was made assistant secretary
A white delegate from Georgia, who
moved that the cOIored mans election
be made unanimous, was roundly
chesred, and delegate from Alabama
who said, II wish to state that the
nomination of "a colored man can not be
made unanimous" was hissed on the
floor. Only one dissenting voice pre-
vented Mr.. Warwiciz's election from
being unanimous
Considerable discussion was aroused
by a motion concerning the appoint
ment of the platform committee 1t
was finally decided TO allow each or
ganization one representative, and one
additional represeu tative for every
twenty-five delegates in attendance
The question of option dealing was
discussed by DR.. Macune, and upon his
motion the chair was empowered to ap-
point a committee of one from each
state 70 draft an expression of the con-
ventiOn on the practice Of option gam
bling.
At 1880 O'clock the convention ad-
iourned.
The afternoon session was opened at
3 o'clock with singing, but the harmony
Of songs was followed by very iuhar-
mOniOus wrangIiBg.
There was a contest for seats in that
delegation, and those seated by the re-
port OF the committee were mainly
third party men. Congressman Moses
objected to this, and proceeded to make
things tepid, severely scoring C. II. FL
lingtOn, of Georgia, who was on the
committee, saying that he had seated
men whose credentials were not regular
because they would represent his own
7 schemes on the floor, and would stran-
gle anything like opposition to indie
pendent political action. He then drift
ed into q regular democratic stump
speech.
Mr.. Ellington resented the attack upon
his honor in a short but very pointed
speech, and he was followed by AIessrs.
NJ. j. Branch and C.. c. Post, of the
Georgia delegation, who ridiculed
Moses, Livingston and the democrats
generally. They evidently struck a pop
ular chord, for when Mr.. Noses en-
| deavored to make a second speech he
was greeted with Kisses and jeers, and
could not gain a hearing.
The committee on platform was then
announced. The members from the
