LITTLE sPAT.
Some members at this point suggested that
the Convention should hear read the name of
the person chosen by the Congressional dele
CATION for delegate and alternate to the Re
publican National Convention.
The matter occasoned some dispute, and
Dne old gentleman from the 7th district was
honest enough to rise and say that they had a
man for delegate from their district, but be-
fore announcing him they wanted to see if the |
convention wouldn't put him in as one of the |
delegates at large. Laughter.
Hon. Ben. Eggleston moved that the con-
7ention should hear read the names of the |
National delegates, so far as they had been Sc
ected.
Gen. Sawyer, of Huron, thought the dis
ricts were not, and said he knew his district |
was not, ready to name their men.
Ben Eggleston hoped no district would name
man if it hadn't yet selected him. Laughter.
Mr.. Burgess, of Miami, moved, as an |
amendment to the motion, that the districts
elect their delegates, and report them through |
Convention this afternoon.
This was carried, and the convention took
ecess to 1:30 p. m.
