the resolution WIS laid on the table by /
vote of 81 TO "A
Mr.. Clayton, Representative John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi and Gov. Hoke
Smith of Georgia, all spoke in favor Of
the passage of the resolution. Mr.. Smith
was especially emphatic in saying that
the 10000 which had been offered to
secure the republican convention and
refused by the republican national com
mittee had been offered to and was about
to be accepted b. the democratic commit
tee. He said the republicans had turned
down the offer because Il was regarded
as in the nature of bribe and that
democrats. in view Of that circumstance,
could not afford to accept it. Mr.. VII
llams spoke In a similar vein as also did
Mr.. Clayton. Mr. Taggart advocated the
acceptance OF the $4,000 saying 1t would
