A delegate who ATTEMPTED to make some
remarks while the last nomination was be-
ing made, about the management Of chill
dren at school, nearly caused a serious mis-
understanding between reporter and the
Chairman. The reporter in question rose to
ask the delegates name, when the Char

what he considered an attempt to inter-
fere with the liberty of the delegate, and
after making some very severe remarks
asked the convention what should be done to
the reporter. . Throw him out" was yelled
back by number of excited delegates. 1t
