were unanimously elected.
Hon. ] NJ. Duncan Of Tyler moved
that the temporary organization be
made permanent.
This brought about the ears OF Mr..
Duncan such storm OF Noes" that
he hurriedly withdrew his motion, while
score OF voices We're splitting their
throats with 'Mr. Chairman"
Farmer Shaw succeeded first In get
ting the eye OF the chairman and the
ear Of the house. and moved the APP
polntment Of committee ON perma-
nent organization. In order that the
proceedings might be carried on in
good, old-fashloned Democratic way.
His proposition seemed to be received
with favor. but w. a. Fields OF Hill
offered as a substitute that there be
appointed three committees, each COM
posed of one member from each sena-
torial district--On
Credentials and basis OF representa-
tion;
Permanent organizations;
Platform and resolutions.
Even this proposition was not re-
ceived with unanimous favor
j. W, Blake of Limestone county was
opposed TO taking up the time OF the
convention with such useless formali-
ties and wanted the temporary organ
izatiou to be made permanent without
any further waste of time. But he was
met with loud and numerous noes.
Sebastian of Stevens tried to work
in substitute, but he was never heard.
The voice from stephens was drowned
amidst the whirl OF voices that said
only, Question, question:" Even the
muNGr Of the motion for three commit
tees was cried down when he tried TO
say Tor his motion that this was
Democratic convention and every man
should have n voice in the organization
of the body.
Bu- Hon. Tol Buie OF Upshur was
supplied with better lung power. and
made the convention hear him when
he would declare that the substitute
should prevail, giving as his reason
that "There are ten thousand good
Democrats in the state OF Texas that
are starving for bread ana they are
! determined on this silver proposition.
! In the next state convention you VIII
not see Ave counties with a gold bug
| In their delegations" These brief state
ments were made with dramatic EN-
| phasls, and cheers and confusion fol-
| lowed for several seconds.
Then Congressman George G. Pendle-
ton or Bell got the floor TO nave nat
instead of three committees there be
only two appointed-one on perma-
nent organization and basis OF repre-
| sentation ana one on platform and reso-
! lutions This amendment was accepted
by the gentleman from Hin and the
motion was carried
| Mr.. Owsley OF Denton moved that all
resolutions should be referred TO the
| committee on resolutions without being
read. This was heartily received and
carried without opposition.
MIR. Shirley OF Parker moved that as
the free silver Democrats OF Missouri
are in convention the secretary Of this
convention be instructed to send TO
that body message of greeting and
congratulation. At the time there was
considerable confusion and the motion
was passed over, but later on 1t pre-
vailed.
A motion to adjourn for two hours
was made by II. Il. Conn Of Dallas,
but the convention was determined FIRST
to hear the announcement of the COM
nnlttees, which was soon made. The
