pointment of the committees on ere
dentials, rules and permanent organic

tation of resolutions Of respect for the
memory Of Grover Cleveland. Judge

Parker draft owing to the feeling ere-
ated by Its early provisions, It win

ings win be brief, and after the pre-.
liminary organization is effected an
adjournment will be taken as mark
of respect to Mr.. Cleveland.
