this morning. When Senator Hill en-
tered the hall there was great out
burst OF applause. AS the temporary
chairman raped for order, the report
of the committee on credentials was
called for. The committee had agreed
to report to the convention. against
seating of either the Devery or Good
win delegates In the Ninth New York
assembly district.
All other contests were settled III
favor Of the so-called Hill delegations.
Chairman McMahan said: in present
ing the report I move the previous
question" This was to prevent de
bate.
When the secretary read that in the
Ninth district of New York neither
delegation was entitled to seats in the
convention because of wholesale cor
ruption, a roar of cheers and Kisses
went up and as 1t continued Devery
made his way to the platform. When
he reached the platform he raised his
hands In effort to stop the pandemon-
ium that reigned. The sergeant-at-
arms with his hands on the big chiefs
shoulder tried to force him back to a
amid cheers: Democrats of this con-
vention, Samuel ]. Tilden was deprived
of his right of franchise as We're the
people of the United States. We do
not want that to occur here today.
Thru the work of clique in this con-
vention the people Of the Ninth district

"A Devery delegate got to the plat
form and attempted to speak, amidst
a tremendous uproar, but the sergeant
at-arms hustled him down the steps
and finally some semblance Of order
was obtained. Then Devery was un-
seated, four counties voting for his
retention.
Devery left the hall. followed by his
delegates and friends. The committee
on permanent organization made its re-
port and named Martin w. Litteton, of
Brooklyn for permanent chairman. His
speech was devoted to a criticism Of
Roosevelt's policy on trusts and the
tariff, as outlined in the latter's recent
speeches. The speaker quoted from
the tariff and ruling Of the board OF
general appraisers to show that the an-

and declared the present situation
caused by the coal strike was but q
of the irresistible power
of those protected moncpolies."

criticised for dilatory conduct and ac-
cused of not wanting to offend the
