The committee on credentials not be-
ing ready to report, a season OF speech
, making ensued. Gen. Bragg was first
/ called for and gave Il very delicious
/ address Of ten minutes duration from
/ his place among the ladies i'll Il box to
the left. He congratulated the audi
! IN nj fI1lI of 10
victory. the speaker quoted Iincoln'S
! historic remark about al people not
being fooled all the time. Ever since
the war, while the people have rested,
trusts have grown nursed by their
mother, tie rODber tariff. AS he was
/ the last ut the convention two years ago
to pull off his coat for the ticket, Gen.
Bragg said he was proud now to hc
among the first to welcome it for a
I second term. People were wiser than
he and he was proud now to be one Of
the champions who would fight for their
Judgment and for the ticket which he
knew would be renonninated For years
people bad been careless Of pecJlla-
items in the treasury; but now con-
science was awakened, and he expected
that there would be fight as decisive
as there was in 1853, when peculations
did not amount to as much as the con-
tribution Of lumber baron to the re-
publican corruption fund of today.
The little general was f. equently ap-
plauded.
Then followed cries for Doe, John
ston, Villas, OConnor and others. John
Johnston, Of Milwaukee, talked with
the bluntnesS OF a business man. He
heartily applauded the nominations,
stood by his ATTITUDE of two years ago
in opposition 10 the Bennett law, Sug-
gested legislation to revise our tax
laws, and believed something should be
tried TO better harmonic capital and
labor.
Adjutant General Doe also spoke.
In response to repeated calls, Con-
gresslnan John l. Mitchell came for
ward and made a hit with short
speech full of pleasantly. He believed
the men nominated were good. yes
even firstfate." He was warmly APP
plauded.
G. II. Gardner, of Dodge, opposed
calling out O'Connor because he had
already done enough for his party.
Owen A. Wells made a motion that
the report of the committee or credcn-
tials be anticipated, insofar rs there
were ESQ contests, and adopted.
Mr.. Gardner opposed it and an IN
pleasant bit of Wrangling ensued.
After long delay the committee made
its report, which Was adopted after be
ing partially read.
The chairman of the committee OH
resolutions submitted the following re-
pert, which was unanimously adopted
1.-TWO years ago the democratic CON
vention charged the republican party
with extravaganza, corruption and I'M
justifiable interference with in
diyiClllal ana constitutional rights. and
denounced that party for permitting
state treasurers To appropriate the in
terast earned by state funds, declaring
that the interest on these funds is the
money Of the people.
