AFTERNOON.
The Convention was slow in assembling
in the afternoon. At two o'clock the
band began playing, but still the COM
mittee were not ready to report, Fifteen
minutes passed, more music and then an
other waiting spell. Some of the dele
gates began to take off their coats on &C
count of the heat. Of the delegates suf-
fered from heat yesterday, what will it
be in June, when the National Republi-
can Convention meets p Reports came
in that the Committee on Resolutions
could not agree on what to report; that
they were endeavoring to turn out Sam
Cary, who, it was claimed was not a
proper delegate in the second district.
At ten minutes before 3 o'clock, the
convention was called to order by tenn
porary chairman Shank. The first busi-
ness in order was the report of the COM
mittee on credentials, Robert A. johnson
chairman, who said the report was ready
but asked few moments for the secre-
tarv to arrive. The band then gave an
other tune. The bulls had not yet lock-
ed horns, the two elements seem respect
fully to fear each other. General Shank
read an invitation to attend the Chamber
of Commerce.
The committee on credentials reported
all correct except that in the case OF Sam
F. Cary and the contested seats of the
second district, the contestants were en-
titled to seats. The report was read,
when S. Hoffman declared he had a aright
to be heard on the question, and moved
an amendment so far as to place the
name offs. T. Cary in place of John Rltt.
The temporary chairman put the amend
ment to lay the amendment on the table
on which both sides voted, and declared
the amendment carried. A point Of Or
der was raised that the amendment laid
the whole report on the table. The chair
declared the point not we'll taken. The
convention was in an uprOar, and slight
collision occurred among the Hamilton
county delegates. One excited lndlvld-
ual from that county tried to get up
fight, but was restrained by Messrs, Hot-
man and Heinkle The band gave a
tune and the trouble was settled. The
point Of order was again raised that the
VIII lie matter was laid on the table. The
chair would not consider the point, and
then put the amendment of Mr.. Hoffman
to substitute the name of Cary for Rltt.
Mr.. Hoffman endeavored to speak to
his amendment, but was shouted down
by the people back of the stage and in
the galleries. Mr.. Hoffman continued
speaking but was not heard. Mr. Isaac
Miller succeeded in getting the place and
spoke in favor of Cary, he said Rltt lived
in the first district and Cary in the sec
ond district, and that Ritt could not rep
resent the second district. Confusion
reigned, and the chair continued to rap
The amendment was finally put by a call
of counties. As the vote was about half
through, Mr.. Gary came upon the stage
and said
This convention has more important
business than to decide whether or not |
am member of this convention, and |
withdraw from the convention.
His withdrawal was accepted and Mil
Ter, of the Hamilton delegation, announc-
ed that Hon. Alex. Long had been deci-
ded on to fill the vacancy in the COM
mittee.
The Committee on Permanent 0rgani-
zation then reported as follows;
