tbe membership of Colonel
GuCey, of Pittsburg, in the national
committee, afforded a sensational epi
sode ln the opening session of the
convention when the case was refer,
red by Temporary Chairman Bell by
sheer power of the gavel, to the cre
dentiala committee, In spite! of vocif
erous demands ot Colonel Guffey and
his associates for a vote on tbe sub
Ject then and there. The denial of
a roll call by the chairman was the
subject of much discussion among tbe
delegates after the adjournment of
the convention, and It was made; plain
that when the matter comes before
the conventkm on tbe report of the
credentials , coismjtea, the outcome
will be anything but a foregone con
elusion.
Meanwhile, the committee on reso

snowed to beat advantage.
: Tbe convention officials after a short
conference, decided that no work
snould be undertake by the conveo

on the majority and minority reports,
it was agreed, should be limited to
thirty minutes on each aide. Tbe

The always diligent band in tbe gal.
lery was ln evidence early ln the ve-
clng, and worked away for the pleas
ure of tbe galleries, which were al
most filled before 8 o'clock. Appar
ently It was tbe opinion of most of
tbe; visitors that ) the night session
was to reveal a reproduction ot the
spectacular scenes enacted during the
day. Delegates were, however, of
anotber mind, arid bavlng wearied
themselves by their enthusiasm earl

ball with tbe same alacrity as was
shown by the public, i;

Shortly before midnight Wednesday
tbe democratic ; convention delivered
tbe scalp of Colonel James M. Guf

and then adjourned. The convention
sustained the majority report of the

against Guffey, by a vote of 615 to

the youthful orator, Ignatius J. Dunn,
of Omaha, advanced to Che platform.
He spoke in good voice, with great
earnestness, and to a sympathetic au.

of tribute to tbe Nebraska leader wltb
demonstrative evidence of approval.
His concluding passage was a fervid
