Mr.. Sales, Of Rhode Island. hoped the reso-
lotion would Jay over for a day.
Mr. Ierry, q Arkansas, rose to make an
amendment, when
A delegate from the lower end Of the hall
called attention to the fact that 50 much prl-
vate conversation was going On that It was
impossible FOR those IN bis vicinity 10 hear
anything that was said BY The chair or the
speakers.
The president requested that conversation
might cease and order be preserved.
Mr. L0wrie had only offered the resolution
for The sake OF bringing il before the oonvsn-
ten at The proper time. The resolution had
been modified in a manner 70 suli the views Of
various delegates. As first drawn, il only
contemplated 70 form a committee, who were
70 uame the next national committee and to
OK The time AMI place Of the next national con-
r~ention. As sou offered, the resolution left II
to the national COMMITTEES to fix the time and
place Of holding the national convention. II
was thought By this means that the difficulties
encountered By the members Of this eonven-
ton might be avoided, and the committee NIGH
be enabled to study the commences Offered, Be.
fore fixing The place or meeting. II this
was not acceptable 10 the convention, and th'
majority conceive they should adhere 10 tn
old rule, it would be individually a matter Of
indifference to bin. But in references 10 th,
amendment proposed bT the gentleman from
Alabama, be thoughtit might be attended By
disastrous -eonseque3ces. No other Demo
cratic national convention. under the opera
ton Of such a rule, might ever assemble, fn
there might be a contest In an but three OF foul
States. They might End delegates coming e
the national convention sitting inactive, ant
with no quorum present Cor the purpose Ol
transacting business.
he hoped there wasno intention to cast an,
reflections upon the action Of the present ma
ti0nai committee. He believed their action
had been dictated hV wisdom and prudence
and that the rights Of every member had beer
fully, fairly and impartially determined. HI
believed that the committee should have tn
power OF issuing tickets, for bV no other mean
could the rights q delegates Be protected. III
moved to lay the amendment on the table.
The President. The chair viii put the qges
tion, bat The gentleman, IN his motion is adop.
ted, VIII destroy bis own resolution.
Mr.. Lowrie. Then I move the prsviouI
question.
Mr.. Dawson, OF Pennsylvania, asked thr
gentleman to withdraw tie call for the prsvi
Gus question, which he had made at tie clos.
Of his fifteen minute speech.
Mr.. Lowris. ] eheerfully withdraw thu
call.
Mr.. Dawson inquired IL an amendment wal

The President It is not; two amendment
being already pending.
Mr.. Dawson. Then I viii yield the foor

Mr.. Barnett 81 d. since he had a.tende,
Ratlenal conventions every time, New
York had come Up with contested seats
What vas the effect Of admitting one party o,
thosa contestants on tn floor? The delegate,
from New York and Illinois had been enabled
20 vote on the most important questions that
had come before the convention. This was ar
undue advantage t. one side. He knew there
were offer and wiser heads here 10 diseusi
this issue, and he didnot approve Of any Statr
delegation coming and taking their seats il
the convention, unless they can agree and har.
monize az home, until the convention itsell
had decided upon their right to a seat in IN,
convention. He bad no personal feeling OF
interest in the matter. Alabama had never
come here with a double delegation. SUE
always had and always would cast her vote al
a unit. What was the state Of affairs in New
York? In 1856 he was a delegate to the Gin.
~cinna-i convention, and there be saw two dele.
cations from New York contssting seats OF

gates from Missouri. One set had besn sd.
mitted TO the floor BY the national committee
and the other set had come rushing into thu
ball, knocking down those who bad baer
placed In charge OF The doors. He was Cd.
posed to any such proceedings, and desired
the convention to take into is OWE hands The
power 10 determine who are the true delegates
representing The different States and entitled
to seats on the floor.
Mr.. Pugh, Of Ohio, thought the resolution
was premature and that the proper way was
70 leave the settlement % the power with
which the committee should be clothed to ths
elaboration Of a COMMITTEES. The COMMITTEES
on organization is discharged, or be should
move to refer It 10 that committee. He should
now move to refer the resolution to a commit
tee OF thirty-taree, composed Of one from each
S ate. Upon that be called the previous ques-
ton.
The can Cor the previous question was sec
onded and ordered, and the resolution, as
amended BY Mr.. Pugh, was adopted.
Mr.. Cessna asked that the various delega-
lions should have until tomorrow to reportths
name Of The members Of the committee Just
ordered 70 be appointed.
The President. The chair win so under
stand toe arrangement.
Judge Krnm, OF Missouri, chairman Of The
COMMITTEES on credentials, then presented The
following report and resolutions, upon which
the committee bad agreed, and he claimed for
II the ATTENTION Of the convention.
