CREATES A BREEZE
Mr.. Lamm: 1t is the wish of many
that the convention adjourn until after
dinner, but before ii is done wish to offer
the following resolution:
Resolved, That while We, at this time,
do not commit ourselves as to the policy
or propriety of Supporting the greenback
state ticket, vet We most emphatically con-
denim as usurpation the effort of any COM
mittee, or any person, 10 commit the re-
publican party of Missouri to any line of
policy on q question so vital to its organi-
z,tion.and principles, and We demand that
state convention, in accordance with
ancient party ussges, be called, so that the
whole party of the state NAV have a voice
i'm deciding the policy of the party, and
directing its course in the present CAM
paign.
Mr.. Smith offered the following substi-
tute:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that a state convention of the
republican party should be held in the
near future, to shape the policy of the
party in the campaign now pending In this
state
Mr.. Smith thought that Lamm's resolu.
ton was too strong that it was too con-
demnatory in language, and that more
moderate expression would better meet the
desires of the republicans of Pettis county.
81 move the adoption of the substitute"
Lamm: go az far as Mr.. Smith, but
60 further. Every word in my resolu-
ton has meaning 1t is an open secret
on the street, it has been published in the
newspapers of the state that some one has
taken upon himself the authority to die
tate the policy OF the republican party of
this state. call no name. but il there is
q boss, q man who takes il upon himself to
rule the party, ! am in favor of protesting
against such assumption in the strongest
language. bow with loyalty to the an
cient Law of the party, which is, that its
voice shall be heard through convention.
Mr.. Bent Anderson: heartily concur
la every word of Mr.. Lamnl, and am in ia
vor of his resolution.
Mr.. Smith: hope the convention will
indulge me a few minutes. | am not the
champion of the state central committee,
bat believe that that committee is the
head OF the party, and do not think
it policy to strike Eat the head of that
committee.
Lamm: / ask who is that man?
Fisher: 1t points right at one man
named Filley.
Mr.. Smith: IL that resolution is passed
We cannot hope to secure the holding Of a
state convention in Sedalis as long as Mr..
Filley is the head of the central committee
Mr.. Lamm, at the township convention,
offered the same resolution as mine and
think it the better one.
Mr. Boutwell,: / rise to make a sug-
gestion. We have large days work be-
fore rs, and If We are to waste our time in
speech making we will not get through.
We ought to make our speeches by our
votes. Applause.
Judge Fisher: / move that committee
of FIVE be appointed to whom all resolu-
tons be referred. Carried
The chair appointed the following gen.
tlemen as that committee: Squire Fisher,
J. K. Carter, Thomas Ellison, j. III. Both
well, A. p. Morey.
Mr.. L. L. Kirke offered the following
motion: That a committee of FIVE be ap-
pointed by the chair to confer with sim
liar committee of the greenbaek conven-
ton, now in session in this city, with a
view to an agreement to form a union
county ticket from the republican and
greenback parties.
