der.
scRhIMAGE.
The motion for new roll. call was voted
on, and was SO close that the Chair could not
decide. Confusion resulted, and hot debate
ensued, with charges of Irregularities in
voting, fraud, etc. Points of order were
raised and argued, and fresh confusion fol-
| lowed During this time James G. Kelly
charged John Mehapny with fraudulent
voting. Mehanny called Kelly liar. Kelly
refused to resent it, declaring he would not
violate the order of the Convention by doing
SO. Mr.. Ellis charged that he knew
men who had fraudulently voted also, and
vowed that there should be fair play. Cries
of Yes, yes Kelly united with him in his
demand. h. NJ. LaRue favored that plan
also. At this point Mehanny was seen to
advance upon c. w. Clarke, when tall dele.
gate from the country lowered over Mehanny,
| seized him by the collar at the nape of the
neck, and fairly jerked him tout of his boets .
AS he fell, great confusion ensued a crowd
gathered about the man, and there were erie:
Of "Expel him, He does not deserve to sii
here" etc. Officers rushed in, and after 6
time got hold of the man, when
it was found that his leg hse
BEEN broken between the knee and the ankle
Mehanry, it appears, had his leg broker
o.ce before, and as he fell it doubled undel
him, and the bones broke where they haC
parted in the first instance. He was borni
out and taken to the County Hospital. II
the mean time the entire Convention was oil
it's feet, and great confusion prevailed. Tn
Chair hammered the desk and implored dele
gates to be seated. The delegates were, il
the main, standing on chairs, and most o
them calling for "OEder." The report
|
their tables, when the Chair rappe
the delegates over the shoulders of the penc
brigade, by crying out, Gentlemen will ge
down off of the tables" The reporters a
cnce descended, but the Chair at the sam
moment mounted its own table, and frof
that underground commanded and secure
attention.
c. w. Clarke then got upon chair an
demanded TO be heard. He said " | sat her
I'D EoorJ Mobapp,y or fiUa times ynt
for absentees. He said he knew how the
,, would vote. He voted when the names {
{ some Spaniards over there were called. Thi
young man kelly was correct when
$ charged him with it. Mehanny gave tn
young man the lie. Had | been in his plaC
: I would have mashed him right there. lAl
plausel Gentlemen, this Convention is NJ
at fault. 1t was all the act of this man. Ii
us have fair dealing here now, or | am L
more Democrat" [Applause.l
Mr.. LsRue said the only way was to hay
a new roll call. Only fair dealing would
= tolerated. Applause.
The Chair said it had been humiliated ar
, the Convention disgrsced. But the voice
y the Convention showed that it condemned Il
4 affair. He saw but one way out of the diff
:. Guilty, and that was to order s new roll ca
= and he would exercise his authority to decla
the cid roll call irregular, and to order ne
u objection such was the order.
The Convention then unanimously order
i that if any delegate again voted in the nan

nc The scene on roll call for County Clerk,
D., which Aiehanny's leg was broken, was a {
e graceful one in the extreme /; but it is sim
