The following resolution was then offered and
adopted: 5. s.. 5sst& 3 - flaIi1H
Resolved That in voting upon any question in thu
Convention, any fifty members may call vote by
counties; and when sach call 10 made, each county
votes polled at the last Gubernatorai electon and
where the delegation from any county divide, each
delegate ihal vote his relative proportion of the
| Democratic vote of his county
The Convention then took recess TILL o'clock
P. NJ. .az.l.s a4se s'4..sssq 9aF
! a Evening Session.
| The President resumed the chair at the appoint
| ed hour. and called the Convention to order.
| The President stated that the 6rst business IN
order " a. the preamble and resolution offered BY
| Mr.. r. Glass, Of Lynchburg, the substance Of
which was, that in all future conventions alternates
viii not be permitted to vete, unless they come
from the county which they represent or are In
structed by the county as to how their votes shall
| be cast. x7sa
| Mr.. Jackson moved the indefinite postponement
| of the preamble and resolution. e
Mr.. Glass opposed the motion for indefinite post
ponement, and gave strong reasons why # should
not prevail = t
| Mr. Fisher, of Northampton, favored the motion
| Mr.. Deneale favored the motion, believing that
| the Democracy had never suffered wrong by the
| alternate system. .-.st st sss5
| Mr. Leake called Gen Gordon to the chair. and
took the floor in opposition to indefinite postpone
| ment He believed the system of alternates was
nti-de4ocratic and anti-republcan, and thought
he proved It Was it possible that gentleman resis
ing In Eastern Virginia could know the political
wishes of the people of Brooke Hancock counties.
He then proceeded by illustration, to show that
one man, by being appointed alternate for every
county, in the absence of all the delegates, wouiI
| become the Convention to nominate whoia he
| pleased and the democracy of the State would be
| bound by that nomination. He continued MS u
| lustrations, and made very clear case In opLo'
| sition to indefinite postponement
Mr. Jackson advocated the motion for indefinite
postponement, believing that the resolution struck
| ut the representative feature. If county bad q
right to elect delegates, 1t certainly had right to
4 appoint alternates, and no other county had the
privilege to question that action. He thought the
| gentleman who preceded him had bagged the
| question by his extreme illustrations.
| Pending the discussion of the resolution, the
house being denseiy crowded. and the confusion
1 extremely great, . motion was made and carried
that the Convention adjourn until 10 o'clock this
morning. .~a3s4s. .t..l
