The Show of Opposition Co General Collin
Meets No Encouragement

The Show Of Opposition en- General Collins
Meets No Encouragement
ST. LOUIS, June 5-Ths rumors that
formidable show OF opposition would be made
to tbs appointment of Gen Patrick A Collins
vsntiou. were quickly dispslled this evening
when the committee on organization assembled
for the frat time. 1t had been reported that
Henry watterson would be pushed for the
place, and that General Collins would be fought
until compelled to foreeo the honor. The COM
mittes proceeded, first, with its own organize
ton before taking up that Of the con-
vsption. L. B. Cassidy, of Pennsyl-
vania, made chairman Of the
committee, and Kentuckian, John B. Castle
man, obtained the post Of secretary. Then it
became evident that no contest against Collins
WAS to be waeed. the understanding being that
Mr. Watterson had peremptorily declined to al
low his name to be used as against General Col
Inns The nomination Of Collins was made by
DIR. Hanrahan. Of Vermont. Mr.. Castleman, OF
Kentucky, seconded Colins's name. and he was
seconded unanimously for recommendation to
the convention. Fl. II. Ingersoll was selected
without opposition as the committees choice for
the conventions permanent secretary. Mr..
Prince. the temporary secretary. and oil his as
sistants were retained for the permanent organ
ization a. Mr.. Ingersolls helpers
A matter that may prove to be Of greater i'm
portance to the convention than the choice of
permanent chairman then came before the COM
mittee. IL was the choice OF rules to govern the
convention. After some discussion the suRges-
ton made to-day in the convention by Govern
or Green, OF New Jersey, was acquiesced 10.
This was to adopt the rules Of the last national
Democratic convention, with the significant ad-
dition that during q roll call no State having
once voted shall be allowed to change its vote
until all the other States have voted. The COM
mittee will hold another meeting tomorrow
morning early. to put its action into formal
shape for the convention.

SHORTENING THE SESSION.

Probability that All the Conventions Bust
ness Will BE Finished To-Day.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The shrewd little scheme
for carrying the convention into Thursday was
nicely knocked in the head in to-days session
1t had its origin with certain members Of the
local committee. who very correctly figured it
out that as soon Is the convention got through
with its business the membership thereof would
lose no time in shaking the dust
Of the city from its feet This,
Of course, would mean the loss Of
good many dollars. or Thousands of them, not
only to the hotels but to many other branches
of business that would profit by the delegates
being compelled to spend an idle halliday or 80
in town. Hence it was determined to 80 pro-
tract the proceedings Of the convention az to
bring about an adjournment about noon on
Thursday. The perfunctory cooperation of
Roswell p. Flower was enlisted in this scheme,
and 1t was arranged that he should move Q re-
cess of to-day's meeting until noon tomorrow.
nent organization had been effected, and
the platform adopted, another effort would have
been made to carry over the nominations Until
Thursday at 10 o'clock. So far Mr.. Flower
was concerned, he carried out his part Of the
contract with more or less show Of sincerity,
bat the shouts Of mo" thai greeted his resolu-
ton so plainly developed the spirit of the con-
vention that he quietly subsidized without saying
word in support Of his proposition Ex-Gov.
Leon Albeit. of New Jersey, gave the scheme
. final quietus when he said, amid approving
shouts, that he wanted to see the President re-
nominated on tn second and not on the third
day. So the convention will meet at 10 o'clock;
its task will probably have been completed be-
fore dusk. and before the next day the city will
about have reassumed its usual rustic appear
