He read his speech from manuscript.)

Parsons of Tafladega, Allen Alexander, wm. Paige. A. H. cu.- tis. H. H. Wise and John Brown as Vic. : Presidents: J. J. Moulton. W. H. Coun- | cil, Isaac Hcvman Secretaries.
 Hunter of Lowndes, demanded votc by ayes and nays on adopting the report. Clarke, in the chair, delivered q lecture on the waste of time" Hunter declared he wanted no lecture, but demanded a vote.
 ] Green. (colored). of Hale, moved to ta- ble tho report.
 Bustced demanded the ayes and nays.
 Green (colored), of Hale. arose to some point in which was involved the charge of the non-residence of Busteed.
 Busteed in reply said that no one had l a right to asperse the motives of mcin- bers, and that when 1t came from black man 1t was more discreGt to the asperscr than to him.
 Green. responded that Busteed tried last winter to block Alabama legisia- ton and to incarcerate him in the pen itentiary.
 In spite of the calls for ayes and nays l kha tat hA n i- mittee adopted.
 Mr. Parsons took the chair and MT. Busteed moved the appointment Of a l committee of thirteen on platform. Henry of Dallas, asked him to with- draw in order that he might make motion to have prayer, and Judge Bus I tced withdrew for the purpose.
 Bryant led in prayer and Busters motion was then adopted.
 Spencer said as the convention was now organized he offered this resolution;
 Resolved, That T. Nj. Peters, B. F Saffold and A. c. Fielder be nominated for justices of the Supreme Court.
 Judge Busteed said he believed the names in the resolution were the viewI of the convention, but he protested against nominations in thatway. He ask ed that the roll be taken by call oi the counties, as it was bad precedent.
 Mir. White of Dallas opposed calling the roll.
 Busteed said, if 1t would be agreed tha, this would not be a precedent in otheI nominations, he would withdraw his mo tion.
 White, in reply. said he would not speal for the convention.
 Jere Haralson moved to amend the res olution by striking out the name of A iC. Fielder and inserting Alexander Me Kinstry, but afterwards withdrew 1t.
 Nominations for candidates for Cover nor were then declared in order. Mir, Hayes nominated D. P. Lewis.
 MT. Busteed nominated Alexander Me Kinstry.
 An effort was made to prevent a bal lot by nominating Lewis by exclamation
 Meyer of Mobile representing Frank lin, stated that he was instructed by Judge McKinstry to withdraw his name
 Busteed said he insisted on the nonina' tion, as the people instructed him tC stand by 1t, and he paid glowing trib ute to his candidate.
 Jim Greene of Hale took the floor and made some hits at Busteed. He finally subsided and a vote was started.
 The chair read a note from McKinstrS saying that he was not candidate fol Governor.
 ] Busteed demanded to see the note; h' knew McKinstry's handwriting. Aftel looking at it he said he couldn't tell whC wrote 1t. He then made a point of ordel that the calling of the roll, after it com menced, could not be suspended for any motion. The chair ruled otherwise.
 Clarke took the floor, when Jere liar
 alson raised the point that debate al
 that time was out of order. The chail
 held the point not well taken and Clarke held the floor.
 Calls from all parts of the house oi
 "call the roll" were heard Efforts wer, made to get vote, and McKinstry'i
 name was withdrawn.
 Morgan of Wilcox arose and declared . that Mayer, who withdrew McKinstry'.
 name was not a delegate on the fiool
 and had no right there.
 Mayer replied that he was a deIeRat, from Wilcox and held a proxy iron
 Franklin county.
 Morgan said that the delegate from Wilcox, whom Mayer pretended to repre- 5 sent, was on the floor and had withdrawn ] his proxy from Mayer. During all this melee Spencer was run
 ming around everywhere, but Clarke O. . Perry, representing Bibb and Washing ton, kept the floor.
 Just then arose cries for McKinstry . "caIl the roll,'' etc.
 7 McKinstry came in and said he did mol . desire the nomination. The chair then said the question before the convention was the nomination of D P. Lewis.
 Busteed placed in nomination the name of Joseph Bradley of Madison. Armstrong of Lowndes nominated Paul
