The motion to lay on the table was lost by .

stirred up lively racket in warm remuneration OF
the Syracuse delegates. When a contest had been
lodged by an authority that had no existence az
parliamentary law or common sense. In
reality II did not exist and no 70
ouest 10 withdraw IT could be heard II Mr..
Condert was 10 be recognized as the Syracuse
sentative he gave notice that the other side Was
going to be heard or n long while would he consumed
in this DISCUSSION. lie then struck hornets nest
by saying:
Il know there are Democrats in the following OF
Cleveland Haven't y0u voted enough TO anor1 10 10

He denounced the syracuse Convention as made mp
Of "bolters, ard said they would be "called down.
General Bragg warmly asked what the gentleman
meant by saving Democrats for once" lie had boom
a life long Democrat.
Mr.. st. Clar-I do not mean you, Sir but there arc
Mugwumps in your section.

men arr not Democrats, and that the Democratic
party has got that t shall be fenced IN ana
everybody nsutcd who proposes to come In apd vote
with the Democratic party1
St. Clar-Not at all, sir, my venerable friend. bue

people to come In. treating them courteousiy
We want votes We don't wnnt TO drive them away.
We want TO reconcile all differences, and use our
scaplng knives our enemies and not friends"
c. q. O'Brien, OF Minnesota, said Q reason had been
furnished now, II one were wanted When men who
claimed TO be Democrats and friends OF Cleveland had
TO SIT patiently and listen TO speeches such as had
been used Of the majority Of the convention, he
thought any man coming here with clean hands and .
clean record should be heard. The Democrats knew
nothing and cared less about the fight in New York.
except that they told it going be settled,
but a man like Condert should be heard and allowed
10 withdraw the contest and remove the contention.
DonneIly Of Colorado thought II apparent to every
man that II the Syracuse delegates were Democrats
they would not be here, but he was willing 10 hold
ont bis haId and invite them into the faith. It
was because they not Democrats that they had
sought To cast sur on the regular NewYork
Democracy. But II they were manfl enough to
acknowledge their sins he would not cast anything
In tho way OF their repentance and they should be
allowed 10 confess. and II they showed desire
sincerely do better lie favored granting them abb
solution.
Bragg replied to the slurs on the Mugwump.
Nugwump, as he understood IT, man who was
not by but hNt 4f the a: re d.ss gates
were not Mugwumps.
Donnclly again attempted to reply but the majority
was for harmony and cut him OF with cries OF
Question"

talking. All he oblecerto was t.ir surrender OF the
Democratic I-r'y to tho Muewumps, who despise II
they say they are better snan the Democratic party.
Cochran said he would BE- glad % give Coudert all
Of the alleged signatures to the petition asking tho
withdrawal of the contest.
