The rom being very much crowded, one of
the members of the Union League said that the
room was rendered to the members of the dele
cations. and as there were many present who
we're not delegates, requested that they would
retire.
Senator sprague moved that a committee of
one irom each State and Territory be appointed
TO select officers for permanent organization.
Governor Curtin hesitated some time here,
and MI. Kelley said that, perceiving the deli
cacy OF the Governor, move that General Burn.
side be appointed Chairman for twenty seconds
to propose that question.
General Burnside then put the question,
which was carried unanimously.
1t was moved that General Burnside be ap-
pointed Chairman of that Committee. Carried.
Some one suggested that there be a Secretary
appointed from the Pacific coast.
MIR. Kelley would announce that there is
delegation here from the Pacific Coast; it is
you the name of one-the Hon. Daniel
Macroore, OF California. I would suggest
motion be submitted at the pro-
per time, that the Union League have
called delegation this evening of the National
Union of Soldiers and Sailors, whose head
quarters are at WASHINGTON, that they each be
permitted to name Vice-President OF this
meeting, and report them TO the President, who
shall announce them.
One of the gentlemen moved that committee
on address and resolutions be selected, one
from each State and territory.
Mr.. Kelley-I would move that after the ap-
pointment of this committee, this Convention
take a recess to such time as shall be agreed
upon, so that the delegations can confer
together, and name their representative as
member OF the Committee on Resolutions
Mr. President would like to inquire If ii is
not eXpectedsthat there will be some connection
between this Convention and the one organized
| in this city, ana ii not. would it not be proper
| that the resolutions should be adopted by both
! ConVentions9
Permit me- before that resolution is submitted
| to the meeting, to suggest that that would be,
| perhaps, better q subject Of future considera
| tion, ana specially after our committee organize
| leaving time for the Committee to confer if
| they choose, with the other Convention. or with
| the Committee on Resolutions and Address, from
| that Convention.
| 1t was moved. seconded, and carried that a
| Committee on Credentials be appointed The
| meeting then adjourned for this purpose, to
| meet again in half an hour.
