 The task of delivering his address it was apparent was telling somewhat on MT. Clayton. He is speaker of em- phatic forcefu1 delivery, and the heat fin the hall was great. His face was streaming and his collar was rapidly losing its shape under the constant flow of precipitation that drenched his face. His energy. however, was abated despite his fatigue and he continued steadily. save for occasional periods during which he wiped his glasses and mopped his forehead.
 While the demonstration in honor of MT. Clayton was in progress the doors of the convention hall were opened and the Jefferson Club of St. Louis was admitted for parade through the aisles. At the head of the line was blue banner bearing David R Francis, for vice president It elicited much to counter-march in the narrow sisles pareiling the stage. and dangerous congestion was averted only by sharp commands of the sergeant at-arms urging the club to proceed out of the opposite door. John W. Kern of Ind iana. offered a motion providing for the appointment of committee of on resolutions would be ready to rec port the platform.
 The motion was adopted and the chair appointed as the committee. Messrs Kern, of Indiana, Pace, of Ala barna. and Mack of New York.

 Mir. Littleton caught the fancy of the audience. and his remarks that whatever was the outcome of the con- vsntion, New York would support the platform and the nominees. provided a shrfek of approval. All over the hall, delegates sprang to their feet, many of the New York delegation taking part In the demonstration. Chas F. Murphy. remained quietly in his seat. but nod ded his head in assent.

 Mir. Littleton's brief but eloquent ad- dress was loudly cheered.
