 a woman seated in the rear of the press seats tainted away. It was out of the question to carry her out through the damned aisles, and it was found neces- sary to lift her bodily over the railing of one of the boxes and she was only car ried to the outside with the greatest 1lf- ficulty.
 q am sure the convention will be glad to concur in the request of Missouri to hear from Old Champ Clark of that state, one of the knightliest democrats who ever drew gllttering blade in defense of the party"
 It was in these words that Chairman Clayton introduced the next speaker, whose appearance on the platform was a signal for great cheering. MT. Clark pre- dicted that the democrats would sweep the country from sea to sea, that on March next a democratic President wodld be inaugurated, backed by demo- c,atic House, and the people would then come into their rights.
 The galleries, with a profound ignor- ance of the manner In which the conven- tion should be managed, broke in with cries of Vote" "vote!'
 Report Deferred.
 When quiet was restored, the chair recognized Representative Ollie James of Kentucky of the committee sent to as- certain the probability of an early report from the committee on resolutions. MT. James reported that the committee would not be ready to report before midnight.
