CATIONS.

dred persons had obtained au entrance Surrep-
titOusly to the hall, all of whom were expelled

Three cheers for Oregon)
MFR. Oliver AmcS of Massachusetts,, from
the committee on rules and order of business,
reported the rules to be called in alphabetical
order.
Each state shall be entitled to double its sena-
tofial and congressional votes, according to the
Of f1,.o
mittee on credentials first and the platform are
TO be disposed of before the nominations The
roll-call shall not he dispensed with in the NOM
nations, and when majority shall be given for
any candidate and it shall appear clear the
chairman shall put the question to the conyen-
ton: "Shall the nomination be ms lie unani
mousW In case of a divided delegation the
chairman shall state the vote in dc tail for each
candidate or proposition. The rules of the
house of representatives are generally adopted
but only i've minute speeches, except by the
consent OF the convention, except that in nOmin-
ating a candidate ten minutes for each speech
will be allowed. A national committee is to be
| named by the respective sta S.
The report was unanimously adopted.
MIR. Pendleton, of Iowa, from the committee
on credentials, reported that all the states and
territories represented in full, and that there
| are no contests except in the Dakota and Ut ali
| delegations. In the case of Dakota they admit
| 81 four of the delegates, with two votes be-
| tween them. In the case of Utah they admit
the Hollster. Gould delegates.
The Gentle delegation from Utah who claim
seats are admitted. They sustained their APP
pllcatlon i'll strong paper, and presented il to
| the convention. Its contents said In explana-
| ton of our claim to seats in the convention, we
| would recall TO your minds the declaration of
| the national republican convention of 1855 to
wit: Thatit is both the Light and duty of con-
gress to prohibit in the territories those tw IN
| relics OF barbarism, polygamy and slavery.
| In conclusion we respectfully represent that
we cannot see how natiOnC' republican con-
vention could recognize polygamy by the ad-
| mission to seats of MesSrS Smith and Fuller
| without self qualification, .thout placing a
| premium on disloyalty and quasi rebellion
without doing great injustice to the loycl people
of Utah and outraging the sense of decency as
| well as the true republcanism of the entire
nation without distinction as to party
Mr. Southland moved to amend the report so
| as to admit the Utah delegates. He understood
/ that one set was excluded because they were
/ MormOnS.
MIR. Stoddard, of Massachusetts,, said the ex-
| cluded delegates were excluded because they
| were not regularly chosen.
| Mr. Spencer said these men had come a
great ways, and proposed to admit aud marry
| ALL
| Mr.. Wurtz, of New York, said that that prop.
/ osition had been made in the committee and
| that the compromise had been refused by the
| Mormon delegates.
The amendment was rejected and the report
| was then adopted.
