ber than had been polled upon any other
motion. II was worse than nonsense Tor
any member to assert that he voted by mis-
take or misapprehension- The lines had
been closely drawn and the issue clearly
defined.

tinued MI. Sutherland, in ap extremely dig

There was a buzz of excitement as the
speaker concluded. The roll call was re-
sumed. When Ohio was reached, Com
initteeman Hahn, of Mansfield, said with
emphasis that he saw. no reason why the
gentleman from New York should with
draw from the Committee There were

Sensation Caused by a Motion to
Reconsider the Florida Contest.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 11.-There was q
genuine sensation in the meeting of the
national committee tonight. Just as
soon as the contest in the first Mississippi
district had been disposed of, Senator Hans
brough, of North Dakota, with the pre-
liminary explana ton that he did so at
the request of a number Of members who
were not present at the afternoon session,
moved q reconsideration OF the vote by
which the Morton delegates in the first
Florida district were seated.
Gen. Hobart of New Jersey seconded the
motion. Fessenden of Connecticut. uttered
a few words of protest, which were
drowned in cries of vote" The calling
of the roll was commenced and for a few
moments the ayes and nays were about

HILL FACTION WINS.
Sharp Contest in Mississippi Set
tied in Favor of Mckinley.

st. Louis, June I1.-The Georgia roll
having been amended and completed. the
difficulties in Mississippi were the sub
iect of ventilation. and the committee room
and annex filled up rapidly.
First in order was tue contest between
the rival delegates at large. Those claim
ing to be the regular delegates were James
Hill tcolored). John s. Burton, Albert NJ.
Lea. and E. H hampton tcoloredl. These had
Mckinley preferences. as did also the con-
testants, John r. Lynch (coloredl, William
f. Mollison, NJ. A. Montgomery, and T. w.
Collins.
Ex-Congressman Thompson, for the Nc
kinley managers, presented the case OF
the delegation claiming to be regular.
The controversy was shown to he the out
come of the old quarrel between the
Hill and Lynch elements, both being headed
by coOred men.
These two factions OF the Republican
party in Mississippi separated in the con
vention of 1899, but afterwIrd harmon
lied, Hill having u ma jority OF ten in the
consolidated State convention. The com
mittee called the State convention early
in 1896.
1t was arranged that delegates to the
State convention should be admitted to
the hall by tickets. Lynch objected to the
use of tickets, and refusing to accept
them, failed to obtain admission to the
hall and organized another convention.
OF the 267 members of the State conven-
ton, 1877 attended the convention held
by the bill faction, the remainder organ
izing and eiecting separate sets of dele
gates. The Lynch people, however, had
the advantage of having with them the
chairman of the State committee. L. B.
Mosely, who certified the Lynch delegates
as regularly elected.
The committee finally tired of the
sQuabble and while the contestants con-
tinued the controversy in the ante room >
the committee, on motion of James II.
Wilson of Delaware, proxy for National
Committeeman Layton, seated the delegates
by unanimous vote.
A settlement of the fight in the Sixth
Mississippi district was the last business
OF the night.
Capt. Joshua R. Smith and John ].
Garrett were tue contestants. and r. "A.
Simmons and A. j. Hyde, both colored, the
contestees. National Committeeman Hill
made the arg ument for the two first
named, while the colored men told their
own story. they did 1t So impressively that
the committee seated them by an almost
unanimous vote. All four are Mckinley
preferences.

The conference was in session at 10
O'Clock and no information could be secured
as to what had been proposed or adopted.
Mr. Platt is very much in evidence to-
night. He arrived at a late hour this
evening in company with Chairman Hackett,
of the New York State central committee
and Congressman Odell, of Newburgh.
The trio were assigned to a suite of rooms
on the third floor of the Southern Hotel
which has been the mecca OF nearly all

''It wills There is no truth in the
report that he will he withdrawn. He

II hope SO. am much pleased since
my arrival in town to find that so many
delegates favor the gold standard. I
am told that majority of the convention
will be gold men,"

1t may be stated in this come ction that
Mr.. Platt is interesting himself in the eight
New York contests. and a number of the
national committeeman whom he person
ally saw this evening were earnestly re-
Quested by him to see that these contests
were settled wholly upon their merits.
