STOP FIXING.
st. Louis June 15.--A debate that for
heat and vigor of language reviled that
of some of the stormy sessions of last
week was precipitated in this mornings
meeting of the national republican COM
mtttee upon the motion of Mr.. Payne of
Wisconsin, changing the basis of repre-
SentatiOn in the next national conVen-
ton In such manner as to increase the
delegations from the north and decrease
those from the south. When the debate
was at its height, Colonel YoungbloOd
of Alabama created a sensation by a
vigorous address, in which he charged
that the conflict among the republicans
in the south and the disruption of the
party in that region We're due to corrupt
men coming from the north with their
pockets full of Doodle to seduce and
fix in the interests of their own Candi-
dates republicans, who, under other
circumstances, would be loyal to party
organization.
stop your fixing" he shouted, stay
at home; the southern republicans can
take care of themselves. Keep your
Doodle at home. The very man who is
accused of first starting disruption in
1880 sits in the senate of the United
States to-day. We don't want your in
reference. We don't want your money.
Let us alone!"
The committee was compelled to meet
in a small guest chamber on an upper
floor. The first business in order was
a proposition to grant four additional
delegates to the District of Columbia
and it was laid on the table by vote
of % to /. Then Colonel Youngblood of
Alabama asked that General Long
street, who is in the city and whose
eyesight and hearing are both affected,
be given the best seat on the platform
where he could observe the proceed
ings. The proposition caused consider
able discussion and was finally referred
to the committee on arrangements
The question was raised whether the
temporary roll of delegates should be
regarded as finally completed, and the
chair replied that it would be so under
stood unless motion to reopen was
made. A Mississippi delegate was on
his feet for this purpose when Colonel
Payne Of Wisconsin was recognized to
submit a motion relative to a change in
the basis Of representation to apply to
the next national convention. 1t was
while this resolution was under discus
sion that the scene occurred.
At the close of the incident, by
vote of 81 to 4, the republican national
committee adopted a resolution as a.
submit for those pending to the effect
that it was ineXpedient to make any
recommendation to the national con-
vention on the subject of change of the
representation. The substitute was
moved by Mr.. Fessenden of Connecti-
cut.
We have won the fight. Gold is the
victor The committee on resolutions
will declare for gold standard, and that
declaration will be adopted by the con-
vention."
Such was the statement made at one
o'clock this afternoon by Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts. He continued:
Since the conference we held last
night we have had returns from many
OF the states that have elected their
members of the committee on resOlu-
tions and we know exactly where We
