The report was adopted by a decided
majority.
Mr.. Ford House moved to adjourn I'M
Ill o'clock, but finding the opposition
to it nearly unanimous he withdrew it.
Mr.. Nash moved the appointment of
committee OF FIVE on resolutions and
committee of seven to name delegates TO
state and congressional conventions,
W. J. 1llingsworth offered an amend
ment that committee of nine be ap-
pointed, one from each precinct outside
of No. l; that precinct to name two
members of the committee. The amend
ment was seconded and then voted down.
Mr.. Illingsworth called for division.

and the following committees named by
the chair:

MI. Nash then moved that fifty dele
gates be sent to the state convention to
cast the twenty-five votes of Dallas
county, and fifty to the congressional
convention.
Adopted after short debate.
Hon. Sawnie Robertson made a motion
that no man should be sent to the con-
ventiou but the fifty named by the COM
mittee. This precipltated hot debate.
Hon. Bryan T. Barry denounced it as
unwarranted, unheard of and utterly at
variance with Democratic usages. "Why
not allow the committee of five men to
name the delegates, transact our bust
ness and go home. If that is the pro-
gramne and judging from the position
taken by Judge Robertson it is, let it be
carried out. -
Judge Sawnie Robertson - 'That's
what we are here for. - Loud Yells and
cries of "good. ~
Mr.. Barry-''l am opposed to instruct
ing the committee or interfering with it
vention adopting the report before the
report is presented. 1 would consider
that my ward had sent a ninny here if
failed to lift my voice against such pro-
ceedings. 1t looks to me as though the
Hogg men are going far beyond ali
presidents. -
Judge Brock Robertson-HI would
like to ask the gentleman if he is not a
delegate under instructions to vote for
Mr.. Barry-"Yes. sir; and 1 shall |
vote for him However, shall not |
vote for the motion made by Sawnie |
A ripple of excitement swept over the |
and it was evident that con-
siderable opposition had developed to the |
Robertson motion. Hon. Tom Nash, |
as cool as a cucumber, obtained the
floor and proceeded to pour oil on the
seethlng waters of discomfort He saw
no necessity for the adoption of the mo-
ton and appealed to his friend, the
learned jurlst, to withdraw it. The
Judge gracefully complied with the re-
quest and the "tempest in the teapot
subsidized.
Charles F. Crutcher said he had a
little resolution which he would like to
read.
Alderman Kivlin-''Send it to the
on resolutions.
''Let him read it, - chimed in dele
gate in the rear of the building.
After considerable chatting the score
.ary read the resolution as follows:
Be it resolved by. the Democrats of
Dallas county in convention assem- bled:
|. That we acknowledge our allegiance
10 the principles of Democracy, and that
We hereby pledge ourselves to support
The nominees of the party, national and
state. 2. That we will abide by the
action of this convention.
A delegate moved the adoption of the
resolution.
'I offered an amendment, - roared
5awnie Robertson. tInsert the word
Federal for national. 1 am opposed
o the use OF the word national, -
rhe amendment carried by large major
ty.
W. E. Hawkins obtained the floor and
made breezy speech. He wanted the
esolution adopted to compel knights of
labor. Greenbackers, Farmers Alliance
nen and Republicans who have taken
,art in the Democratic conventions to
-ote the straight ticket. The "shotn
and did not have the desired
fleet.
