Oi lection be made, his time can not

aside.

consider the rule.

the gentleman from Massachusetts, -
Kisses, cries OF "Order," "fime,"
"EWing"1-I have to ask that the
gentleman from Massachusetts with
draw his objection, and give General
Ewing an opportunity to speak.
III Applause.
, Mr.. Herman, of New Y0rk-Inas-
much as Mr.. Ewing epresents a POr-
ton OF the Committee, i think We
should extend his time, as moved.
although We may not be abe to make
la precedent i'm favor Of others who are
not on the committee. 1 hope his
time will be extended as it has been.
The President The objection il
Withdrawn.
Mr.. Mclean, OF Maryland-I rise to
a point of order. The point OF order
is that the Chair can not entertain
the motion Of the gentleman from
New York. The rules of the COnven-
ton are absolute. Nobody csn reply
to the gentleman from Ohio except
in a five-minute speech. 1t is against
the law of the Convention t. enter a
motion to have him hesrd more than
five minutes.
| The President-Willt the gentleman
from Maryland allow me to make a
IeuhIk lue CsldiI HAS nOL aHhlc bi
any objection.
Mr.. McLean-There was objection.
The President-The Chair did not
hear it.
Mr.. McI,ean-It is the fault of the
Chair. The objection was made in
every direction. The noise in the gall
leries drown the objections.
Tne PRESIDENT recognize the geu-
tleman from Ohio and his right to
proceed, in the absence of objection,
and shall maintain that position.
Mr.. McLean-But objection was
made. l appeal from the decision of
the Chair and call for u vote by States.
The Chair had no right to give the
floor to the gentleman. I demand a
vote.
A delegate from Indiana-The rules
were suspended and General E9ins's
time extended fifteen minutes, and
upon that motion move the previous
question.
The Presideut-I could not receive a
motion to suspend the rules while this
business is pending. The gentleman
from Maryland appeals from the de-
cisiOn of Iha Chair.
General EWing--I am very much
Obliged to you for tlie kind spirit
manifested, aud will not ask the iu-
diligence of the Convention further.
Mr.. Cox, of New York; rise to a
point OF order.
Mr.. Miller, of Sebraska--Who has
the floor?
The President The gentleman from
New York Mr.. Cox has the floor, on
point of order.
Mr.. Cox, of New YOrk-My point OF
order is this: / was entitled, after
General Ewing had spoken, to bs rec
Ognized. l had no power to be upon
that platform my colleagues have
rights that have not.
The Chair-The gentleman is out of
order.
Mr.. Cox, of New York; will make
my point. l propose TO yield my
time to Mr., Ewing. Cheers.
The Chair-Ihe gentleman has no
right to yield his time. He is out OF
order.
DR.. Miller, Of Eebraska-I rise to a
question of privilege. [ move that
the galleries be cleared. [Cheers.]
The Chair-The gentleman from
Nebraska moves that the galleries be
cleared, and 1 wish to address myself
to the galleries. We are not to be
controlled or intimidateh by outsiders,
aud unless we have order will turn
them out.
HARD MONEY.
Mr.. D0rsheimer, of New York-Mr.
Chairman and Gentlemen of the
COnvention-I do not propose to
speak upon this matter at length.
Five minutes is quite time enough
for me. propose here To make
straight issue between hard and soft
money. Tremendous eheers.] By
that we stand or we fall. Cheers,
If you want soft money, give your
votes to the resolution offered by the
most distinguished sOft-mOney man
in the United States. ICheers and
misses. But If you want TO leave to
the hRrd-mOney men some chance to
carry their States, then stand by the
report of the committee, cheers,
which was q compromise so great
that protest has been sent here Sign
ed by every one of the Eastern DEM
cratic States, TO which, I have put
my own signature. Cheers. This is
n middle ground which does have
some hope, but il you declare, in the
language OF the gentleman of Ohio,
General Ewing. for a repeal forth
with, then abandon all your hope.
lCheers. make this issue fair. A
voice: lyon will get CROUCH OF it."
As said, we will stand by that, and
now, Mr.. President, demand vote
by the States. [Cheers, Kisses and
applause.

but / arise that both of Us may be
heard for the purpose of moving the
previous question. Cries Of "No %

Mr.. Voorhees, will only occupy
five minutes, and you had better
let me do it.
Several delegates endeavOred to get
the floor amid great confusion.

better keep quiet. This conduct does
not scare anybody and doesn't move
anybody.
