The First Gun.

After the announcement of committees
was made Mr.. Scarren, of the Fourteenth
district, said that in the interest of harmO-
ny he had a resolution to offer, which was,
that the Hon. Chauncey |. Filley he in
yited to a seat on the platform. Enthu-
siastic cheering. The chairman declared
the motion out of order.
Col. Van Horn said that he hoped that
the motion would carry unanimously.
Several members appealed from the de-
cision of the chair, and quite a number
demanded To know by what authority or
for what reason the chair declined 10 en-
terrain the motion.
The chairman-"I will endeavor to ex-
plain my ruling This is delegate con-
vention, and when it is proposed that Mr..
Filley occupy a seat In the convention =
Mr.. Scarren, (interrupting) That is not
the motion, it is simply TO extend an act of
courtesy TO Mr.. Filley, that he be invited
TO seat on the platform"
The chairman that is a very
different state OF affairs"
The motion was then unanimously car
ried and Mr.. Filley made his appearance
upon the platform amidst a perfect storm
Of applause. He shook hands with Col.
Van Horn and Chairman Krum and tEen
proceeded 10 address the convention. tie
said that he felt thankful for this grateful
acknowledgement, that those whom he
addressed were there in the interest OF the
republican party, not of any faction
He had rot expected any Of this
kind. As for himself he was willing TO take
a back seat in the interest of harmony.
Eve have" said the speaker, Settled
our differences in st. Louis, in the interest
of harmony We have effected unity be-
tween the Silk Stockings and the rad
icaIs l will not use that detestable name
Hoodiums".
The speaker referred to the eminent re-
spectsbility of his constituents, who had
been characterized as hOOdlums, and
closed by declaring that he did not want to
be chairman of the State Central commit.
tee, and that the party could not give him
the craftsmanship.
In closing his remarks, Mr.. Filley.
turning to Hon. John B. Henderson, said,
Here is republican harmony. and
cordially grasped the ex-senator's hand,
also shaking hands with Col. Van Horn.
The applause was deafening and for awhile
the convention presented the appearance Of
AN OLD FASHIONED LOVE FEAST
in full blast. Members all over the house
were shaking hands and congratulating
each other on the prospect of a harmon
ious solution of all past differences.
The noon hour having arrived on mo-
ton the convention took a recess until two
o'clock, the delegates dispensing in the best
of humor.

NIGHT SESSION.
Report Of Committee on Creden-
tlalS.

bldlS.
The convention was called to order by
the temporary chairman. A member of
the Second district made a motion that
speeches during the evening be restricted to
five minutes each. Carried
After some delay the committee on ere
dentials announced they were ready to re-
port. The secretary read the long list Of
names in loud, clear voice. The two sets
OF delegates from Jasper county were an
nounc-d as entitled to i've votes each.
A motion was made that the report Of
the committee be received and the commit.
tee discharged.
Before the motion was put
MINORITY REPORT
on credentials was submitted, claiming
that the Jasper county delegation, headed
By Mr.. Allen, should not be recognized as
members of the convention.
A member of the Eleventh district made
an earnest speech in favor of the minority
report as regarded the Jasper delegation.
A member from Jasper county made a
fiery speech in favor of the mi
nority report, saying if one of the
ten delegates was entitled TO a Sat
in the convention, then all ten were
ceived with loud applause.
Another Jasper man said that the ten
delegates elected at the county convention,
called by the chairman of the county COM
mittee, would not consent to go back to
their constituents, and say their rights had
been bartered away by the convention,
giving the bona fide delegates but FIVE votes,
and giving Eve votes to bogus set of del
egstes.
A gentlemen, one of the ten "Allen"
delegates from Jasper county,
made a forcible speech, saying
that delegation was the only one trnly rep
resenting the republicans of Jasper county,
but IN At for the interests of harmony they
had decided to waive their right to five Of
the ten votes of Jasper county,
A member of the committee on Gre
dentials said it was the wish of the COM
mittee that the two sets of delegates from
Jasper County kiss and make up"
Laughter
Other speeches followed, and
AMID THE GREATEST CONFUSION
the chairman put the question as TO sub
stituting the minority report for the
majority report so far as Jasper
county was concerned. He announced
the motion as lost. A dozen members
sprsng to their feet and appealed from his
decision. Confusion was worse cODfound-
ed. The chairman made a short sarcastic
speech, saying he would not be gagged, and
gentlemen of the Ninth and other districts
might as we'll understand il first as last.
A motion to accept the minority report
as reg irded the Audrian county delegation
was lost.
The question was then put: "Shall the
majority report be adopted" Carried
amid loud cries of Lets adjourn" "Lefs
90 home"

The Resolutions.

The committee on resolutions presented
through its chairman, Gen. B. NJ. Prentiss,
the following report, which was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the republicans of Mis-
souri,, in convention assembled, renew
their allegiance and adherence TO the prin-
ciples of the republican party as enumer-
ated in the national platform of 1880, and
carried out by the national administration
of President Arthur.
The republican party OF Missouri hav-
ing buried all past differences and being
now united and harmonious, is ready to
march forward in solid phalanx to battle
against the common enemy; and will dis
coupteuance any man or sci of men, who
seeks to create dissenslons in its ranks; and
we, its representatives., hereby pledge our
unfaltering support to the national nomi-
nees of the party.
Having full faith and confidence in the
wisdom and ability of the republican party
we leave to the delegates assembled in ma
tional convention the formulation Of reso-
lutions upon national questions.

was to be vice president Qaughter), but if
he escaped be would help sit downson any
body who "kicked"-which threat, mas
much as he weighs 800 pounds, was no
light proposition He incidentally re-
marked that any chairman who would try
to ran the convention in either Interest
was not gentleman.
DIR. Crawford, OF Benton county, said
that all ,his talk about there being har-
mony everywhere was nonsense. An effort
was to be made 10 apply the gag-iaw, and
members should be prepared to meet 1t.
Capt. James HI. Turner, editor OF the
Carrollton Record and Hon. b. u. Evans,
of Cuba, spoke al length and the meeting
adjourned.

Patriotic Orations.

At $40 o'clock the convention reassem-
bled, and the committee on credentials not
being ready to report, Gen. B. NJ. Prentiss
addressed the convention. His address,
which occupied half an hour, was at
tentively listened to and frequently APP
plauded. At the conclusion of Gen. Prem :
tiss' speech, delegate arose and stated
that there was a very distinguished gen.
tleman present, the only republican men,
her of congress elect in the state, DIR. j. III.
Mclean, OF ST. Louis, who he moved be in
vited to a seat on the stage and be request
&c to address the convention. Another
delegate moved ar amendment TO the mo-
ton, TO the effect that all of the delegates
be invited to seats on the platform The
chairman treated the amendment with ST.
lent contempt. After some delay, DR.. Nc
Lean made his appearance on the stage

der of business would be the election of

Gen b. N Prentiss, of Harrison county,
a candidate for delegate To the national
convention, was, on motion, invited to n
s al on the platform. His appearance
called forth considerable applause.
There was some little misunderstanding
among the delegates from the First district
In reference 10 their representation on the
committee on permanent organization. Ii
seemed that several members of the dele
CATION were not present In the caucus held
previous TO the assembling OF the conyen-
ton, and hence two nominations were
made. When this district was called, viz:
Leonard Dobbins, of Shelby, and Mr..
Charles Howe, of Lewis county, the matter
was finally adjusted by Mr.. Howe, who had
been present al the caucus, Withdrawing.
On motion Of Mr.. Sheldon, of the Twelfth
district, a
COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS,
consisting of one member from each con-
gressional district were appointed, as fol-
lows:
First-W. T. Cain.
Second William Maynard.

Twelfth-E. q. Kimball.
Thirteenth-Norman Gibbs.
Fourteenth-LymanH Hale.
The temporary organization thus being
effected, Gen. John b. Henderson, in re-
Spouse TO a cordial invitation, addressed
the convention. He counselled harmony,
and advised that if il could be secured in
no other way that the St. Louis men be ig-
nored entirely. He discussed the political
issues of the day at some length, being lis
tened TO with close attention.
The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1884-04-15
Meeting at Germania Hall.

At haIi-past eight o'clock Germania
hall was fairly crowded with delegates of
both factions who had gathered In response
to illuminated placards, which were dis
tributed just before daylight al over the
city. Mr. Filley called the love feast to
order and proceeded to urge upon the dele
gates the Importance of setting aside old
issues and acting as though there were no
Filley and no Van Horn In the world. He
asked his friends to forget that there had
been two factions, and 10 so act with those
who were not bis friends, as 10 permit a
ticket and platform which every republi-
can could endorse without questioning
whence they came. In closing he nomi-
mated Dr. Mclean for chairman, and the
nomination was acceptable.
DIR. Mclean spoke In the same strain,
pleading for harmony, and deprecating
personality.
Henry Ziegenhein, of ST. Louis, respond
ed to c Ill, and directing attention to the
gloomy news of q democratic triumph at
Kansas City, the home of Van Horn, ad-
yised his hearers 10 exercise some of the
fine, beligerent powers, which they had ex.
exhibited in two years fighting among
themselve, In opposing the common en-
emy-the democracy.
G. II. Howe, of La Grange, sometimes
called Harmony Howe" joined in the
prayer for peace. 1t was high time to quit
this fighting about tweedledee and tweedle-
dunn, especially in view of the fact that
there was no hope to get any of the Offices,
for a long time to come, anyway.
Somebody suggested that Mr.. Howe was
not strictly respectful in his 'tweedle" ref
r. h.
the sake of harmony.
B. III. Russell next spoke and told of a
disaster to the union army on the Rapidan
In consequence of a want of action, draw
ing the usual moral
Judge Seay, Of Franklin, delivered an
admirable address, declaring the faction
lists to be no real republicans ;nasmuch as
there was no. enough material in Missouri
to make one respectable republican party,
much less two. He had come down to
prove himself the champion dirt-eater Of
the country, and would seat dirt" for any
body to quiet the boys. He understood he

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The convention reassembled at 2 o'clock
The chairman stated that the committee on
credentials was evidently a deliberatiye
body, and would not be ready to report for
some time.
The committee on permanent organiza-
ton announced that il was ready to report.
The chairman ruled that this report could
not be received until the committee on Gre
dentisls reported.
The chairman announced that the dele
gates from the Fourth district were re-
quested to withdraw for consultation.
On motion the convention took recess
for one hour.

Opening Scenes.

Long before the hour appointed for the
assembling of the convention the streets
leading to the opera house were thronged
with a curious crowd OF people, who repre-
sented all shades of political opinion and
every condition 10 life. When the opera
house doors were opened the demand for
admission was far greater than the
capacity of the house, and only those who
were fortunate enough to secure tickets OF
admission, gained entrance. Promptly at
10 O'Clock Col. r. T. Van Horn, chairman
of the State Central committee, appeared
upon the stage and called the convention
TO order. His appearance was the signal
for enthusiastic chs.ers
