The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1882-08-22

10 morrow merning, which was decided
out of order.
| Later on, q motion was made that the
convention adjourn until this morning
at 9 o'clock, to meet at Sichers' park hotel
1t was put to vote and lost.
Mr. Anthony, of Morgan county, was
called to the chair by Judge Lacy, and
when he announced the result of the Goth
ballot he casually remarked that as the
convention was about to select q candidate
for congress he hoped the convention
would vote carefully This the delegates
did, as they had all the time.
The same gentleman from Moniteau
moved that the convention adjourn until
the first of September, but no one seconded
him and the effort to ad journ died a
bOrnin'.
And The same old grind went on.
The gentleman from Moniteau again
came to the front and moved that the con-
ventien adjourn 10 meet In one week al
| California.
This was amended by substituting the
name of Florence, Morgan county. Badly
lost. Lame as to California.
And the barber kept on shaving.
The gentleman from Moniteau again
| went through the Jack-in-the-b act,
after the SD ballot had been taken. NOV
ing that an adjournment be had until
Friday week at Boonville. 1t was showed
under.
1.-The gentleman from Moniteau has the
floor" said the chairman, after the eighty
eighth ballot.
81 move you, Mr.. Chairman" said the
irrepressible, "that we adjourn until next
morning at 1880 a. NJ, 10 meet at COlum-
bia"
When the motion was put there was but
one vote in favor of il, and the mover
from Moniteau joined i'm the laugh.
On motion, il was agreed that when the
convention adjourn it do so to meet
at Sichers' park hotel, that having been
rendered by the proprietors without money
and without price.
A motion to adjourn, after the l0lst bal
lot, was lost, as was the motion TO take a
recess for twenty minutes.
And the barber kept on shaving.
The bailoting continued until the 10th
ballot had been taken, when, after several
motions of various kinds, intents and pur-
poses had been made, the convention ad
*,
at Sicher's park.
THE GRUB QUESTION.
1t was after o'clock this morning be-
lore Mr.. A. w. Anthony, of Morgan coun-
~, acting as chairman pro tem., in the
place of Judge Lacy, the permanent pre-
81 ling officer, called the congressional con-
vention to order out at Sichers' park, in
the large dining hail. Previous TO the as
semblage, many of the delegates were busy
trying to fix up" a ticket, as they had
been at the Garrison house and Sichers'
hotel during last night and in the early
hours OF this morning. But there was no
combination formed, no changes effected,
no swapping done, and when the roll was
called there was the same old tune. The
barber kept on shaving.
After Chairman Anthony had raped
the convention TO order, there was a
motion made that the convention
take its meals out at this place, instead OF
adjourning to the city for the purpose of
FILLING up the inner man.
There was some opposition to this motion,
but when vote was taken on il. ii was
erried by big majority and the grub ques-
ton, under which there seemed such bug
Biaineish smartness, was settled.
VISITORS TO THE PARK
have noticed Q motto over the platform
at the west end of the dining hail. This
motto is taken from the Latin tongue and
il means that mind is master of matter.
This is what is known in college as liberal
translation:
But it remained for a classical member
of the convention to give it such a trsnsla-
ton as to make it very applicable and per-
Sonal. He said it meant that no delegate
would be allowed to smoke during the sit
ting of the convention.
"The secretary will proceed to call the
roll, said Chairman Anthony. after the
delegates had got seated, and order was
observed.
There was no change of the vote from
last night, and at his writing, 10 O'Clock
"A. IN the candidates stand as they did last
night, with
Isl BALLOTS TAKEN.
When the 10th ballot was called, W
NJ. Williams, OF Cooper, was trotted out as
a dark horse. This was not only q sur
prise to the gentleman himself, but to the
whole convention.
On the vote Williams received ten bal.
OTIS. Pettis county giving him seven. The
appearance of Mr.. Williams on the turf
was not very pleasant To the other runners,
though it promised lots of fun for
THE BOYS AND JOCKEYS.
The gentleman from Moniteau ,ould no
longer keep silent, and after the l7Sth
lo 1af ho bet 4
taken until o'clock this afternoon. The
usual fate befell this motion as had over
taken all the motions of this wild Irish
man-it was lost.
LOOKING TO LACY.
On the lS2nd ballot John A. Lacy re-
ceived one ballot This was followed by
eight more Oh the lS3rd ballot. The re-
suit was received with applause.
u. r. b. Jackson also received q little
recognition.
