submit the following amendment to be In
serted therein as resolution, and move its
adoption:
Resolved, That as American citizens and
firm believers in the principles OH 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
majority of that party, and we instruct the
officers of this league to recognize the chair
man chosen by the majority Of the Irish par
liamentary party.
Everybody saw a battle royal was
imminent between the adherents of JUS
tin Mccarthy OH the one hand and the
bulk of the delegates. who favored in
dependence, reinforced by those who
were still for upholding Parnell. At
this interesting juncture, Cookery, OF
Chicago, slipped in suggestion that,
as it was claimed the DOnnelly pro-
duction was not a minority report but a
supplementary resolution, the thing to
do was to adopt the platform and then
vote on the supplement. This seemed
exactly what the McCarthYites did not
want, but it was their own argument,
and they submitted as gracefully as
they could, while the platform was
adopted with hurrah.
Like flash now came motion to
lay the McCarthylte report on the table.
The motion was not debatable, and, to
the chagrln of Judge Donnelly and his
vOce. They rallied promptly, however,
Sharon, of Iowa, demanding call of
states. Kelly, of Wisconsin, impetu-
ously called upon the convention to put
itself on record sin favor of somebody
or something, somewhere or somehow"
but he was smut off by point Of order.
Sharon, of Iowa, and Sweeny, of Ohio,
had similar unpleasant experiences,
and champion parliamentary puzzle or
motions and amendments ensued, with
the apparent object to prevent call OF
states.
NJ. P. Brady, of Chicago, allaycd the
fast rising irritation with brief yet
eloquent appeal, though opposed TO the
amendment, that the convention in the
interest of fair play permit roll call.
Delegate Joyce, another Chicagoan,
wanted the convention to understand
that the roll call would indicate whether
or not the convention proposed to in
dOrse Justin Mccarthy as leader. Con-
fusion reigned for moment, but depre-
catory looks and gestures on all sides
somewhat quieted the more hOt-headed,
ana interest centered in the polling OF
each of the states, particularly Illinois.
Chairman Cookery, of that delegation,
declared the result unanimous TOT pidc'
ing the McCsrthyite resolution on the
table. This was questioned. and Father
Foley, of Iowa, eXcitedly shouted tor a
recount. and wanted to know how many
delegates there were from Illinois.
Much cheering followed when rising
vote of the Illinois delegation showed
153 ayes and Snays.
Fathsr Foley now jumped to his feet
and, wildly shaking roll of paper al
the Illinois men, announced lowa's as ]
