Senator Wellington Indignantly pro-
tested that the motion was out OF order,
as the convention could not suspend its
rules.
The point was warmly supported by
Delegate Littlefield, of Maine.
The chair ruled both gentlemen out of
order, as the convention had decided to
receive the report.
When the reading clerk announced
"John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, to be
permanent CHAIRMAN" there was an erup-
tion of flags and cheers from the dele
gates.
A demonstration also greeted the name
of "U. s. Grant, of California"
The reading of the report of the per-
manent organization committee was fol-
lowed by wild and tumultuous scene.

against action upon the report. cit can

be acted upon. Nothing can be done
until the convention has acted on the re-
port of the committee on credentials.
Until that committee has reported there
is no convention"

der and left Mndd angrily shouting on
the floor.
ROLL GALL DEMANDED.
When Fairbanks called for vote on
the adoption of the report, Mudd demand
ed call of the roll. His demand was
seconded by Delegate Evans, of Mime
sofa.
Fairbanks, however, called for a rising
vote and the convention seemed to rise
en- masse to the call.
The galleries cheered and pandemonium
reigned for minute, as the convention
realized the overwhelming defeat of the
dissenters against the immediate adop-
tion of the report.
Sewell, of New Jersey, and Congress
man Payne, of New York, were designated
to escort the permanent chairman to the
platform. They marched down the aisle,
while the delegates jumped to their feet,
fiuttering their hats and handkerchiefs
and cheering shrilly with yell that re-
minded southerners of the confederacy.
Fairbanks, with the white plume OF
national tricolors pinned to the breast OF
his black frock coat, stepped to the front
meeting the trio and grasped the Ne
braskan's hand.
Senator Thurston faced the arena with
his hands clasped behind him and began
his speech. He said
