E. p. willett. aesnsr williams. To- tai nays, q. So the motion to table provided. During the roll call. Governor Thos. e. Jones--I vote mo-
 simply from the fact that think my friend from Walker ought to have 2
 chance to be heard. Otherwise would vote aye.
 MT. Gesner williams-I vote mo" but
 1t is not indicative of my feelings.
 think though, that this is an open | question and will be more of an tpen question. and this is as good time to l discuss it as any. Therefore, vots no.
 Mr. Burns--I ask leave to explain my vote.
 The leave was given. Mir. Burns--I was heartily in favor of the resolution to reconsider but on | account of reason assigned for It, snail vote aye.
 MT. dcGraffenried--I move to ad- journ until tomorrow at Il o'clock. Cries of Seats"
 Mr. Long (Walker)-The resolution | under which those seats are to be drawn provided for page to be se- lected by the President. This Conven- l ton is without pages. and how can we do that until pages or a page IS se- lected.
 A vote being taken on the question | to adjourn and division being asked the vote resulted, yeas 57. nays 65. And the Convention refused to adjourn. Mir. Blackweli--I now move that the Convention proceed with the business of selecting seats.
 you send out and get a deck of cards and let the Chaplain deal out the cards and the high spade get the choice. Mir. Lowe Lawrence)-I Cont under stand how we can possibly rro,sed, now. Delegate-The President can ap- point a boy to act as page. MT. Burnett-I rise to point or or der. There is other business before the Convention. The motion or the gen tleman from Montgomery to appoint a Committee of nine was carried. me President has not appointed that com mittee. Then there was the motion to appoint two members from each Con- gressional District on the Committee on Rules. That is the next business in order.
 The President-The Chair is not ready | to announce those committees, and the point Is we'll taken. Mir. Cunningham-The question o1 seating is very important. The names have to be written and put into a hat and there are many delegates absent, not knowing that this important busi- ness was to come up. therefore move that the selection of the seats be made a special order immediately after the reading of the Journal tomorrow morn | ing and in the meantime the Secretary | can prepare the names and the Door- keeper number the seats. The President-The gentleman rom Jefferson moves as a substitute that | this be made a special order-the dis | tribution of seats-immediately after the reading of the Journal tomorrow morning. Governor Oates-It Is unnecessary to 20 to the trouble of numbering the seats. When the name of a delegate | Is drawn, 1t can be pasted on the seat. Mir. Cunningham-I withdraw that part of the motion then. Governor Oates--I am in favor of the
 motion, but I merely want to say that
 much because the gentleman did not seem to exactly understand the method. The seats will be vacated and when a gentleman's name Is called he will be allowed to go and select any seat not occupied and his name will be put on it. A vote being taken, the motion was carried.
 On motion of Mir. Proctor the Con- vention then adjourned until tomorrow morning at Il o'clock.
