Mr.. Chairman: In behalf Of the zinc pro-

souri, and Mr.. Porter Of Tennessee
to escort the Kentuckian to the platform The
committee seemed unable to find Mr.. Carlisle
and the galleries continued to cry "Carlisle"
spasmodically while the convention remained
inactive.
MR.. cAMPBELL's SPEECH.
There were cries for "Clardy," but as no one
responded to any of the calls the chairman
started the band on IN opera selection. While
the band was playing the electric lights went
out.
When the music stopped the Carlisle commit
tee reported that Mr.. Carlisle was not in the
convention, and on motion Of Mr. Fordyce Of
Arkansas ex-Gov. Campbell was invited to
address the convention. The chairman,
amid cheers. appointed another escort
committee and the band played "The Camp
bells are Coming" Mr.. Campbell responded,
being led to the platform by Reading Clerk
Bell and then taken in charge by Mr.. Fordyce
The chairman, introducing him. said that the
camel was the favorite democratic animal.
Gov. Campbell commenced in an ordinary
tone Of voice. There were cries Of Louder"
to which he replied: 81 would be glad to
talk louder, but there are too many democratic
here for any one man to talk to. I
am afraid that this audience, having
no other amusement, wishes, as the chairman
insinuates, to trot out all the democratic
menagerie. [Laughter.l have been trotted
out on al kinds Of occasions, and certainly
kal Ixx -
not abuse your kindness by inficting on
you a speech. II I did 1 could only
expect to fail by contrast with the magnifce /,
the matchless Grafton delivered this day by " IL
chairman. [Cheers.l So l simply ask you when
November rolls around to keep your eye on
Ohio"
The band struck up again.
Then an invitation was extended by motion
to Attorney General Hensel Of Pennsylvania to
address the convention.
Mr.. Hensel. however, did not respond. Mr..
Davis of OHIO got the door to move the appoint
ment Of q committee of two to wait ON the COM
mittee on resolutions and ask when they
would be able to report, but the confusion In
the gallery was so great that the chair had to
ask the official stenographer what Mr.. Davis
had said. The motion was adopted and Mr..
Davis and Mr.. Hensel were made the visiting
committee.
Mr.. Ochs Of Tennessee moved that ex-Gov.
Bob Taylor Of Tennessee be asked to address
the convention.
The chairman announced that Gov. TAYLOR.
who was on the platform, was not well enough
to speak Then Mr.. Henr9 Of Mississippi
moved that Henry Watterson be asked
to address the convention, but Mr.. Watterson
was too coy and the galleries divided on cries
for Taylor and other favorites until the chair
man again started the band.
