Tomato representation in tho Springfield Colt
vention tllcy vii! bo inet by sovoral objections,
each ono Of Which will ba conclusive against
them. Iii tho first ptacc, my such claim will
bo M admission tl.at they boltcd from tho
regular Convention. They will bo told that
they ongl,t to l,ayc remained nntl acte.l witt,
tho party II they wanted their pruporlionnte
representation. Dcat'l-hed repentance will
not avail Iii this case. Iii tho second p1ace,
II they hsscrt TINT they believed they would
not receive their propofttolinto representa-
tlon, the renly will bo That II they Ind re-
nalt,cd IN the pitrty Convention my griev.
ance would have received consideration, but
tint they cannot now set up possible
grievance as n claim upon tic State Conven-
tlon nf party from which they llayc boltc.l.
If they insist TINT tlloy layo been deprived
OF representation, tho answer will bo tint
they wore not III their scats to vote
when tho roll Of wards ai,,i towns
was called. They Ind no representation n
the Cook County Convention; hence they aro
entitled to none III tic Illinois State Cotlyen-
tion. Finally, II the hypothetical case bc I'D
mittea TINT they would have been given ITO
representation had they remained In tlsolr
seats, such all admission will only prove
that they yyoro ),opelcsly In TIM minority. md
that tue action Of tho Convention would have
been tho sane II tlloy l1au not bultetl. Con-
scquont1y tlis is not the basts for any change
in tire Cook County delegation. II thew
