/ lth order of business: Resolced, That
the delegates to the State Convention be
elected by supervisoral districts, three
delegates from each district, except the
first district, which shall be entitled to
six; that the delegates so elected by
such supervisoral districts shall be del
egates and the Convention at large shall
have no power to change them or any of
them.
Stephen M. White continued the de-
bate for the amendment.
Judge Holloway rose to an explana-
ton.
Judge Morgan read from report of
the Democratic Convention of 1879 to
show that the report of the Committee
was in harmony with Democratic usage.
Mr.. f. II. Howard spoke for a few
minutes in favor of the report
Mr.. j. de Barth Shorb advocated the
amendment.
Mr.. Del Vale made an eloquent
speech for the report, urging that the
customs of the Democracy wero fol-
lowed.
Mr.. w. w. Jenkins, the next
speaker, announced that he had become
bald headed in the cause of the Democ-
racy. He repelled Mr.. Lynill's asser-
ton that there was any bossism in the
report. He said if there was Mr.. Lynill
would like to be the boss.
Mr.. Lynill got up amid cries of "sit
down, sit down" After order was
restored he said he was for the candi-
date for Judge who would give the most
strength to the ticket.
Mr.. 7. S. Shaw said all precedents in
the Democratic party allowed the selec
tion of delegates by majority of the
County Convention. If the precincts
were to dictate delegates no County
Convention was necessary.
Mr.. Del Vale spoke, claiming the
right of the Convention to have control
of the election of delegates.
Judge Holloway stated that the fifteen
delegates should represent the Conven-
ton, and not the Supervisorial districts.
Mr.. j. de Barth Shorb then asked an
explanation.
MIR. II. NJ. Head wanted to get
through and go home.
Mr.. Cohn said his side was willing to
change the amendment that the Super
visorial districts select the delegates and
the Convention shall ratify them.
Mr.. Estudillo thought the members OF
this Convention were too intelligent to
be caught by that trick.
Mr.. White said there was no trick in
it, but he demanded justice.
The amendment was partly read when
Mr.. Estudillo took the floor and was
called to order by the Chair.
Judge Holloway demanded an ex-
planation.
Mr.. White said debate was out of or
der as the previous question was moved.
Mr.. Del Vale said he had not heard
the motion and asked for the reading OF
the amendment.
A division was called on the vote and
the roll was called and amendment lost,
53l ayes to 64a noes.
