| his decision to prevent any gentleman mak- ! ing any motion looking to the settlement ot I this dispute, and the chair would gladly en- I tertain any motion to that effect. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, appealed to the gen tlemen to allow the matter to take it's regular course Mr. Malone mounted the platform and was received with storm of applause. He said he represented not only the regular organization, but ninety per cent. of the masses in Virginia. He would be prepared to show that the men who were opposing had no standing in the party. Contesting delegates at large were chosen by bolting convention consisting of 61 members from nearly TOO members of the regular convention. The contests of the dis trict delegates were upon equally ridiculous grounds. In one case the convention which selected them was made up of three men. One of them took the chair, another was made secretary and the third had the floor.
 Mir. Wise, who was on the platform here
 used laugh by exclaiming, ssYes, and you
 .8 the result"
 S General Malone proceeded to give sketch of the troubles of the party in Virginia and was proceeding with an appeal that the con- vention should stand by the regular party men in his State. At this point Wise broke in with the declaration, "I charge you with frauds by which>I was cheated out of my seat" ssThen, Aretorted MT. Malone ''your charge is false asA you are foul" T will put the stamp where> it belongs" fired back Wise.
 The gentlemen were becomipg excited when MT. Spaulding, of Michigan, 6aQk them both from the floor by rising to 8 question of order. He believed that the decision of$he chair admitting Mahone as 8 member of tb9s committee on credentials was correct and he called attention to the fact that no appeal had been taken from the decision by. @ regu- larly constituted delegation. The whole dis eussion was therefore out of order. Mir. Butt terworth moved to refer the whole matter to where it properly belonged, the commit tee on credentials. The chair said that he had already decided that the discussion of the case was out of order at this time. Mr. Vel 1ington of Maryland moved that neither of the contesting delegations be given representation on the committee on creden- tials. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts op- posed the motion and pointed out the danger which might result from setting such precedent. A notice of contest might in that event prevent great State like New York from participating in the framing of the proceedings of the convention. He moved to lay the motion on the table and this mo- tion was agreed to amid applause.
 The convention then at 3:30 adjourned un- til tomorrow at noon and amid strains of music by the band tue delegates and the vast audience filed from the hall.
 The organization of the Connecticut dele- gation is as follows: Chairman, Samuel Fessenden; secretary, Henry R. Parrott; organization, Samuel L. Warner; credentials, B. s. Day; resolutions, N. D. Spsrry; mem Der National committee, Samuel Fessenden.
