Mr.. Symms, of Virginia, arose to Sc
cond the nomination Of Phelps.
He said that Virginia had
not occupied much of the time
of the convention. Laughter.
She had been first In war, (mOre laugh
teri and he hoped that now that there
was peace she would again follow the
career of the father of his country. He
had always admired William Walter
Phelps since his college days; an
other candidate had been lauded for
his generosity, but who was more gen.
erous than William Walter Phelps,
who had given whole town to tax
and who was second to no man in the
United States in those generous quail
ties which excite the admiration of the
world. New York asked for Morton as a
boon, while the convention had given
New York big boom, it had pointed
the way and given ~ votes for Har-
rison and we had gone over and NOM
mated him, now give us the little boon
we ask for, give us VIM. Walter
Phelps.
Mr.. Marsh, of Illinois. rose to sec
ond the nomination of MIR. Morton.
saying that Illinois proposed to do for
the doubtful state of New York what
she had already done for the doubtful
state of Indiana. [Applause.]
General Chalmers, of Mississippi,
gave his political history and explain
ed how it was that he had left the
democratic party with its hide of no
tionS to join party OF progress, he
was not in favor of selecting south
ern republican for the second place on
the ticket, that he would be like the

not be politics. GApplause.l Wisdom,
policy and the best interests of the

MIR. Chalmers made to the the effect
! that half of the Mississippi delegation
was composed of eX-cOnfederate SOL

Several others spoke seconding the

Mr.. Boutelle, of Maine AROSE and said
that in behalf of a large number of
| delegates he desired to move to suS-
pend the rules and adopt a resolution
to be added to the republican plat
form.
Mr.. Oliver, of Pennsylvania, arose
/ to a point of order that it was not in
order to offer resolution at this time.
The chairman stated that Mr.. BOu-
telle's motion was one to suspend the
rules which would require to be sec
onded by two yeas and could only be
agreed to by a two-third vote.
Then Boutelle proceeded to talk in re-
gard to the fireSide of the nation when
an objection was made that debate
was not in order.
The chair sustained this point, but
stated that it was in order for the gen.
tleman from Maine to read the resolu-
ton for information. But to this there
was a chorus of objections and Mr..
Oliver, of Pennsylvania, standing on a
his chair and gesticulating wildly, de-
clared that all resolutions should be
referred to the committee on resolu!..
| lions. "Stand by your platform, y
Kisses and shouts of put him out, F"
''sit down. ''shut up" came in a
chorus from the galleries and hard
blood was being engendered amid the
widest confusion.
The chair became angry and COM
manded the gentleman to take his seat,
stating that if he did not do so instant
ly the sergeant at arms would be di-
rected to take him into custody.
There is going to be order here
declared the chair but the
round of cheers which greeted the dec
laration rather weakened its strength;
for some minutes all was chaos and
the gavel of the chairman sounded in
a constant rap, and the gentleman
, from Pennsylvania stood on his chair
and shouted, the galleries yelled and
. cheered and Kissed while the numer.
Gus SergeantS-at-armS were utterly
powerless to check the uproar in the
confusion.
Johnston, of New York, sought to
get the floor and Hustled raised the
point of order that nothing could bt
done except to vote upon motion t.
, suspend the rules and that BoutellE
, had no right to proceed either with 1
speech or to read the resolution.
! The chair ruled that the point of or
der was not we'll taken and then annie
.. further confusion, Mr.. Olney, of Penn
: sylvania, wildly appealed to the chat
! and created a scene of confusion, IN
! gesticuIated and would no
take his seat as tn
: chairs request. He did not desire t.
: have the resolution read and tn
chairman sent down the sergean
| at arms to Mr.. Oliver who succeeded
3 finally in getting that gentleman t.
!, take his seat.
Delegate appealed from the chair
, mans decision, but his appeal was no
. recorded.
Senator Hiscock saw that it was ali
: solutely necessary that the resolution
= be read for information and the reput
= lican party was not afraid to meet an
question. Finally quiet was restore
i and Mr.. Boutelle read his resolution a
= follows:
The first concern of all good govern
ment is the virtue and Sobriety of til
Z people and the purity of their home:
! and the republican party cordial
u u sympathizes with all wise and well di
rected efforts for the promotion c
= temperance and morality. AS soon q
y this was read there was rush froI
u the various states tOsecond the motto
- and after some time the question wa

- rising vote, only one delegate frol
= Maryland being brave enough to II
y cord himself in the negative.
~ A vote of thanks was then tendere
u to the chairman and other member
of the convention and then on motto
ed of Mr.. Hiscock the convention at s.!
r. adjourned without day.
