Mr.. Denny opposed the amendment
and upon his motion, it was laid on the
table. The committee report was ther
adopted, and Chairman Maxey at once
announced the first order of business tC
be the nomination of two candidates fol
the legislature.
At this point DR.. Burt en6eavored to in
troduce a resolution, instructing the legis
| latiye nominees, in case of their election
to use all honorable means to secure thu
election of Judge A. W. Terrell as United
States senator. The chair stated that b,
unanimous consent it could be read, bu
| Mr.. Carleton interposed the objection tina
the order of business having been pre-
scribed and adopted by the convention
the resolution was out of order, and tn
point of order was sustained. The reso
luton was then withdrawn.
Mr.. Denny contended that the resolu
ton was in order at any time, and II
seeking to reinstate it, appealed from thu
decision of the chair, but his appeal wa
defeated.
The disorder that prevailed at thi
iuncture necessitated the clearing of tina
part of the court room assigned to tn
delegates. When order had been restored
Mr.. Ruggles offered the following resolu
ton:
Resolved, That in order to facilitat
the business of this convention, that n
member thereof be permitted to speaI
more than once to the same question, an
not longer than five minutes.
But Mr. Denny, urging the objectio
which before had been made to DIR. Burt
. resolution, the chair ruled the resolutio
out of order.
The nominations of legislative cand
dates being vociferously demanded, M
Carleton at once placed in nominatio
Mr.. Frank M. Maddox.

Bethel Coopwood.
