During u recess of two hours the committee
on order of business had hard time to prepare
It's report. At first the committee favored leav-
ing the selection OF permanent officers to the
convention. Then later a decision was reached
to recommend DIR. +. w. Harrell OF Gilman, for
permanent chairman, J. J. Clark seconding, and
Edmund Peters and A. Z. Reed assistants. Will
II. Thompson or E. F. Blaine had been the
choice of James Hamilton Lewis for chairman,
but during all the morning the kid committee
men, L. d. Ross, /. B. Hart and C. G. Heifner-
the latter not q delegate, had been
working with pernicious activity for
HarrelL The Lewis men, learning of the
source OF Harrelfs support, brought the COM
mittec together again and made it go back to its
first plan of leaving the officers to the conven-
ton. In this shape the report was finally pre-
sented The committee also recommended that
of the thirty delegates to the state convention
at Olympia twelve delegates at largo be nomi-
mated by the chair-a scheme to give the chair
great power--and that each of the six legislative
districts name three delegates each.
The country delegates evidently captured the
committee, for ii recommended the nomination
OF full county ticket. thus gushing the
movement tor another convention. The COM
mittee further reported in favor of having the
county committee consist of one member from
each precinct, vacancies in the committee to be
filled by a mass meeting of the Democrats in the
Before the report was adopted, Frank Hartley
Jones moved that the election of ali the dele
gates be left to the convention, and that the
power of naming twelve be taken from the
chair. At once there was an uproar, end Joseph
Gallahcr moved to lay the motion on the table
Halt a dozen points OF order were made, but
Chairman Daniel Kelleher waded through the
confusion and put Mr.. Gallaher's motion. After
the votes had been taken, the amendment of
Frank Hartley Jones was carried, and the chair
was shorn OF his power.
For permanent chairman james T. Lentzy
nominated DIR. +. w. Harrell, and Will H.
Thompson was also put up. Some tried to put
in Daniel Kelleher rs q compromise, aud at first
he declined. Then b. +. De Bow and F. A. Nc
Donald insisted upon Daniel Kellehcr, the dele
gates began shouting, the Thompson and the
Harreil forces had 30 little organization that
they were stampeded and Mr.. kellehcr went in
with q rush by reclamation.
The temporary secretaries were made perma-
nent, and A d. Warner, erstwhile leader OF the
Democracy. was given q chance to lift up his
voice as reading clerk.
L. A. Mcdonald then read the following plat
form from the committee on resolutions:
Rcsolred, That we heartily ndorse the national
Democratic platform and candidacy of Grover
Cleveland and Adlai L. Stevenson fer the ex-
allied positions of president and vice president
