 ! made a motion to adjourn. The chair ruled that I had no right to make the motion at that time, On that LOOK an appeal from the. decision or the cha hr- that, should have precedence over ths ahneaf of the gentleman from lMohtkomery. The last appeal should
 be settled first, and I contend that majority Of this Convention have a right to adjourn, se Mir. Jones--I respectfully insist that we are entitled to have this vote, and ask the chair respectfully If he is going to put the question.
