LaRue men, and the others were Stein
man men.
William Hardy claimed that the writ
ten list in the Secretary's hands was pre-
pared by Chairman Beard of the Central
Committee. 1t must be correct, While
the printed one might be wrong.
The matter was further debated by A.
M. Seymour and others. Chairman
Beard explained that the Central Com
mittee had simply added two names to
the list as published.
j. b. Harris said that Mr.. Beard was
not lnfallible, and that he had no more
right to come there and put up job than
anyone else had.
Mr. Beard grew wroth at this and de-
ever been accused of putting up JoD,
and he defed any man to say that he had
ever done wrong.
James Kelley here rushed up TO where
Harris was sitting and tlourishing his
cane demanded that he apologize to Mr..
Beard. After considerable confusion Mr..
Harris said if he had wronged Mr.. Beard
he was sorry for it.
g. Harber said one of the new dele
gates had remarked that there were mine
OF them, and they were all for Steinman."
IL there are nine names on that list,
responded Beard, that are not in the
published list, I'll agree to eat it "
There was no longer any doubt that it
was Democratic Convention, and that
many of them had not ''reformed."
Hardy's appeal from the decision of the
Char in sustaining C, N. Harrison's point
OF order, being put by the Chair, and the
roll-call being demanded. another riot en-
sued over a dispute as TO which roll
should be called.
| Finally one Secretary read from the
/ printed list, while the other checked of
the names on the written list, to deter
mine the difference between them.
! The vote stood: Ayes, 80; noes, IL. The
/ Chair was overruled, and then declared
the written list To be the official one.

1t was then voted that proxies should
be admitted, and committee was selected
to pass upon their accuracy.

\ SMALL RIOT.
r. NJ. Clarken proceeded to make a
bitter speech against Steinman, and
when he referred to him as "a wandering
political refugee" John Toomey and sew
! eral other delegates got up and shook
their fists at him and demanded that he
leave the platform.
Secretary Oscar Flint was presiding
temporarily, and being unable to make
the delegate sit down, he became excited,
pulled OF his coat and sprang to the
floor, where a scramble ensued, but no
blood was spilled.
THE CHAIRMAN LEAVES.

| Clarken said he would no longer preside
over the body, and got down Oft the plat
form and left the hall.

| Mr.. Flint continue to act as Chairman OF
the convention, and he did so. By this
time the police had come in and taken
positions in front Of the platform in an
ticipation Of more riOting. Sheriff O'Nei
was there also.
c. NJ. Harrison said La Rue had been
his choice, but he would support any
good man who could succeed over the
corrupt rings.
