the motion.
W. G. Van Horne moved to amend
the resolutions so that they not only
endorsed but nominated the Democratic
nominees. The motion was adopted.
TO HELP NEBRASKA.
The secretary read a communication
received by Hon, Thomas W. Kearns
from che chairman of the Nebraska
Democratic state committee, asking
that silver speakers and money be sent
into the stase of Nebraska, in order
that the state may be carried for Bry-
an. Mr.. Kearns recommended that the
request of the Nebraskans be granted
as far as possible. Mr.. Kearns guaran-
! teed the expenses of any speaker who
might offer his services.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization was again taken
up and the latter portion of the fifth
section considered.
George NJ. Cannon moved its adcp-
ton. The section was adopted.
Upon motion of w. g. Van Horne,
I the fifth section was amended to- read
that if the Mount Pleasant convention
should refuse to confer with the COM
mittee of the Independent Republicans
then such committee shall constitute
the state central committee of the indie
NOT LOOKING FOR HARMONY.
A motion was made by ]. S. Daveler
TO change the seventh order of bust
ness from adjournment 10 nomination
of a candidate for congress.
w. H. Callister moved to indefinitely
postpone consideration of the motion.
The motion was overwhelmingly de-
feated.
George NJ. Cannon spoke at length
against the adoption of the amendment.
He thought that action should be de-
ferred until the Ogden convention
Colonel Squires Interrupted the speak
er as to what assurance the Indepen-
dent Republicans had that they will be
given seats in the ogden convention.
Cannon replied that the convention
would not dare to adopt such arbitrary
measures. If they do, then it will be
time to act.
Joe Lippman thought the committee
on permanent organization exceeded
its authority. 1t had no business to
report such an order of business. He
did not see how the Independent Re
publicans could break into the Ogden
convention. His speech was tinctured
with much business"
Cannon wanted to know where he
would find provision for the nomination
the call. Cannon denied it. Lippman
answered that the language of the call
land for the election of such other off,
GERS as may be deemed necessary ap-
piled to congressman. Judge Gilchrist
commenced d characteristic speech and
when some delegate attempted to 81
lence him sent the convention into
paroxysms OF laughter by saying II
/ admit [ am full of Bryan"
| ri,
speech against the adoption of the
| amendment.
, S. H. Love moved to adjourn until
} 1880 o'clock in order to give the dele
gates time to consider the matter.
There was much opposition to the
, motion manifested by the country dele
! gates and the motion was consequently
lost.
a Daveler's amendment was then put
t to the convention and adopted.
t Mr. Murphy, of Weber, at this point
} relieved Chairman Allen and a recess
of five minutes was taken to allow the
. different county delegations to select
