ltlOn directlng the oommIttee on Resoln-

luton directing the committee on ResOlu-
lions TO report In print, and to supply each
member OF the Convention with q copy OF
the resolutions at the time of their presen-
tation. He proceeded to discuss the reso-
luton. 4btI'
Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden, OF New York,
raised the point of order that under the
rule adopted, the resolution must be re-
terred without debate.
The Chair sustained the point of order,
and declared that the resolution was so
referred.
Mr.. Hayes, Notwithstanding, continued
to address the Convention. He did not ex-
pecJ the Convention to adopt any resolu-
tiOn or platform indorsing his opinions or
the opinions of the Democratic party, to
which he belonged.
Mr.. Perry asked that nothing would he
put in the platform to which Constitu-
tion and Union-loving Democrat could not
subscribe. Some cheers and interruption. !
He knew the sentiments of the Democratic
party, and he believed IL ever there was a
patriotic party in the country it was it.
Here the Convention manifested its i'm
patience by cries of "Question, question" )"
and under another point of order the
Chairman decided that there was nothing
before the Convention for its action.]
Nevertheless Mr.. Hayes, having appealed
to the courtesy of the Convention to let him
explain himself, went on to say that he had
known of platforms having been adopted
In moments of enthusiasm which were af-
terwards subjected to severe criticism, and
all that he desired was that the r. solutions
and address which might be reported by
the committee should be first printed and
delivered to members, so that they might
be discussed by the several delegations be-
fore they were called upon to act on them
in Convention. ... ".H
The question of order was again repeat
ed and sustained by the Chair, that there
was nothing before the Conyention, and
Mr. HAYES accordingly subsided.
Mr.. Homer, of Missouri, proposed a re-
cess for an hour or two but the PROPOSE
tion met with no favor and was not passed.
Senator Cowan, OF Pa, Chairman of the
committee on Resolutions, informed the
Convention that the committee would not
be ready to report finally before to-mor-
row.
After several suggestions and PROPOSE
tions, it was decided that the session to-
morrow commence at ten A NJ, in order
to get through the business as soon as pos
sible.
Mr.. Bershing, of Pennsylvania, present.
ed a memorial presented by gentleman
in his Congressional District, which was,
on his motion, referred unread.
Mr.. Babcock, of Conn. also presented an
address to the people of New England, pre-
pared by the members of the Louisiana,
Mississippi and Missouri delegations who
were born in New England, which was al
so referred, unread, to the committee on
Resolutions; and then, ....
On motion of Mr.. Orr, of South Carolina,
at quarter past two o'clock, the Conven-
ton adjourned.
