A resolution indorsing Chief Justice
Pemberton was introduced by Peter
Breen, and II stirred up the greatest
kind of trouble and was finally de-
clared out of order by the the autocrat
i'm the chair. The resolution read as
follows:
Resolved. That this convention of
the populist party of the county of
Silver Bow, state of Montana. express
our unqualified approval OF the man
ner in which our fellow townsman,
the Hon. w. Y. Pemberton, has dis
charged the duties devolving upon him
as chief justice of the supreme court
of the state of Montana. and we pledge
ourselves to use all honorable means
to secure his denomination and r~e-elec-
ton to the position which he has hlled
so c~reditably TO himself and so ac-
ceptably to the whole people or the
state" !
Paddy Mcmahon jumped into the air
and made a motion to table the resolu-
ton.
A Howl of Disapproval.
Chairman Shiffelbin put the motion
after il had been seconded. The noes
seemed to hav 1t, but the chairman
declared the motion carried and then
there went up a howl of disapproVal.
There was a demand for a rising vote
and Chairman Shiffelbin arose in his
chair and made a talk against the reso-
luton. Breen called the chairman to
order and a rising vote on the motion to
table was called and the motion was
voted down. The resolution itself then
came in for more discussion, and Mr.. F
O'MaIley. in his talk. took occasion to
refer to the newspapers in an uncompli-
mentary way, and thus proved his
good standing as a %populist. He said he
would not have his hands tied by the
resolution If II was adopted.
John l.. Davis also denounced the res
olution and said: so help me God" he
would not be bound by II.
T. r.. Kinds argued that the conven-
tion had a perfect right to instruct It's
delegates. and Shiffelbin got up again
and said he would ignore the resolution
and vote in the state convention as he
pleased. You can lead a horse to wat
err. but you cannot make him drink
said Shiffelbin. you can drown him."
said a voice in the rear. O'Malley
talked again and emphasized his re-
marks with frequent profanity.
The chairman then put the question
in this way:
"All in favor OF tying and gagging
the delegation TO the state convention,
will say aye"
Indignant protests came from a num-
Der of delegates and demands were
made that he withdraw his remarks.
The chairman then caught a bright
idea. The chairman will declare the
u of order in a populist
convention he said. II will take the
bull by the horns
Then there was another howl. Kinds
called for an appeal. Il will take the
bull by the horns again" said Chairman
Shiffelbin. and will rule that there is
no appeal"
Cur and "a sneak.
There were howls Of approval and
cries of protest. THE only other mo-
ton in order is a motion 10 adjourn"
yelled the chairman at the top Of his
voice in order TO make himself heard
above the uproar.
Mr.. Kinds wanted TO say something.
but all tina could be heard above the
noise was his remark that he desired to
the chairman on the able
and impartial way in which he presided
over the convention and that he pro-
posed TO cage him as a curiosity.
Peter Breen. white n trembling with
stepped up before the chairman |
and shaking his fist at Shinelbin, said: |
Il want TO say TO you that I have
made up my mind that the original i'm
