cluded six votes in Alabama, four in
Louisiana and two in Mississippi The
gain In the votes was made owing to
the fact that the Harrison mon had
won over three members Of the creden-
tials committee and thereby secured a
majority. Wallace, OF New York, an
nounced the purpose to fight the report
on the floor as to thevot
coesWEII cHERREp.
When Chairman cogswell moved that
the majority report be adopted he was
loudly cheered by the Harrison dele
gates, and when Chauncey ]. Filley, of
Missouri, moved substitute therefore
the applause which followed from the
Blaine delegates told the gallery
that the long expected fight be-
tween the Blaine and Harrison forces
was on. The chief point in Mr.. Filley's
argument in behalf OF the minority re-
port was that the regular organization
Of the party in the Alabama case had
been barred from their regular place of
meeting by United States deputy mar
shals, but Mr.. Massey, Of Delaware,
maintained that the case had been con.
sidered fairly on its merits, and that
the majority report should be adphted.
Mr.. knight, OF California; Epoke
warmly in favor OF the minority report.
He declared that the Mosely faction
recommended by the majority to
be seated had through its federal
officers attempted to thwart the
will Of the people OF Ala
bama. It was enough that the
Democratic party suppressed the will OF
the people in the South without hum
dred thousand office holders thwarting
the will Of Republicans in the party
campaign. He appealed for justice
for the loyal Republicans OF Ala
bama. [L.oud applause.l Intensified
interest was lent to knights speech
the knowledge among the spectators
and delegates that he was to be the first
man TO second the nomination Of
Blaine later on. The vigor and elo-
ouence the Californian displayed cap-
tured the great audience from the out
set and when he concluded the cheering
was tremendous.
Chauncey NJ. Depew in the New York
delegation looked worried at the DEM
onstration, while down the aisle the
Ohioans seemed tickled beyond express
sion, II was a Blaine moment and a
supreme one. B. II. Bothea, Of Illinois,
deprecated the attempt to conjure up
prejudice against the ofiice.lolding
class. lIe made an allnsion OF dcrog-
atory nature to the people OF the Soc
tion from which the contest came,
which, generally speaking, was that
you cannot prove anything by
them. 1t was bad break, and
a large number OF the gallery's occu-
pants hissed, and some cried, .Down!"
Wolcott, OF Colorado, in speaking for
the minority report, warmly denounced
not only the deputy marshals OF Ala
bama, but tho hundreds OF Office holders
who were to-day present in the galleries
and in the hall OF this convention,
