Rules and Order of Business reported
in favor Of receiving and acting upon the
reports OF the Committee OIL Platforms
before proceeding to nomination for
President and Vice President, also re-
stricting members to two speeches of
ten minutes each on any one subject.
Eugene Hale, of Maine, moved to
strike out that portion of the rule pro-
viding for the postponement of nomi-
nations until after the platform bad
been acted upon. Mr.. Hale. in a brief
speech, maintains that this conrse was
unprecedented. and would only aus
delay without advantage to any one
Mr.. Hatchiss, of New York, opposed
the IN otion. He thought if there was
ever a time in the history of parties re-
quiring the Endorsement of a PLATFORM,
now was that time. 1t was absurd to
put a man on horseback before getting
the horse.
General Noyes, of Ohio, opposed the
motion. Mr.. Cessna followed in the
same strain.
Pending the decision Mr.. Hale with
drew his motion. and the original re-
port was adopted.
A gentleman from New York offered
an additional rule providing for \ re-
cess of bali an hour after every ballot,
for conference.
Governor Standt, Of Rhode Island,
suggested an amendment providing la
bells for the backs of the delegates, stat
ing the exact value of each man in cash.
On motion the proposed vote was
laid on the table.
The Committee on Credentials re-
ported admitting the HARRISON dele
CATION from Alabama. and the anti
Stein delegation from Florida; where
upon Chas. N. Harris, Of Nevada,
submitted a minority report in favor
Of admitting the Spencer delegation
from Alabama, giving a lengthy rea-
son. The conclusion If the minority
report is that the prospects are the
convention will not get through before
tomorrow. The fight on the contest
bid fair to be long and hot. The ma
jority report on contested seats was
signed by "a members Of the commit
tee aud the minority report by 10.
On the Chinese resolution, Pierce,
OF Massachusetts,, made a psalm sing
ing speech in objection to it and
moved to strike out the resolution.
| He was immediately answered by Sen
ator Jones, who took the platform and
exposed the enormity of the class and
sophistry of the the theory. holding
that orr own kindred at home are
more deserving Of sympathy.
butcher, of New York, responded
in favor of the resolution, likewise
Axtell, of New Mexico, and Belfry, of
Colorado. There was not a word
frora the California delegation although
General Foote tried to get the floor but
failed. This is the result OF sending
men who are not leaders to a conven-
ton where thA Pacific coast has so
much at stake. On the vote two to
one was against striking out and the
resolution was finally adopted amid
great cheers.
The convention adjourned at $40
without taking a ballot.
