like very much to have my name taker

10 be away from home. The request wa!

Mr.. Van Allen, Of New York; offel
tho following resolution:
ReSolped, That the delegates Of the sew
eral States here assembled be instructed tc
appoint temporary State Committe fol
their respective States for the purpoae O
calling State Conventions to place In cleo,
ton suitable electors and to transact such
other business as may be necessary,
The Chair-l,would suggest that il Is
very hard TO get State Convention to.
gether. 1fit should be necessary | would
therefore suggest that the resolution be
made TO read Estate Conventions or 9th.
erwlse." In some States they would pre-.
fer not 10 call a State Convention, but
rather have the nominations made by dis.
trict and county Conventions.
MIR. Van Allen. of New York; wish
to say to the Convention and the Chair
that l have had considerable experience
In trying to resurrect a fallen political
party. l know something of the labor
connected with it, and my experience
teaches me that 1t is necessary for this
Convention to instruct their delegates to
make that committee. / have mol stated
the number Of that committee. l leave
that to each body of delegates. Itshould
be done at once. lam perfectly willing
to accept the amendment Il there are no
other ways Of doing the same thing.
Blanton Duncan, Of Kentucky.-I wish
to offer an amendment. The State OF
Kentucky has had her State Convention
and has appointed Committee, | wish
to amend by adding, except where State
Conventions have already appointed their
committees.
MrIVan Allan of New York; accent
the amendment.
MIR. Schofeld OF Pennsylvania have
prepared an amendment which leaves the
matter OF the State committees with the
several States. It is as follows:
ReSOIOed, That the members Of the
National Executive Committee from the
respective States and Territories, be re.
quested TO convene as early as possible
the Democracy in State conventions or
otherwise, for the purpose Of forming cleo.
toral ticketsAa the transaction ol such
other business as may be necessary for
the prosecution Of thorough and vlgor.
Gus organization Of the campaign.
l offer this as substitute in order that
the Committee may at once act.
Mr. Van Allen-1 wish 10 state nv OBJ.
lection to the resolution offered. Il
must be remembered that the United
States extends over a vast territory
that there arc many degrees of latitude
and longitude, and many thousands Of
miles separating the places where this
Committee reside. 1t is impossible for
them TO get together in time for the pur-
pose OF protecting their organization.
This should be done at once, and there.
fore l am opposed TO this resolution.
Blanton Duncan-You don't understand
the resolution.
Mr. Van Allen-I believe it would be
more satisfactory, aud l speak from my
own experience, and think Colonel Dun
can, who has had the organization OF this
Convention IN his hands hands, will agree
with me, that where there is SO large n
committee as fifteen or twenty it will be
difficult TO get anything done. think ii
would be better to have a call from o
large number OF delegates than from one
or two men. For that reason think my
resolution is preferable.
The Chair-1f you put in the amend.
ment as l previously suggested, or other
wise, you leave il TO the States to deter
mine whether in any particular State
they can do 1t better any other way.
That is all | propose
Mr.. Van Allen-I accept the amend.
ment.
Mr.. Beekman, Of KGntucky-I offer the
following resolution:
RGS0!ued, That those States not repre-.
sented in the National Executive Com.
mittee, take the necessary steps to secure
au organization ofthe committee in such
States.
Mr.. Schoacld, Of Pennsylvania will
not press my amendment, il it is not
acceptable to the gentleman from New
York.
Mr.. Van Allen-But wish to do some.
thing about it. offer my resolution as a
substitute for the amendment Of Mr..
Duncan.
Mr.. Clark, of Michigau-I move the
following amendment. I move 10 amend
by erasiDg the words "except where they
have been appointed by State Conven.
tions," and insert "except where q State
committee already exists"
The Chair announced the question 10
be on the adoption Of the resolution as
NAlShhSht "hlSh "uo lGhll ua lOllOWSs
RcSolred, That the delegations Of the
several States here assembled, be instruct.
ed to meet and appoint State committee
ior their respective States, for the purpose
of calling State and district conventions,
to put IN nomination electors for their
respective States, and transact such other
business as may be necessary, except
where said Conventions have already ap-
pointed their own committees, and that
those States not represented in the Ma
tional Executive Committee, take neces-
sary steps TO secure and organize q State
committee in such States, except where O
State committee already exists.
