Mr. BRADFORD, of Delaware-I think the resolu-
ton was that a committee should be appointed. one
from each State, to name them.
The PRESIDENT-The delegates from each State
select their own representatives.
Mr.. WRIGHT OF Deaware-I offered that resou
ton. 1t was to select one from each State to form
National Executive Committee.
The CHAIRMAN-Each State selects its own dele
gate.
The sECnETARY-And we are asking the names of
those delegates and their Post Office addresses.
Mr.. RICHARDSON, OF Iinois-lf the Convention
will give me their attention for half moment will
say word in regard to the Territories Probably III
four years from now most Of them will be States in
the Union, and am for giving them some encour-
agement ana desire 10, TO make TINS proposition to
upon the National Executive Committee member
from each of the Territories Of the United States.
Mr.. HART, OF New York. move TO lay that resolu
ton on the table, Lost
Mr.. TARBELI, of 0hio-I move to amend the resolu-
ton so as to make it include the District OF Column
bia.
General McCooK of Ohio-The District of Column
bia is not state yet and not represented on this
floor.
Mr.. D. 0. FINCH, of Iowa. am in favor OF the orr
gtna proposition, for the reason that the Territories
In four years, in all probability win be States while
the District OF Columbia never be- therefore the
amendment should be voted down.
A vote being taken On the amendment it was de-
clared lost
The question was then stated to be on the resou-
ton of the gentleman from Illinois to add TO the Ma
tonal Executive Committee one member from each
Of the Territories.
Mr.. BUELL. of Nevada would desire briefly to
call attention to the fact that there is territory
enough on the other side of the mountains out Of
which, we hope, within the next year, at least, to
carve ten States The population of all these Terri
tories are thoroughly democratic, even including my
own friend Brigham Young and his people at Utah.
Q4aughter.) Now, sir, l don't see the justice Of ex-
on this committee. This committee is to re.
main in power for four years. We will get rid
OF some OF TINS element IN tne present
that position of the country before the expiration Of
four years. hope gentlemen will reject moment
before that is done. These men have risked their
lives in the settlement OF this country, and they
carried the faith OF their fathers there.
Mr.. TILDEN, of New York-It could give us of the
large States no more pleasure than to do anything
that is reasonable for friends Of the Territories
But in the constitution OF the Executive Committee
and the discharge OF its Important functions 1t is
neutraized by the small States Of the Union It is
enough that small State OF the Union should neu-
tralize Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois.
Let not add to that by the Introduction Of dele
gates into that committee from the Territories having
very small population, that are equal in their inu
ence upon the action OF the democratic party, voting
they do that committee equally with these great
and popular States. do not think the request
reasonable; therefore move to lay the motion on
the table.
The motion was decided out Of order.
Mr.. TILDEN-I move to postpone 1t inde6-
resolution that has been offered by Mr.. Riley, OF
Pennsylvania, by way Of amendment.
The resolution was read, as foows:-
Resolved That the representation Of the next National

to be voted on was IA fOilows:-
Resolved, That in the of any state being ad.
mied who shall be named by the regular de-
member of the National Executive Committee.
The CHAIRMAN held the rest Of the resolution to be
out OF order.
The resolution as amended was agreed TO.
Mr.. WHITE, Of Maryand-I move that a commit
tee Of three be appointed by this Convention to wait
upon the Indiana delegation and inquire II there Is
any probability of them Immediately returning TO
the Convention and If not that the Convention will
take recess for an hour or two.
The motion was agreed to.

Mr.. McMULLEN, OF Virginia-Mr. President-It

that we can do little, II anything until we have
tired and taken some ref eshment. / have been

Mr.. STRAIN, OF pennsylvania, seconded the mo-
ton.
The CHAIRMAN-Mr. Nelson, of Tennessee, calls
the attention Of the Chair TO the fact that yesterday
this Convention passed resolution inviting dele
body memorial OF the wrongs suffered by that State
That resolution was adopted and the gentleman
asks that Mr.. McMulen will withdraw his resoiu-
ton for the purpose OF permitting that committee to
Mr. McMuLLEN--Mr. President-Tennessee is my
ueiRHUOT cduuOt WltnnOlu any courtesy asked LOT
by that state. therefore withdraw my motion with
