| When Alabama was called the
chairman Of the delegation rose and
said one Of the delegates being sick,
be was authorized BY him to cast bis
vote. The chair ruled as before, that
be could only accept the vote Of q
delegate or his alternate.
Mr.. Garfield criticised the ruling of
the chair. and the secretary read rule
9Th. Mr.. Garfield held that it pro.
vided that any delegate could not
question the correctness Of the roll
call, but he withdrew his objection
when told that the question had been
raised BY a delegate who was a men,
Der from Alabama and not a member
outside of Alabama.
There was considerable applause
when Massachusetts, recorded its
changes from Edmunds to Sherman,
in which the delegates as well as the
galleries took q part.
When Virginia was called q dele
gate asked that the state be polled.
and when another vote was found to
have been gained there was renewed
applause. One Of the alternates al
large was allowed to respond for
an absent delegate whose alternate
was also absent. After the vote was
cast the chairman of the delegation
asked that change be again made,
according to the wishes of q Blaine
delegate, and that the vote which he
had given for Sherman be changed
back to Blaine.
The chair allowed this. and the
vote stood a. before adjournment last
night.
