The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1888-05-03

to table, had the right to conclude.
After considerable confusion, the Chair
put the motion to table the resolntlons,and
on aye and nay vote the noes clearly pre-
vailed. Then the meeting was thrown
into turmoil again. and chaos reigned.
Finally it was agreed to take the vote on
the motion to table, by tellers. ) Brown
Allen and j. Yost were appointed teliers.
Mr.. \ ost stated to Mr.. Allen that after
the rush of voters on each side was over,
then those who were tardy should pass be-
tween The tellers and indicate with which
side they desired to be counted.
BY this time the confusion was SO great
that not e.tenth of the people 10 the
house had al idea of what was going on.
When the teilers took their places, those
in favor Of tabhng the resolutions passed
through first, and after two repeaters mad
been detected and turned back, the vote
on that side stood 76. Then the noes
the friends of the resolution-commenc
to file in. and when 50 had passed through
and number were yet to come. Mr..
Allen left his post, and without the
knowledge or consent Of his co;teller, an
nounced the vote as 65 to 76. Whereupon
the Chair, in face of the protest OF Mr..
Y ost, declared the N otion carried and the
resolution defeated. Mr.. Yost appealed,
but the Chair refused to entertain it.
Dozens of men denounced the act as
shameless and upblushing outrage, and
pandemoninm ensued.
During the confusion, Chas. Curry,
Esq, sought to restore something like
order, and in an earnest and impressive
speech, appealed for harmony. But he
might as well have whispered to the
winds. His strong voice was swallowed
in the general uproar. Finding that it
was impossible to get even semblance of
fair play, the anti Mahoneites moved to
adjourn, but the Chair declared the motion
out IF order.
Rev. Henry Williams then moved that
the papers presented by both Craig and
Yost be laid aside, and delegates be elected
from the floor uninstructed.
A half dozen other motions were put,
and in the general confusion Mr.. Allen
held up the paper presented by Mr.. Craig
and the Chair declared the delegates
therein named elected. and the chair
was then vacated.
THE SECOND MEETING.
After the exodus. as soon as something
like order had been restored, Mr.. Y ost
called the meeting to order, and after de-
claring the exhibition just made disgrace
to the name of Republicanism, called upon
the Republicans of the county to proceed
with the business for which they had con-
vened. Mr.. VIM. R. Lands was nomina-
ted and elected temporary chairman. On
motion Mr.. Lands was made permanent
chairman and T. M. Parkins, secretary.
The chair then announced the house
ready for business.
