When President Thurston's address
ended, there was provision made for the
appointment OF committees and mo-
ton was adopted to meet tomorrow at
10 a. N. During the confusion that
preceded adjournment an Indiana dele
gate, Mr.. Cole, of Shebyville, created d
sensation by declaring that he would
call meeting TO denOunce the treat
ment of President Harrison. He was
quickly surrounded by other delegates
and quieted. His complaint arose from
the allusiOn of Foraker TO Blaine as
having ''giyen US magnificent admin
istration." The manner in which the
applause followed that declaration
showed that there was a feeling
of intentional ignoring of President
Harrison. The Indiana delegate was
quieted for the time and the convention
adjourned. Mr. Cole subsequently
called meeting of the Indiana deIega-
ton and proposed that some formal no.
tice of the matter be taken. After con
sideration it was decided to refer the
matter to the committee on resolutions.
inasmuch as it was thought likely that
Mr.. Foraker did not intend to convey
the meaning thai Mr.. Blaine was the
ruling spirit OF the administration. but
that he meant to compliment the admin
istratiOn OF his own office Of secretary
of state.
