Senator White, OIL taking the chair,
spoke of the convention as an assemblage
of men from every State and Territory in

In this council chamber the Democratic
party looks for the vindication of its ex-

which we have assem- bled, and to carry
out that object will consecrate my best
efforts" Loud applause]
