ilrmlng Mr.. Westcott's ruling at the
organization of the convention: a ma
lor1ty OF the committee. MesSrs. SpcnS-
ley and Parker, reported in favor of
William Mates and Bonsen Spensley. rs
the delegates from the western assembly
district convention. Mr.. Wescott made
a minority report, favoring the admis.
sion Of MeSsrs. BaInhridge and Bright,
as the delegates from this assembly dis
trlct. We have not before Us either of
these reports. The majority report set
forth IN a mastery manner substantial,
the grounds taken in this address. The
minority report may be briefly Summar-
lied as follows: The credentials of
MeSsrs. cambridge and Bright, though
IN fact bad, are still technically +
rect. The technical view taken by
Mi, Wescott is based upon his idea Of
district representation that we have
already spoken of. The convention by
Il vote y to 10, adopted the majority
report, thereby seating Mr.. Mates and
Mr.. Sper sley rs the two delegates
from tb Western Assembly District of
l.aFa. tie County. thereby giving Mr..
-" - btt III Aitt NA}llA HititliA.
and Mr.. Reyes 20, precisely rs the peo-
pie in their primaries bad determined.
At this stage in the proceedings.
thirteen of the Dane County delegates
and the entire Green County delegation
SIX, IN 4 body seeded from the con
vention, refusing longer 10 participate
In its deliberations, went To another
hall in the city of Monroe. and organ
lzed a boiling convention. and the next
day nominated a boiling candidate. the
Hon. +. w. Keyes. The regular con
vention, in hopes that during the night
better councils would prevail among
the SecederS postponed further action
TIL Saturday morning. Saturday morn
ing the seceders still refusing to partici-
pate in the deliberation of the conven-
ton, 1t proceeded to the nomination of
a candidate for Representative from the
Sd district. This resulted in the nom
ination of the Hon. Geo. c. Hazelton by
a vote of p TO ,. Mr.. Stickney re-
manned in the convention, casting his
own vote and the vote of his colleague
for Mr.. Reyes. as he was instructed to
do. The credentials from his assembly
district directing the delegates present
10 cast the two votes of the district in
the absence of one of the delegates.
You now have before YOU the entire
record and all the facts truthfully and
fairly stated. Either Mr.. Hazelton or
MIR. Reyes Is the regular nominee of the
party. Both cannot be. 1t is for the
people 10 determine which is regular
and which irregular. The regular nom
inee is entitled to every Republican
vote in the district. The one who is IL
regular, by ace pting such irregular
nomination, is well entitled to the Sc
verest denunciation Of every Republican
in the district, for this DELIBERATE at
tempt to defeat the will of the people.
and 10 ieoparliZe the election Of a Re
publican to Congress from this staunch
old Republican district. which never
Yet has falterad or failed TO be repres-
ented in the House of Representatives
by a tried and true Republican. VIII
the Republicans of this district sustain
this misguided policy of u minority?
If 50 they will prove rccreant to the
principles of the grand old party whose
grandest achievement is that it has
always been loyal to the principle, that
the will of the majority is the supreme
law.
