resolution, and was listened to with profound at
tention.
A motion to lay the resolution on the table was
lost.
Mr. Raymond was allowed to be heard in his
own defence. He regretted that anything per-
sonal to himself should have, interviewed to delay
the action of the Convention. He first took up
the question of his right to a seat. He said that
he came to this Convention as the editor of the
Daily Times. On Thursday, he was requested
