opposing him here have done nothing
for the party except to engage in Il
strife and contention. He would be
prepared to show that the men who
were opposing him had no standing in
the party. The contesting delegates
at large were chosen by boiling con-
Vention consisting of eighty-One mem
bers from nearly seven hundred mem
berS from the regular convention. The
contests of the district delegates were
upon wholly ridiculous grounds. In
one case the convention which selected
was called by three men, who consti-
tuted the convention. One of them
i took the chair, another was made sec
rotary and the third the floor, who was
/ on the platform here, and who caused a
laugh by saying Ives, and you took the
results General Malone proceeded
/ to give a sketch of the troubles of the
party in Virginia, and was proceeding
with an appeal that the convention
should stand by the regular party men
in his state.
AT this point Wise broke In energet-
ically with the declaration, Il charge
YOU with frauds by which was cheat
| ed out of my contest" Then retorted
Mr.. Malone ''your charge is false as
YOU are foul.'' II will put the stamp
where it belongs, - fred back Wise.
Both gentlemen were becoming ex,
cited when Mr.. Spalding. of Michigan,
took them both from the chair by ris-
/ ing to question of order. He believed
that the decision of the char admit
ting Malone as member of the con-
and he called attention to the fact that
no appeal had been taken from the de-
cision by a regularly constituted dele
| gate, The whole discussion was there
fore out of order.
Mr.. Butterworth, of Ohio, said that
the dispute between the two gentle
men from Virginia turned upon the
right of Mr.. Malone to vote on his
own case. 1t was impossible for Ma
hone to do that under the regular order
of business. OF course he would be
excluded from the committee on Gre
dentials while his case was under con-
sideration. This was republican
convention and it should conduct its
business in order. He therefore
moved to refer the whole matter to
where it properly belonged-the COM
mittee on credentials.
The chair said that he had already
decided that the discussion of the Viz
GINA contested case was out of
order.
At this time Mr.. Wellington, of
MARYLAND, moved that neither of the
contestant delegations be given repre-
sentation on the committee on creden-
tials.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, OPP
posed the motion and pointed out the
danger which might result from the
setting of such precedent. A notice
of contest might in that event prevent
great state like New York from par
ticipating in the preliminary proceed
ingS of the convention. He moved tC
lay the motion on the table and this
motion was agreed to amid applause.
The convention then at $3.50 adj
iourn ed until tomorrow at noon.
