"rhe first concern OF ali good government Is
the virtue aud sobriesy Of the people and the
purity OF the home. The Republican party cor
daily symp2thizes with AL wise and well di-
rected efforts for the promotion Of temperance
and morally.
In submitting the amendment Mr..
Boutelle attempted to speak, but Was in
terrupted by Oliver, of Pennsylvania, who
made the point that under the rule ali res
olutions should go 70 the committee with
out debate. The chair ruled that the mo-
ton 10 suspend the rules for the introduc-
ton of Boutelle's motion required two
thirds vote. Oliver shouted, "You have
made your platform. now stick TO 1t.
scene of indescribahle confusion fol-
lowed. Oliver mounted 3 chair and the
convention shouted. The chair ordered the
sergeant-at 20 arrest Oliver unless he
sat down. Depew. from his seat, protested
vigorously against the resolutions being
read. The chair ruled that Boutelle could
read his resolution. but number of dele
gates shouted mo" Oliver. amidst q ct orm
of Kisses, again rose AID refused 10 be seat
ed. The sergeant-at-ar arms was sent TO hel ,
him into his seat He subsided, however
before that official reached him.
The chair was clearly wrong, but could
not be made to see il. Mr.. Thompson. o.
New York, refused to SIT down. Messrs'
Horr, Hoar, Depew and others crowded into
the aisles and the excitement was intense
Mr.. Green. of Nebraska, appealed from a
decision of the house on the ground that
Boutelle couldn't read his resolution until
the rules had been suspended to allow him
to have il read. Senator Hiscock appealed
for permission to have the resolution read
saying they were not afraid to meet any
resolution.
Boutelle was permitted to read the resolu-
ton as given above. There was great sp-
plause and waving of handkerchie.s and
hxgs when the reading was finished. Mas
sachussets. New York and Michigan second
ed the motion TO suspend the rules. Then
Ohio and Iowa and dozen other states
one after the other seconded it, each being
applauded TO the echC. Oliver attempted tc
make speech IN support of suspension
OF the rules but was suppressed. This went
on until all the delegations had seconded
the motion and amid y scene of unparallel
excitement. Boutelle asked unanimous
consent for the passage of the
resolution. This was refused
BY this time the convention
was mob. but eventually the resolution
was adopted under suspension of the
rules and by a rising vote. To save the
possibility of such another scene Senate
Hiscock moved that the convention ad-
iourn sine die. GEN. Hastings seconded the
! motion. 1t was carried and at s:55 the
convention ended its full week OF labor and
