offered an amendment, which was
ruled out of order.
Mr.. Cruise demanded the previous
question upon the question of the adop-
tion of the minority report The dele
gates voted by roll call of counties, tbe
result being: Aye, "a; no, 10. Harri-
son county voted almost solidly for the
minority report, and Lewis and Ohio
each added two votes. The remainder
of the district voted solidly against the
substitute. The announcement OF the
vote was received with tremendous
outburst OF applause.
Then Mr.. Snider, of Gilmer took the
floor and offered the following amend
ment:
THE AMENDMENT.
And we here denounce the protection
features of the Senate bill. the emoodl-
ment of which was therein secured at the
dictation of trusts and monopolies and
through their corrupt influence and hold as
traitors to their party and 10 the people the
Senators whose treachery to the cause OF
tariff reform made the enactment Of such
features possible.
Mr.. Snyder attempted to speak In

even partially successful. The scene
was one OF wild disorder. almost un-
parallelled in the history OF political
conventions in the First Congressional
District. Twenty delegates went on
their feet at one time, vainly clamoring
for recognition from the chair, and with
the other delegates trying TO cry
them down. The spectators stood in
the ases and encroached upon the
space reserved for the delegates. The
amendment was put TO vote as soon
as comparative order was secured and
was lost on an aye and no vote.
THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTIONS
were then put and went through with
a whirl. With this troublesome Ques-
tion out OF the way the delegates be-
came more orderly and proceeded In
business like way. The next order of
business was to place in nomination
candidates for Congress. A resolution
was adopted limiting nominat-
ing speeches to i've minutes
each and secOnding speeches
to two minutes each. The secretary
then proceeded with the roll call.
Brooke county gave way to Ohio. Col.
Arnett stepped out in front OF the chair
mans desk and to the surprise OF all
but the Ohio county delegates placed
HoN. JOHN A. HOWARD
in nomination. He euloglzed his candi-
date as a man with heart as tough as
tough as an Irish oak yet as soft as the
strains of Killarney; one whose banner
is aevar furled. whose cause never fails,
possessing a splendid intellect, logical
debater and q magnificent and thrill
ing orator. Col. Arnett led his hearers
sgilfully TO his climax, and when he
mentioned Mr.. Howard's name the con-
vention broke forth into round after
round OF applause.
Col. Arnetts speech was one OF the
best efforts Of the day, and when Brax-
ton was called, w. e. r. Byrne named
James b. Fowler, stating that Braxton
desired to put forward her right for
recognition in q division of the Offices.
L. Lee Wolf, of Harrison county,
placed the name of Winfield Scott be-
fore the convention In an excellent ad-
dress.
w. W. Brannon, OF Lewis, seconded
the nomination OF Mr.. Howard.
Col. Jos. w. Galaher was placed In
nomination by delegate from Mar
shall, and his name was loudly cheered.
When Ohio county was called, Hon.
Louis Delaplaine seconded the nomina-
tion of Col. Gallsher and the conven-
tion then proceeded TO ballot
