During the calling Of the roll there were
some attempts at correction, but the chair,
after suggestion by Senator Burch, ruled
that no correction could be made during
the cali. The roll must be read as received
from the committee.
At the conclusion Of the call the chairman
announced that the next business was the
nomination OF a temporary chairman.
MIR. P. B. S. Pinchback and Mr.. T. T..
Stamps were then nominated. No other
names being suggested, the chairman de-
clared the nOmi "a tions closed.
Mr.. Demas moved that the vote be by
hall ~ nd tod ho
Another motion by Mr.. o. Delahoussaye,
Jr., as substitute, that it be by rra roce,
was recognized by the chair.
Mr.. Demas and others made the point of
order that nothing was in order except the
calling of the roll or q vote on the previous
question.
The chair stated it had heard no call OF
the previous question seconded, and put
the motion on the substitute. The substi-
tute was then adopted and the secretary
directed to call the roll.
During this time several irrepressible
members mounted the platform, endea7
oring thus to obtain the floor. As the char
refused to recognize any one out Of order
they utterly failed.
The chair then declared that the call of
the roll was to decide whether the vote
should be by ballot or uiua roce
A motion for tt Hers was not recognized.
Much confusion followed. Mr.. Pinch
back and Mr.. Stamps both took seats at the
secretsry's desk.
Governor Flanders said the only question
before the convention was whether the can
didates should be voted for by ballot or
riva roce. Each name would be called,
and the member, az he heard it, would
state which he desired. He had no de-
sire to stay in the chair, but wished to get
rid of the duGy as soon as he could. He
presumed everything would be fair. The
convention had q guarantee Of that in the
presence on the platform of both the chiefs
who were nominated. The convention was
to decide between them. He only asked
for order, that the voting might 60 on.
The calling was then proceeded with, and
BY the time the parish Of Orleans was
reached the vote was nearly even. Then
almost each vote was considered a test,
especially where some had left it in doubt
as to their preferences, and almost each
deelar alton for ballot or rira uoce was hailed
with cheers. All who were for the ballot
rrora for p;pchhaclx tor chairman. those
