Senator Wolcott of Colorado , In sneoklntr

Ho came from the state of West Vir

it was dinicult to conceive bow Urn flvo of

XX'urner Miller's Amault ,
Ex-Senator Miller ut Now York spoke for
tbo minority and as his first oolnt said that
bo had listened to many reports of the com
mittee on credentials but this was the llrst
tlmo ho had over heard a majority report
which gave no reason why it should bo
adopted except that It was the ma
jority report. H bad boon said
that the majority report was ) I to 30. That
was not BO , it was ! 2l to 28. Was ono majority
to outweigh everything olsot Tbo minority
bad given reasons and not ono speaker hod
given any facts to coutiovort tt. The national
committee , composed of the men who bad
led the party to victory last year
bad , after several days' dcllocratlon ,
given the four sitting members their
seats by8 to 21 , and it should bo sustained ,
unless tbo facts woio brought to impeach tbo
'
fuels of tha minority report , which 'had not
l > ccn done. Miller then closed by moving as
Q parliamentary motion that the Cogswell
report bo divided , and tbu present vote betaken
taken on tbo Alabama part alono. At this
point Clarkson and Plutt bold a mold
interchange at Plait's scat. No ono
who aw ll doubted that preparations were
in bund for the now evidently close comluj
of the first real test vote between thu Ulalno
nnd Harrison forces.
Chairman Cogswell said that , representing
the majority or the committee , ho "had stated
to tlio convention at the beginning that no
tlrnobad been bad to prepare the report. The
convention bud thouuhl best nevertheless
to call for an oral report "nnd now tbo gentlemen -
tlomon nro assailing tbo majority because it
imd.nol submitted I. formal argument lu
luvor of its leiiort. " Ho concluded by mov
ing the previous iiuestlon. nnd Immediately
the ( Jonmml for the previous question was
seconded by n majoilty of the delegation of
Mu&sai'husots , Dclawaio nnd West Virginia.
I''or ' u Separate Vote.
Senator Quay , rising to a parliamentary
question , wanted to Know the effect of the
previous question if It would onublo thorn

involved in the report.
Thu chair ruled that Senator Miller having

Wo appointed a commlttoo hero txvo days

tbo purpose of making up the list of this

titled to votes. That committee bas sat for
txvo days , nnd listened to tbo testimony , bus

from Missouri has passed upon the question
as a committee of ono , appointed by himself ,

Considerable discussion as to proccoduro

understanding that tbo goutluuirn from Noxv

tirely lost from sight-In tbo hilarious IV.aluo
demonstration ot Iho evening. Dolh , factions
turned out nud marched through the prin
cipal streets , and finally both headed for tbo
rotunda of tbo hotel. Thcro they mot and
marched around in circles to the tune of dis
cordant yells aud rival shouts for Hlalno and
Harrison. At the head of tbo Ulalno column
xvas a banner carried by nn Indiana mau ,
bouing the inscription :
"If Blalno Is Nomiuaicd Ho Will Carry
Indiana by Ten Thousand. "
Another Ulalno man carried a similar banner
nor , bearing thestlll moro irritating inscrip
tion :
11 If Harrison ls Nominated Ho Will Lose
Indiana by Txvonty Thousand. "
Tboso banners oxcltcd tbu Ire of tbo fiery
younger mon of Indiana. A sudden rush
xvas made , and before tbo Blnlno pcoplo bad
nn opportunity to defend their colors , the
txvo l minors xvoro pulloddoxvn and torn to
pieces.
Instantly tbo Dlaluo people retaliated by
an onslaught on the Harrison forces , and
tbolr banner , bearing n portrait of tbo presi
dent and some inscriptions certifying , to his
political grandeur , was also pulled down and
torn to pieces and trampled under foot.
Of course , nil this provoked a great deal of
bad fcolluc and for a tlmo it seemed as
though there xvould bo n general light.
There xvas a great deal of soullling , nnd mou
woro- jostled against the mnrolo xvalls and
there xvoro txvo or three llatlc encounters of
short duration , but the riot , winch for n time
xvns feared by all the cooler heads , xvas hap-
pllv avortod.
For two hours the hot bends of the rival
faotlons thronged Ibo hotel rotunda aud
madu it impossible for the guests to pass
cither in or out of the betel , but shortly after
10 o'clock they finally dlsporsod without any
personal damage to anybody.
