saying
SPEECH or AUGUSTUS scHELI.
Mr. PREsIDENT-A large portion of the delegates now
this floor have been engaged during the whole day
in the contest with persons claiming their seats and
they have not been represented upon the various COM
mtees which have been ordered by TINS hOusei and,
although they coincide with the action OF the
Convention SO far as it has been taken and
the honorable position OF President Of this
Convention, yet, sir, they think that they should
be represented on the Committee on Resolutions; that
they should have an opportunity Of selecting the mem
bers of their State Commtee that they should havo
an opportunity 20 confer with each other and with tho
delegates OF this Convention as to the persons who are
TO be put in nomination for the various offices for
which nominations are TO be made They think that il
would be unwise and unjust toward them TO have tho
proceedings OF this Convention continued without an
opportunity for them to take part in them. there

TO meet tomorrow morning at ten o'clock.

authoritative body. There is warrant OF au-
thority vested in the State Central Committee TO
make up list for the Secretary call the roll from,
