Contested delegations were present from
Gage, Hitchcock and Nance counties.
The majority report recommended that all
be admitted except those contested.
Hon. 7. j. Majors, of Nemaha, present
ed a minority report, to admit four dele
gates from Gage on whom there was no
contest.
Hon. T. P. Kennard, of Lancaster, |
moved the majority report and the report
of the minority except so much as referred
to the contested seats be adopted.
THE CRISIS.
The crisis was reached after recess
and after Mr.. Webster, of Douglas,
had made a nomination of Blaine |
delegates. Mi. Irwin, of Pawnee, !
made a decided hit by calling atten-
ton to the danger of any scheme by
which the Blaine majority could be
divided. He made a motion to elect
delegates to the national convention
by call of counties by . viva voce vote.
MI. Kennard, of Lancaster. moved to
amend by electing by judicial
districts and BY ballot.
Mr.. Laird, of Adams, fol-

speech in defence of voting by ballot.
This speech, If it had been made in
favor of the privilege of tine ballot In
the hands of a sovereign voter instead
of in the hands of the representative
delegate, under obligations to his con-
stituency to obey instructions, might
not have been out of place. As it
