HowLER ARMSTRONG CUT OFF SHORT.
Gen. William Jackson Armstrong who
was inspector general of census under
Grants administration. was given the
floor at the request of Mr.. Taubeneck
pending reports from committees. There
was considerable dissent to anything but
strict business. but General Armstrong was
finally allowed to proceed with an grafton.
He said:
On this sacred day we are met here to organize
civilization tor the last fight for justice. There
is Dot soul here so servie that ii does not re-
volt at injustice. Amid the palaces OF the rich
are heard the groans of the starving poor.
Dives, like Cain OF old, says: "i ain not my

thousand men tramp the streets of the country
begging for the priyileg of earning their bread.

only thing having q right in this world is man.
We have met to affirm that the sOrrows OF this
world should be attended to here. and rot wait
for the mysterious judgments of the future

MIR. Dean, of New York, called the speak

applauded, and In Difference to the wishes
OF the convention, Mr. Armstrong made his
little bow and retired.

Armstrong. but rhe con ton was vlsibly
impatient to 60 to business.
An Oregon delegate claimed attention for

Vociferous signs of disapproval greeted
the reading OF the paragraph governing
the proposed new ystem of baliotiDg. lt
was moved that its recommendation be
adopted.
"i object to that" said Mr.. Samnel Will
Jams, of indiana, 'and move to strike oct
of the report that part which relates to the
second choice for President"
LAS / understand the recommendation"
said Mr.. Brown, of Massachusetts,. 'you
will limit this nomination TO two candl-
dates, and put yourself in position whore.
at no subsequent time, are you at liberty to
retire both of them in favor of some new
candidate"
I've understand thatm shouted several
delegates.
VERY we'll. said Mr.. Brown.
A vote was then taken on the adoption OF
this recommended alton, and il was declared
carried by acclamatIon.
Mr.. Dee. of Oregon, desired TO limit the
nominating speeches to five Minutes in
stead OF fifteen, but the convention just at
the moment was more vitally interested In
the serious question of how TO conduct the
balloting. At this juncture the question OF
amending the rules committees report, so
as to strike out the provision regarding
second choice. was sprung In another form.
THE RULES CHANGED.
Mr.. Vandervoort. OF Nebraska. opposed
the provision for the retirement Of candl-
dates with only small following. I'VE
believe" said he, "that any man that has
q choice should be permitted &c exercise
that choice without being muzzled, and
that q man can stay In and be voted on.
even if he has only one vote, until the
crack of DOOM" He proposed an amend
menJ striking ont the clause of the rales
providing that after the second ballot all
candidates except the two leaders shall be
retired, and inserting provision that
when ball0tting begins candidates shall be
voted for until there was O choice. This
amendment prevailed by large majority.
so the rules as tn ballottng are in accord
ance with the customary rules IN national
conventions.
