Yesterdays CONVENTION.

The convention vas called to order at
IL 80 o'clock by Mr., G. N. Hughes, chair
man OF the congressional central commit
tee and the proceedings were opened by a
forciablc prayer from Rev. j. A. Scarolt.
DR.. MCGEE, Of Metropolis, acted as sccre-
tary.
The chairman announced that he had been
instructed 10y the congressional central
committee to suggest the name of Judge
VIZ. Murphy of Randolph county, as
temporary chairman of the convention and
asked that gentlemen of the convention
nominate other candidates.
Dir. I. Burgess, Of Perry county, nomi-
mated DR.. Dyer, of DuQloin, as a second
candidate Tor temporary chairman, to which
Col. Willis objected, believing that the IN
s'ructlons of the congressional committee
should be carried out.
MIR. Robarts thought that the congress
sional committee had no right to dictate to
the convention and say who should be its
temporary chairman, He took this to be
a Republican, not an office-holder's con-
vention, and thought that it was amply
able to take care of itself. He made a
forclble speech and was loudly appIaudcd.
Judge Bird argued that the central com
mittee, being the representatives of the
voters Of the district, had right to make
suggestions of the kind in questions and
was but carrying out the will of the people.
He cited precedents where the recon-
mendatons of central committees
upon this point had been carried
out strictly and unquestioned.
