DR.. Corbus suggested that Mr. Rhinehart
should be chairman. Mr.. Woaioisn from
the gallery suggested that as /" was not
delegate some one else should h. an ointed.
The chair looked non plussed. The machine
had gone wrong but finally he figured out the
following: Messrs. Nichol cope, Cook,
Davis and Rhinehart. II was not on the
slate and Mr.. Rbinehart could not be made
chairman though DR. Corbus still insisted,

way or another but Dmmick. Again to save
time Mr.. Cook introduced resolutions from
the Ottawa caucus providing for an enlarged
central cOmmite to consist of one member
from each town - be chosen at some future
day, such committee to be substitute for
the town committee and supported the prop.
osition in a speech. DR. Corbus wanted the
matter laid over. Lewis thought that the
scheme interfred With local government and
he was opposed to it. He DIDN'T want the
matter to go over; he believed that such
machinery would be cumbersome; Nat finger
thought it would create more interest in the
campaign; Neuri.er Of Peru was against il
aud moved TO lay motion on the table; he
was ruled out of order; Neuriter again came
20 the front simply to be put back; Lewis
replied to Croker and Fullerton to Lewis;
Snow aided Fullerton and then Mr. Cook
supported Mr.. Snow. Finally the matter
was laid over until the committee on creden-
lials had reported. A contest from I'd pre-.
cinct Of Manlius delayed matters but at last
Messrs. Spicer. Stone and Smith were given
seats and the committee reported delegates
present from every town save Brook6eld,
Dimmick, Fall River, Usage, Richland and
Troy Grove. Republicans present from such
towns were en- motion allowed to sit as dele.
gates and vote.
Mr.. Croker moved, to expedite business,
that Mr.. Plumb he allowed to select delegate
to the Congressional Convention. Carried.
After it was carried kick was made and
the matter was re-considered. On motion Of
Mr.. Croker a committee of Eve was substi.
tuted for Mr.. Plumb as q committe to select
delegates. The committee appointed con-
sisted Of Messrs. Croker, Griffin, Cherry,
Fullerton and Blandin. Croker moved to
instruct for Plumb. Carried.
Z. C. Lewis moved that q committee of
seven be appointed to select delegates to the
State Convention. Mayo then appointed
Messrs. McDougall, Fornof, Dunaway. Pool,
Carpenter, Robinson and Lewis. Mr.. Lewis,
who had made the motion, was not made |
chairman. lie declined to serve, but was |
finally persuaded to do so, the chair stating 4
that he intended he should act as chairman,
a matter that Lewis allowed was of little 1
Importance.
Sumner Cullen moved that the delegation 1
TO Springfield be instructed for J. r. Tanner 4
for State Treasurer.
4 To an . ba &c T,,1-
len was called for and apparently carried,
but the chair hesitated about deciding it. n
and after a good deal Of wrangling and
very bad display of parliamentary law on
the part of the chairman and several men on
the floor, the whole matter was laid on the
table by an aye and no vote Of 1i6 to Is.
Young Cullen had made the effort for Tan
ner, but the rest of the delegates were
against him. Mr. plumb's friends evidently
thought it had some bearing against Plumb's
candidacy and so would have none Of it.
