old issues. The majority don't know
Brigham Young is dead yet. [Great
laughter and applause Give rs our seats
and you will encourage growing party,
and when the state is admitted We VIII
give you Republican state"
There was loud applause when Chauncey
NJ. Depew arose to support the majority
report, which he did briefly. Ex-senator
Miller. of New York, spoke for the nil
noritv. and said he had listened to many
reports of committees on credentials, but
this was the first time he had ever heard
majority report which gave no reasons
why it should be adopted, except that it
was the majority report. The minority
had given reasons, and not one speaker
had given facts to controyert them. Miller
closed by moving that Cogswell's report be
received and vote taken on the Alabama
part alone.
At this point Clarkson and Plat held a
hurried consultation. No one who saw it
doubted that preparations were in hand
for the close coming of the first real test
vote between the Blaine and Harrison
forces.
Chairman Cogswell said that he had
stated at the beginning that they had had
no time to prepare report. The conven-
ton thought best. nevertheless, to call for
an oral report, and now the gentlemen
were assailing the majority because it had
not submitted an argument in favor
of the report. He concluded by demand
ing the previous question, which was
seconded by a majority Of the delegations
al nd
Virginia. Senator Quay wanted to know
the effect of the previous question, II 1t
would enable them to have a
tons involved in the report. The
chair ruled that Miller having demanded
division of the propositions involved in
the report there should be separate votes
taken. Both sides were ready for vote,
and storm of ayes greeted Mckinley
when he asked if the previous question
should be ordered Before this was done,
however, by unanimous consent the ma
jority report in all cases where there was
no minority report was submitted and
adopted by reclamation.
An amendment was now made to take q
standing vote on the Alabama case, and
when the affirmative vote was submitted
an apparent majority OF the convention
arose. Instantly the New York and Penn
sylvania delegations demanded a roll call,
and it was ordered by the convention.
When the buzz of the polling of the state
delegations had subsidized and party con-
sultation had ceased, the roll call began.
Suddenly came the sharp rap of the
chairman's gavel, and the clerk sonor-
ously called Alabama. In an instant
Chauncey Depew was on his feet, protest.

gates blaine men) voting on their own
case. Spooner supported Depew, and Fas-

The roll call on the adoption of the mi

dentials resulted as follows:

slider Palmer . Stronger Man.

NEW YORK, Juno 10.-The Times this
morning published the following special
from Troy: There is in existence letter
signed by Senator David B. Hill
authorizing the withdrawal Of his
name from all further con-
sideration by the Democratic
state and national conventions, whenever
in tho opinion and at the discretion of
Richard Croker, Hugh Mclaughlin, Sew
ard Murphy, jr., and W. 8. Sheehan, such
step should be taken.
The Times says: The letter IS in
this city at this moment, in the
safe of Edward Muusphy, Jr., chair
man of the Democratic state COM
mittee. There will be hasty and perhaps
angry denials of the above statements. but
they are based upon information
which the Times has taken pains
to verify and which are believed
to be absolutely reliable. The letter was
brought to New York by Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan on Sunday night from
Washington City.

sustained by the roll. After South Dakota
was called the electric light in the
vast hall began to wane for few
seconds. Had it not been for the faint
giimmer of a few scattered gas lights en-
circling the room, the convention would
have been in total darkness. This caused
an immediate cessation of the proceedings,
and the band in the hanging galleri
played 1--WE won't go home until morning."
At the conclusion of the music Chair
man Mckinley arose and said: 81 hope
the delegates in the hail will see TO it that
no matches are lighted. l understand
there is danger with so many in the hall

riedly dispatched to the plant of the
electric company for light. Mr.. Fas-

the darkness and danger that may occur
from the use of lamps and the impossible
Ity of doing business, I move that we ad-
lourn till tomorrow at 10 o'clock" Cries

point of order that no motion was
in order during roll call. At
ter waiting several minutes for
lights, Miller, of New York, addressed the
convention trying TO secure adjournment,
but without success. At this point the
electric current was again turned on and
after the applause, caused by the additional
light, had subsidized, the convention pro-
ceeded TO business.

Springer Opposed to Cleveland.

Springer, of Illinois, Is here. He says it
will be unsafe for Democrats to nominate
either Cleveland or Hill, and suggests the
name of John NJ. Palmer, of Illinois, as a
good one. He hopes the Republicans will
nominate Blaine, as he is not as strong as
Harrison.
Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio, is also
here, and says Tammany has given him
substantial reasons why Cleveland cannot
carry New York. They do not, however,
expect to secure the nomination of Hill
and it is in the air that they will finally
