was met by yells, Kisses and shouts
on the part Of the Demoer attic neel-
ers. and IL was only by the de-
clsive action OF the chairman that

their duties IN quiet and orderly manner.
The greater part of the day was occu-
pied by the committee on credentials max
ing its reports. and nominations were only
reached at o'clock last evening. at which
time, however, the nominations were made
in rapid succession, and tho fact that
only one vote was taken on each
nomination for the leading offices
