ciated. Various other features Of this
exceedingly comprehensive document
were heard with warm attention.
Mr.. Neil, Of Ohio. offered substi-
tute for the tariff plank, which he adj
vocated until his voice gave out and
calls Of Time were hurled at him.
Mr.. watterson seconded Mr.. Neil in
every extreme denunciation Of the
plank as agreed upon by men whose
views on the tariff are quite as demo
cratic and quite as practical as his.
Senator Villas clipped Mr.. Waiter
sons wings very effectually by quoting
his approval of the self-same plank
which he now opposed when it was in
serted in the platform Of 1854, but he
said it was mere choice Of words,
and he had no objection to the substi-
tute proposed.
4 Mr.. Jones, in behalf Of the commit
tee, was willing to take the PROPOSE
ton as an addition, but demands were
made that it be substituted.
/ The galleries were very pronounced
lin favor Of this substitute, whose very
plain declarations tickled their fancy
Immensely. A feeling was also visible
on the floor that the substitute was,
as Henry Watterson had expressed it,
no straddle, and too plain to be misun-
derstood by any one.
i DIN IN THE GALLERIES.
| Delegates all over the hall rose to
speak, but the din and uproar in the
| galleries was so tremendous it was ut
terly impossible for long time to pro-
coed intelligibly- Thousands Of men
| in the galleries had taken off their
coats and in tLeir shirt sleeves appear
ed in Just the mood for furious fun.
The space around the pressing officer
Twas crowded with delegates Of promi-
nence comforting hastily and adding to
the disorder. Repeated requests were
Imade for the call Of the roll and atlast
lit was commenced.
\ The substitute was adopted merely
as an expression that an ont-an-out
declaration IN favor Of tariff reform
| was demanded by the sentiment Of the
times, but it was in no sense test
vote as to candidates.
/ HURRaH1NG FOR DELAY.
1 The incessant hurrah Of the galleries
lup to 1920 p II. had convened at
lleast two hours. Mr.. Dewitt, of New
1 York, who was announced to put in
nomination David B. Hill, but proba-
bly, because he and his friends were
DESTROYS of postponing their fate as
long as possible, he wasted fifteen or
twenty minutes more time lettering
around the platform until the conven-
ton grew almost frantic, and cries
came from all over the hall either for
/ New York to make its nomination or
be passed by. At last Mr.. Dewitt was
induced to begin his hopeless and
thankless task.
| Later, A. NAT this hour the Con-
vention is still in session. The names
of Cleveland, Hill, and Boies have
been presented and the roll call of
States is still unfinished.
Montana seconded the nomination of
Boies. and New York, when called,
asked to be passed, which was done
without objection.
General Collins, of Massachusetts
seconded the nomination Of Cleveland.
He was followed by William H. Wal
lace Of Missouri, in a Aowery address
in the same behalf.
Acknowledgement Hensel, of Pennsyl-
vauia, seconded the nomination of
Cleveland in strong speech, giving
New York some sharp hits
| Mr.. Hensel began talking on the
tariff and was interrupted by frequen
cries Of { Timer creating much confus-
ion. a reference 70 Whitney ELECTED
cheers.
