This brouaht up A. E. Mayhem, who re-
cited the action OF the committee and the
acceptance OF the report BY the convention.
This is not the time to make the move
ment proposed. The gentlemen sat here
AID were not maoly. enough to object till
now. The selection BY committee wss for
tho purpose Of avoiding confusion In the
convention and the method Was suggested
by and approved by Democrat, from every
section for the good OF the party and hs
consented to IL that Butte might have hsr

A. A. Brown commended the proceeding
WAS neither usual DOR fair. Why shsuld
this convention individualize some asd
group other nominations ? II it is right to
thus select legislstors why were not the
other sfiicers 20 selectedf Who knows bat
what other delegates than those on the
committee bad candidates to namef He
had ono to name himself and was not .
candidate. The authority TO select them
Was reposed il, ms no { funysntion and II IL
Our duty to select them. All that section
OF tho county north OF the Little Blackfoot
--Ieiferson, Mcclellan, Washington, Lin
coin, Nevada Creek, Black foot, Vestei aud
Snow Shoe, is left without any local repre-
sentative Whatever. II is not fair and works
against the interest Of the party. The Re-
publicans will make handle OF it and they
have right to. insist the, vote shall b.
and favor full nominations and
then let the six highest be the Choice. r,'H
The Chair which held the discussion out
Of order and only tolerated as courtesy,
than put the motion for . reconsideration,
Mr.. Mayhew replied to Mr.. Browns in
quiry "vhy committees were not appointed
to nominate all tho soaioers," that the
other candidates were here 70 make their
claims |; il any one wanted nomination for
the Legislature he woald have asked for 1t
through friends In the convention. There
being none the, committee had selected
those who. would best subssrve the inter
eats Of the countyno Butte claimed three
