would be BY a suspension of the rules.
Mr.. Foley moved that the rules be sus-
pended. The Chair decided the motion out
of order. Mr.. O'Leary appealed from the
decision of the Chair and the convention
broke loose Messrs. Foley and O'Leary
were the chief takers, but the Chair calmly
raped them down, and when he had
pounded out order he called Jury Commits
sioner Mullen to the chair.
Mr.. Dougherty was very brief in his rea-
sons supporting bis decision. Els ruling
was based on the fact that there was then
pending a motion before the house. .
Mr.. Foley attempted to discuss the SUBJ
iect. but Chairman Dougherty, from the
aoor, raised point of order that Mr.. Foley
had no right to discuss the subject, and the
noint was declared we'll taken. Mr.. O'Leary
then took the floor. but Chairman Dougherty
again insisted on point of order that the
speaker was not conining himself to the
appeal. Again Dougherty was sustained,
but by close vote.
MI. Dougnerty resumed the chair again
and sat on Mr.. Foley for getting off the ex-
act line of parliamentary procedure. MI.
Carr, of the Twenty-seventh ward, called at
tention to the fact that it took two-thirds
vote to suspend the rules, and was cheered,
while ono enthusiastic anti -Clevelander
cried, 'That's right, Paddy"
Bremen Files His Objections.
Mr.. Bremen made an impassioned speech
against suspending the rules and against the
resolutions. He could see no use in pass
ing the resolutions; they bound no one,
either at Harrisburg or elsewhere, tor they
were not drawn that way. MI. Foley had
always before objected to such course and
he didn't know why he brought such fire.
brand to the convention.
resolutions in good faith. he was opposed
to any committee; they might be smothered
In the committee. There was some further
discussion and then the motion to suspend
the rules was carried by vote of 56 ayes
to q noes.
Once again Chairman Dougherty and Mr..
Foley came together on parliamentary law
and again the Chairman making Mr.. Foley
offer his resolutions Of praise for the ad-
ministration and Endorsement for Cleve-
land.
MI. Bremen moved to amend by striking
out all reference to Cleveland, leaving the
resolutions merely an Endorsement Of the
Pattison administration.
In support of this he said he spoke not as
an anti-Cleveland man, and he asked every
expression of man whose only desire is to
see Democrat elected President He had
no az to grind, no Office to seek. He was
willing to 20 further than his amendment;
he believed it the duty of Pennsylvanians
to stand at the back of that noble man,
Governor Pattison, and indorse him for
President. There was no reason for Penn
sylvanians to run to New York for candi-
date while they have such man among
them, who had twice carried the State. Why
not indorse your own noble and upright
Governor instead Of running after man
whom his own, State repudiates?
understand me" cried the fiery little
Chairman of tho County Committee, 81
don't believe that Hill can be elected. Does
anyone believe that Cleveland can be
elected?"
Mr.. Foley knew of no bolt in New York
county could support the resolutions.
j. W. Sullivan then introduced substi-
tute for the original resolution indorsing
Governor Pattison for President The
amendment was put to vote and the Chair
announced that it had carried.
There was a row at once. Over all the
noise Mr.. O'Leary sent his voice and offered
as a substitute for Mr.. Brennen's 8 amendment
as amended by Mr.. Sullivan the original
resolution.
Calling Down tile Chairman.
The Chair decided the substitute out of
order. MI. Foley was shouting and Mr..
Bremen was talking to him for peace. Mr..
Foley shook his head aud kept up his shouts
while Chairman Dougherty, smiling placid
ly, keeps up q rapping with his gavel and
declares Mr. Foley out of order. In the
midst of the noise MI. Foley managed to
say: IT am in order, while the Chair is out
Of order. Yon are going against two-thirds
Of this convention, and you are making
spectacle out of yourself"
Smilingly the Chair raped the con-
vention to order and Mr.. O'Leary again
offered the original as substitute, only to
have it ruled out. He appealed and Mr..
Chair.
The appeal was sustained and then the
resolutions were passed. The State dele
gates were elected and the convention ad-
journed.
