Spectators Derisive.

| the sergeant-at- arms notification to
the galleries that unless order was re-
stored no one would be admitted to
the hall tomorrow except delegates
and alternates. Dersivise shouts Of
| "good.O
Order the chairman commanded,
and he lectured the spectators, remind
ing them that they were the guests OF
the convention and should keep quiet,
so the business of the convention
might be transacted quietly.
Mr.. Martin of Kansas indulged in

when it would be seen whether officers

Foote announced that Senator White
of that state had refused to allow his
name to be presented to the convention.
Boies Demonstration.
| A Boies demonstration was started
by the Iowa delegation, but made no
progress till two young women dressed
in white in the south gallery stood UP
and wildly waving their arms began
shrieking for Iowa's governor. Some
body handed them couple of flags, and
by this time the attention of the whole
convention was directed towards them
and everybody faced that way. The
| Boies banner was carried to them, and
between them they managed to wave
1t a few times and then sank back in
their seats exhausted.
After a brief rest one of them rose
again and was escorted to the floor
everybody standing on chairs to see the
sight and cheering and laughing as the
enthusiastic lady, escorted by some
male friend with his arm around her
waist, danced all around the hall. The

hour, AS soon as some slight degree
of order was established the nomina-

terized the candidate as "the grand old
commoner of the Hawkeye state
If 1t had not been for Boies, said Mr..
Smith, there would be no silver ma
jority to-day. Michigan had been car
ried for the gold standard when all at
