THE CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER.
At 12 :40 p. m (Chicago time) tlie conven
tion was called to order by ex Senator Bar-
iium, chairman of the national Democratic
committee. Prayer was offered by Iiev.
Dr. D C. Marques, of the Northwest Theo
logical seminary. He prayed for “blessings
on t)ds great assembly ot representative
citlxens, that they should be endowed
plentifully with that wisdom which in iirst
f ure, then peaceable and gentle and ea*y
» be entreated; that nothing should be
done tlirough strife or vain jealousy, but
that they should be filled with that charity
which Is not puifed up and doth not be
have itself unseemly. He prayed that
their deliberations would be guided to
such conclusions as would best promote
the glory of Uod and the welfare of the
nation
the temporary chairman introduced.
The chairman said:
"Gentlemen of the Convention: Harmony
stems to be the* sentiment of this conven
tion. Even the air seems saturated with
the desire and determination to nominate
a ticket for President and Vice Presi
dent which will be satisfactory to the North
and to the South, to the East and to the
West. Nay. more—a ticket which will
harmonize the Democracy throughout the
Union and insure a victory in November.
Harmony prevailed in the deliberations of
the national committee. No effort was
made to nominate a temporary chairman
in the Interest of any candidate, but, on
the contrary, the effort was to select one
who would preside over the deliberations
of this body with absolute impartiality. In
that spirit and to that end, I have been di
rected by the unanimous vote of the na
tional committee to name the Hon. Rich
ard B. Hubbard, of Texas, for temporary
diairman of this convention. As many as
favor the election of Hon. R B. Hubbard
for temporary chairman will say 'Aye;’
contrary, no!' Hon. R. B. Hubbard, of
Texas, is unanimously elected temjiorary
chairman of this convention. (The chair
'iere appointed Senator B. F. Jonas, of
i/fthiuna, Hon. Geo. T. Barnes, of Ueor-
gia, and Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, of New
Y*-rk, a committee to wait upon Mr. Hub
tiard and c> induct him to the chair, i Gen
tlemen of the convention, I have the dis
tinguished honor of presenting to this
convention Hon. Richard B. Hubbard, of
Texas, elected us an absolutely impartial
temporary chairman of this convention.”
chairman hcudard's speech.
Mr. Hubbard, in taking the chair, gave
thanks for the honor done him. and wnich
tie accepted not as a tribute to himself but
* a compliment to the great State from
tiich he came—a State which is absolutely
cosmopolitan in every fibre. The Demo
cratic party in all its elements was the same
is it was when founded by the framers
of the constitution, nearly three-quarters
of a < entury ago. Men died as leaves in
autumn, but the principles underlying
liberty and self government were eternal,
and the principles that underlay the Deni-
cratic party could not perish from the
earth, although their authors migit cease
t * be. [Applause. 1 The Democratic party
was to-day as much a party organized
tor aggressive war as when victory perched
upon its banners. The Democratic party
h id now the House of Representatives,
ami would have the Senate but for treason
in the Senate chamber itself. [Cheers.]
It would have bad the Presidency, too,
but for the hands of robbers, who
•truck down the expressed will ol
the people by means of perjury,
bribery and corruption. The Presidency
had been stolen from the Democratic party
t»y men uttering falsehoods through pale
lips and chattering teeth. Many of the
men who hud participated in tlint crime
hud passed on beyond the river, thefe to
give an account of their stewardship. That
stealing of the Presidency w-is the greatest
crime in our history. Hie great leaders of
the ,-arty (Tilden and Hendricks), with the
dignity which became heroic patrio's, had
miiitteii with the courage of tuen who

lit-hor lens of Hie government shall ho

urged that whatever candidates were
nominated should be supported loyally,
daolariag that he who would not so sup-
|Mirt them could ot be a good Democrat
a id hardly a patriot.
Th»chairman said: Gentlemen of the
convention, there is a further report from
the national committee, which will now be
* ibmitted for the action of the body.
Secretary Prince, of Massachusetts,
said: The national Democratic committee
makes the following report on temporary
organization: For temporary chairman.
Hon. Richard B. Hubbard, of Texas; for
temporary secretary, Frederick 0. Prince,
of Massachusetts;assistant secretaries, E.
Merritt of Illinois, Leo. 0. Guthrie of
Pennsylvania, G. L. Johnson of Iowa,
Robert M. Bashfoi Jof Wisconsin. Charles
M. Vallandingham of Missouri, W. H. J.
Lviiii of Tennessee, Michael I). Barrett of
New Jersey; reading clerks, T. O. Wa ker
of Iowa. Thos,S. Pettit of Washington,
D. C„ Nicholas H. Bell of Missouri, James
K. Morrison of New York, II. 8. Bryan of
Delaware; official stenographer, Edwin P.
Dickerson, of New \ ork; sergeant-at-arms,
Richard J Bright, of Indiana.
The report was adopted unanimously.
THE STRUOtiLE COMMENCES.
Mr. Smalley, a member of the national
committee, ottered a resolution that rales
of tUe last Democratic convention shall
govern this body, except that in voting
for candidates no State should be allowed
to change its vote until the roll of the
States bad been calted and until every
Newspapers might bo bought to print in
their columns that the seventy-two solid
votes from New York would be cast for one,
candidate, but there was no power to make
that so. [Cries of “Hi 1 Hi '.J There were
resolute men in the New York delegation,
who would not only give their reasons why
one candidate should not get the nomina
tion, but would have the right to give their
votes to that candidate whom they thought
would be elected. [Hi! Hi! and opposing
hisses from the galierie8.J
Mr. Harris, of Virginia, made the point
of order that the discussion was not in
order pending the temporary organization
of the convention, but thepoiut was over
ruled by the chairman.
Mr. Grady continued his speech. He
said that when the New York delegation
left that S ate it was understood their
votes would be decided on the way, but by
political combinations the people's wih
was sought to be interfered with, and as
they made this, the only protest they could
make, they made it for the honor of the
party and for the honor - of the country,
and so that New York might take its place
in the Democratic column. He hoped that
tills conven'ion would adopt the old Dem
ocratic method—let every man speak his
sentiments and vote for bis sentiments, and
then, whatever sentiment prevails, all
would give it a hearty support. [Cheer*.]
He admitted that the State convention of
New York had adopted a resolution in fa
vor of the unit rule,and he had not opposed
:t because he believed the choice of the
majority would be what it was not to day.
I Laughter.] The fact still remains that,
whatever was done in the New York State
convention, it could not control the action
of the national Democracy. There was no
power in the convention that could make
the reporting secretary place a lie in the
minutes ot the convention and falsifv its
proceedings. If the chairman of the dele
gation announced twenty-four of his col
leagues as voting for certain candidates
for whom they had already announced
their intention not to vote, if
the secretary so reported them,
he and his colleagues would be reported as
voting in the affirmative, which their lips
denied, uud that would be an outrage on
free apeecii.
Hon. J. R. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, said
the question was a fundamental one.
That question was, has the State the right
to pea • f*»r itself or not in the election of
a President of the United States? The
State always has spoken as a unit. It
could do so in no other way. In naming
a man to be elected President of the United
States, should he not be chosen in the same
way that he is elected—that ia, by the voice
of the several States voting as a unit? The
Democratic party must defend the consti
tution and the rights of 8tates as well.
This convention should be slow to interfere
with the powers of a State over its de e-
gates. By the Federal constitution it is
provided that votes for President
should be by States, and that the voice of
a state should be decided by its electors.
Gen. Cluny, of California, said his dele
gation had come all the way from Califor
nia to vote for the greatest political re
former of the age, Samuel J. Tilden.

implished that and having also pointed
out to them the danger of what they
were going to do, we have no other
recourse, no other opportunity but to a;>-
peal to the Democratic convention to give
to the Democratic delegates from Ihe
great Empire State of New York an op
portunity to vote for their choice in this
convention. The gentleman says that
there are no precedents for the position
assumed by Mr Grady. My recollection
back to the convention of 1844. The
very same question came up in that con
vention, and with the good teeling and lib
erality which prevailed among the del*,
gates it waB conceded that no man ever

The Chair—“The question now recurs
upon the adoption of itva original resolu
tion, the amendment being declared lost.”
The resolution was then adopted by a
tiro voce vote, the-roll call having been
dispensed with.
Resolutions were adopted providing for
the announcement of the members of the
committees upon credentials, permanent
organization and resolutions upon a single
roll-call. The roll was then called and the
names of me., bers ot the committees, as
already announced, were read as the States
were called. The convention then ad
journed tUl 11 o'clock to-morrow.

Mr. Orady, of New York, oflered as an
amendment the following: "And when

chairman ot the delegation of inch State,
U challenged by any member ot the dele
gation then the secretarr ahall cell the
name, of the lndieidurldelegates from thc
Mtate. and their Individual pretereocea as
rxpn-Med shall be recorded for the vote of
■uch State.” I Laughter and applause].
John It. Fellows, of Xew York, eald
that the convention of his State had di
rected that. In compliance with Immemo
rial usage in that State, toe sentiment of
its majority ahould be flrat ascertained,
and that that baring been done, the vote of
the Xew York delegation ahould thereafter
be cait aa a unit. The convention of Xew
York having placed upon iu delegation
that trust, be challenged the right ot thta
convention to atrip the Xew York deli
tion of the right thereby conferred,
aeld inch action would not pats without a
protest from at leaat some of the members
of tint body. The speaker then read the
instruction! to act aa a unit pasted by the
Saratoga convention.
Mr. Fellowe continued by saying that aa
far •• he was concerned 4>e thought the
method by which the vote of the delega
tion ahould be ceat -tumid be governed by
New York 8tate, which had the right to
command in her State convention that
every member from that state tn thla con
vention should vote tor the enforcement
S r the unit rule. The delegation itself bail
eclared by more than a two thirds ma
jority that its chairman should evpreaa
the will ol the State by cast vigils seventy-
two vote, u one, and he hade the conven
tion pause before they struck down ruth
lessly the expressed will of the sovereign
State of Xew York, as given tn the resolu
tion which he had propowd.
Mr. Winzie, of Indiana, offered as
amendment to the amendment that no
Stale shall change its vote until the result
of the ballot baa been announced.
Mr. Grady, of Xew York, apokeinanp-
port of his amendment. He claimed that
the delegation from Xew \orlt bad been
misrepresented in thla matter. There was
great danger, ha said, that through the
power and influenciof political machinery
the hmuat and truthfnl opinion of Xew
York might not have lie prop* t force bar*.
Speaking to the queition at issue, be said
the delegates from Xew York had been
elected by districts and at large, and it
would be an outrage upon the minority
not to permit them to vote according to
the wishes of their constituents. In the
name of justice, decency and fair dealing,
he called upon the convention to permit
the district delegates to vote In accordance
with the wishes ot those who chose them
Mr. Powcss. of Michigan, adoveated the
amendment offered by Mr. Grady. Why,
he asked, should a man be presented as a
reform candidate and an attempt be made
to nominate him by machine methods.
[Applause.l
Mr. Harrison, of Illinois, argued that If
the State of New York hail instructed its
delegates to vole is a unit and they (ailed
so to vote, they would be disobeying their
State; but this convention bail nothing to
do W’th that [Applause] lie would
probably be found voting differently from
Grady on the question of candidatei, but
he wan ed loyalty.
When Carter Harrison ceased speaking,
about 400 delegates lumped to their feet,
uml only after considerable effort did the
chair Anally succeed In announcing that
Mr. Jaoubs. of Xew York, haid the floor.
Mr. Jacobs laid: “I am one of the mi
nority of the Xew York delegation. As
one £ the minority I exercised my privi
lege of voting against the choice or the
majority, bat as a Democrat, at a tuan
loyal to my constituents and obedient to
the orders of the convention that sent me
here. I bow to the will of the majority.
[Applause.) I recollect very well, sir, that
at the Saratoga convention this matter
waa thoroughly discussed, and the chair
man of the delegation, whom I antagon
ized there, promtied his friends that there
should be no attempt made to Instruct
this delegation for a particular candidate,
and the minority agmd. We should obey
the old rule, the unit rale, of the State of
Xew York, whi:b gives it power and a
voice in thla convention. [Applause.]
"Were I, sir, to consult mv personal
feelings, I should support the motion
made by the gentleman (rom Xew York;
bat my daty to my party in this emer
gency compels me to rise superior to per.
aonal considerations and be loyal to my
|>arty japplausej, and in saying what I
‘'Mr" Orady. oi Xew York-"Will the
gentleman allow me a moment?”
Mr. Jacobs—"Certainly."
Mr. Grady—"I simply want to aak the
distinguished Senator (rom Xew York
State If in the Btate convention at Saratoga
there waa a single word of debate, discus
sion or argument as to the unit mis?”
Mr. Jacoba-“Xot a word, because every-
ody had agreed to it in advance.”
At this reply there was, a tremendous
outburst of derision and laughter, with
some applause from the Xew York section.
Mr. Jacobs—"And, Mr. Chairman, now
that the distinguished Senator has inter
rupted me, I wAI say further that it waa
understood by the friends of another can
didate than the one choeen by the majority
that if they would not attempt to enforce
instructions upon this delegation it would
be satisfactory to light the battle oat in iu
body, and we have done it. We are beaten.
We submit."
As Mr. Jacobs took hla seat the sqnare
outline o( John Kelly's (ace became visi
ble above the beads ot the Xew York dele
gation, and a yell arose (rom ell parte of
lion with » history ot Democratic conven
tions from that day to this, '-lit 1
hope thst this convention will take
into consideration this important
point, which I desire to present to them.
Suppose that you disfranchise those Dem
ocratic counties to which I have made ref
erence. what will he the feehnga of the
constituency that have sent their deputies
here to represent them, in view of the fact
that a majority of the delegates represent
ing Xew York ere Jn a minority in their
own counties. Will our voiccs'then, repre
senting a majority of the constituency, be
stifled in a Democratic convention? (ap
peal to the good sense, the liberal, sound
judgment and wisdom ol the dele
gates her# assembled to give
to all Democratic constitnencies
the same right which they expect for them
selves. Having, Mr. Chairman, said so
much, and not desiring to occupy the con
vention ony further upon the subject,
which I have stated to yon clearly, as I un
derstand it, I hope, as I said before, that
the question will meet with that liberality
which it deserve* from a Democratic con
vention." [Applause and cries oi “Ques
tion.”]
Mr. Fellows, of New York, again spoke
against Grady's amendment. There had
been, he said, an extraordinary miscon
ception oi the issue involved, ft did not
look to stifling the voice or misrepresent
ing the sentiment of any delegate. The
question was whether the State of Xew
York bsd the right to ssy how the will of
her majority should be indicated. She
would not permit her seventy-two separate
units to apeak seventy-two separate desires
on any question before the -convention.
She recognized the Democratic method of
asertainmg what her will was. bnt when
the will of the majority was ascertained
she bad the right to prescribe the form in
which that will should be expressed. He
asked Kelly how it was that they to > had
obtained credentials which permitted them
to be here at all.
Kelly replied that Fellows represented
one Democratic party in the city of Xew
York and he (Kelly)another.
Fellows suggested that they represented
only different organisations In the Demo
cratic party.
Kelly said that the gentleman's purpose
now was to ignore him (Kelly), and not to
allow him to vote in the convention, it
was against that that he (Kelly) protested
[Cheers.]
Fellows proceeded with his argument.
All that the majority oi the Xew York
delegates desired was to do what Iheir
State had instructed them to do—express
her sentiment in a certain prescribed
form. The convention should not take
away that right. It was a right dear to
the State of Xew York. II she were
stripped of that right, she would
feel degraded and dishonored. He de
clared that Kelly and himself were
in tender sympathy with each other. He
confessed that he had brighter hopes set
before him ot better methods and purer
forms whenhe heard from the lips of Kelly
and Grady such eloquent denunciation of
machins methods. [Laughter and ap
nuersto ■ •
rary chairman. Wm. R. Morrison,
of Illinois, was nominated for
manent chairman of the committee
on resolutions bv the tariff reform mem-
btrs and George L Converse, of Ohio, by
the protection element. A ballot was then
taken on the nominations, resulting in 18
votes for Morrison, against 18 tor Converse
This time vote caused something oi a sen
sation among the members, and another
ballot was ordered, which resulted
exactly in the same way. It
being apparent that there was
a deadlock in the committee, it was agreed
that Temporary Chairman llay should act
as chairman curing the formation of the
platform, but that when that work waa
done the committee should elect a perma
nent chairman whose duty it will be to
present the resolutions to the convention.
Chat with a member of the anti-tariff
wing of the committee elicited the infor
mation that the representatives of the
States of Korth Carolina, Alabama, Mis
sissippi and Missouri had voted for Con
verse. The anti-tariff people had relied
upon these votes, and bad expected that
with a full committee the vote would stand
XS to 23 in favor of Morrison.
THE PEKMASEKT ORGAN IZATIOX.
The committee on permanent organiza
tion met this evening and decided to recom
mend to the convention the name of Col.
W. F. Vilas, of Wisconsin, for permanent
chairman, and that the remaining officers
of the temporary organization be made
permanent.
A BOMOK AS TO TILtJZX.
A rumor was current late last night that
when the the time for nominating
Jheeches arrives, John Kelly will present
the name oi Tdden. Owing to the late
ness of the hour, it was impossible to get
either conflrmation or denial of the state-
meat, -
SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
Chicago, July 9.-The committee on
platiorm remained in session until after
midnight, but no progress was made, as
the U me was entirely taken ap in the recep
tion of various memorials and addresses,
smong them being one from A. M. Sulli-
an, presidentof the Irish National League
of America, on "Absentee Landlords in
the United States.” Abram S. Hewitt, of
Xew York, Mr. Morrison, oi Illinois, and
Bailer, of Massachusetts, gave notice that
they would submit platforms to-morrow
for discussion in tho committee. There
was no mention of the tariff during last
night's session. The two members of the
committee absent when the organization
was effected in the early part of the even-
lug were General Butler and Thomaa F.
Flnlon, of Kausas. General Butler made
his appearance later in the evening. The
committee adjourned until 10 o'clock this
morning.
The Texas headquarters at the Grand
Pacific hotel waa largely visited hut night.
Governor Hubbard, the temporary chair
man, stood at the end of the room while
hundreds of delegates and visitors, includ
ing many iadiea, passed through and were
presented to him. Towards 10 o'clock the
rooms were so crowded that admittance
was refused. Denial Manning and Dele
gate Fellows, of New York, addressed the
delegates in behalf of Cleveland, quaking
strong appeals for their candidate. ' Sene-
tor Lamar made a short speech in reply,
dwelling upon the interests of the South.
No formal poll of the Texas delegation baa
been made, but careful inquiry last night
indicated that Bayard had eighteen and
Cleveland (our, while four delegates (rank
ly admit they ere undecided. It la not be
lieved that Texas will vote as a inifor
the reason that the recent State conven
tion at Fort Worth abolished the two-
thirds rule in State and county matters;
hence the delegation does not feel warrant
ed in exercising the majority rule to invoke
a solid vote in the convention. Temporary
Chairman Hnbbard'a vote in his delegation
waa recorded In favor of •attaining th.
unit rale. After Bayanl, Texas ie almost
unanimously for Thnrmsn.
As the hour approaches for the meeting
of the convention, it ia more apparent that
the opponents of Cleveland will make an
other attempt to break the unit rale, and
plauie.l They all understood that every
thing which they did in New York was a
spontaneous outcropping of the popular
will ilaoghterl, and that the hand of arbi-
‘ ary power never controlled their political
ethods. In conclusion, he asked whether
the national convention wouid strip New
York oi (her power in thla matter. [Cries
Sir Bragg, of Wisconsin, regarded the
question aa one whether an attorney
with delegated powers would be
permitted to violate and exceed those
powers, and whether the convention, alt-
ting as a judge on that question, would
recognize each violation and be bonnd
by it.
Mr. Burt, of Louisiana, spoke of the
quarrels and controversies and claims of
the two Democratic factions of New York,
end took the same view of the queition aa
that presented by Mr. Bragg, u( Wiscon
sin. If it would bo an outrage, he aaM, to
deprive individuals of the right to their
own choice, it would be a still greater out
rage to deprive a great 8tate of her voli e
in the convention. He moved to lay Gra
dy's amendment on the table.
After some parliamentary objections, the
motion to lay on the table was withdrawn
and the previous question waa moved and
the convention proceeded to vote on the
amendment of Mr. Grady, of New York,
requiring that the individual preferences
of the delegates to be recorded as the vote
of the State.

When the quetUon wee put on Grady's

REPORT ON CREDENTIALS.
Mr. Taylor, of Arkansas—“I desire to
submit the report of the committee on cre
dentials, which is now ready.”
The report was si-ut up to the desk to be
read. r t is aa follows:
**Tv the Ilonoeable Chairman and Mem
bers of the yational Qrnrention: Your
committee on credential beg ie tve to sub
mit the following report and recommend
its adoption, as following names as the
roll of th* convention. [On motion the
reading of the roll was dispensed with.
The secretary resumed the reading of the
report:] In the Massachusetts contest.
^ ^aring in the Twelfth Congressional
trict, your committee, after a Tull inves
tigation of the facts, unanimously recom
mend that the parties, Jos. Caller, K Me-
Lamed, A. L. Parry and Geo. H. Black,
be admitted to this eonve«*t«?», and •*<?»»
shall be entitled to one-half a vote. Your
committee unanimously recommend that
the following names of delegates
from the several territories embraced In
the call of the National Democratic Con
vention and the District of Columbia be
admitted to the floor of thie convention,
participating In its deliberations, an i that
they be entitled to vote on all questions.”

"ftejolmf. That toe Territorial delegates
be not allowed to rote on the floor of this
convention.”
Mr. Randolph—”1 am one of the mem
ber* of that committee, and I submit that,
iu tha Territories tigve no vote in the elec.
tion, their delegates should have no votes
here.”
The Chair—“The question is upon the
amendment of the gentleman from New
Jersey.”
Judge McArthur, of Oregon—“Mr. Pres
ident and gentlemen of the convention, as
a representative of the Pac fie coast, as a
friend ot the people of the Territories and
as a Democrat, I raise my vuioe against
the motion and amendment offered by
the gentleman frum New Jersey. [Ap
plants. 1 It teems to me that every Dem
ocrat in this broad land, from At
lantic to Pacific, from the lakes
to the levees, has a living, vital
interest in the proceedings of the conven
tion, and it would be unjust to the people
who are struggling to build up the terri
tories Into prosperous States to adopt this
convention. Its import and value lay not
in the hone of a mere party victory, in
cluding the spoils of office. The opportu
nity was pregnant with mighty possible
ties of good to men. The Republic *n party,
which had recently held its con
vention here, had tendered
nothing worthy of the fervant
aspirations of the people. To a country re
joicing in restored unity and concord it
tendered the renewal of sectional strife j
to a nation that felt the impulie of mighty
growth, it offered inspiration of a national
calamity and misfortune: to a proud and
sensitive people demanding deliverance
from dishonoring corruption, demanding
decency in seeking and cleanness in holding
public station, it offered the guilty dodges
of skillful demagoguery. In political par
lance, “aoap” was its inspiration and am
munition. The air was already filled with
the vapors of visionary schemes addressed
to various interests and factions. Some
were encouraged to expect advantage from
the chaotic possibilities of a foreign war;
others were promised relief or gain from
legalized raids on the national treasury.
A great change had been wrought in re
cent years in this country iu the minds of
the people and in political forces. We have
ceased to fight our suicidal war of slavery.
The work accomplished by those
labored to save the union remains undis
turbed and the gratitude of the people is
their reward.”
At this point General Butler entered the
hall and was heartily applauded.
The speaker, resuming, said that the
country had heard repeated promises of
reform from the party in power, but had
been disappointed until theie was a crow
ing conviction that the only hope lies in
the utter defeat of that party—and there i3
but one hope. It is vain to look to ony
new party organization. In the wisdom
and patriotism of the Democracy here as
sembled is the only hope of relief. Tim
party is adequate to the great responsi
bility. It is the party of Jefferson an([
Jackson to-dav as formerly, and the prin
ciples they promulgated are its principles
now. It Is the party of the people, of
ecunomy and honesty intheadministra-
ti'in <if th* covernment. It has shaken off
evil and tlme-serviug men, and has en-
lisn-d from the ranks of its oppo
nents the best and purest. The
Democracy am ready to continue such
exchange. In conclusion, he advised mod
eration in their action and bespoke gener
ons forbearance for himself in the dis
charge of his dutie«.

Upon the awouacement ol the vote of
Xew York, diraoes, there WES loud ap
plause. Senator Grady sprang to hi' feet
end endeavored to attract the attention of
the chair. He was met with a perfect
storm of bleaet from the gallery anJ audi
ence generally. He still continued to hold
the floor and end*arand to attract tha at
tention ol tb* cbtlr. The uproar became
»> great that nothing could be done. The
chair refused to bear Grady until after the

roar waa at it* highest, Senator Grady en
deavored to nuke himself beard and

The chair—"The gcnUemoa is not In

As soon as Grady understood the posi

would not be followed until alter the ballot
had been concluded, he eat down and tho
gallery delegate* then concluded to allow

of tb* call of States and before the voce
