Presidency nil ses, and cries Of "sit
downnl and ask that it be read, and
that TIE convention will understand
the character of the men of that State
who sre opposed to Governor Tilden's

The chair decided the motion out of
order.
Mr.. M'Lsan Mo. II ask the Chair to
entertain mOtiOn lnat ths convention
now proceed TO ballot [eheers] which is
q motion of privilege. / suomit this
motion ss meter of privilege, which
is always in ord ar, and [ submit 1t to the
Chair and to 4he convention, as to its
being q debstable question to inquire
into the reasons why [ make thst mo-
lion.
Senator Herman IN. Y will the
gentleman from Maryland yield to me
for a qusstion2 I suggest first, and l
move that q COMMITTEES be duly appoint
cd by the Chair TO visit the committee
co resolutions, and to i1qurei il they he
likely soon TO present their report, and,
II they are not, then the gentleman from
Maryland can put his motion.
Mr.. M'Lsan-rhe only practical re-
suit of sTch motion would be to in
volve this convention, through is COM
mittee, in discussion with the COM
mittee on resolutions. 1t ia not in the
power OF this convention to interfere, in
any degree, with the committee already
appointed on resolutions. They have
the whole subject now before them. Il
cannot be the wish of any member of
this convention to hasten, IN any de.
gree, the deliberations Of that commit
Tee, or to put any pressure oa that COM
mittee. They represent each one State,
aud it is TO be supposed thst they repre-
cent judiciously the sense of each and
every deleg alton, aud we on our eide
have cur duty to perform. Our duty is
to nominate without loss OF time, and
withoutuunecessary discussion [cheeisl
Without unnects sary debate IL Is
OUr duty 70 QOmlQbLo our csnOluate. L
make the motion, am happy to say,
without consultation with any body
In or out OF my own delegation. 1t is
purely an individual suggestion, and
am convireei it is for the interest
OF the Democratic party, and
on the interests OF the country that we
should lCsa no time, and lose none Of
the irateInal spirit which brings US to-
getber, and which now animates US. /
say 1t, Mr.. Chairman, because stand
here ready to cast my ballot in this con.
sentioD, as at the polls, for any one of
the various gentlemen that have heard
suggested. Applause 1 make the
motion becauseI am jGsJ as we'll content
to have the nomiuee come from tho west
IS from the eGst, and l would be too
happy. IL it were possible, to have them
come from both the west and the east.
