Speaker Cobb of Georgia, declared in the
House that the Democrats will not vote for the
plurality rule until Ranks is withdrawn. The
Republicans had caucus ON that same evening
and re-nomnated Banks, ard declared that they
will not withdraw him. A resolution is now
adopted that all debate aud personal explana-
tions shall be out of order, and that the ballot
ings shall be the only business done. We will
see what that will bring forth. My opinion is,
that it has come to the alternative of plurality
rule or no organization, and that the Democrats
must come to the plurality rule at last.
