Tho lattur carried tho convention into-the night Both wero turbulent and noisy, but tho tumult was confined to the delegates on tho floor, tho gallorlcs licitig practically empty. A bitter fooling mani fested Itself among tho "middlo of tho road" faction which found vout In several wild demonstrations and counter demon strations. Tho morning session was a virtual blank so far us buslno9 was con cerned. Tho roport of tho committee on credentials was not ready, and tho conven tion listened to a barltono from Oklahoma and a sweet singer from Arkansas render somo campaign pnrodlcs on popular bal lads.

Somo of their followers refused to stand uy tnem, ana tho result was defeat by a voto of 005 to 012. It wus then 0 o clock, and tno "mid' dlo of tho road" loaders attempted to se cure an adjournment, hoping that tho or feet of tho victory could lio turned to iu count before tho dologutos reassembled, but tho effort failed. At exactly 8:80 Temporary Chalrmon Butlor rapped tho convention to order and announced that tho committee on orodon tints would ubmlt a roport, and Delegate W'ardoll, of California, chairman of the committee, road tho report Tho portion relative to delegations where there woro no contosts was acreod to, and then tho trou bla boiran. Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, moved that tho convention tnke up tho contosts in alphabetical order or suites. Aftor many objootlons tho motion pre vailed.

The mooting con vened shortly after 8 o'clock nnd Was hold in secret, tho public and press tieing ex cluded. Tho chief cause for the secrecy was mat Ujmptrollcr Eckels, who wns oxpoctod from Washington, win gen erally understood to carry in his vest poonot tho .wishes of the present adminis tration regarding 11 conventlonand a third ticket, nnd it was desired to give him oil posslblo opportunity to say .what Mr Cleveland desired without ltlelng trio extensively advertised. It was genarally admitted that the Wishes of tho administration would go Jar toward determining whether or not there should lie another ticket in the field, but many of the visiting Democrats had. no hosjtntlon In saying that a tlckot would lie put up in spite of everything. Telegrams were received nnd read at tho conference from prominent Dcitiocrnto'all over tho country, strongly Indorsing tho movement for another ticket. Comptroller Eckels did not appear, and tho incetlng, after waiting somo time far him, went Into session. General B. . Bragg', of Wisconsin, was eloctcd cluiir man and C. A. Kwing, of Illinois, pecre- tury. Tho conference definitely decided that n convention should lie called, tho only question Jielug whether the meeting should issue tho call, and on this u lively debate ensued. Q, M. Davis, of Kentucky, proscntedUho principal reasons calling for a convention to bo held on Sent 1. In Detroit 1L H. KobMns, of Illinois, did not fns'or tho issue of 11 call by this meeting, and It K. Ivnatt, of Kentucky, spqko strongly In favor of calling tho convention ut once. Senator Vilas, of Wisconsin, violently opposed tho issuing of a call by tho con ference. HisMieoch wns frequently cheered. although tho general sentiment of tho meeting seemed to lncliuo tho other vsny. no laid: "If wo aro to havoun organization which shnll represent tho Democratic imrty; wo must recruit it from ovory. state In .the Union. Wo must not issue it call from a body too narrow to bo potential. Latji mills nieotlng Ira held in each state,. nnd let them nominate dologates to n national convontlon. Wo want all tho states rep resented when tho cull goes forth for tho convention. Then wo are sure of our ground and of our strength." Aftor a long dobnte a resolution was adopted to tho effect that it was tho sense of tho meeting that a Democratic conven tion should lie hold, u Democratic plat form, enunciated and candidates forjiruo dent and vice president rhoscn, and that said convention should be hold not later than Sept 2. A committee of 0110 from each state rep resented was appointed by tho chairman to draft a call for tho convention, with ordurs to report to tho general mooting today.
