Mr. RICHARDSON. The substitute offered by the |
gentleman from Mississippi varies the proposition \
from its original form. The original had reference
only to the Committee on Credentials. The gentleman
proposes to raise Committee upon Organ
ization The gentleman from Mississippi moves 70 {
amend br excluding the two States in which there
IS SAID 20 be a contest. From that Committee ought
70 be excluded only the State that is called up /
There i no reason why the State Of Illinois and the
State Of New York should be excluded from the
Committee on Organization. There may be, anu
there are reasons which acknowledge to be satis-
factory TO me- why should not sit IN the contested
case Of Illinois. But there is no reason why mem
Der of our Delegation should not sit n the contested
case of New York. But when you come to pluraI-
ties, you not only take us from the Committees but
strike down the power Of the two States IN this
Convention.
Mr.. BARKSDALE desired to correct missppre-
hension of some Delegates. He did not desire to
discuss the merits Of any contested seat, but ne re
ferred to the Cincinnati Convention, at which no
State from which there were contestants was adj
United to representation on the Committee on Per-
manent Organization.
Mr.. CRAIG, of Missouri, desired to correct tle.
gentleman from Mississippi. The contested seae
from that State was decided at Cincinnati before the
permanent organization ami the Mlssourl Delegales
were fully represented on the committee.
Mr.. CESSNA, of Pennsylvania, moved to amend
by striking out all afer the enacting clause In the
| original resolution, and inserting as follows:
! RESOLVED, That there now shall be appointed two
! committees; each to consist OF one MEMBER !fOhl
each State to be elected by the respective Delega-
tons thereof; one committee on Permanent Organl-
zatioa and the other Credentials; ana tnat IN ue
terninng the controversy in regard 10 tne disputed
seats Of the Illinois Delegation, the members OF the
Committee on Credentials of that State sha not DC
nermitted TO vote thereon and IN determining the
/ controversy from the State of New York the mem
Der of the Committee on Credentials from that state
! shallnot be permitted to vote
