presented for the purpose OF oYganlza-
ton the names Of officers to temporarily
fill theachairs, and its action in this re-
gard had never before been questioned
He characterized the plan now proposed
as following Republican precedent dis
owned, denounced and spit upon (cheers).
And why was it, he asked with strong
emphasis, that all the rest OF the report
was accepted and only the distinguished
gentleman from New York was rejected.
ssYou cannot escape" he said, "the dis
trugt and suspicion this will arouse, and
/ trust there will be no permanent ILL
effects"
He recognized the right of the major
,itv to control the convention when per-
manently organized. The temporary or
eanization could effect nothing. Why
not permit the report Of the committee
, to stand in it's entirety? He referred to
the precedent OF the convention four
years ago. when Mr.. Cleveland was nom
mated. (Mr. Cleveland's name being re-
ceiyed with cheers, when temporary
chair man opposed to the candidate who
, had majority Of the convention was al
lowed to preside over the temporary or
sanization,. and afterwards the majority
took charge and nominated their candi :
date. (Cheers)
He reminded them In closing that the
great state of New York, whose loved
SON it was now proposed to strike down,
had given them their only Democratic
president. (Cheers.) He dwelt upon the
! fact that on tibet occasion Senator DAN
fels seconded the nomination OF David b.
Hill for president of the United States
for four years, but now seemed to deem
him unworthy to be the temporary chair
man OF a Democratic convention. Loud
cries Of NO greeted this remark, 20
which Col. Fellows retorted with the
quotation about protesting too much. =
.sWho Is he? Who is he?" shouted the
delegates as Mr.. Marsden of Louisiana,
was recognized and ascended the plat
form. Mr.. Marsden began to get In
trouble at the beginning. He progressed
no enmity to Senator HILL and declared
instead, of the majority attempting to
trample on the minority, it was the mi
nority that would trample on the ma
1ority. Loud hisse followed this senti-
ment and Mr.. Marsden was further In
terrupted by cries for Hill. BY this time
the audience began to realize that Mr..
Marsden was drinking huge quantities
Of ice water from Chairman Harrfty's
pitcher. At the third drink they began
to laugh dedisively; at the fourth the
vehemence increased, and when Mr.
Marsden, afterwaving his handkerchief
at his hearers in vain attempt to secure
silence. placed the glass to- his lips
fifth time the laughter and cheers be-
came uproarious and he was forced to
sit down. 'i$
e.. X. Ladd. of Illinois, followed Mr.
Duncan in support of the selection OF
Senator Daniel.
Gen. J. W. Sinclair, of West Virginia,

candidate. but urged the convention to
follow Democratic custom and adopt the
