allow the committee on resolutions to re-
port.
A noteworthy incident, showing the
way conventios are constructed, oc-
Cured in the deliberations Of the COM
mittee. The committee was considering
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Bexar county
democratic delegates to the Austin con-
vention to select delegates to the national
convention cast the vote OF Bexar county
as unit for II. NJ. Paschsl and j. +.
Onion as delegates from the Twelfth con-
gressional district to Chicago" c. L.
Bates moved to substitute B. f. McNulty
for Paschal.
Joe. Cassiano must have been Mapping
little, for when Bryan Callaghan, chair
man, put the motion, Cassiano gave the
WAX and every committeeman held up
his hand, voting aye. Bryan cleared up
his throat. said he guessed there was a
misunderstanding somewhere and gave
Cassiano vicious kick under the table.
Cassiano rather meekly and Disconnected
ly confessed he would like to hear the
motion again. When the next vote was
taken, 1t stood fifteen to tive against Mr..
McNulty.
A minority report was submitted as
well as q majority report, but before
either one could be acted upon some one
moved that each resolution be adopted
separately, thus involving the convention
In long arguments as to the nature and
purpose OF committees and on the adopt
ing OF reports as whole.
The scene was as II all pandemonium
had broken loose. Every one shouted,
howled and stamped so as to be sure to
| let no one hear. Mr.. WurZbach finally
obtained the floor and desired to amend
10 m a N 10
name Of b. f. McNulty for that Of 7. NJ.
Paschal. This preclpitated the fight
anew. and Chairman Russ ruled that the
report could not be amended until acted
upon. Mr.. Wurzbach now moved ad
journment, and was ruled out of order.
| He then appealed from the chair, but
could obtain no recognition.
The chairman then announced that the
vote was gpon the adoption or rejection
Of the majority report. The vote was by
precinct. Precinct No. 10 had five votes,
| but was not represented, and when
1t was reached in the roll call
Cassano yelled precinct No. 10 votes
aye" The attention Of the secretary
was called to the fact Of non representa-
ton, and the gentleman was promptly
called down. Precinct No. 40, with three
votes, attempted to vote both ways.
| Amid the most disgraceful scenes the
| report of the committee on resolution
was adopted by a vote of 100 to 3d.
The following endorsements were made
by the committee; c. A. Culberson fol
governor; Robert L. Stayton, first choice
and A. J. Baker, second choice, for land
commissioner; J. D. Mccall, for railroad
commissioner; Perry,J. Lewis, for state
senator; Hon. r. w. Finley, for comp
troller; VIM. b. Workman, for treasurer
Judge Davidson, for Judge OF court o.
criminal appeals; L. G. Denman, fol
Justice of supreme court; T. M. Pascha
and j. +. Onion, for delegates to the ma
tional convention.
There were between two hundred and
three hundred delegates sent to the differ
emit convention, the list comprising ap
parently the total democratic voting
strength of BeXar county, with a few
republicans, one OF whom is now located
in Colorado opening silver mines RICH
along, sprinkling of pops, Mexican liz
dams and so forth.
