Mr. Moore, Of West Virginia, refused to
pour oil on the troubled waters. He
couldn't do it without a violation Of princi-
ple. He thought the Malone delegates
Should be seated. Delegate-at-lsrge Allen,
of Virginia, who had been seated few
moments before, said that the decision in
his favor would be yalueless if the conven-
ton decided against the Mahonites in the
ninth district The same rule applied to
both cases, and if the delegates-at-large
were rightly entitled to their seats, so were
the delegates of the district under consider
stien. To adapt the report would put
back the wheels OF Republican progress for
twenty years.
Mr.. Hess, of Missouri, in behalf of that
delegation, moved the previous question.
Senator Hoar, on behalf of Massachusetts,
seconded it and Nebraska and Nevada sup
ported it.
On viva voce vote the amendment to
admit the Mahonites in the Ninth district
waScarried.
On rising vote being demanded it was
again carried by over two-thirds vote and
the resolution was received with some cheer
ing.
On the motion for the adoption of the re-
mainder of the report admitting the Wise
delegates in other districts.
Mr.. Reeder, of Pennsylvania, called for Q
separate vote upon each district and it was
granted. But Just here Mr. Fessenden, of
Connecticut. moved to reconsiner the vote
derstood what they were voting about.
Mr.. Butterworth moved to lay this on
the table.
The question was called and the vote was
so close that the chair was unable to decide.
A division was again called for. The
chair ruled that the previous question was
still operative and Mr.. Boutelle of Maine,
took issue with this in trumpet tones The
convention was fast getting into disorder
and drifting away from the control of the
chair. Messrs. Fessender Hoar. Boutelle,
and Others were on their feet and brsstling
with points of order. At last division on
the question TO lay upon the table the mo-
ton to reconsider the vote admitting the
Wood (Mahone) delegation in the ninth
district was secured-ayes 242 nays IVA,
and it was tabled accordingly.
Now the question of adopting the report
of the committee seating the Wise delegates
in the Second district was reached and the
convention was almost in second in an
uproar A dozen would be orators fought
for recognition, and each tried TO shout
louder than the others. Mr.. Gage of Cali
fornia, at IL 10 moved an adjournment un-
10 a. m. but it was voted down by an over
whelming shout of no, and Mr.. Gage sub
sided.
Senator Quay, Pennsylvania, moved the

recognized as test of the Sherman
strength. and nine-tenths of the vast audi
ence kept q tally. When Ohio was called,
o request was made that the Ohio delega-
ton be passed. New York voted so in
favor of admitting the Wise delegation,
and - for the Mahonites. Pennsylvania
voted solidly against the Wise delegation.
Illinois, with exceptions, was against the
Aahonites.
voted solidly for Wise. Ohio vot, 10 for
Malone and 10 for Wise, amid great
laughter and cries of "Ohr" The fact that
the State wanted to offend neither fac,ion,
and that it recognized the vote as a resi
one. added zest to the scene. Vote for
seating Malone, $50: Wise, SIP.
The majority report in relation to the
Virginia cases was then rushed through in
short order Nobody was in humor foi any

was taken until 10 o'clock this morning.
