of the New Jersey delegates claimed
they had right to cast their individual
votes for Tilden, urging that the resou-
ton under which they acted did not bind
them beyond the first ballot. The New
Jersey chairman contended that he alone
had the right to announce the vote.
Mr.. Albeit, of New Jersey, said he
hoped that the states would consider
Parker abandonment as treachery.

nounced, Is for Parker. Before the vote
