After short speeches had been made in
eulogy and denunciation Of Robinson, a
delegate from Saratoga named Cowen de-

followed by a scene OF indescribable con-
fusion, long continued.
A dozen men then rose TO move for a
recess, and it was long time before this
could be heard.

man, said he regretted that the Secretary
had assumed the duties OF the Chair be-

had been asked concerning the nomina-

declined.
Brooks insisted as a point OF order that
the Chair should recognize the propriety
of the action taken and moved recess for
two hours.
At the endof roll call on Brooks motion

been kept, each different from the other.
Ono tally carried the motion and another

must order that the roll be again called.
The pending motion was modified so as to
provide for recess OF only one hour.

the roll would be called slowly and each
delegate when named would rise in his
