down. Lepew from his seat pro-
tested vigorously to the chair against the
resolution being read
The chair ruled that Boutele could read
his resolution, but a number of delegates
shouted No" Oliver amidst storm of
hisses again rose, and refused to be seated.
A sergeant alarms was sent to help him
into his seat Ho subsidized, however, before
tie official reached him. Tire chair was
clearly wrong, but he could not be made to
see it,
Thompson, of New York, refused to sit
down. Horr Hoar, Depew, and others,
crowded the aises, and the excitement was
intense Green, of Nebraska, appealed from
the decision of the chair ON the ground that
Boutele couldn't read his resolution until
the rules had been suspended to allow him to
have it read. Senator Hiscock appealed for
permission to have the resolution read, say
ing they were not afraid to meet any resolu

Boutelle was permitted to read the resolu-

roar There was great applause and waving
of handkerchiefs and flags when the reading
was finished. Massachusetts, New York, and
Michigan seconded the motion to suspend the
rules Then Ohio and Iowa and dozen 9th
ers, one after the other, seconded it, each be-
ing applauded to the echo. This scene went

for the passage of tho resolution. This was
refused, but eventually the resolution was

the convention ended its full week of labor |

The resolution submitted by Boutele was |
drawn up by Mrs. Ellen j. Foster, president |
of the Ohio branch of the Women's Christian |
Temperance union. She absolves the organ
ization which she represents, however, from
all responsibility for the resolution, and says
she had it submitted on behalf of the Chris

the subject of temperance is boundless, and
10 the limits of no single state.
