committee on credentials met at and resumed consideration of the cook county contest kark cawes presented a written statement ot the position of the farwell cfall delegation relative to the pledge required by the convention to abide by its decision as follow st the delegates from county cook from the regular convention held at farwell hall while denying for themselves and their constituents any lawful power in convention or in committee to impose on any contestant any conditions whatever precedent to rendering justice according to law and equity as well do hereby submit under protest to the resolution as we understand it for an unorganized convention in which ne n e were not permitted to take part as the only means left to prevent threatened of the republicans of cook county nd the probable ios of the state to the republican candidates tei it h but fair for me to add as it might perhaps be questioned as to the words resolution as yra understand der stand it i to what w refer at a meeting held in chicago prior to coming here it wa voted unanimous ly without one dissenting voice that inasmuch u we were the regularly elected delegates in conr judgment we would stand together er fall to aether ninety two of us to go into the convention or remain outside I dont state this to the committee as a threat but simply M an explanation of our petition we imply pad it upon the ground of liht without any to any impression it may mike upon your any direction that resolution in another form has been bawd twice since this time or resolution which has embodied tho one at chicago by appearing here as we do and acceding to the term imposed upon u we wish it distinctly understood that if you shall be pleased to seat portion of chii delegation and shall regard a portion of it as left entirely to our option whether that portion will go into the convention or stay may rescind that revolution reeo lution and we may not we expect however that we shall stand together as we understand it now and of course if you reject us all then there is any difficulty all you can ask under this resolution is this we do not intend to create any disturbance as lias been calan later here but simply intend to act like men and members of the republican party and do what our constituents require us to do the committee then excluded all outsiders reporters included to consider the sufficiency of their response that the committee would be unable to report before one and the convention took a recess until pm |
