The second days session of the Re-
publican state convention was called
to order at 1880 o'clock.
Mr.. HaclSworth moved that no per-.
son should cast the vote Of county
who is not resident of that county.
He charged that thirty or forty fraud
ulent votes had been cast in the cleo
ton of chairman, and remarked that
"if we are going to have fraudulent
elections in our conventions we have
no right to charge fraud upon the
Democracy
The motion was seconded by col
ored delegate.
Chairman: This Is not the prop
er time to make this motion. 1t is too
late in the day to attempt 10 bulldoze
the convention into anything of this
kind. l refuse to entertain the n,etion.
Secretary, read the rules passed by the
house.
The following is the clause in the
rules drafted by she executive COM
mit,ee and adopted by the house over
which siie contest began:
Resolved, that in all cases where
elected as said delegate, or rs an alter
nate, said delegate or alternate
shall he entitled to the privilege
ola delegate or alternate, provided
that this shall not be construed to
recognize proxy representation.
Mr.. Hackworth appealed from the
ruling of the chair to the house.
Chairman The appeal Is out of or
der. The rules were established yester-
day, and that was the time TO discuss
them.
Mr.. Schut,ze held that the motion
was in order.
Mr.. Hand remarked that there was
no motion made. We have had speak.
ing enough.
Mr.. Schuttze said that an appeal from
the chair on decision like this is al
ways in order. 1t is easy
enough TO talk about bulldoaing;
easy enough to talk about
clap-trap. We all have right to our
own opinions; are all brethren of the
same party. 1 have no feeling in this
matter, but when i see friends handled
in manner in which | would not be
handled, i must protest against 1t. A
man who can't vote in county con-
vention, has no right TO east q legal
vote in this convention, Mr.. Hack
worth's motion simply amounts 10
placing legal construction on the res
olution of the executive committee.
He wished every one would have the
manllne:s to treat every one else with
respect.
Mr.. Lockhart said that the conven-
ton had inuocently suffered itself TO be
deceived into adopting y DESIGNING
rule. Shall we be prevented from re-
ceding from it? Snack les have been
thrown around free citizens aud the
convention placed under the rule OF
carpet-bagge
The chairman asked the indulgence
of the house for few moments. The
gentleman had referred in tones of
contempt to carpet baggers, All know
that the term has been used since 1865
by Democrats towards men who came
to Texas from other states. AS for
myself am here as soldier.
MIR. Lockhart: The term has grown
into such general use that 1t is not un.
derstood to refer to any particular in.
diyiduals or class, but to those who
have no interest with us.
t Chairman The gentleman's apol
| ogy would be sufficient if he had not
iba'tc Sith sweeping EelllHTkS.
Mr.. Schuttzs made the point OF
order that if the chairman desired L
discuss the question lac must leave the
r chair.
