siders, and that of Gov. Tilden with .
corresponding number Of hisses, moro
vehemently expressed. The name Of

the illusions to the character OF the cam

the following gentlemen were selected
to act as secretaries of the convention:
Wallace p. Groom, New York, T. G.

MIR. T. B. Buchanan. secretary OF the
National Executive Committee, read the
call under which the convention met.

permanent organization by delegate
from Illinois, awakened some opposition,
and the chair deferred putting the mo-
ton until he had announced the follow
ing committee on credentials:
Richard Trevellick, Of Michigan; A. J.
Sraetor, Illinois; Charles E. Cunning
ham, Arkansas; Noble Smithson, Ten
nesee VIM. A. A. Karsey, New York.
Mr.. Vorhis, from Illinois, supported
his motion for committee on perman-
ent organization, and . delegate from
California moved to make the committee
consist OF one member from each State,
which was lost. The original motion
was then passed, and the chairman
named the following committee on per-
manent organization Charles A.
Voorhis, Illinois; T. B. Buchanan. In
diana; Moses w. Field, Michigan; Gen
eral Il. Wingate, Missouri; n. NJ. Allen,
Pennsylvania.
\ Mr.. Vorhis Of Illinois moved that the
temporary chairman be declared the
permanent chairman of the convention.
The chair ruled that this motion was
not in order as the convention had not
! power TO make a permanent organiza-
ton until after the committee on cred
.. entails had reported who were members
of the convention. M.
