While the roll Of counties was being
called it was moved that Alexander county
be declared from representation on the
committces on permanent organization and
resolutions, but Col. John Wood, rose 10 a
point OF order saying that this point had
already been settled 10y A previous motion
and the chair decided the point well taken.
IL was also moved that afternoon the CON
yention transacted no business before hav-
Ing acted upon the report Of the committee
on credentials; but the chair ruled the mo.
ton out OF order.
Upon motion the convention then ad
journed until O'Clock p. M
During this recess the three committees
held meetings. The committee on creden.
tias which was the most important of the
three, met in the hall of the lIibernian fire
company, aud hal q very stormy meeting.
Judge ID, j. Baker presented the case for
the Thomas delegation, aud did it in such
full, forcibe manner that all unprejudced
minds present were indignant at the man
ner in which the Damon faction had gained
what success il had. The committee was
not ready 10 report when the convention
again met at 2 o'clock, nor yet at five to
which hour the convention had again ad.
journed; but the committee notified the
convention that il would be ready to report
10y eight o'clock at night and
after much wnngling during which
Matthew j. lnscore, who seemed to be
badly "shot, created much amusement by
his humorous Sallies
When the convention rec nyened at eight
o'clock the committee was suIl not ready
to report, and il was moved and carried that
committee Of three be appointed to en-
quirc Of the committee on credentials
when the latter would be ready 10 re-
port The committee of three re-
ported in about ten minutes that
the committee ON credentials would be
ready to report at 8 80 o'clock, and it was
decided 20 have recess OF half an hour.
During the recess the convention was en-.
tertancd by songs and iccitations from
some Of the prominent members present
In this way over an hour was spent when
the committee on credentials appeared, and
Gen. Miller reported that with regard to
the delegates from all counties excepting
Alexander, the committee reported tavora-
bly, and unanimously. With regard to the
delegates from Alexander county two re-
ports were offered, one favoring the Dam
ron and the other, the Thomas delegation.
The latter was the majority report being
signed by five Of the nine members of the
committee on credentials.
Motions were made 20 accept the ma.
jority report and to substitute tho
minority for the majority report, and the
latter WAS discussed at considerable length.
1t was evident that the convention would
be for an indefinite length OF time before
any further important business would DC
done, and as the hour was growing ver'
late, it is impossible to give further detail
