~: ANOTHER sQUABBLE
occurred at this point and several at
tempts to adjourn the convention until
next day were made. L
THE CONVENTION 4 FARCE. Fss ~
The Chair, occupied by Jerry Gehon,
one of the Vice Presidents, said that he
for one would owe no allegiance to the
convention if it nominated Burleigh.
If the Democracy couldn't find man
in its own ranks to nominate for the
position, the convention had better ad-
iourn sine die. The convention was a
farce, and he believed that a trick had
been put on it by q certain delegation
(meaning Yankton.) Turner might
have been nominated but for their Sc
cret opposition. Burleigh was refugee
from his own party, and he could never
support him. He closed by appealing
to his fellow delegates not to act the
fool. IT,. ..a....r 4..fa..,a :. -a.1 4 5q

delegates would refrain from voting.
The irrepressible Walters said that
the representatives of Union county
withdrew, seeing that Yankton county
was willing to take up man
BLACK AS THE BOTToMLEss PIT OF HELL.
There was jeering, laughing and talk
ing all over the house, and the Chair
could not maintain order.

told him to 60 in on his nerve, refuse
to entertain any motion until order
was restored" and he said he would do
it. AssToRH RAISED. ;,
Dr.. Van Velsor, who was presumed
10 be the only member Of the Yankton
delegation hostile to Burleigh, moved
for an adjournment until the next:
morning. Upon vote being taken It
was clearly lost, but the Chairman, with
= wink 1t the reporter, said he thought

raised about his ears led him to recon-
slider his statement.
