A new gavel announced as coming, by
permission of the owner, from timber on
the first homestead entry in the United
States, was at this moment presented to
the Chairman. He raped it vigorously
on the desk amid laughter, caused by
the declaration that this gavel, unlike

pleased to term an GRAFTON and talked TO
delegates who were almost ready to
groan till Mr.. Dean, of New York, called
him to time, stating that the limit had
expired. Mr., Deans remarks were
loudly applauded, and in Difference to
the wishes of the convention, MI
Armstrong made his little bow and re-
tired.
Mr.. Emery, of Michigan, was intro
duced for a speech, and Jared better
than Gen. Armstrong, but the conven-
ton was visibly impatient to get to-
business. An Oregon delegate claimed
attention for a moment to present an
other gava in honor of the Peoples
Party achievements in the Oregon State
election. The Chairman returned brief
thanks, and, amid cheering from all,
sides, the committee reports were an
nounced as ready.

VociferouS signs Of disapproval
greeted the reading Of the paragraph
governing the proposed new system OF
balloting. 1t was moved that the re-

A vote was then taken on the adop-
tion of this recommendation and it was
declared carried by reclamation. Mr..
Dee. of Oregon, desired to limit the
nomination speeches to FIVE minutes in
stead of fifteen, but the convention just
at that moment was more vitally inter
