San Miguel uRpn the pending ques-
ton. 1t was urged by Llewellyn,
Easton and Jewett, of your own
delegation, among others, that the
resolution was clearly out of order
that the assemblage was not yet
a Convention for any other purpose
than Of effccting an organization as
per the roll Of the Committee, which
constituted rule of order for that
purpose. Numerous precedents
were cited in support of that posi-
ton, including the ruling of Sena-
tor Sabin, Chairman of the Nation
al Committee, at the organization
Of the late National Convention, at
which time the precise question
arose, and was held precisely in
accordance with the views of your
delegation.
Chairman Breeder repeatedly
admitted the definite and peremp-
tory instructions of the Territorial
Committee, and also repeatedly and
argrily refused to obey them, un-
less upon the condition Stated by
him in no uncertain tone,) that the
majority should torego their right
to elect temporary Chairman, and
thus yield the organization and
management of the Convention to
the minority. No appeal which
could be thought Of was left untried
Nevertheless, Mr.. Breeder persist
ed in his absurd ruling, persisted
in permitting the consideration of
the resolution to disfranchise the
County of San Miguel. A motion
being made to lay that motion on
the table 1t was pat to vote. When
all the other counties had been
called, Judge Newcomb demanded
of Mr.. Breeden if he still refused
to call the County of San Miguel,
as ordered by the Committee. Up
on Breeden's angry reply that he
did, and without awaiting an an
nouncement of the vote, the solid
delegations of Dona Ana, Grant,
Lincoln, Valencia and San Miguel,
with two votes from Sierra, one
from Socorro, four from Mora, four
from Colfax, left the hall. The mi
nority was left with eight from Taos
eight from Rio Arriba, two from
Colfax, two from Mora, eight from
Santa Fe, twelve from Bernalillo,
seven from Socorro, and one from
Sierra, Ms in all, or less than a
quorum. To make, in appearance,
a quorum, they voted in the Lopez
delegation, whom the friends of
Judge Prince on the Territorial
Committee (where they had a ma
jority,) had admitted to be without
any valid evidence Of right what
ever. The body, thus constituted,
look a recess, and after making an
Intellectual effort to obtain a confer
ence with the majority, made, later
in the day, the nomination of Judge
Prince. Nor has his pretended
nomination any other validity than
such as a revolutionaryrump could
give it.
AT 1880 p. M, Aug. Goth, the
majority Of the legally elected del
egates assembled at Mottley's Hall,
were called to order by Hon. d. NJ.
Easton, of the Territorial Commit
tee, and organized the Territorial
Republican Convention by the
choice Of Hon. Tranquillino Luna,
temporary Chairman, and Ira NJ.
Bond, Of Dona Ana, and c. f.
Martin, of Colfax, as temporary
Secretaries. The usual proceed
ings were regularly had, all the
committees reported except that Oh
platform and resolutions, and the
Territorial Committee was appoint
ed. Col. VIM. /. Rynerson was
unanimously nominated on a call o.
the roll, (receiying SO votes, or
more than ma,iority,) and accept
