PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, .I As it is irenerally known that the Pluttsmouth delegation took do part in tbe ConTention held at Weeping Water Falla on the 29th of September ; and that numerous other delegates withdrew from said convention and refused to take part therein, and as the reasons for so doing are not generally known and fully under stood by the Republicans of the county, we therefore deem it but jnst to thoe men ' who withdrew, as" well as to the party that the acf La the cse be given to the public We ; shall therefore en deavor to give a brief and eoneise state ment af the facts, in order tliat the He publican voters may determine whether ornot those Republicans ho refused to act with the convention are justifiable, and whether or not - those who did act are justifiable in what they done. At the meeting of the Republican County Convention it was decided, after being fully discussed, that each commit teeman should call the primary meetings in his precinct at such time ' as" he thought be.-t ; but in order that those precincts which were unrepresented at the Committee 'meeting might have something upon which to base their ac tion, the committee cdj2terniined to rec ommend tho coluing 01 meetings on Monday the 27th of September. Mr. Inhelder.'the' member frora! Louisville, went home from the committee meeting and called a meeting for his precinct for Tuesday the tvccnty-Jirtt day of Septem ber; Mr. Barken the committeeman from Liberty precinct, called a meeting in his precinct for Saturday the 25th of September, ' and Mr. 'Richardson,- of Eight Mile Grove, called the Republican voters of his precinct together on Mon day niyh.t, the 27th. No Republican dreamed of questioning either the right or the propriety of these things.' The editor of the Herald, as the member of the committee from Plattsinouth pre cinct, and as Chairman of the County committee, issued the following call : KEl'IBLICA.V PKECI.(T Jf EtTIWCJ. The Republicans'of Plattsmonth 'Pre cinct are requested to assemble at the Uourt -House in I'lattsraouth, at 2o clock tk in. on SATURDAY", SEPTEMBER L'Jith, for the purpose ot selecting eleven delecates td represent Plattsmouth Pre cinct in the Republican County Conven tion to be held at eepmg' H ater rails ou the 29 th inst. " IT. IX Hatha wat, Ch'n Com. This call was placed, at the head of the local columns of the Daily" Herald on Monday morning, Sept. '20th, and re mained there untij the day of the meet ing, and was also at the head of the lo cal columns of the weekly edition of Thursday the 23d. We are thus explic-. in order to show that abundant notice was given of tha meeting. Voters w'ere also urged through the editorial columns to turn out to the meeting. The meet ing was held in accordance with the above notice, and we defy any tuan who has the loast regard for truth to say it wad not conducted properly iu every par ticular, and that those attending it did not cxprcas their wiahesas to who should represent them in convention. There ware sixty-three Republicans voted by ballot in that meeting," and we have not heard of one of the bixty-threc who is in any manner displeased with the ac tion of that meeting. At that meeting eleven as Msbntantial Republicans as ever went to a County Convention were chos- v ar a f 1 j en. ua ruonuay atternoon we ncam that a few men had assembled in the of fice of the Platte Valley House and elec ted another set of delegates. As we have before stated, this meeting was not considered by some of the participants as anything more than a good joke, but subsequent . devclopcments proved that others intended to make . it rather a eerious joke. The Secretary of the meeting is a democrat, and assures us he never claimed to be anything else, arid that he supposed the meeting was only intended for a little fun. He assures us he did not believe there were more than twenty men voted, notwithstanding there were sixty-six haltAs in the hat when they were counted out (all of said ballots be ing in the handwriting of W. W. Erwin). There arc an hundred different facts, of apparent minor importance, which would convince any man that this meeting was nothing more than a burlesque, - yet eleven men went to Weeping Water and claimed to have been elected by the Re publicans of Plattsmouth precinct at that meeting. The only notice given of any meeting on the 27th was the recommen dation of the County Committee for the precincts unrepresented at the Commit tee meeting, and we do not believe any man outside of the half dozen who in augurated it knew of any such meeting until it was declared opened, and then no Republicans were told that such meeting was intended. The delegation declared elected ly the men who managed this meeting went to Weeping Water and declared to all par ties they met that they were the regu larly elected delagates, but never for a moment pretended that their rights to scats was based tpon any other grounds than that they were elected on thie. cLiy recommended by the Central Committee to hold meeting.' Now for a Tew facts relative to the manner in which the convention was con ducted, and the reasons why delegates refused to act in it; and in making this statement we desire it undersrood that we would prefer hiding such action.sirom the world were it not that justice to those interested demands that Republi cans t-hould know it . The delegation from this precinct went out filled with, a eonscrousneis that they were the repre sentatives of the Republicans of the Sreclnet, and a, fair statement of tho icta was all that would be required to admit them to seats; .but it was ijlevel-! pped at cn early hour that there wa? aa ' THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1SG9. understanding between certain parties, and that an attempt was to be made to "run the .Convention" and "gag" all hottest action. A few minutes before the haur appointed for holding the Con- j vention Mr. Jenks, of Weeping Water, ealled the house to order, and nominated Mr. Clapp, of Stove Creek, for Chairi man. This was while a considerable numlr of delegates were' atill outride, coming from the stores to the building, and before the Chairman of the Central Committee had entered the room. ; Mr.. Maxwell asked Mr. Jcnks if he was not a "little fast, and if it was not usual for the Chairman of the Central Committee to call the County Convention to order when he was prasent. The delegation elected here on Monday (which we shall style . the bogus delegation) being all present, called for the question, and Mr. Clapp was declared elected. The object of securing Mr. Clapp as Chairman soon transpired, and .devclopcments showed the men who selected him had not miss ed their man, After a Secretary was chosen, and before any motion was made, the Chairman picked up a piece of paper and said he believed it was now "in or der for the Chairman to appoint a Com mittee otl Credentials." Some of the men who had . elected him saw he had learned his lesson too well, and immcdi ately movnl that a Committee on Crc dentials be appointed. Mr. Maxwell moved to amend the motion by inserting the names of S. M. Kirkpatriek, Stephen Hobson, W. L. Hobbs, Amos Teft and J. E. Beatty as ' members of that committee. The Chairman immediately declared the motion to amend out of order, and posi tively rryiteJto entertain it. Mr. Max well and Mr. Kirkpatriek both endeav ored to convince him that the motion was a proper one, but he protested that he "knew what Parliamentary law was, and that the motion to amend was not in order, but was calculated to take away the rights of the Chairman." Mr Max well then said he "appealed from the decision of the Chair." The Chairman called him to order, said he had no right to appeal and l'if the gentleman in sisted on disturbing the meeting he. would have him removed from the room." During this time the bogus delegation and their friends alternately cheered, talked and hissed, and everything indi cated a determination to have the Chair man appoint that committee at all haz ards. Af'er several ineffectual attempts by both Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Kirkpatriek to get the Chairman to listen to reason and adhere to usage, he put the motion to appoint the committee and declared it carried. He immediately read off the name of five men from the aforesaid paper which he had at the commence ment, and which said nanics were writ ten out before he wa9 elected chairman. Of crjurse this committee reported in favor of admitting the bogus delegation from ritttsmouth, without asking a word of explanation or statement of facts from either party, and none had been made before the Convention. After this report was before the Convention (after all delegates except those from Phtts- mouth had been declared entitled to ats) tbeoe facts in' regard to the two pri mary meetings, substantially as given above, only more complete, were placed before the Convention. After an at tempt to crowd the report of the com mittee on the Convention had failed, a ballot was ordered, and the chairman stated the question as follows : "Those in favor of admitting the delegation re ported in favor of by the committee on credentials will vote 'ycV aud those op posed to their admission will vote 'no.' " The ballot was taken, and the bogus dele gation was declared rejected by a majority of three or four votes, only the delegates already declared entitled to seats voting. The bogus delegates then clamored for a rejection of the others, and it appeared for a time that the meeting would be broken up in a "row." During this ex citement, becoming disgusted with the proceedings, several of the delegates left the room, and we know of at least two who left for home. At this juncture the question of admitting the other delega tion was put to a ballot, and they were declared rejected by one rofe. This, of course, left both delegatioas out, and the country people to select a ticket. Mr. Kirkpatriek moved the Convention adjourn, and the chairman declared the motion out of order and refused to entertain it. At this . juncture Mr. J. H. Brown, of this city, one of the bogus delegates, who had already been rejected from the convention, and who had no iiore rights there than any other person who was not a delegate, moved that a half of each delegation be admitted, and wme one seconded the motion. The Chairman put the question, and it was votal.vpon, by the crowd, including at least a portion, if not all, of the members of the bogus delegation. The Chairman declared half of each delegation entitled to seats, notwithstanding Mr. Hobson, of Mt Pleasant, called his attention to the fact that the motion was made by an outsider, and Mr. Brown, of Salt Creek, called his attention to the fact that it was voted upon by the crowd instead of by the delegates alone. Mr. Wheeler, of the bogus delegation, immediately moved, during the , disturbance incident to such an unheard-of proceeding as the admission of a delegation by . a vote of a crowd of outsiders, that Mr. Clapp act as permaucnt chairman, and the motion was seconded. Mr. Wheeler immediately put the motion,declarcd it carried, at the same time remarking it "was not usual for a man to put his own motion,but that it was no time to be particular." This all transpired without ' giving time to cho-5?e who should ca.st thox? five and a half votes of each delegation, admitting that it was proper for them to be eat. The Plattsmouth delegation immediately withdrew for consultation.' After delib crating for some time, they eoncludtsd the proceedings were o unusual and so one-sided : so anti-Republican in their nature believing, aye, A-nottn"n that they were entitled to seats in fall which they were asked to occupy in part, and as a coin premise with wrong; and be lieving ' further that ah arrangement had been entered into which would stifle tlie voice of reason taking all in all, the nature of the opposition, the fast that they were justly elected, wrongfully de prived of seats and another set of dele gates, and in such an unusual man ner wrongfully admitted to seats taking all these things into consideration, they decided to stay out and take no part in the Convention. Several of the best Republicans of the. county left the Con vention at the ame time, among them Hon. S. M. Kirkpatriek, Hon. Jos. Mc Kinnon, Mr. Brown of Salt Creek, Messrs. Hauey, Carnes, Hoover and In helder, of Louisville, Mr. Hobson of Mt. Pleaant ; and we believe Mr." Berger and Mr. Fox, of Rock Bluffs, and Mr. Hughes, of , Mt. Pleasant, took "no part in the Convention after this- time at least we know some of them did not. Messrs. McKin non, Brown, and the Louisville delega tion went back after this, but under pro test bitterly denouncing the proceedings and sympathising with the Plattsmouth delegation and the Republican party of the county. Whether the Plattsmouth delegation done right, and whether the convention done right, we leave to the judgment of intelligent and true Repub licans. Let them form their judgment after a careful consideration of the facts, and with them we rest the case for the present. ' ; There are many other things of great significance in regard to this mat ter, which will be given to the public hereafter." '' . . TO the penuc. The very severe attack in yesterday's Herald' on "D. L. Clapp, ' Esq., Presi dent of the Republican Convention, de mands a plain statement of the facts, which are as follows : . , The Convention was called to order by W. C Jenks, Esq.j who moved that D. Ii Clapp be called to the chair, which motion was carried without a dissenting voice, except Mr. Maxwell, who sug gested that Mr. Hathaway was the proper person to call the Convention to order. Mr. Clapp took the chair. A Secretary being appointed, Mn Maxwell rose to speak or make a motion, when some gentleman rose and stated that there was two delegations from Platts mouth, each claiming the seats, and that it was improper for either set to partici pate until it was decided who were the rightful delegates. The chair sustained that view of the case, stating . that, in his opinion, that those delegates whose seats were unquestioned should tempo rarily organize the Convention and ap point a Committee on Credentials, to whom the whole matter should be re ferred. Mr. Maxwell refused to yield the floor, insisted upon making a statement, and charged the chairman with unfairness, Ac, fcc. The chair repeatedly called Mr. M. to order. Finally Mr. Clapp appealed to know whether the Conven tion would sustain the chair. Being an swered in the affirmative, he informed Mr. Maxwell that unless he took his scat he should have him removed from the room. Upon this Mr. M. took his seat, and the Convention proceeded with its business. In accordance with a vote of the Convention, the following gentle men were appointed a Committee on Credentials: Jcnks and Rector, of Weeping Water ; Simpson and Fowler, of Stove Creek, and Hon. Jos. McKin non, of Elmwood. These gentlemen are among the best known citizens and Re publicans of this county. The commit tee, after a full examination of the case, reported that, in accordance with prece dents set by former conventions in fcimi kr cases, those delegates elected on tlve day designated by the Central Committee were entitled to their seats. Mr. . Max well and Mr. Hathaway addressed the Convention, and were treated by the chairman with great courtesy. Finally Hon. L. Sheldon moved that each dele gation be allowed to cast one-half of the Plattsmouth vote, which was Carried The voting was by ballot, and I have yet to hear of any dissatisfaction. Such, fellow-citizens, is a truthful statement oT the facts upon which a pri vate citizen's character is assailed. Could Mr. Clapp have done otherwise ? Surely there was nothing in' the personal ap pearance of Maxwell, and Hathaway stamping them as beings of a superior order.- The Herald claims that Mr. Maxwell is one of the "best parliamenta rians in the fetate. How does that agree with the fact that while Maxwell's scat was in dispute he tried to make a motion that S. M. Kirkpatriek and four others, some of whom were not members of the convention, (.hould be a committee to try his case ? Such a thing is un heard of a man selecting all of his judges. Perhaps, had Mr. Clapp tamely sub mitted to the dictation of Maxwell and Hathaway, he would have, been a r-ara- gon of courtesy, and might in time be entitled to admission into the HeraXd's order of "best parliamentarians." Mr. Clapp is not of that order of men. " He wm placed in the chair, and desired to do his duty, and done it fearlessly ; and it is for the free men of Cass county to l . 1 n ... . i tmy wnetner one oi tneir uamuer shaJI have his character assailed because he does not obey the dictation f the II R ai.d's proprietor. Eri Witness. Piattsinouth, October I st, 1 869. -, . IZrmarJe.1 hy tke Uerald. The above, NO. 27: signed "Eye-Witness" through modesty. is the production of J. E. Doom. W give the name "of the author that the document anar have its full effect We shall only reply to one or two points in this manifesto, from tha fact that al though the document purjorts to be for the correction of what Mr. Doom insinu ates are net fact, yet not a single state nient made in yesterday's Heuald is contradicted, if we may possibly except one. There is an e ident desire on the part of the auttmr to aover up with verbiage what he dare not attempt to meet by eitha fact or argutneat. A laborious effort is made to show that Mr. Maxwell done something' out of the way, by making a motion to have the Convention instead of the Chairman say who should consti tute the committee on credentials.' Mr. Maxwell saw, as did every man in the room, that there was a preconcerted ar rangement between tho chairman and the bogus delegation from this place to have a certain set of men appointed on that committee and what he done was to endeavor to have the convention say who . should constitute the committee, and he made thepolnt right there that he as well as all others claiming seats in the convention, had a right to a voice in the selection' of. that committee. It wouldsecm that a Chairman who was disposed to deal fairly would hardly ob ject to allowing the convention to choose such' committee, especially when the names of five as good men wore mention ed as those suggested by Mr. Maxwell. The Chairman never "gave it as his opinion that those delegates whose seats were unquestioned should temporarily organize" etc', until long after he had re fused to hear Mr. Maxwell, and then not until it was suggested to him by one of the bogus delegates. But it is useless to discuss this attempt of Mr. Doom's to create a false impression gentlemen who were present will remember the ' order (or disorder) in which these things trans pired.. Whatever Mr. Clapp s news were upon this subject, they only oper ated on one side, for acarly every motion made, which he entertained, was made by one of the bogus delegates. ' If they had a right to a voice in the meeting, Mr. Maxwell certaiuly had. :Mr Doom says the "eotiimittce.'aftor a full examin ation of the facts, reported," etc. Now, allow us to say the committee never con sidered a r ingle fact presented by the Plattsmouth delegation except the bare certificate of election signed by the President and Secretary of the pri mary meeting. Now we come to the point where Mr. Doom makes a statement which, to Fay the least, is cer tainly calculated to coter- up the truth. Wa refer to the seutenca where he says Hon. L. Sheldon moved that each dele gation be admitted to east one-half of the Plattsmouth vote, which was carried." Now mark what he says, yoa men who were present: The voting teas (jy bal lot" etc. YY hat voting was by ballot? Does not Mr. Doom intend to convey the id ?a docs he not say it that the voting on the admission of one-half of each del egation was by ballot? We simply as sert it was not by ballot and if was viva voce, and a part, if not all, the bogus delegates voted "Aye" upon tha ques tion. As to who made the motion, we have this to say: Mr. Sheldon did make either a motion or a suggestion of this kind, but it was long before the time wheu the question was put probably more than half an hour. After that time Mr. Rector made a similar motion, but both these motions were made after the bogus delegates had been laXUtted out of the convention, and before the ballot was had on the admission or rejec tion of the Plattsmouth delegates proper. The motion which was entertained by the Chair and upon which a vote was had, was made by J. II. Brown, of this city. Mr. Doom should have consulted his friends before he made that state ment public, for one of the bogus del egates is around claiming' that the mo tion was made by Mr. Rector, and that ".Mr. Rector was boating of it" We submit the statements to the eriticism of those gentlemen who were present If we made any misstatement in the article in yesterday's Hx?tALD it would bean asy matter ko show what it ia Mr. Doom aannot do that, consequently ha must make an ' effort to ' aover up the truth by a sort of slimy process pecaliar to him alone." As to his attempt at sar casm on the Herald and St propritor, we Khali make no eoni nient we care nothing 'for it It simply shows what hurts him. -! It matters not what aaurse we may pursue in relation to the ticket placed in nomination yesterday, one thing we do say, we never yet taw a presiding officer of any meeting pursue as unfair and un parliamentary a course as did Mr. Clapp, the Chairman of the mcctiag at Weep ing Water Falls yesterday. ,When a wan of as light a calibre as this Mr. Clapp attempts to override such gen tlemen as Hon. . S. M. Kirkpatriek i.nd Hon. Samuel Maxwell two of the test parliamentarians in the State and threatens to eject one of them from the room because he insists upon his right to appeal from a decision of the Chairman, it is high time he learned courtesy if he does lack judgement and political hon ety. We have always supposed there were certain rights which all gentlemen were entitled to, especially in civilized communities; but this man Clapp has seen fit to establish rules for the govern ment of public meetings which would cause Jefferson aad Cushiag to deny all knowledge of parliamentary law., We bkall pay our respects to him hereafter.

Finding the deed incorrect, Haws did not take it, bnt had another made out and scut back to be signed instead ; and, to save the trip, gave Bear the $1000 taking his receipt therefore to be sent by him as soon as the correct deed should arrive.
