The band played patriotic airs while
the audience was gathering for the af-
ternoon session. Considerable Difficult
ty was experienced in seating the dele
gates, as outsiders had entered early
and pre-empted delegates seats The
work OF the afternoon was well ad-
yanced before order was secured on the
main floor for the first time and the
disorder due to the excitement of the
balloting soon followed Four hun
dred tickets mysteriously disappeared
and were in the hands of people with
no authority to hold them, greatly to
the embarrassment Of the managers of
the convention.
| When Chairman Roach was ready TO
call the convention to order, the Audi
torium was completely filled. The
boxes were occupied by ladies and dis
4 tinguished gentlemen, and there was a
| sprinkling of women among the visitors
who occupied seats in the balcony and
| gallery.
The committee on CREDENTIALS report
led every county represented and Nc
contests.
w. H. Torbett Of Dubuque, chairman
of the committee on permanent organ
,izatton, reported, recommending Sem
ator J. H. Trewin Of Allamakee county

lowing additional officers:
Secretary-W. c. Elliott Of Audubon.

McNiden of Cerro Gordo and c. T. RAINS

Reading clerks-James N. Wilson of
Centervi.le. and Eugene Anderson of

The committee further recommended
the adoption of the following rules:
| That each county be required to vote

speech OF not more than five minutes.
that the convention might not be ham
pered
A motion to include a recommended
ton thai nominations be made by roll
call Of districts was tabled.
The report of the commmittee was
adopted.
Temporary Chairman Roach named
Senator Allen. II. NJ. Let's and j. G.
Berryhill as a committee to escort
Permanent Chairman Trewin to the
desk. Mr.. Trewin was introduced and
spoke as follows:
"Gentlemen of the Convention. This
great honor has come to me entirely
unexpected and unsolicited. No man
can be called upon to preside over a
republican convention without being
filed with just pride. The speech that
was made this morning l wish to
commend to all thoughtful people ev-
erywhere. The time for action has ar
rived. Gentlemen, what Is your pleas
ure?"
The brief address pleased the audi
ence and he was roundly cheered at
the close. A long delay followed, owing
TO the difficulty in securing order. The
delegates seats were all occupied and
the aisles were still full of delegates.
The ushers were unable to produce or
der out OF chaos. The sergeant-at-
arms requested the delegates to indi-
cate all outsiders that they might be
expelled from the seats. Before this
| operation was completed the audience
became impatient and Chairman Ire
win ordered a ballot for the nomina-
ton of secretary of state.
w. b. Martin OF Adair, was nomi-
mated for secretary of state on the
taird ballot.
After the nomination Of Martin for
secretary of state, Congressman
Thomas Hedge. chairman OF the COM
m!ttee on resolutions, was introduced
