Day as committee to conduct the officers
to the stage. After the usual style Mr..
Harris said he stood before the Democratic
audience with an uncovered head. He
rendered his sincere thanks, saying
to preside oyer the convention at this time
was truly an honor 1--WE are here my
Democratic friends TO make history"
[Cheersl. I'VE are here to put the flag of
Democracy in the hands of an historic
character this day" [Cheersl. 1--WE are
here TO declare our principles to the grand
old party" [Cheersl He then went out
with sweet words after Tilden and Hend-
ricks.
The speaker claimed the Democratic par
ty had added all rich territory to this
country. He assured the convention that
Sedgwick county would give them "thous-
ands of votes" Cheersl. "The flag of
Democracy and Resubmission will be car
ried to victory" Returning to Democracy
he said there was much to cheer the
Democratic heart. The name Of
Grover Cleveland was received with
the old time yell, waving of loose clothes
the secretaries thought it good scheme
to place Grover, in bronze, on the table,
being cnange from fiat on the stage.
This caused the old fashioned yell to open
up with renewed vigor. He was then I'M
kind enough to say ain '92 some other
grand Democratic leader will lead the
party to victory" He assured them that
the Republican party would soon 90 down
and the Democrats would have picnic.
BY way of oil on the waters he said
shoot Democrat on the spot who hesitat-
ed in his plain duty.
The committee on resolu ions was called
for but did not appear to lie present.
1t was moved TO suspend business unit
the resolutions were reported.
Thomas Moonlight thought it would be
well to select the central committee at
once.
One suggested that he did not want to
follow the foot steps of that "rotten con-
vention" at Topeka doing every thing be-
fore the resolutions were adopted.
Mr.. Moore, of Sedgwick, announced that
a resubmissiOn committee of five were
knocking at the door to be met or heard.
He moved that a committee of five be APP
pointed on conference.
1t was ruled out of order and there was
a general discussion about central COM
mittee, a recess, and conference committee
with the resubmission committee about
some thing of Importance" as Mr.. John
Martin expressed it.
Finally the motion to appoint confer
ence committee prevailed.
e,
recess to allow selection of central com
mittee.
The chair announced the committee on
ready to report and would be
heard Immediately.
Mr. f. White Moore, of Sedgwick, cried
put: 81 arise to point of order"
The chair-Everybody will sit down.
Moore-I arise to point of order Mr..
Chairman.
The chair bracing the mace, every one
will sit down"
There was wild confusion and one mad
fellow looking at the chair yelled You
are "A - fool"
The chair finally pounded them down.
Many wanted to speak on the motion but
ne finally got quiet restored.
Mr.. Thomas b. Fenlon was presented
