These resolutions went to the com
mittee on resolutions under the previOu:
order without debate. The convention
then took q recess until half-pss! seven
O'cl0cs in the evening.
The convention ressaembled at half
past eight O'Clock this evening. The
chaiS stated the question TO be the
amendment offered by Mr.. Fulton in
structing the delegates to stand by Gov
ernor Morton for President released
by him.
NJ. w. Gibbs, (col.) president Of the
late Colored convention at Cincinnati,
said he was opposed ordinarily 10 in
stTucling the delegates, and .vss opposed
to the amendment offered by Mr.. Full
ton. He would favor the original resO-
lutlon of the committee, Because it
simply says that "GoveruOr Morton Is
the choice Of the Republicans Of Arkan-
sas for President"
Mr.. Fulton then withdrew his amend
ment, and the resolution originally re.
ported by the committee was adopted.
The committee on resolutions then
submitted the following, which was
adopted:

and whereas, it would be worse than
folly for the Republican party to pu. q

hope of electing the same at an election
held by Democratic judges and clerks Of

not be allowed to be present; therefore
