1t was 9.45 this morning before the
convention assembled The delega les
were little tardy and the hall filed un
slowly. There was no evidence of storm,
but the word had been passed to the
newspaper representatives who sat at the
tables on the stage that there would be
fun for them when the ball opened They
waited expectantly. There was music by
the band and then perfect calm. Present
ly Henry c. Ferguson stepped to the
tootlights aud addressed the convention,
as follows:
Gentlemen of the convention: / have
been informed and am convinced By af-
hhavlts | hold In my hand that / was
yesterday elected temporary chairman of
this convention. -
The shouts taat greeted this announce
ment prevented a continuance OF the
speech and before that had died ont the
friends of Bin Mcdonald had rushed him
TO the front and he proclaimed his legal
rlsht TO the Craftsmanship. A gavel was
soon put In his hand and he raped for
ORDER All this time the convention was
Ia an uproar ana the respective chairmen
were surrounded by eager and excited
friends urging them to stand their ground.
Mcdonald, despairing of ever bringing
the convention to order, drew from his
pocket the lists Of committees and began
reading them. The noise increased and
pandemonium reigned, but Mcdonald an
lshed reading the committees
A motion to adjourn till l O'Clock was
made and Mcdonald put 1t before the
mouse There was q convulsive shout OF
ayes and corresponding yell OF noes,
pnt the chairman declared the motion
carried and the Mcdonald wing of the
republican convention stood adjourned mn
