Miller's Amault ,
Ex-Senator Miller ut Now York spoke fortbo minority and as his first oolnt said thatbo had listened to many reports of the com-mittee
¬
on credentials but this was the llrst-tlmo ho had over heard a majority reportwhich gave no reason why it should boadopted except that It was the ma-jority
¬
report. H bad boon saidthat the majority report was ) I to 30. Thatwas not BO , it was !2l to 28. Was ono majorityto outweigh everything olsot Tbo minoritybad given reasons and not ono speaker hodgiven any facts to coutiovort tt. The nationalcommittee , composed of the men who badled the party to victory last yearbad , after several days' dcllocratlon ,given the four sitting members theirseats by8 to 21 , and it should bo sustained ,
unless tbo facts woio brought to impeach tbofuels of tha minority report , which 'had notl ccn done. Miller then closed by moving as-Q parliamentary motion that the Cogswellreport bo divided , and tbu present vote be-
taken on tbo Alabama part alono. At thispoint Clarkson and Plutt bold a moldinterchange at Plait's scat. No onowho aw ll doubted that preparations worein bund for the now evidently close comluj-of the first real test vote between thu Ulalno-nnd Harrison forces.
Chairman Cogswell said that , representingthe majority or the committee , ho "had statedto tlio convention at the beginning that no-tlrnobad been bad to prepare the report. Theconvention bud thouuhl best neverthelessto call for an oral report "nnd now tbo gen-tlemen
-nro assailing tbo majority because it-
imd.nol submitted I. formal argument lu-
luvor of its leiiort. " Ho concluded by mov-ing
¬
the previous iiuestlon. nnd Immediatelythe (Jonmml for the previous question wasseconded by n majoilty of the delegation of-Mu&sai'husots , Dclawaio nnd West Virginia.-
