Mr.. Owens speech was received with
marked approval by the delegates and
with occasional outbursts of applause from
the galleries especially the remark re-
lating to the defeat of Mr. Blaine at Mime
apolis. The temporary chairman having
concluded his remarks called upon the
convention for it's further pleasure.
Mr.. White of California offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved. That the roll of states and terri
tories be now called and that each delegation
name one member to act as member of the
committee on credentials, one member on the
committee on permanent organization, one
member on the committee on resolutions, and
that ali resolutions relating to the platform of
the democratic party be referred to the COM
mittee ON resolutions without debate; and that
the credentials of each delegation be delivered
to the member of the committee on creden tials
from such delegation.
Gen. E. S. Bragg of Wisconsin moved as
an amendment:
Resolved, That the rules of the last nationsi
democratic convention govern this body until
otherwise ordered.
Mr.. White of California tenn porarily
withdrew his resolution and the resolu-
tion OF Gen. Bragg was unanimously
adopted.
Mr.. White then again offered his resolu-
ton as presented before and stated that
1t was practically the same resolution
adopted at the last national convention.
Mr.. Rhodes of Alabama offered an
amendment to Mr.. Whites resolution
providing for an additional committee on
rules and order of business, or in other
words dividing the work on permanent
organization and rules and order of busi-
ness between two committees instead of
combining it to a single committee as pro-
vided Tor in Mr.. Whites resolution.
The amendment and resolution were
both adopted and the call of the roll of
states was then taken up. The names of
various committeeman were announced
and the roll-call proceeded without any
special feature until Alaska was reached
when much laughter was occasioned that
there were but two names to present for
the four committees of permanent or
ganization, resolutions, credentials and
rules and order of business. similar
outburst occurred when the other terri
tories were announced. Utah presented
two lists, the liberal and the mormon,
both lists will go before the committee on
credentials.
