MOUNT HOLLY.

MOUNT HOLLY.
The prominence that your correspondent
has given to the proceedings Of the Mt.
Holly caucus seems to call for a more def
mite statement of "the question before the
house."
Upon the completion of the organization
of the meeting, the chairman said 1.-The
first business is the election of delegates,
what course will you take to cheat them p
In order to give the chair the sense of the
meeting indicating which of the many ways
it would choose, whether by giad g0ce, bal
lot, by nominating committee or any other
method, motion was made to elect by
viva voce if one name was presented and
by ballot of more than one.
The mover of the motion was at once de-
nouuced as ignorant of all parliamentary
proceedings, and the motion declared to be
out of order and without precedent in the
records of conventions save in one instance,
when the mover of this motion made SIM
liar one in the late republican county con-
vention and thereby disgraced himself and
the town he in part represented. The AL
thority he gave was that ga gentle
man who had been clerk of the house
eff representatives was sitting by his side
in the convention Con back seat) and the
gentle man pronounced the motion out of
order"
The mover of the motion then struggled
hard TO save his reputation for common
sense. He instanced the fact that the
chairman had entertained The motion at
rrnvi@na cencns and had already decided
such a motion in order by calling for the
sense of the meeting. He argued that there
was no rule that gave chairman the sense
of the meeting without taking it, whatever
the rule might be to carry out its wishes al
ter they had been properly obtained He
claimed the faCl that similar motion made
in the late county convention and enter
tanned by the president of that convention,
who was not the man to entertain unneces-
sary motions should have some weight IN
deciding the question. And also that he
made the same motion in a county conven-
ton by the request of Col. Joyce who was
then fresh from the speakers chair. But
ali his showing was useless before the above
quoted argument of his assailant, and the
chair decided the motion out of order or at
least unnecessary and uncalled for" and
his reputation was gone.
When the last rays of Saturday sun rest
cd on the young man he had a fair pros
pect of continuing an humble citizen of the
town of Mt. Holly and participating in her
caucauses, but alas! his hopes are now
blasted, by the decision. by the argument
the ex-representative based on the author
ity of the er-clerk who condescended to sit
in Judgment on the parliamentary knowl-
edge of the
DELEGATE FROM Mr.. HOLLY.
