ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC FAMILY ouAnREL-MR'
SPARKS CALLS MR.. CLYMER A LIAR-TIIE OFFEN-
sivE WORDS WITHDRAWN.
lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, April THE second family quarrel
which has broken out among the Democrats on the
floor of the House this week took place to-day. As
on last Monday, of the participants was an
Illinois member. The trouble arose while the House
was III Committee of the Whole, and was occasOncd
by the defeat of an amendment which Chairman
Sparks. of the Military Committee. had under in
structions from his Committee, offered to the Army
Appropriation bill.
Mr. Sparks was very much disturbed by this de-
feat, and with some appearance of excitement said
that he should. Oh behalf of the Military Commit
tee demand the yeas and nays when the bill was
reported in the House.
Mr.. Clymer. of tie Appropriations Committee,
who had charge of the bl said he would not promise
TO allow that, lie had received request from the
Military Committee that it should be done.
Mr.. Sparks at once few into passion He strobe
up the aisle Mr.. Clymers seat, and rs lie leaned
over and shook his fist at that gentleman, he
shouted. If you mean to insinuate," etc, and
closed bis remark by calling Mr.. Clyner liar, with
an" If"
The House was at once thrown into the greatest
confusion A hundred members were on their tcet
st oicc, and score shouting for order. Mr.
Springer, who vas in the chair raped in VAN for
order. Mr.. CymCr made some reply which cond
be heard. Mr.. Sparks Kept his threatening atti-
tudc and continued to YELL hat nothing except the
word "harI' repeated q half dozen times, could bc
heard above tue din.
The Chairman al last succeeded in restoring some
degree of order, and Mr.. Conger demanded that the
offensive language used by Mr.. Sparks be read to
the House. After this had been done and the Chair
nan OF the Committee of the Whole reported to the
Speaker what had occurred, Mr.. Sparks made 9r
apology. which was accepted by Mr. Clymer, and,
after some hesitation, by the House.
THUS, within the last three weeks two Illinois
Representatives. Mr.. Townshcnd and Mr.. Sparks,
have shown Their breeding by applying the epithet
/" liar" to f~llOw-nember Like Mr. Townshend,
Mr sparks had good deal to say abcnt hls
"bIaveYy" During the war. it is said both OF these
gentlemen illustrated their courage by living III
Illinois and bravlng the Union sentiments of their
neigbors. 10 Mr.. SpIras's credit it should he said
that at last lie seemed ia realize the disgracrtnl
spectacle he had made of himself and TO he hcaI iIly
ashamed of ard sOTTy for it,
Speaker Randall lntimated that the offensive
language need not appear in The Record if Air ely
Iner anl Mr. sparks chos, TO expnnge IT. The official
Ieu0rters were unable to take down all of it. but
What they did catch certainly ought to be printed
In Tie Record as a warning to Others.

delegates to the National Convention at Chi
cago. A slight effort was made to obtain an
expression Of the views of the Convention in
regard to the Presidential candidate, but it met
with little encouragement; and resolution
was adopted urging the vigorous and loyal sup
port of the nominees of the Republican Ma
tional Convention. Of the delegates, five are
believed to favor Senator Blaine, four ex-Min-

Mr.. Tweedy appointed A. h ByinRten, of Norwalk,
his substitute.
The only platform adopted was the following:
Resored This convention pledges itself and the CON.
stneDcy which 1t represents TO the beariy, vigorous
aud loyal support Of the nominee Of the Republican
National Convention at Chicago.
It's thought that the delegation stands Blaine S. Ed
munds 4. and Washburne 8.
New-York tribune., 1880-04-08

This q part Of the Edmunds, or rather the anti
Blane programme, ana its chief feature. Tho day
before the assembling of the Convention the Ed
munds men were very confident that they had
majority of tho delegates, and In this confidence
they urged every argument in favor OF tho proposed
plan, believing that If !! lett TO the choice of
the full Convention they could the four dele
gn 'es-at-large. They discovered the impractsca-
bility of the scheme before the Convention met.
and were wise enough not 20 raise the question.
After their unsuccessful attempt to combine tho
friends of Ednunds and Washburne against Blaine
they were quite content to take their share of tho
delegates and let the business be proceeded with in
the usual order.
1t is worthy Of remark that while the ex-Prcsi-
dent has no supporters for o third term among the
delegates chosen he was not without many devoted
friends and admirers in the Convention. Many OF
the delegates in expressing their preferences for
candidates, said that personally they would prefer
the exPresdent above all Others but that they did
not believe he cOuld be elected. heard ibis from
delegates from all parts of the State from go many,
in fact, that do not dOubt that thu ex-Presdent
would have had strong following and secured .
portion of the delegation to Chicago had II not been
the final conviction of his friends that his nomna-
ton would imperll the success of the party. The
Republicans Of Connecticut realize that theirs 10
doubtful State aud feel the necessity of strong
Presidential ticket 1t was this feeling that led
them to-day to subordinate preferences TO large
de1ree and to take special care to do nothing that
could disturb the harmony OF the proceedings or
SOW the seeds OF future dlscOrd. ]. Il. B.
