The call of the Convention having been
read by Secretary Perrin, senator Dooit-
tie, of Wisconsin, offered the following res
olutions, which were adopted:
ResolUed, That, until otherwise ordered,
the general rules of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States, so far as
applicable, govern the proceedings of this
Convention; and, until otherwise ordered,
In case any question shall arise to be deter
mined by division or by the yeas and nays,
the Secretary shall call the roll of all the
States and Territories of the United States
and the District of Columbia. Each State,
as called, shall be entitled to cast double
the number of votes to which it is entitled
in the electoral college, as the delegation
shall determine, and each Territory, and
also the District of Columbia, shall be ell
titled to cast two votes, as the several dele
cations shall direct. ....... .......

sitions not relating to the organization of

lating to the right or claim of any person

On motion of General j. B. Steedman, of
Ohio, committee of thirteen was appoint
ed by the chair as a committee on Gre
dentials. -.,
On motion of Mr.. Montgomery Blair, of
Marylan I, a committee of one from each
State and Territory was appointed by the
Chair to report officers for the permanent
organization of the Convention.
Mr.. Thomas B. Florence of the District
of Columbia, suggested that inasmuch as
there was great misapprehension as to the
character of the delegations, the Secretary
be directed to read the circular issued over
the signatures OF Postmaster General Ran
dali, Lewis p. Campell, of Ohio, and Mont
gomery Blair, of Maryland, inviting the CO.
operation of Democrats, as such, in the
Convention. II there was any significance
In reading the original call, he thought it
quite as important, in order to relieve any
nisapprehension as to the position which
gentlemen occupied here, that the supple
mentary call should also be read.
The Secretary, In compliance with the
request, proceeded to read, but had not got
through more than few sentences, when
Mr.. Florence discovered that the paper
which the Secretary was reading was the
call signed by the Democratic members of
Congress. He called attention to the fact,
but yielded, that the reading might be con-
cluded.
Mr.. Florence then read the circular to
which he had reference, after which, on
motion of Mr.. Blair, the Convention, at a
quarter past one, adjourned till tomorrow
at twelve o'clock. ,. t
