chairs aud yelled, Many members 81
the New York delegation joined M the
cheering, but majority remained IN
their seats. Minnesota ard Delaware
were conspicuous exceptions TO the
general celebration The applause was
relaxing somewhat when the band
poured oil on the FIRE by striking NJ
"DIxIe." and instantly the verbal flame |
was burning hereely aud brighter than
before.

the stage where there was a grouping
OF the states II was Wild rush to
the platform. in which there was con

around the hall. In the midst OF the
riot OF noise and the confusion OF
marching delegates the constant boom

At the night session the report OF the |
committee ON credentials was received !
and accepted amid spirited debate
over the unseating OF the Guffey dele
gates The chief arguments of the
Gufreyites against being unseated were
as follows:
First.--That there was no evidence adj I
dnced by the contestants before the com q
mittee to support their claim to said
seats [
Second.--That the contestants produced I
no credentials conducting TO accredit them (
In any way 10 membership in this conven- a

Third.-That they made no protest o, I
appeal TO any convention OF the Demo- O
cratic party Of Pennsylvania or to any v
tribunal or functioEary OF said party or e
TO any court In said state, as provided Il
by the primary election law Of the state.
Guffey's opponents claimed that he !
was IN league with the Republican Or 8
ganization In Pennsylvania and that he 2
procured hundreds Of Republicans to i
vote at Democratic primaries.
Prior TO the vote on the Guffey mat Il
