bell, OF Ohio county, obtained tho floor
and introduced the following resolu-
ton:
"Rcsolred, That al, resolutions offered
be submitted to the committee on reso-
lutions, when appointed, without being
rcad.n . :
The resolutionswas adopted without
debate. a rs
Mr.. Ruplcy, OF Jefferson county, then
arose md made a motion which created
Il sensation and met with vigorous op-
position. It was that all Republicans
present from any county and occupying
seats with their delegations shall be
considered delegates to the convention
and participate as such.
Senator Alex Campbell, OF Ohio coun-
t., was on his feet in an instant with
the point that counties had held pri-
maries and conventions in good faith
and that this proposition was manifest
ly unfair. m -1- r H.. 80 +
Mr.. Rnpley insisted OH his motion,
and after some debate, Mr.. Atkinson
suggested that while he believed Mr..
Ripley meant well he must SEQ that if

who could get into the hall, 4 seat in the
convention, and in that way Berkeley
county could control the convention,

Mr.. Ripley, as well as the convention,
saw the point, and he withdrew his mo-
tion, with the proviso, that all Republi-
canspresent, from whatever county
should be considered advisory but not
voting members OF their respective dele
cations. Mr.. Atkinson said this was suits
factory; that this was n Republican con-
vcntion, and OF course all Republicans
were entitled to the floor and to advise
with their delegates il they desired. This
disposed oil tho matter. q,
