| plunge us into controversy at this in
opportune time to allow the matter to
take its course.
When Senator Hoar concluded
Malone mounted the platform, and
was received with a storm of applause.
General Malone said he confessed it
was with sincere regret he found it
necessary for this convention to be
asked to consider the troubles of the
party IN Virginia. He wanted to say,
IN respect to what had been said to
prejudice his attitude before The con-
yentlon, that the regular organization
of the party in Virginia which he rep
resented, had MADE that State doubtful
and increased the Republican vote so
per cent. He represented not only the
regular organization, but 80 DER cent.
OF the Republican masses in Virginia.
ThoselwhO are opposing him here have
done nothing for the party except
engage in strife and conten-
ton. He would be prepared to
show that the men who were
opposing him had no standing
10 the party. The contesting delegates
at-lsrge were chosen by boiling con
vention. consisting of eighty-one mem
bers OF the regular convention. Tne
contests of the district delegates were
upon equally ridiculous grounds. In
one case the convention which was Sc
lected was called by the three men who
constituted the convention. One of
them took the CT r. another was made
secretary and the I'd took the iJor.
Wise, who was on the platform, here
caused a laugh by exclaiming "yes, and
you took the result"
General Malone proceeded to give
sketch of the troubles of the party in
Virginia and was proceeding with All
appeal that the convention should
stand by the regular party men in his
State.
AT this point Wise broke in energeti-
cally with the declaration II charge it
with frauds by which was cheated out
of my contest.
'1hen," retorted Malone, "your
charge is false as you are foul"
II will put the stump where it be-
longs" fired back Wise.
Both gentl men were becoming
excited, when Spaulding, of Michigan,
took them both from the chair by
rising to a question of order. He
believed the decision of the chair ad-
hitting Malone as g member of the
committee on credentials was correct
and he called attention to the fact that
DO appeal had been taken from the
decision by regularly constituted dele
gate. The whole discussion, therefore,
was out of order.
Butterworth, of Ohio, said the dis
pute between the two gentlemen from
Virginia turned On the right of Malone
to vote upon his own case. 1t is i'm
possible for Malone to do that, under
the regular order of business. Of course,
he would be excluded from the COM
mittee on credentials. while his case
was under consideration. This was
Republican convention, and it should
conduct it's business in order. He,
therefore, moved to refer the whole
matter to where it belonged-to the
committee on credentials
The chair said he had already de-
cided the discussion of the Virginia
contested cases WAS out of order at this
time.

neither, co ntesting delegation be given
a representation on the committee on
credentials.
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts op-
posed the motion ana pointed oat the
danger which might result from set
tlsneut on such pTRvedent. A netice
of the contest might, in that event,
spreventa great State like New York
from participating in the, framing of
the proceedings of the convention. He
