After these reports were made Colonel
Thomas O'Brien offered the following
resolution:
RcSolred-That any Democrat from
Ohio Co., who may be present at the
State or Congressional Convention, shall
be accredited AS Delegate from this
county. and be entitled to take part in
said Convention.
This resolution caused another racket,
and after great deal of talk, Col. PEN
dleton. offered this amendment
Their admissibility to be determined
by the regular by appointed delegates.
Here another wrangle occurred be-
tween the "cut and dry fellows and the
opposition, but rs this is ''our party we
, must not comment too severely. The
resolution was opposed, an unprecedented
course, by the ''cut and dry folks and the
opposition fought tor it. In the mea l.
time Mr.. j. o. Peudleton moved
to adjourn, but fortunately for all con-
corned. il was not carried. Then there
was more confusion, and number of
prominent young men, among others,
shot of their chin. There were n great
many Radicals on the outskirts, and they
all enjoyed the menagerie hugely. The
question was then put by the chairman
on the adoption of the resolution, and al
though tho vote, according to the sound
of the voices, WAS about even, the Chair
decided the resolution lost.
Then there was excitement again, and
confusion more confounded. \ lot of
members wanted to adjourn and quite n
number of others did not. 1t was finally
settled after u great deal OF "pollywIg-
ging" by the "cut and dry fellows, to
adjourn, and the chairman so concluded
the performance.
Thus endeth the first chapter. More
