A LITTLE EEz
Mr.. Marshall spoke in favor Of the
original motion, OIL the ground that it
merely went to reaffirm an immemorial
custom of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Muldoon, contestant with Marshall
for a seat as delegate from North Ruby
Hill, pitched into Mr.. Marshall, saying,
among other things, he could not get one
sixth OF the votes of his precinct for any
thing.
Mr.. Sadler said everybody had conf
dence in the compromise Chairman, who
could be trusted to make any appoint
ments.
Mr.. Beatty disclaimed any d~iscourtesy
to the Chair, but quoted as precedent the
manner in which the Committee on Gre.
dentials had been appointed recently in
the Democratic State Convention.
Mr.. Wilson moved to amend that the
Convention nominate seven members to
form the committee.
Mr.. Muldoon requested that no man
from his precinct, in which there was q
contest, be put on the committee, especially
Delegate Marshall. Keep that man off,"
said he.
This brought Mr.. Marshall to his feet.
who in turn pitched into Mr.. Muldoon;
"Mr. Chairman, there is q good deal Of
blowing on the back seats. / want Justice,
though the heavens fall. A dog that has a
sore head growls whether he is hurt or
not. Assertions are made here that will
not be repeated on the street. Ihave been
in the ranks for AZ years, and never was
accused before now Of anything foul. A
bird Of flight I don't recognize in this
fight"
