BETTER ORDER TODAY.
The order maintained in the conven-
tIon hall this morning was a great ina
movement over yesterday although the
proceedings were heard with difficulty
fhe first business was the presentation
and adoption of the report of the. COM
mIttee on rules. The question OF rep
rssentatlon of the insular possessions
on the floor Of the convention az Chica-
no. and that instance was duplicated
this morning.
DEVELOPMENTS OF THE NIGHT.
The DEVELOPMENTS Of the night aroused
wen greater interest in the convention,
having much to be anticipated, Many
II the delegates worked late into the
light ON committee with subsequent
has OF sleep. The credentials commit
ZEE did not adjourn until after four this
morning, while the subcommittee on
psolutions labored until after midnight.
An interesting feature before the Gre
entails committee was the appear
,nee OF William ]. Bryan, after the IL
lnois contest had been disposed Of.
Ne asked for n reconsideration that he
night make n minority report, They
mled that no reconsideration was nee
esary and Mr. Bryan was told to
make his minority report He asked
those members who would sign II to
aSnd, and the delegates from Oklaho-
ma, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Rhode
Island arose. This action foreshadowed
fight on the floor. The committee
Nstaned the action Of the national
@mmittee in all Of the contested cases
ave that from the Twenty-first Illinois
district
BAILEY DECLINES.
Another development of the night
vas the decllnation of Senator Bailey of
Texas to accept the permanent chair
nsnshlp. He stated that he desired to
N on the floor when the platform was
vnder discussion, The place was ten-
dered to Champ Clark of Missouri
whose address was awaited with keen
Interest, as he is known TO be a good
public speaker.
The appearance Of Mr.. Bryan on the
floor was looked for when the commit
lee on credentials should report, in view
y the big battle in prospect between
NE orators Of the convention over the
contests carried to the convention to be
tttled
SLOW IN COMING.
At 10 o'clock, the time set for the
P,nlng Of the second days session Of
lle convention not 100 delegates were in
w hal There was general antlcipa-
un mat the session would be brief and
e' over exciting, the knowledge that
He resolutions committee would not DO
hady to report; the fact that Mr..
BIyan, a member OF that committee,
was anxious TO mix up In the struggle
V,er the report OF the committee on Gre
ushuals and could not do so as long as
was working on the resolutions all
combined TO kill off interest for those
wnowere in possession OF any informa-
uon OF the minor workings OF the con-
.eauon ThN visitors however, were
NV IN greater force than yesterday and
