CHICAGO, June 22-At this juncture MI
Owens announced that the committee on
credentials was ready to report and all
present locked for a fight, but no fight de-
VelOped. Ii was very tame sort Of docu-
ment and excited no interest except in its
reference TO New Mexico and Arizona, which
were given six delegates each, because, as
the chairman expressed il. they had been
unjustIy deprived OF statehood by Demo-
cratic Congress. This was not true, Of
course but it went with the gang and
brought forth more cheers. The report was
adopted without dissenting voice and the
expected struggle did not mateualize.
Then came the report Of the committee
on permanent organization, which was pre-
sented by FoFdyce Of Arkansas 1t named
Wilson of West Virginia as permanent
chairman and continued the other officers
Of the temporary organization. The name
of Wilson was met with great applause
There was cheer after cheer. aud the band
played Yankee Doodle" This brought
out faint ripple Of applause only, but
when Dixie" was heard the old re eberyen
shook the buildings and the Solid South
stood up and bOwled itself hoarse Between
the airs Don n Dickinson mounted his
chair so as 10 display his whiskers 10 good
advantage, and moved that a committee Of
FIVE be named to escort Mr.. Wilson to the
chair. Another howl followed the afirma-
tive VOTE and as Mr.. Dickinson sank into
his seat the band turned "Dixie" loose
again.
The gang from the cotton belt let them
selves out in one long and aprOarious sue
cession Of cheers, and when they subsided
young Mr. Owens named Don NJ Dickin-
son of Michigan, j. 4. Duncome Of Iowa.
John r. Fellows Of New York, Joseph c.
Richardson Of Indiana and NJ. i. Clardy Of
Missouri to drag Mr.. Wilson to the chair
AS the committee went to perform its
mission the band played 1.-The Star-Spangled
Banner" in response to which there was
some applause; but when Mr. Wilson ap-
peared and the classical strains of Tara
ra-bOom-de-sy" sweled forth the cheers
were deafeniBg. Then young Mr.. Owens
shook hands with Mr.. Wilson In the most
approved Southern fashion, and they were
cheere1 again.
AS Mr.. Wilson turned to face the audi
ence young Mr.. Owens said: Gentlemen of
the convention. it gives me great pleasure
to introduce to you one of the bravest Dem
ocrats in America, William l.. Wilson Of
Virginia" Then there were more cheers.
Mr.. Wilson looked pleasantly over the
convention, as he removed his gold-rimmed
eyeglasses and buttoned uD his blue cut
away coat, under which was conspicuous
white fOuT-in hand tie. Then be proceeded
to make the speech Of his life. The speech
was we'll received, and during It's delivery
the speaker was Queted with applause.
When he said, II must not keep you from
your work" storm Of cries Of $50 on! 20
onW came from all over the hall. He did 20
on, but only for a few moments and then
retired TO the desk, where he blushed as he
hammered IL with the big gavel.
Mr.. English Of Indiana read the report on
permanent organization, and when this per-
fOTmance had been gone through, Mr.. Phil
