convention, Temporary Chairman Beebe
called the body TO order. Daniel g. Griffin
presented the report Of the committee on
credentials, which was adopted. John +.

Daniel E. Siclles for permanent chairman.
The report was adopted and General Sickles
was introduced amid loud and continued
applause. Every point in General SiclIles
speech was applauded vigorously. The
mention Of Senator Hills name at its con
clusion was the signal for round after round
/ of applause.

lutions presented the report Of that com
mittee, which was read by the secretary as
