Mr. Thornburgh called up again his motion
to reconsider, the vote sustaining the rule of
the chairman in the Pennsylvania case.
The roll was called on the motion to recon-
slder, and resulted yeas 3S1, nays 359, SO the
vote was reconSidered.
Mr.. Mcpherson resumed the chair and the
question REQUIRED on sustaining the decision of
the chair.
Mr.. Ingersoll of Illinois, took the platform
(applause) and said the question is, HAS each
delegate right to vote as his people wish him
to vote, or can he, by party machinery, be tied
to vote against their wishes, his own will and
conscience?
Mr.. Hotchkins of New York, urged that the
question is whether there is order, law and dis
ciPiue III the RepuDllcan party.
Van Zandt of Rhode Island, said that to sus-
tain the ehairman's ruling would disintegrate
the Republican party, because if these dissent
ing delegates in Pennsylvania can disregard the
instructions of their state convention, they can
go away from here and bolt from any nomina-
ton here made
MIR. Woodford from New York, had no SYM
pathy with the minority vote sought to be cast
from pennsylvania, but he believed that at the
very basis of existence of the Republican party
was the right of every man to cast his vote as
he chooses.
Mr.. Thatcher of Kansas said we are not to
De driven like machines. There is some feel
ing mat there is too much machinery already
IN tne party. Let every man vote as he pleas
Mr. Hale of Me-Iu 1868 in the Republican
party IN the Chicago convention Maine pre-
sented one of her sons for the Vice Presidency
under instructions from her state to present
him and stand by him. A single delegate from
Pittsbarg then asserted the princinle of indi-
vidual right to vote as he pleased. He was
overwhelmingly sustained and the chairman
was instructed to cast the votes SO as to recoo-
nize the individual right.
A bad break occurs here and all efforts to
supply it has been fruit!ess. The ballots were
sent by states, excepting the first, but they
were so incorrect that they had to be repeated
and were received too late for publication with
the exception of the second which appears
The third ballot resulted as follows:
