After the district caucuses and the COM.
binatlon district caucuses had finished
their work, along towards daylight this
morning, the convention itself had plain
enough sailing. When the chairman's
gavel fell at 10 clock this morning the
whole business had already been done.
and all the business before the august
body was a kind Of oratorical or pyro-i
technical or pyrotechnical oratorical en-
dorsemcnt OF what had been done. s
Bottled Oratory.
"a lot OF oratory had been bottled up.
for the occnsl on. # It came here bottled
and it had been sizzlng and fizzing for
several days, and there had been much
n4the matter OF temporary environment
to add to Its size, X to make II boil over,
ias It were, and Il every. ora tor, Il was Just
bursting to unload. 81 ES @s
The mountains OF Virginia are prolific
OF Il rators-gopd, bad I. and Indifferent
many Of them very good as noun ntain ora Y
tory goes. and the mountains sent several
carloads OF them here to this convention
to ''unload their load = ns the end man in
the minstrel show would say. Up to this
day the business OF the conven ton was
indeed business a nd may add In paret1- =
theses, 1t stuck to business III
Il 1t seems to have assembled for bus-
ness, and precious little opportunity was
afforded the mountain orators to unload.
The real business OF the convention was
transacted Il In committee rooms. in the,
night SnOurS,5S OeLWGell suHs. uHu v ~ ~ was
we'll and judlciously done, In these COM
mittee meetings. these private room cau- cau
c,ises, there was no showing for the ora :
tors, but they had been promised chance,
and the promise was met in to-day's ses-
sion OF the convention. The orators had
their inning In the nominating and sec
ondlng speeches. and they nude the most

The Proceedings. 8 55s5
The convention opened up on schedule
time and got down to business without
delay. ut had very little business out
side OF tho schedule to do. The eau c,lses
OF last night had fixed tho sch cdule all
right, and every little train and car
&trotted right In on schedule time.
That is n mighty good way to 40 coi,-'
yentlon business a way to insure har-
nfony: Democrats can learn much from
Republtcans IL they will do II. Repuhli-
cnns nght out their fight in committee
room. and nobody ever heard iof q grand
.nry investigating the final results OF g Re-
nubllcan convention or a. Republican prl-
mnry. There was a night, nnFaw fulf fgh,t,
almost bloody fight. but the whole bus'-
ness was fought out around the family
fresIde last night and tho public Is none 4,
