view of the exigencies of the SITUATION q
move be made TO secure allies from OtheI
I parties politically different, was read ana
referred.
A resolution repudiating Governor II. Z.
WarmOth, and stating him to bf unworthy
| the confidence of this or any other party,
was referred.

Uproar for 'Hprevious question, while the
chair frantically pounded the thble, COM
menced, intermingled with cries for 'di-
vision of the question" and the whole cur
riculum of a parliamentary education was
rehearsed IN very few minutes.
Sixteen members on the floor at once, all
talking different ways.
Baton Rouge resolution read again.
Devezan fighting for hearing again, and
\ talking himself hOarse on the quest tiOn that
he was not to be cried down.
Sixteen more members on the floor
on different points, when a motion was
made to adjourn until ten o'clock the next
day, which being lost
Baton Rouge resolution read again, and
the two propositions indOrsed therbiR were
divided and put, the one calling fCr an ad-
jOurnment Silge die when all the business
was done, was adopted, and that calling for
the next meeting at Baton Rouge was re-
jected.
This being disposed of, the RESOLUTION
calling on Congress to pass the supple
mental civil rights bill, offered bH Joseph
H. Wilson, came up and was referred, on
suggestion of the mover
Resolution urging the amendment to the
enforcement act so that it extend bVer the
State, was adopted mem con.
Mr. Wilson had a pack of resolutions
which were shook out one by one, and the
motion was finally made TO refer those and
and all other resolutions to the committee
for report.
This was laid on the table by the movers
Mr. Burch, pointing to the right prOsoe-
MUM box, where IngFaham, LIE Fis and
others were sitting, II rise to point of
Order-gOU whisky in there" Fact
Motion was made to refer all FesblutiOns
to the Central State Committee, whieh eli
cited more talk.
Mr.. Wickham objected to this reference
pOintedly, and wanted the resolutions re-
ported to-day at ten.
Mr.. Packard said, in regard to harmonic
ing the discOrdant elements, that it was inn
possible. Terms of compromise would result
in the control of the central committee by
Governor Warmoth. 1t was out of the ques-
ton. The central committee, being charged
to harmonic matters, could arTaInge the
resolutions in the shape of platfOlm, to be
submitted to the next convention. This, he
suggested, was the proper way. His com
mlttee would leave nothing undonb for the
interest of the party.
Mr.. Ladd thought there was a cat in the
meal tub, and was now satistid there was.
The resolutions were to be crampeR he felt
sure of il. The Central Committee failed
to do their duty to the party. Loud ap-
plause.1 He wanted the cOmmittse on res
OlutiOns to be perpetuated and draw up the
whole number-wanted a committee of five
TO confer with Lieutenant Governor Pinch
| back, with the view Of harmOnizing the
party. He only wanted enc instead of
! three. Ills motives were not to be impugn-
ed by the chairman of the Central Com
mittee; believed a fusion of the two COM
mittees was possible: the other side no per.
son had been to them as authorized to act.
Were a conference committee appointed ad-
Justment was possible. To unite is not 60
ing to hurt any body.
Mr.. NJ. F. Smith fighting for the floor.
Mr.. Burch got it. Did not know but
what the convention had the power to form
a union committee. When the peace Of the
party was at issue, he had the interest of
his party too much at heart to spurn Mr..
Pinchback's committee, or any other set of
Republicans. II Pinchback was elected to
the convention at Philadelphia, and wanted
to vote for Grant, who would refus be to send
him there Not he.
Here the convention adjourned until to-
day at eleven o'clock. the controlling iniu-
ence finding the voice of the majority get
ting round in favor of reunion of the party,
and hence Objectionable on that account, as
it is intended to make the party close cor
poratiOn.
