vehemently expressed. The name Of
Lincoln was received with cheers, and
the illusions to the character OF the cam
paign to be carried on this year were
applauded most enthusiastically. At

the following gentlemen were selected
to act as secretaries Of the convention:

MIR. T. B. Buchanan, secretary OF the
National Executive Committee, read the
call under which the convention met.
Mr. Trevellick moved that a commit

which was carried.
A motion to appoint committee on
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.
Straetor, 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
1 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 K. 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 permanent organiza-
ton until after the committee on cred
entails had reported who were member:
of the convention.
