Mr.. Gary, or AhbeVille: II SecOnt
the motion of the gentleman from
Charleston. We want no machine
made officers [applausel in this con
vention. I hope it can never be sait
that delegates who have come her,
with duty to perform could not wal
few minutes in order that the candi
dates could go before the convention
on their merits. 1t would be an injus
tice to the men who have been placed
in nomination."
A member: ''NIr. President, if there
is quorum present move that We sc
on with the nominations"
Mr.. Murray: II see no objection K
that, but l move that the nominations
be made without speeches."
Mr.. Haskell opposed the suggestion.
A member: "1f there is a quorum
present now there must have been d
quorum present when the vote was
taken Dy acclam2tlon."
Mr.. Murray here withdrew the mo-
ton on which the vote was taken by
acclamation, and moved that the nom-
nations proceed.
Mf. Tillman (slddenly:,, 81 move

been fixed for o'clock. T move we
adjourn until that time"
