Then came short pause, and Jas.
Davis arose to his feet and moved that
a committee of three be appointed on
resolutions. The chair named Mr.
Davis, and after hunting round little
added Geo. Gill and DanI Miller.
The credential committee returned
and reported all townships represent
ed. 1t was moved that the report be
accepted, when John Connrardy, evi
IDENTIFY fearing that said committee
would have to hold over until next
year, moved to amend the motion by
adding "and the committee be dis

The committee on organization made
the temporary officers permanent.
AT this time part of the convention
wanted to 60 ahead and nominate the
ticket but it was decided to wait on
the resolution committee.

uscript, which had evidently been pre-
pared for the occasion, to the effect
that this convention favored the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. as per
resolutions adopted in the demo-
Weaver convention held at Council
Bluffs,an that this convention favored
a license to control the liquor traffic.
1t was moved that the committee
amend their report so as to show what
the monetary resolution of the Council
Bluffs convention was.
John b. Connrardy, (which is
p. NJ" at Extra, wanted to table the
resolutions, but the chair ruled him
out of order, and the motion was
carried. The committe went back to
their type writer and dOctored the
resolutions so as to suit those demo
'crats who could not remember the
platform on which their last congress
siOnal candidate stood.
Immediately OH the second reading
of the resolutions p. G. Moller, of
Gray, moved that the resolutions be
laid on the table, and that the conven-
ton indOrse the Marshalltown plat
form. The golden haired postmaster
smilingly seconded the motion and the
convention decided to remain in the
party of Grover.

and the long felt want in the Hamlin
statesman's heart was filled. He as.
surred the convention that he was very

guided, that he favored silver himself
