AN EPISODE.
Mr.. Pollock here introduced resolution
which babe fair to raise breeze, but the
weary delegates had not interest enough
left in the proceedings to get up quarrel.
The resolution was that committee oil
one from each district be appointed by the
Chair to select delegates to the State Con-
yention at Martinsburg, and another sim
liar committee to choose delegates to the
Congressional Convention in this city, and
third committee to name Conterees to
meet with others from Brook and Han
cock counties, and name the candidate Tor
State Senate In the district and also with
Conierees from these counties and Mar.
shall, to nominate Circuit Judge. John
Butterfield proposed an amendment to
this resolution, making 1t the duty OF the
district delegations to name their respec-
tive committeeman. The amendment,
however, was rejected, and the resolution
adopted.
Mr.. Handlan requested that the call ior
the convention be read. The chair read
It from the Register, and 1t was discovered
that it was expressly stipulated that the
selection OF these delegates should be left
for future time. The chairman, how.
ever, ruled that II the convention saw III
to ignore this stipulation 1t had authority
to do so. He therefore proceeded to name
the committees to select the State and
Congressional delegates. The former com
mittee was Messrs. Hegner, Sturgeon
Hoge, Warner, Butterfeld, Duffey, Min
kemyer, Thornburg, Garden and Mont
gomery; and the latter, Messrs. Crawford
Pollock, Horkheimer, Fitzsimmons, Fox
KilIian, 0tte, Bedillion, Caldwell and
Blainey.
4 recess was taken to afford these com
mittees an opportunity to conduct theii
deliberations. After q lew minutes the
committee 10 select the State delegates re
turned, and Mr.. Thornburg, as chairman
reported that the committee did not be-
llieye the Convention had any right tc
name the delegates, and so refused TO re-
poyt any names. After some little discus
sion this report was adopted and thecom
mittee discharged.
