There was long debate on this, occupying
nearly all the forenoon.
The Committee on Resolutions reported a con-
sentative platform, and the ten minutes rule was
/ adopted. This was victory for the conservatives
The Black Republicans are in small minority.
The platform, which requests that the National
Council will expnnd the twelfth section, denounces
