Mr.. Ray. the Chairman. requested the
committee to meet at esce in the Agrieul
tural room in the State House.
Mr.. Grsgory, of Tippecanoe. moved for a
COMMITTEES Of one from each District to Sc
lect delegates to the Chicago Convention
for the State at large. Laid on the table.
Mr.. Harrison. Of Morgan, offered the fol.
lowing resolution:
Resolued, That committee consisting of
one delegate from each Congressional Dis
trict, be appointed to select and report to
this Convention suitable persons to act as
State Republican Central Com mnittee;
That of the persons to be selected, five
shall reside in Marion county, one Of whom
shall be Chairman, and one in each Con
gressional District; and
That any five members Of said Central
Committee, when so selected and choseA by
this Convention, shall constitute quorum
for the transaction of all ordinary business,
but it shall be the duty Of such quorum TO
confsrm their action to the rules and direc-
tions which may be prescribed by the Com
mIttee when In fuli session.
Mr. Gross Of Henry opposed the resolu-
tion. He thought each Distr let should Sc
lect its own committeeman, and he didn't
think one District should have any more
members OF it thaa aneth~ He moved TO
lay the resolution on the table.
Mr. Hudson begged Mr.. Grose 10 with
draw his motion 10 give an opportunity to
discuss the matter. Mr.. Grose consented IL
Mr.. II. would renew il, which was prom
ised, and Mr.. H. proceeded to argue briefly
for the resolution. He said the feature Of
it that Mr.. Grose objected to was the very
one that made him support it. In the last
contest we bad experienced the necessity
Of comnitiee that could meet and act
promptly as emergencies required it. We
now we're entering an excited campaign,
in which there would be constant demands
on the attention and effort OF the commit
tee, and it was very important that quo
rum should live in the city of Indianapolis
or so near il that they could be easily got
together a, any moment. he then, as he
had agreed, renewed the motion to lay the
resolution on the table, but hoped the Con :
vention would not consent.
Mr.. Steele, Of Parke, asked Mr.. Hudson
| to withdraw the motion TO give him an oP-
poriunity to urge an argument for the res.
/ olution. lie said he was on the present
Central Committee. and knew the great
disadvantage Of relying on the action Of
men scattered over the whole STATE. He
had enough experieJce ia such things To
/ be anxious to avert such trouble now.
Mr.. Grose said there are other men in the
meeting who had As much experience as
Gen. Steele, who could not concur with
him. He thought the chairman OF the Com
mittee should live in indianapolis. but with
such facilities as railroads afforded. it was
easy for those living within fifty miles OF
Indianapolis to get together in an hour OF
two. L..e haas.
! Several amendments aud remarks were
made at this point, bnt they were not heard
generally, or entertained by the chair.
Mr. Oyler of Johnson, said that every
county in the Sixth District, but Marion
was cut out Of representative on the Com
mittee by this resolution, hui they wer'
satisfied TO have it so, for it was the only J
mode Of making ar efficient committee.
The question was then put on the reso
luton, and it was adopted by large ma
iority.
Mr. Meredith, of Wayne. came forward
on the stage aud announced that he hat

outside Of the house than it, and they wer

At the State House yard an immen'
