one who was faithful to his country"
West Virginia gave Hendricks 5.
Illinois announced her vote, 10 for
one of the delegates again
protested that his vote should be re-
corded for Pendieton; another dele
gate wanted his vote recorded, from
the Second District Of Illinois, for Il.
Johnson; the chairman (Price) said,
by order of the Convention the chair
man Of each delegation was author
lied to speak for the State. Great
confusion occurred, but the Chair
proceeded to announce the vote:
Hancock 1414, Pendleton So. Parker
81. johnson 10, DOolittle II, Hen
dricks 81, Hoffman 3.
Seymour took the chair.
Mr. Mallory, Of Illinois-Mr. Pres
ident: [ have a proposition to make;
a motion to submit to this Conven-
ti0n. Ny motion is this, that every
gentleman who has credentials en-
titilng him to q scat on this floor,
shall be entitled to represent by vote
and voice the district that in part
sent him here. [ Applause and cries
of take your seat, and order.
The President-Ihe delegates must
all take their seats. The gentleman
frcm Illinois (Mr. Mallory if the
Chair understands his motion, moves
that each delegate shall have a right
to vote as he sees fit on the
nominations. The rule already
adopted by the Convention is
that when the nominations are
made each delegation is to vote
through its Chairman. That IS now
the rule Of the Convention. The
motion, therefore, 1of the gentleman
from Illinois. is a motion to change
the rules of the Convention, and the
order ofits proceedings. This can be
only done upon one days notice, and if
any objection is made, more than that.
The Chair will state it understands,
and | think in every Convention l
have attended, when the question has
been raised to change the votes of the
delegates, il has always been decided
that each delegation had right to
decide for itself how it would act as a
whole. That was the decision OF the
Convention which met in Baltimore.
A delegate from California objected
to the proposed change go 4" a
Mallory - Do [ understand the
Chair that it decides that /, who
differ from the expressed vote of the
Chairman of the Illinois delegation
must permit his vote to be taken. and
not mine.
The President said the rules already
adopted by the conyention will be
read by the Secretary, whose voice is
so much clearer than my own, and
that the convention will better under
stand it than if l state it.
Mr.. Bayard, of Delaware un-
deFstand the rule of the convention to
be. that the Chairman Is to announce
the vote of each delegation.
The President-Lt is. sfE.rug
Bayard-Does that involve the
principles that Individual members
are to be here as mere agents of the
majority. and not Of the people they
represent? | think not. [ suppose
this to be deliberatiye body as much
so as in the House of Representatives,
That majority of the members OF
the House of Representatives. should
undertake to control the individual
opinions of the Representatives as
that a majority of delegation should
undertake here to control the indi-
vidual opinion of any member Of this
Convention, such DELEGATION is no
longer a representative of the. senti-
.nant of tho naol1la Such nrin-
