could be put, Judge Donelly Of Wisconsin
arose and announced that there was a
minority report He argued that the
minority did not disagree with anything
in the majority report, except that it did
not go far enough. In the language OF
our distinguished fellow citizen ex-Presi-
lent Cleveland"-[an uproarious out
burst of applause instantly interrupted
Donnelly. With some embarrassment
he proceeded: 1T Is a condition. not q
theory, that confronts us in Ireland"
McQuirk, of Iowa. demanded on a
point of order. that Donnelly first read
the minority report. but the convention
allowed HIM to continue explaining.
He wished the convention to recognize
a governing party In Ireland. They
should boldly and m~anfully meet the issue
and declare that in Ireland, as elsewhere,
the majority should rule.
Dyman, of New York. called upon the
chair to cut short the speech and Don
nelly then proceeded TO read the minority
report, signed by himself. Sharon, of
Iowa, and O'Brien. of Georgia.
1t declares approval of the majority re-
port but begs leave to have the following
inserted in it: "Resolued. That as Amer
lean citizens and firm believers in the
principles on which our government is
founded, we can recognize the claim OF no
person to the craftsmanship of the Irish
parliamentary party which is not founded
on the consent and approval of the major
lty OF that party, and we instruct the Off
GERS of this league to recognize the chair
man chosen by the majority of the Irish
parliamentary party"
Corkerv OF Chicago suggested that the
thing to do was first to adopt the platform
and then vote on DoDnelly's supplement.
This seemed exactly what the Mccarthy.
ties didn't want, but it was their W
argument and they submitted as grace
fully as thev could, while the platform
was adopted with a hurrah.
Then like a flash came a motion to lay
the McCarthyite report on the table and to
the chagrin OF the Donnclly party it was
declared viva voce, They rallied. how
ever, Sharon, of Iowa, demanding a call
OF the states. Then there was a tangle
OF motions and amendments. Delegate
joyce, of Chicago, wanted the convention
to understand that the roll call would in
dictate whether or not the body proposed
to indorse Justin Mccarthy as leader.
Kisses greeted this the first and only
mention in the convention of the name
OF either OF the opposing leaders in Ire
land. Confusion reigned for a moment.
but finally the roll call began.
Chairman Cookery OF the Illinois dele
cation declared that body unanimous for
placing the McCarthyite resolution on the
table. This was questioned and Father
Foley of Iowa exrtedly shouted for a re-
count, and wanted to know how many
delegates there were from Illinois. Much
cheering followed when the rising vote of
the Illinois delegation showed 1853 yeas
and 8 nays. Father Foley now jumped to
his feet and announced Iowa's vote as 2
ayes and Is noes, pa~ssIonately adding,
and they represent more money, too,
than all the men from Illinois," WIS.,
consin also voted 7 ayes and III noes. But
in a great majority of the states the bulk
OF ballots were against endorsing Nc
Carthy and the minority report was effect
ually shelved. New York voted solid As
ayes.
Secretary Sutton was given leave to
omit the reading of his report because of
its length; but the convention adopted it.
Chairman Smythe of Rhode Island
elected a round of applause by the an
nouncement that the %trcasurer's books
showed the leagues accounts correct with
a balance on hand of 81, 0S5.
Then came the election OF officers. M.
