A sharp tap of the gavel at II :35
checked the hum and was followed mo-
ment later by Chairman Mckinley order

order established. The prayer of Dr.
Hoyt helped to produce silence and order.
The reverend gentleman prayed that the
man to be selected as the standard bearer
might be one chosen by the Lord, aud a
man after his own heart A little hutter
of applause greeted the report by Senator
Quay that David Martin of Philadelphia
had been selected as Pennsylvania mem
Der of the National committee. Martin
was Quay's candidate, and his selection
indicated the continued sway of the sena-
tor in the Keystone state.

by this convention, every contestant had
right to a hearing, yet the committee
on credentials had slammed the doors 10
the faces of the contesting Alabama dele
cation and said that they should not be
heard Some one made the point of order,
however, that the obstrepenous Alabam-

the floor Of this convention, and the
colored gentleman was forced to subsi he.
Then followed the nominating speeches
