| burn" but the senator did not respond,
and ex-Goy. McCreary came forward and
seconded the nomination of Stevenson, of
| Illinois, whom he claimed as a son Of
Kentucky, he having been born in that
state.
Delegate 2. H. McCaleb, of Louisiana,
when that state was called, announced
| from his seat that the delegation from
Louisiana unanimously seconded the nom
ination of that gifted leader and states
man, David B. Hill, of New York
Again the name of Hill aroused the
| convention to cheering and applause.
Delegate A. Leo Knott, of Maryland,
formerly an assistant postmaster gener-
| al, presented in a brief speech the name
Of Gov. John Walter Smith, of Maryland.
When the state Of Massachusetts, was
called, Hon. George Fred Williams as
! cended the platform amid considerable
applause. In the course of his address,
which was delivered In clarion tones,
carrying to the uttermost parts of the
! hall, he paid handsome compliment to
the state of New York, which, he declar-
ed, was unitedly in. favor of the plat
form and they of this convention. For
this reason, no state In the Union was
entitled to greater consideration than
/ New York. This was received with a
shout of approval, the belief becoming In
| some manner prevalent that Mr.. Williams
was about to second Hills nomination.
THE name which seems most desirab BILE
in the interests of the party Mr. Will
Jams declared, lin connection with the
! vice presidential nomination, Is that of O.
man who, Intellectually and morally, IS
! the peer Of the candidate for the first
place, Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota"
Cordial applause was given Mr.. TONNES
name, but it was tempered by such re-
marks from among the delegates as:
1--WE want a Democrat "This is not a
| Populist convention and other express
stons that raised in question Mr.. Towne's
Democracy.
In response to these cries Mr. Williams
insisted that Mr. Towne was az much of
a Democrat as any man in the conven-
ton.
At the conclusion of the speech both
Williams and Towne were heartily cheer
ed.
CONNECTICUT FOR TOWNE.
Minnesota, when called, yielded the floor
to Mr.. Cummings, Of Connecticut, who
seconded the nomination of Towne His
speech, as usual with those seconding the
nomination of ToWne, was received with
much applause from the galleries.
Senator Money, Of Mississippi, rose
when his state was called, and made his
way to the speakers platform. He de-
clared the ticket should be composed Of
men, both of whom had been Democrats
IN almost every political utilization. He
therefore seconded the nomination of
Adlai E. Stevenson.
The audience received Gov Stone, OF
Missouri, with great enthusiasm, rising
to It's feet and cheering and waving flags,
while the band played Dixie" When he
spoke it was with elaboration. and he
was given strict attention, particularly
by the local audience. His eulogy of Tell
er and Towne called for a burst Of APP
plause, and his sentiment that, even If
they had been Republicans, their support
Of silver and Mr.. Bryan entitled them to
seats in this convention, was the signal
for more enthusiasm. His closing re-
marks, seconding Mr., Stevenson, and say
ing that all who differed in 1896 would be
welcomed to the party in 1900 if they
would come, was applauded.
