No. The last man was there when the
last vote was taken. There was no bolt and
no withdrawal. They remained all through,
and voted upon the question of final adjourn
n1ent. Their contesting delegates were
named at a caucus, but their names were
never presented to the Convention. When
the question OF electing delegates came up, a
resolution was introduced naming ten dele
gates and ten alternates. The Grant men
moved to lay it on the table. That motion
was v0tet1down by nearly thirds majority.
The Blaine men, after some discussion had
been had, called for the previous question
on the resolution. It was ordered. and the
ten delegates and ten alternates were elected
by a majority Of about 85.''

Yes,-two from the Second and two from

had was the meagre one OF seven In the Sec

be pressed unless the Convention should let
in the contestants from Illinois. We
shall resist any such claim, of course,
on the ground that we followed
custom and precedent, and shall
especially resist their claim to four delegates
