Right to Admission OF Ten Delegates.
Judge Gideon O. Moody of Dakota
was recognized by the chair. He said !:

ton that will change somewhat the
record already made by the convention,
or by the officers OF 1t. see that upon
the record is borne the name OF Dakota
with two votes allowed which she had

sir, that Dakota be allowed to cast in
this convention ten votes, instead Of
two, and desire, very briefly. to say
THAT We regard as the prominent facts
which should govern this convention
upon this proposition. In the first place,
1t is in accordance with the population
of the territory ut the present time.
Secondly, it is in accordance with the
time honored usage of the republican
convention wherever it has assembled
and when the question has been present
ed. In 1856, wheE that great
pathfinder and leader who honort

the leader of the party at the time, The
territory of Kansas wss giYen nine votes
in that convention. In 1860, when
Abraham Lincoln WAS nominated in this
city, Kansas and Nebraska were each
given six votes in that convention. II

Yention. II was repeated again in 1876
Thus the precedents are all one way
Whenever the question has been pre-.
sented the republican party has dealt
Literally with the territories always. Tbt
democratic party has never dealt, no
merely with liberality. but decent jus.
tice, except when these territories hat
been disrupted by the institution tha
was their support. Now, Mr.
Chairman, we ask this because tht
state of Dakota has been formed enc
has knocked at the door of the unio,
and the republican party has done all il
its power to constitute her state il
the up1on. The democratic party hal
opposed her, has met her at every step
has driven her back every time she ha
taken an advance, and we ask that tn
election OF the democratic perty in ex
cludlng that territory and refusing t.
recognize others shall be rebuked. no
only by the declaration of this grea
body, but also by it's action in permit!
ing us as the precents have gone TO cas-

entitled to had justice ruled.

election, that of 1898, the vote OF New
York was DIVIDED. In only q single
presidential year since Thomas Jeffer-
sons firss term has New York failed to
carry either New Jersey or Connecticut
with it.
The explanation of this curious and
important fact is on the surface. While
the average of political sentiment in
both New Jersey snd Connections APP
pEoaches very near to the New York
average, such variation as there is ex-
tends In one direction in New Jersey
and in the opposite direction in Con-
neoticut. Not only geographically but
politically, New York stands between
New jersey and Connecticut, and which
ever way opinion turns in New York, it
is sure to fad u sympathetic movement
either on the one side or the other. New
York republican with both New jersey
and Connecticut democratic is an i'm
possible conception; and SO ia New York
democratic with both Connecticut and
New jersey republican.
| In making combinations, therefore,
from the figures presented above, our
mathematical friends must bear in mind
the very important fact that the thirty
SIX votes of New York mean also either
the nine votes of New Jersey or the six
votes OF Connections, and probably both

lican psrty nor the democracy will elect

Washington special: The proceedings
in the house to.day relating to the new
congressional library building bear 8
special interest to some people in Ne
braska who nre interested III the con-
tracts for granite in the construction of
this sxpenslve building. All OF the
present contracts and designs were multi
fed by the action the house and stop
put to the work. Mr.. Smith Myer, the
architect whose plans the last congress
accepted and whose services were en-
gagged, has been dismissed, and, by the
| provision PLACED IN the sundry eppro.
| priatiop bill, the two committees In
congress on public buildings and grounds
are instructed to act together ia procar-
| ing plans for the necessary buildings,
| which Will not cost more than $3 ,000,-
| 900, and to receive architectural designs
from five architects, the most avail
able one to be accepted and paid
for. The large contracts for granite pro.
cured by the Nebraska firm are therefore
sbrogatsd. Oh course, the concurrence
| OF the senate will have TO be procured
| before the amendment adopted by the
house to-day will avail anything. The
house committee on appropriations do
not believe thet the senate will endorse
the action taken 10 this matter by the
house, and that the plans now being
worked upon will go ahead to compile
tion. The vote by which all this work
was stopped was quite large, however
la to SO indicating that there is large
majority of the house in favor OF what
was to-day done. The objection to Che
present plans and procedure is that The
cost OF the building will be entirely toe
great $7,000,000 to $10,000.000-
whereas it should not exceed $4,000, 600
The action of the house created conster-
nation among those who are interested
in the contracts and works on the build
ing, and it is the sole topic of converse
tion throughout the city.
