the Democracy liked 1t as far as they had
gone and how much further they were going.
At 11.40 the committee returned and re-
reported GIG delegates present. The
report was accepted, and the temporary or
ganization made permanent. Mr.. Moulton's
state committee motion was taken up and
killed in the twinkling of an eye and the
convention resolved itself into sixteen noisy
county caucuses to choose vice presidents,

tee. having been given five minutes for that
purpose.

mote harmony during the recess by motion
to refer all resolutions to the committee
without debate. but Mr.. E. G. Moody OF York
wanted to see the committee first. Ihis was
purely informal, being in recess The hve
minutes allowed for caucuses heightened into
ten and fifteen and twenty, but finally the
warning factions were appeased and the Off

At one minute before noon, Mr.. Moody
lifted up his voice and howled for time.
Those who were on the floor agreed with
him, but the "Wets" had gathered in the
gallery and a deep Bass voice called for 10
minutes more A compromise was erected
and five minutes given in which the PenoD-
scots might convert as many delegates as
they could.
The vice presidents were invited to step
up higher, and the resolution committee TO
step down lower, to the council chamber
Hon. e. G. Moody of York, who won fame
ten years ago as member OF the Garcel0n
council, made another shy at the same target
today by the following resolution, which
was referred to the committee:
whereas, 1t Is apparent to the people of our
state that the change in the constitution in rela-
tion to the manufacture. sale and use OF lntoxi-
eating liquors is practically nullifed therefore,
convention assembled this present day Of June
T. 1890, do declare our belief in the principles OF
temperance, surrounded by or cloaked In no garb
OF hypocritical prohibition; and we further de-
clare that in our belief at such time as fair bal
lot can be obtained the people Of the state shall
have afforded them an opportunity to pass upon upon
this question to the end that the constitution shall
be preserved.
Mr.. Frank announced that the second dis
trict congressional convention would meet
as soon as the convention adjourned for din

ventioE adjourned for one hour
lL was 0cl0ck before CHAIRMAN FRANK
called the convention to order again.
Mr.. Donovan read a communication from
Hon. w. l.. Putnam, returning thanks for
the support which was given him two years
ago, and kindly but very firmly declining TO
run again, and at the same time firing the
Democratic heart by reciting many of the
blackest sins of the Republicans, and laying
down anew the fundamental principles Of
the Democracy.
Mr.. Putnam's letter was received with
