The chair then appointed J. E. Russell, G. W. Hull, R. E. McGillen. O. L. Geer, George D. Morris, Thos Marmont, Frank Alters, Reanos Thompson, R. T. Brown and David Hopkins.
 On motion of P. W. O'Sullivan, the chair appointed the following Committee on Permanent Organiza- ton and Order of Business: P. w. O'Sullivan, Ed. Mahurin, Dr. R. N. Looney, James O'Brien, William Ol- iver, Ben F. Rybon, W. S. Adams, Joseph Drew, G. S. Lapham, M. E. Perkins and George Merritt. NJ. G. Cunniff moved for the ap- pointment of a committee of thirteen on Platform and Resolutions, but someone realized that the number was unlucky, and the motion was amended to increase the list to if teen, despite the objection of Judge Hawkins, who was of the opinion that the committee was so large that the platform might as well be con- sidered in a committee of the. whole. "I don't know where all tnese com mittees have been made," said he, "nor how it was done. If you send out a committee of twenty-five there will be some man in the bunch who will have a platform already written, in his pocket" Hawkins's wishes did not prevail. The canary was minus few more feathers.
 The chair then named as the plat form architects: M G. Cunniff, J. J. Hawkins, J. F. Wilson, J. J. Sand CTS, George Morgan, Perry Hall, John Lawler, William Craftsman, Morris Goldwater, Patsy Houlihan, William Stephens, c. J. Kimball, c. B. Coul- son, Chester Diekerson, Reanos Thompson.
 A recess was then taken until 1:30 P. III.
 Afternoon Session.
 When the Convention reassembled in the afternoon, J. E. Russell pre- sented the report of the Committee on Credentials, and objection was raised by Tom Marmont as to the proxy of W. T. Baker of Junction, held by Ed. Mahurin. It was his understanding that it had been thrown out by the committee. There was some talk about giving the proxy to George Merritt, but W. S. Adams, the political boss of Jerome, declared that the convention could not delegate the vote of any mem Der. Finally the dispute was set tied by adopting the report after striking out that portion referring to the Baker proxy.
