The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1892-03-16

There IS none now, several delegates
in different parts of the hall shouted.
Although Capt. White was near the re-
porters, in the uproar that followed what
he said was not intelligibly heard A
dozen men were on the floor, each fran
tically demanding the recognition of the
chair, but amid it all the captain sturdily
held his ground. He would
not talk while the noise
was at its hight, but Just as it subsidized
ex-Congressman Cheadle rushed to his as
sistance and, swinging his arms and shout
ing at the ton of his voice, demanded a
respectful hearing for the captain.
He said he carried a democratic
district, thing that Harrison
could not do, and in his race for congress
the same year received 400 more votes
than were cast for the republican national
ticket.
The captain then returned to the attack,
saying he meant no reflection on the
character of President Harrison, or any
dlsrespect TO him personally, but there
were thousands OF men in Indiana just as
respectable. "Why should our hands be
tied in this matter" he asked What
has Harrison done to deserve it?"
Everything" was a reply from fifteen
or twenty voices.
"He will lose the state by $4,000 votes"
ana then the confusion began again more
terrific than ever. JEFF Claypool sought
to call the captain down on point of
order you are not speaking to the
question" he said.
What question is there if not these
resolutions" calmly inquired Capt.
White. What public acts has Harrison
done to make him worth such instructions
TO delegates from this convention? Has
he said anything to congress for the work
ing classes ?"
YES yes!" was shouted from all parts
of the hall. Then the uproar was
greater than ever. everybody want
ing TO be heard or taking
part in crying the captain down. All the
oifice-holders from the assistant district
attorney down to deputy L. S. mar
shals were engaged in the racket.
President Sayre recognized no point OF
order and let the captain have every
opportunity TO speak. Others asked for
q respectful hearing for the gentleman
from Fort Wayne, and the latter began
again with "How has Harrison treated
soldiers ?"
Good Good p' was the reply of the
oflice-holders.
Then Assistant District Attorney Cock
rum, who in his republicanism is &c vio-
lent as those in Clay township, Hamilton
county, who outrage decency by keeping
the American flag in a school yard on q par
tisan pole, jumped at the captain vicionsly
81 rise to point of order" he shouted.
This is a republican convention and not
one for man TO spit out his personal
spite or to make democratic speech. II
Is no place for one to vent his
spite on friends of the president and
for him to do so is an insult to the repub'
lican party. Ex-Congressman Johnson,
Frank Posey, ex-senator Hubbell and
Rhody Shiel marched TO the front with
appeals to give the captain 6
respectful hearing, but 10 no purpose. The
convention would listen to nothing
Somebody moved the previous question
and X. T. Mcdonald said with fiery
emphasis that Allen county would submit.
DO it, do il" he exclaimed. LEI
the previous question be put. >
and then directly after that
moved that the delegates be
not instructed. This brought on another
row and finally Posey got the convention
out of its riotous proceedings by calling
attention to the fact that the resolutions
had been read out of place, az the order Of
