f. G. Toplif, in response to the ques-
ton of COchrane, said that for several
districts not represented here, delegates
had been selected from gentlemen who
were present from their neighborhOod,
as near as possible.
Mr.. lousy said that before the ques-
ton be taken on the adoption of the re-
port, he had an inquiry to make Of Mr..
Lloyd who had declared that he would
not vote for Greeley. On the response
would depend his (TOucey's) action.
He asked Lloyd through the chair,
whether he would obey the instructions
adopted to-day by an overwhelming
vote that the New York vote should be
east for Horace Greeley. Lloyd was
silent, and several gentlemen interposed
to object to the controversy. Toucey
was called to order for claiming the floor
until his questson was answered.
Theodore Tilton-Mr. President, if
any gentleman were to rise and
question me- direct or through
the chair, as to how would
vote as a delegate, would remain here
silent until the day Of doom. Zap

A delegate inquired if Mr.. Tousey had
a right to hold the floor to that very in
definite time when Mr.. Lloyd should
answer his question.
Mr.. TOusey said that as the gentleman
failed to answer his question he would

Joseph H. Toole for that of Mr.. Lloyd,
in order that New York's entire sixty
eight votes might be cast for Horace
Greeley.
Mr.. Ethan Allen regretted the motion,
because it assumed that Mr.. Lloyd would
disregard dishOnorably the solemn obli-
CATION imposed by the instructions voted
for to-day, as the gentleman, if he ae-
cepted the appointment as a delegate in
the presence and free knowledge Of those
instructions he was bound by every prin-
ciple of honor to obey them.
Mr.. Cochran opposed the motion, and
urged that if MIR. Lloyd so desired
he could not cast his vote against
instructions, and if he did, it would not
be received; but if the contingency pro-
vided for should happen to arise, releas-
ing the deputatition from the obligation
TO vote as a unit of course Lloyd would
be at liberty to vote as he please.
The question being taken the amend
ment was lost-ayes 80, nays uneOunt-
ed, so Mr.. Lloyd remains.
By authority of Henry G.. Lake, the
latter's name was withdrawn and John
NJ. POmeroy's substituted.
The report, as amended, was adopted.
Mr.. Allen read a telegram from New
York announcing that to-day's Herald
had come out strong for Greeley for
