and Mr. G. w. Reynolds, being one from
| each set, were admitted to seats
! Mr. Hise then rose and said, that much

/ ton. To do so, he proposed at once to offer
| some resolutions rs r basis OF ACTON. lie

/ to-day determined 20 act solely for the good
Of the party, and TO stand by good, old fash
! Toned democratic principles. The rcs0lu-
/ lions he proposed % Offer had been prepared
on consultation with many Of the delegates,
/ they were plan and simple, and sucl. rs no
/ democrat could ds,cr.t from. For himsclf,
/ he was willing stand or fall by them. II
/ it was proposed afterwards TO raise 'Am-
/ mittcc tDiryplrc other resolutions, he should
| intcrposc no objection, but as TO these, hc
! did not feel willing to have them hacked or
/ whit;lcdhy a committee, at least until the
convention shall have had an opportunity to
pass upon them,
Mr. Mnnson asked that the resolutions
might be read.
Mr.. Stadden objected to the introduction
Of the resolutions at this time. lie wished
to say
Mr. Ilisc claimed that he had not yielded
the floor
Mr.. Stadlrn raised point Of order. Such
a thing as Offering resolutions at this stage
Was unprecedented. 1t was pr'ma. Ficie eVi-
dcncc that there was something wrong about
thcn.
Mr. Galloway, for the purpose ofharmony,
moved that committee Of five be raised on
resolutions.
Mr. Clover moved 10 amend the motion so
as to refer the resolutions Of Ir. Hise to that
committee. The resolutions might be all
right. But when the gentleman talked
about cod fashioned democracy there

in a different light FROM Mr.. II. lie was
unwilling one man should get "p and force
upon the convention resolutions which he
was afraid ~ submit TO a committee. lie

The chair stated the question to be on the

ever heard that in n dclihoratiye body a
member had 10 right 10 offer resolutions
lie claimed that right here and protested
against being muzzlcd.
The chair supposed Mr.. Il had yielded
the floor. and had therefore entertained th'
motion Of Galloway.
Mr.. H.sc said he had yielded simply 70
! an explanation, and had claimed IT as soor
as he could. But il il was determined t,
entertain the motion he should oppose IT
Complaints were made in oil parts OF tn
county Of the manner in which resolution
were smothcrcd in committees. He wanted
I to present his resolutions openly. If II Wa
