DISCUSSION OVER IMMIGRATIoS.
Tho reading OF the resolutions wa:
frequently interrupted by applause
each clause receiving iss full! share. Mr
David Martin, OF Ohio county, objected
to tho immigration resolution. HI
Thought it did not 90 far enough. III
was in favor OF law prohibiting imIi
grafton entirely, and made rather c
lengthy and vehement speech in support
Of his position, which was loudly ap
plaudcd. a. D. White, OF Parkersburg
zead the resolutions end showed tha,
they covered the point, but Mr.. Mar
lin insisted that they did not. Ar
amendment !avo.ing the prohibi
ton OF immigration for twenty
years was offered by G. 4. Davis, O
Harrison county. who made a vigorous
speech in its support. Mr.. White, who
was a member OF the committee, made
q speech defending the wording Of the
resolution. aud during his speech he
made plain that the resolutions recog.
| nizcd the theory advocated BY Mr..
Martin. The debate was then limited
10 three minutes, aud Mr.. Stagger5, Of
Taylor, moved that the report be 70
committed. Mr.. Hart, OF Ohio. op.
posed the motion. declaring that tho
committee had submitted to the con
veution the resolution, which it deemed
properly. covered tho uatter. A prin,
clple had merely been declared; there
was no recommendation OF legislation.
The broad principle was laid down that
the offensive class OF immigration was
unwelcome 20 this country. The con.
vention could not gotoo far to suit him,
but he beloved the proposed resolution
