in Turn hall last night threatened for a
time to furnish one of the liveliest
scraps of the season. The minority,
though greatly outnumbered, was siren

resolutions. The chair ruled him out Of

Barlow appealed from the decision of |
the chair, and in an instant half doz-
en- delegates in various parts of the
hall were on their feet seeking recogni-
ton from the chair. Mr. Barlow want
ed an aye and nay vote on his appeal, |
but an amendment for a viva voce vote
prevailed. The chair declared that the
ruling of the chair had been sustained
on the viva voce vote, and the decision
was doubted. At least dozen dele
gates wanted to speak, and the chair
man was unable to make them subside,
