegate arose and made
frantic efforts to be heard. The Chair
man several times requested him to give
his name, but he refused, whether owing
to the fact that he did not hear the
Chairman's request for his name, or was
disposed to not give it, was not appar-
ent. Finally the Chairman made him
self heard by the delegate and again
asked his name. When the delegate
said McGinnis, Of Montana, everybody
laughed. When the laughter subsidized,
McGinnis said:
Mr.. speaker-On behalf of the As
ISOLATION of Territorial delegates, 1 am
requested to offer the following resolu-
ton:
Chair-will you please wait moment
until the resolution already passed from
Iowa is read and disposed of? That is
the only thing in order now.
The Secretary then read the resolution
offered by Pussy As follows: During tho
recess OF this Convention, this hall shall
be opened for the inspection Of visiting
clubs. [Cheers.l ''''

afterwards. wfs att

vitation to the National Committee.
Baker-There are, I understand, uni

think these clubs ought to be per-
mitted to have seats in this Convention
during the deliberations of this body.
Long cheers.l

here who expect to go off on the
morning train. They are good Demo-
