| RULED OUT OF ORDER.
When the minority report was read
the chair asked Chairman Morgan of
the committee II 1t was a suggestion
and he replied that 1t was an amend
ment.
The chair ruled 1t out of order. Then
began an uproar which continued for
thirty minutes. j. w Jones appealed
from the chair with considerable vtgor
and moved that vote be taken. This
was seconded by II. j. Johnston. A
yell of ayes was Immediately followed
by, apparently, as many noes. A call
of ayes and noes by roll followed.
There were a number of insurgents
among the delegates from the Fourth
while those of the Fifth were solidly in
favor of sustaining the chair. On mo-
ton of C. II. Cooke, the vote was made
unanimous
Col. Jones then moved that II be
passed to the Republican Central Com
mittee but to save time the voting on
this motion was deferred.
