Mr.. Rosenthal arose to a question of
personal privilege, saying that he would
not allow his name to go before the con-
vention.
Quincy of Galveston took the stand to
say few words. The committee had
reported the name of Capt. Wright of
Paris, but there was misconception
about his views. He asked in behalf of
the Republican party that the convention
construe him from the standpoint
of reason and not passion. In order to
harmonic all difference he asked Capt.
Wright
TO EXPLAIN HIS VIEWS.
He appealed to everybody to listen to
him.
Capt. Wright stood on his chair and
said az would say the honor of presid-
ing over this meeting has not been
thought of nor desired by me. l am a
part of no faction, and If made the chair
man of the convention l shall keep to the
great principle of Republicanism. If 1
am elected [ can say will have the name
of no committeeman in pocket. -
Mr.. Akers spoke in favor of Wright,
saying it was an insult to ask Wright to
explain himself. he moved the adop-
ton of the majority report.
a committee of three consisting
of MeSsrs. Rosenthal, Dickinson
and Quincy was named to
escort Capt. Wright to the
chair. Mr.. Rosenthal introduced him
in few words and Capt. Wright ad-
dressed the convention as follows:
