SECOND DAS-M0RN1NG SESSION.
Late into the night of Wednesday and
the early hours OF yesterday, excited and
determined voices could be heard in ami
mated conversation in the rooms at the
Garrison, Kaiser's and at the Merchants
hotels. Men, earnest in their fidelity to
friends, led them to pass almost sleepless
night, working and toiling with an energy
garely equaled in q contest of the kind now
before us.
SOMETHING Is GOING TO DROP
said delegate to BAzoo reporter yester-
day morning as he was met on the street.
"What are you going to do?" interro-
gated the paper man.
you'll see" he replied as be gave a Pc
culiar turn to his head.
CAUCUS.
The More men, nineteen stalwarts, held
o meeting In the morning at the Merchants
hotel, and issued the following ultimatum:
"The Cosgrove men and the More men
to combine and agree to refer the matter
back to the people, otherwise the More
men would vote for and nominate Heard"
A committee of one from Boone and one
from Camden and one from Morgan was
appointed to wait on Mr.. Cosgrove
and find out what he was willing to do.
The committee went to Mr.. Cosgrove's
room at the Garrison and performed their
errand
@'Yes, refer it to the people, that suits
me, but don't know that I can control
the delegations who are voting in my in
terest when it comes to voting on such a
proposition" said Mr.. Cosgrove.
When the committee went to Mr..
Heard that gentleman opposed sending
the delegates home and desired the fight to
end here-not to annoy the people with
any more primaries or conventions to name
a candidate for congress.
MEETING OF THE CONVENTION.
1t was nearly eleven o'clock yesterday
when the chairman called the convention
70 order and when he did rap the hammer
the delegates slowly and stragglingly took
their seats and
TROUBLE BEGAN.
L. S. Carter, of Boone, introduced the
following resolution:
Whereas, 1t is evident from the large
number of ballots taken that no candidate
now before this convention is the choice
OF q majority thereof
Therefore, Resolved, that the nomina-
tion of a candidate for congressman of this
district be referred back TO the people of
the several counties thereof, the choice TO
be expressed either by a primary cleo
tioD or by uniform time and manner of
electing delegates in each county to be de-
sermlned by the executive committee of
the district"
DIR. King spoke against the adoption of
the resolution and urged that the PROPOSE
ton to refer back to the people be rejected.
~ Sol
astlc speech against sending the contest
back to the people: He alluded to the
bitterness already engendered in the fight.
and that the bitterness would be in,
creased If the contest is again referred to
the voters,
A BREEZY EPISODE.
Mr.. Carter, who introduced the resolu.
tion gave proxy to J. NJ. Barron of Boone
and requested him to defend the resolution.
MIR. Barron took the floor and was about
TO address the convention when DR.. Wood
son Moss said that Mr.. Barron was not
delegate and had no right to speak.
Mr.. Carter said he was too ill and phys
lcally unable to defend the resolution as it
should be defended.
Ii was moved that Boone county be al
lowed to settle the matter of Mr.. Carter
giving the proxy to Mr.. Barron.
The delegates from Boone sat down on
Mr.. Barron, and Mr.. Johnson of the same
county took the cudgel up for the resolu-
tiop.
MORE THAN He WANTED.
Mr.. johnson no doubt fearing the result
of the discussion and that it might result
disastrously to their man made motion to |
adjourn until 2 o'clock p. m, to give the DEL
eeates an opportunity to discuss the stu
alton.
The recess was taken and every man
grabbed his hat to 60 to bis dinner.
