Missed.
When Wisconsin was called. Gen.
Bragg announced he was instructed by
q majority Of the Wisconsin delegation
to cast no vote.
One of the silver delegates challenged
this, and insisted on the call OF tine
roll Of the state. The result was nine
ty-one delegates refused to vote. SEN
ator Money made the point of order
that instructions to delegation to vote
as a unit could not stife the will OF
any who desired TO vote. Gen. Bragg
made tlle statement as to the return of
the Wisconsin delegation, and was
replied to from the platform by Dele
gate Dodkery, one of the silver hot
srlr5 from Wisconsin. He aroused
great enthusiasm by declaring that If
Wiaeonsin's will was stifed here 1t
would be heard for silver in November.
The Tammany orator ex-senator
Grady, made fiery protest against a
ruling which he contended would prac-
t!caliy abrogate the unit rule. The
delegation grew still as Senator White,
the chairman, finally ruled that until
the rule of instructions did mot con
template refusal of delegations to vote.
He ruled that all silent votes should be
considered absentees, but that every
delegate present who desired to vote
had right to have their votes regis
tered. This ruling was loudly cheered
as it blazed way for ultimate ruling
that two-thirds required to nominate
within the meaning of the rule, were
two-thirds Of the votes cast, accord
ing to the precedent of 1916. Tine name
of Henry M. Teller was for the first
