mole the eniiTe stock interest of the

section of the country an ample market

VIII REAs, II is the desire OF this con-

Res lved, That this convention does
Aemoi ialiZe congress by such apprOpri-
ate legislation as shall he sufficient to
accomplish the purposes herein intended
to open, establish and maintain a ma
tional stock trail, beginning at some
point on Red River, extending in north
and northwesterly d .rection to the north

members of this convention he appoint
ed to prepare and present said memo
rial to congress in the name and by au-
thority of this convention.
Referred to the con mittee on resolu-
lions under the rules.
A Missouri delegate moved that the
resolution presented by Carroll and re-
ferred 10 the committee on resolutions
be Withdrawn and brought before the
house again.
Mc,'ov nj Kansas moved tho motion
ne laid on the table.
Carroll appealed for courtesy and
chance to be heard, which the previous
speaker granted and Withdrew
bis bis motion to table. CRrroli
the floor against another motion to
table, and proce eded to say that the
matter OF the trail could be better con
sidered by special committee than by
general one. II is a matter OF vital
importance, and he moved that the res
olution be withdrawn and referred to a
special committee.
Harrison, of Montana, thought the |
eommittt es were intelligibly consti-
tuted and a matter belonging to them
should not be taken from them There
Tore he wanted The question left to the
resolution committee.
Mccoy insisted that one committee of
eighty was enough; that the organiza-
biOu Oh ~ lHdilN Spttldl 'bHlill'tt
would result in a multitude of failures.
Consequently he renewed his motion to
lay the motion to withdraw on the table.
The vote being unsatisfactory divis-
ion was called and resulted in such
clear negative expression that tho votes
were not counted.
Gov. Sayres, of Texas, proceeded TO
speak on the original motion to with
draw from the general committee reso-
luton on the trail. He hoped the con-
ven'ion would put the whole matter in
the hands ola special committee, which
would have only that subject to deal
with.
Mr.. Taylor, of Colorado, stated that
southern Colorado wanted the cow men
TO work on the trail question.
Mccoy, of Kansas, saids he desired to
call the attention Of the gentleman from
Colorado TO the fact that there was {
on the committee on resolutions {
q man named Mccoy, laughter who
laid out the first trail ever marked out,
passed. 81 tell you, gentlemen" said
he, "that Christ is not greater |
friend of the sinner than Mccoy is % {
the trail, and pledge my word that you {
shall have trail. Why display the
want of confidence in us, who are want t
ing to do all we can for you" Cheers.
A Missouri d legate arose to say he ]
|
Trail was not in as good shape as 1t
Dould be made by a special committeee, I
and so, moved TO bring the entire cues :
lion before the convention and not have y
The committee touch it.
Major Thornton, OF Colorado, said that U
nearly every member of the committee a
IN resolutions was in favor of the trail q
md consequently the question was in a
he hands of friends. The committee g
,ou d originate questions by its own
power and as result the committee
IN resolutions would present resolutions Il
Oh the trail question no matter what the
pecial committee might sa'; therefore, r
Re wanted it left where it was first put. q
Senator Dorsey said he wanted
iberty for all and equal justice. Texas Il
lad the ght to the trail, anu so far as e
,e could see, these people who opposed u
I were those who made their money out
# Texas cattle.
Gov. Sayers, of Texas, offered the fol- q
wing:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of the a
that we favor national trail,
nd that Carroll's resolution be referred q
o the committee on resolutions.
The chair: "But governor, this is In y
fleet the last motion passed. Judge d
'arroll's resolution does &c before thai
