EVENING SESSION.
The proceedings of the evening ses-
sion were opened few minutes before
q p. M, when Chairman White called
the convention to order.
At that time Ex-Governor Flower of
New York and a fair proportion of the
New York delegates were occupying the
seats in their section, Hill and Whitney
having left the city in the afternoon.
Most of the New Jersey delegates were
also present. The fact that both the
State delegations had declined to par
ticipate in the balloting for the Presi-
Dental candidate made their presence
a matter of remark.
The Chairman announced that after
the nomination for VicePresident
should be made whenever that might
be- the Committee on Notification would
at once meet in the rooms of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, to the right of
the Chair. He then stated that General
Bragg of Wisconsin desired to make
some remarks, and he accordingly in
troduced the gentleman to the conven-
ton.
General Bragg said: II rise, Mr.
Chairman, on a question of State priv
ilege When the delegation of WiscOn-
sin was to-day engaged in private con-
suItation as to what should be done by
it in the future, some gentleman q sup
pose he was gentleman; in fact, l
know him to be such) stole the colors of
our State and passed them as the repre-
sentation of my delegation and of my
State into the trail of the victor, for
whom we had refused to cast our votes.
7 make this statement not in order to
cast a reflection on anybody, but sim
plv to place the State which 1 represent
as its Chairman right. so that the rec
ord will show that we trailed not the
Wisconsin badger behind the votes of
the majority of this convention" :"
(Cheers.)
Mr.. Dockery attempted to take the
stand to answer General Bragg's re-
marks, and as the two Wisconsin an
tagonists confronted each other General
Bragg shook his finger in Dockery' S
face and said: IF you make any per-
sonal remarks about me you will suffer
| for it."
The Chairman remarked that what
ever asperity might exist between the
| gt utlemen from Wisconsin they ought
not to enter into an alteration. He was
satisfied that the gentlemen in the end
| would be found supporting the ticket,
and he refused to recognize Dockery for
| the purpose of addressing the conven-
| ton.
Dockery then left the stand, and this
| terminated the incident.
| Governor Stone of Missouri was next
recognized to move an adjournment.
He said the work thus far done had
| been, in his Judgment well done, but
| they had yet to name an associate for
their great leader on the ticket. He be-
lieved this was an important work,
which should not be hastily or incon-
siderately performed. 1t should, on the
| contrary, be performed in the most ma
| t,,re and deliberate manner possible and
| to the end that the delegations might
have the opportunity to confer with
each other and arrive at conclusion
which in the end would strengthen the
| ticket, and in order that no mistake
might be made he moved that the con-
vention do adjourn until II o'clock to-
! morrow.
