vote rejecting me was made by the gentle
man from Michigan.
The President ruled that the resolutions
already adopted by the convention were IN
der the operation of motions to reconsider
and lay on the table. The chair could not
know whether the convention would lay
the motion to reconsider on the table. He
did not therefore consider the gentleman
from Massachusetts, yet excluded fron the
convention.
Church raised a point of order that he
called for the previous question and there
fore no debate was in order. The President
SO decided
Hallett appealed to Mr. Church to with
draw his call for the previous question.
Avery of N. G. said the author of the
Cincinnati platform is surely entitled to be
! heard in this Convention. Laughter and
applause.
Hallett SAID SirI have fought enough
for y. Y. entitle me to this courtesy. The
soldier of a hundred battles ought to retire
with the honOrs of war.
Cessna OF Pa said | raise the point of
order, that the Congress of the u. S. refused
to copyright the Cincinnati platform, and
therefore the gentleman is not entitled to con-
sideratiOn on that account. Laughter and
applause. -# f....
Church not withdrawing his demand for
the previous question, it was ordered, and
the resolution admitting the Charleston del
egates from Ga. was adopted
Uallett OF Mass. then took the floor
lie moved to reconsider the ninth resolu-'
tion. a number Of points of order were then
raised and Il warm skirmish took place.
Smith OF Wis. raised point of order, that
Hallett has never been delegate in the
convention.
Chaffee was the delegate recognized ard
admitted to the Charleston convention, and
Halletts name does not appear on the re-
cord.
Halett desired to speak to a point of or
der. He was a delegate regularly appoint
ed, and being detained by sickness in his
family, had requested Chaifee as his substi-
tute TO attend. He had prepared papers
for that purpose in the sick chamber of his
wife, without trouble to Mr.. Ciaffee, and
probably without his being able to under
stand them.
Mr.. Stewart and others called Mr.. Hallett
to order and considerable confusion existed
until the Chair awarded the floor to Mr..
Hallett
Stewart of Michigan moved to lay the
vote to reconsider on the table.
Cochrane moved that when the Conven-
tiOn adjourn it be till 7 o'clock. \ vote
by States was demanded.
Cochranes motion tor A recess was de-
clared lost-ayes 825, nays 1G0.
Cessna called for the consideration of the
motion to reconsider the several propositions
adopted and to lay those motions ou the
table
Vauderlord of Md moved that when the
Convention adiourns it be sine die. De-
cIared out Of order
The question was then put first on the
motion to lay on the table the motion TO re-
consider the vote by which the minO rity
report Of Stevens of Oregon was rejected,
and the convention refused to lay the motion
for reconsideration on the table, by the vote
of 1l34 to 1881, New York voting no,
amidst most intense excitement.
Cochrane then rapidly put the motion for
a recess till Z o'clock, which was carried,
amidst the CONSERVATION of the Northwest
ern men, and the reviving hopes of the
South.
Owing TO trouble on the line between
Vincennes and st. Louis, the report of the
evening session was sent via Terre Haute.
Therefore we were unable TO get the full
proceedings. Below is the synopsis of the
proceedings:
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mary
land, California, and Oregon withdrew from
the convention. The convention adjourned
without balloting.
