Territorial Delegates.

The New York Sun objects to the
territories having voting delegations
in national conventions. That paper
says that the territories are given
too much power, and cites two recent
examples. When Mr.. Cleveland was
nominated in 1892 he secured the nee
essary two-thirds vote in the con-
vention through a deal between the
late William c. Whitney and the del
egates from Arizona and New Mexico.
In exchange for the vote of New
ney promised that New Mexico should
be admitted as a state in the union
early in Cleveland's administration
For Arizona Mr.. Whitney promised
that the several delegates from Ari-
zona should have the federal offices
they had staked out-this delegate
to be governor, that delegate to be
United States marshal, and SO on.
Incidentally, the promises made TO
the Arizona 00l0SdIlOH were ACH6iOuo
" fulfilled. The patriots from that
territory got the jobs they were after.
In later years when bitterly upbraid-
ed by gentlemen from New Mexico
and charged with having acted in bad
faith as to that territory. Mr.. Whit
ney protested that he had been una
bic to carry out the statehood bar
gain. 1t has always been believed
that if the votes of these two terri
tories had not gone to Mr.. Cleveland
ON that ballot his following would
have disintegrated on the next ballot
and somebody else would have been
nominated eventually.

st. Louis, Mo-. July THE Demo
cratic national convention re-conyen
ed today. entering upon the second
days session. The stirring scenes of
yesterday had the effect of heighten
ing the interest and the crowd began
to gather earlier. Many of the dele
gates worked late into the night on
committees with consequent loss of
sleep. The credentials committee did
not adjourn until after four o'clock
this morning, while the sub-commit-
tee on resolutions labored until after
midnight One of the developments
of the night was the declination of
Senator Bailey to serve as permanent
chairman. He stated that he wished
of the resolutions was under way.
The place was rendered to Champ
Clark of Missouri.
Temporary Chairman Williams was
given a round of applause when he
his long speech yesterday. AS soon
as he had secured silence in the
convention he introduced Archbishop
John J. Glennon of ST. Louis, who de-
livered the invocation. The report Cf
the committee on rules and order of
business was adopted without discus
sion. The report concerning Porto Ri
CO and the Philippine islands and
according to the delegates from Porto
Rico seats was next read. An amend
ment was offered for the report to in
clude the Philippines, and caused con
siderable discussion, it being conten-
ded that the Philippines were not a
part of the United States. and that
the Democrats hoped some day would
have a president of it's own. The COM
mite defended its report on the
ground that the United States SUI
preme Court had declared Porto Rico
a part of the United States and that
the Philippines were not part of
the United States The motion to in
clude the Philippines was withdrawn,
and after some more debate the re-
port OF the committee was adopted
The chairman announced that the
permanent organization committee
was not ready to report. The com
mittee on credentials announced that
it would not be ready to report until
two O'Clock this afternoon. The con
vention then decided to take recess
until this afternoon.
The committee on permanent org
anization, which met just before the
close OF the morning session of the
convention formally elected Champ
Clark of Missouri as permanent chair
man and Clark accepted.
The subcommittee on resolutions
continued its work on the platform
today, but was slow in getting to bu-
siness Bryan and one or two others
were absent, but the committee de-
cided to proceed with the questions
in which the absent members were
not especially Interested. According
ly the irrigation plank presented by
Senator Newlands was taken up and
the Nevada senator presented its me
rits. It was tentatively accepted. Con
sideration of proposed statehood
