and so moved. These were the Lou
isiana cases; the question OF delegates-at-

jority in the Alabama cases was then adopted
by ViUa UOce vote.
The Illinois cases were then taken up. Mr..
Quarles, of Wisconsin, offered resolution
limiting the debate on the question to one
hour. MIR. Boutwell, moved as a substitute
that all the cases Of contested seats be de-
cided by adopting the usage of each State as
that usage has existed heretofore, and that
In each State in which the uniform usage has
been to elect delegates to Republican Nation
al Conventions BY State Conventions, that
usage shall be deemed binding, and the same
shall be true in respect to delegates sent by
District Conventions in States
where that has been the usage. The Chair
ruled that Mr.. Boutwelrs resolution was
out of order as not being germane to the
pending resolution. Messrs. Boutwell,, Logan,
Pixley and Others spoke, and final
