Peter Hanson, as such Delegates
Motion was seconded by George A.
Spaulding. This motion caused con-
siderable feeling, several delegates
trying to talk at once.
D. L. Smith stated that the delega-
ton was acceptable to Mr.. Bisseli.
Mr.. Drumhiller SAID that the con-
vention should choose the delegates
and not NJ. BisselI, and talked about
States, ito be traded for patronage
etc.
Judge Pratt favored the delegation.
and said that such charges were I'M
just, that the delegation would carry
out the wishes of the convention.
Van e. Huginen said he was a Bis
sell man. 1t was unjust to Mr.. Bis
sell to say that he wanted a delepa-
ton that he could trade for the pat
ronage of the district He was told
since coming to town that a slate was
made up for the delegates to vote for
but he did not believe it.
MIR. Drumhiller closed. He did
not find fault with the delegates or
MIR. Bissell. but in the manner of Sc
lection. If Mr.. Blssell or his friends
could not submit 10 the will of the
convention, they had better stay cut.
Let the longest pole knock the per
summon.

of instructions; the motion was lost.
