corps of reporters The Committee Of Ar
rangementS, Of which AIN not member
but which 1 have been requested to repre-.
sent on this floor. deemed it proper that these
gentlemen should be admitted as reporters
and have seats in the galleries as such. The
Co mmittee did not think it ought to take the
re responsibility of Saying to those gentleman
who professed to be reporters Of the press, that
they could not have seats when there was
place for them. But they understood very
well that it was the right of the Convention
when organized to appropriate the galleries
to its own use. II is idle to suppose that the
Convention has no such right. But it is the
misfortune of this Convention that there is no
hall in the city Of Cincinnati suitable for its
accommodations.
With these views have suggested to the
honorable member from Mississippi, and>
the Convention, that this resolasicG q
modified as to appropriate the Gnls7
right to the presa1az1 - gollsl =!

the resolution of the gentleman ftou $50
sipp. This would enable the members o
the press to have seats, and, Also enable the
delegates and alternates and representatives
sent here from the District Of Columbia 10
be accommodated likewise. am very sure
the press will be willing to divide the gale
rics with the Convention.
The vote was then taken by States. on the
motion to lay Mr.. Browns resolution on the

Mr.. Meade, of Virginia, asked that the
President issue ticket of admission to ID.

whose ticket had been lost in some way or
other. Granted.
Judge Mason, of Maryland, offered a reso-
luton that the galleries he cleared, and that
each delegate be allowed to issue three tick
cts of admission 10 the Convention, to be is
sued by the Committee of Arrangements
He afterwards modified this resolution 50 "a
to give each delegate one ticket.
The resolution gave rise TO warm debate.
Mr.. Meade of Virginia opposed the resolu.
ton that il would overwhelm the conven-
ton with a great body of outsiders that the
crowd was great enough, that it would be
a very ungracious thing to clear the galleries
which were filled with citizens of Cincinnati
whose hospitalities they were enjoying. He
was in favor Of excluding the ladies, as he
did not think that they should be the spec
tatOrs where men contended for power I; but
he could not think of scqniescing in the prop
osition to drive out of the galleries the citi-
zens Of Cincinnati who filed them.
Mr. Hubbard, Of Texas, was against the
resolution, but was for throwing wide the
gallery to the public, but for guarding zeal
ously the privilege of seats on the floor. A
rambling and discursive discussion here en-
-naI tvhioh from, tha
is impossible to report
Finally, 4 motion was made to lay Judge
Mason's resolution on the table, and call fol
a vote by States being made, the vote resul-
ted in 1876 ayes, l26 nays.
Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, moved that the
whole subject of admission into the Conven,
tion be referred to the Committe on Organi-
zation.
Mr.. Singleton, of Mississippi, moved res.
olution that the galleries be opened to the
public.
lie enforced this resolution by showing
that Mississippi had sent number of d
cgates moro than was permitted To-.
seats in the body, but where aid and g
sci would be great assistance TO the bod
and would be very essential to the success
of the party in the election.
! Mr. Wilson, Of Iowa, insisted on his reso
luton. The valuable time of the Conven
ton ought not to be taken up with resolu
I tons and discussions Of this nature. Let th
above subject 60 to the committee.
! a delegate from Connecticut said that
the number of persons in the galleries shoul'
be increased, their delegation would be com
PEELED 10 withdraw, as it would bs impossi
bic for them to remain in their places with
OFT danger and discomfort.
a motion was made to lay both resolution
on the table, which, being put, the Chair de
clarcd il was carried.
Some one called out Ohio demands

and as it contributed to the general comfol
