they regarded as purely their own, but

A SENSATION.
When President Thurston's add,ess
ended there was provision made for the
appointment Of committees, and mo.
ton was adopted to meet tomorrow at
10 q. m.
During the confusion that preceded
adjournment an Indiana delegate, Mr..
Cole, OF Shelbyville, created a limited
sensation by declaring that he would
cali q meeting to denounce the treat
ment Of President Harrison. BE was
quickly surrounded by other delegates
and was soon quieted. His complaint
arose from the allnsion OF Foraker to
Blaine, as having "given US q magnih
cent administration"
The manner in which the applause
followed that declaration showed that
there was feeling as il there was an in.
territorial ignoring Of President Harri:
son, The Indiana delegate was quieled
for the time and the convention ad-
jouIned.
Mr.. Cole subsequently called meet
;nU ri the Indiana delegation and pro.
posed that some formal notice OF the
matter be taken.
Alter consideration, it wss decided to
refer the matter 10 the Committee on
RESOLUTIONS, inasmuch as It was thought
likely that Mr.. Foraker did not intend
to convey the meaning that Mr.. Blaine
was tho ruling spirit OF the administFa'
tlon, but that he meant to compli.
ment the administration Of his
own Office OF Secretary oi
State.
