 Mir. Bulger here took the chair.
 Upon the call of the roll ll2 delegates responded to their names.
 MT. Samford-I rise to a point of personal privilege. In some of the re- marks which l had the honor to make yesterday I find some of the sentences were misunderstood, and they have been incorrectly reported. In the fourth column nearly midway. l asked Why should you make such a quail fcation as that?" That Is proper. How many would you qualify If you put in mere property qualification? Many of the best men in Alabama" l did not say that at all, and that should be stricken out. How many men would you disqualify by that first sub division of the fifth section-men who cannot read nor write.'' That is prop CT. A little further down. speaking in- cidentally of Voltaire, the report, Be lieving in nothing. he did not believe in NGod." I said He did believe in God, but actually repudiated the great truths of Christianity" A little lower down it Is said. Your general literary attainments teach you nothing except . capacity may be to acquire" etc. That is not it. I said, Your general literary attainments teach>you nothing except to acquire great moral truths, etc. I wish to have those words that have poined out corrected.
 The President pro tem-The stenog- rapher will make note of the correction.
 Mir. deGraffenreid-I desire to have the stenographic report of last Mon days proceedings corrected. On that day, while the gentleman from Wilcox had the floor. I asked him a question. The question as it appears in the stem ographic report is incoherent and not sensible. and it affects somewhat the continuity of the very excellent speech of the gentleman from Wilcox. I do not desire to take up the time of the Convention in asking that this cor rection be made. and handed the cor rection to the official stenographer, and the correction is in the proceedings of yesterday. but it failed to show to whom that question was propounded. l ask that the correction be maoe.
 The President pro tem-The stenog- rapher will make note of the correction.
 MT. Sollie-I rise to a. point or per- sonal privilege. In the remarks sub mitted by me yesterday to the Conven- fion, appears the word ''enunciamento." I think the mistake is mine and not the stenOgrapher's. evidently should have said "pronunciamento." Perhaps I might have the privilege of making a word if like to as much as MT. ' SDSScE UT MI NOICSS(CL, bub uO not choose to claim it..
 MT. Leigh-In yesterdays report I am credited with making a motion to reconsider the vote by which MT. San ford's amendment was lost. The amendment was to number the poll lists and the ballots. The motion was not made by myself but by Mir. Jack son from Lee. and I request that the stenographic report be corrected so as to speak the truth.
 Mir. Jackson-I assume the responsi- bility of having made that mistake. wanted to assist the gentleman from Montgomery when motion was made to table his amendment, while he was preparing to correct 1t.
 Mir. Wnite-On yesterday I asked to have the stenographic report corrected in the proceedings on Friday. I quoted from the remarks of the gentleman from Calhoun, but they are not cor rectly reported in yesterdays proceed ings. In quoting from him, And the gentleman from Jefferson (Mr. White) would have us believe that the main tenance of good government is in dan ger under conditions now prevailing in this State." I said, not in danger" 1 ask to have the correction made.
 The President-The stenographer will make note of the correction.
 Mir. Dent-I desire 10 have a cor Tection made in the stenographic re- port. Where I asked to have a correc tion made on yesterday, I am credited with saying. like the gentleman from "Talladega," it should be the gentle man from "Tallapoosa." I ask to have the correction made. There are also some corrections I would like to have made in the remarks I made on yes Aerday. l ask the privilege of calling the stenographic reporters attention to st. It Is merely a difference of some periods and one or two words.
 Mir. Beddow-I desire to have a cor rection made in the stenograph re- port. On yesterday, when l was ad- dressing myself to the matter of the reconsideration of the foreign element voting that had heretofore been en- titled to vote. I am reported as saying that T had hoped upon mature reflec- ton by this Committee on Suffrage, that has offered us such magnificent plan, that the motion to reconsider would not be opposed" That Is a di- rect contradiction to the remarks. said, 'I had hoped that the motion to would not be pressed"
 MT. President, while l am on my feet, I desire also to address myself to a matter of personal privilege.
 The President-The gentleman may state the question of privilege
 Mir. Beddow-On yesterday afternoon the gentleman from Pike (Mr. Sam ford) in answering speech that made. took occasion to make the fCl- lowing remarks: When it comes to the of Soo of veteran of the
