E. g. Walker rose and stated that
on suggestion of friend near him, he
would offer resolution for the consid-
Grafton of the Convention, to be called
up when permanently organized, and
which was as follows: That each
county delegation, in the various bal
lettings, announce its votes through its
Chairman, the counties to be called in
their alphabetical order. He stated
that such had been the rule at Chicago
Convention, and it had worked well.
Marsh Giddings, of Kalamazoo, OBJ
jected strenuously to such a rule he
wanted everybody to show his hand !;
mad much to say of wire-pulling and
like contrivances to gag.
F. Fowler, of Hillsdale, stated that
the Convention of that county had in
structed its delegates to vote yiUa UOce.
A motion was made to lay upon the
table, and an amendment also to post
pone.
b. L. Baxter, of Lenawee, did not
see anything Objectionable in the rule
proposed in the Walker resolution, but
he was totally opposed to letting one
side have their say and then endeavor
to prevent discussion by the other. 1t
was unfair. Both sides should be a.
lowed to express their opinion, he was
therefore opposed to the motion to lay
on the table.
The matter was at last put to rest by
a gentleman suggesting that the Con-
vention was not permanently organized,
and therefore could not act on such
resolutions. A motion was thereupon
Immediately made TO adjourn to 2
o'clock and carried.
