Committee on Credentials would furnish Q
more complete and correct roll.
Rev. J. K. Thomas was then asked to offer
prayer by the president, and the proceed
irgs were thus opened.
Mr.. Ray moved that the rules of the
House of Representatives be adopted, but
withdrew his motion on objection.
Mr.. Guichard stated he desired to offer Q
resolution relative to the Hawaiian treaty,
and said it would meet with no opposition
and would take no time from the business
Of the convention.
The following resolution was then unani.

and labor employed in the production OF the
national staples Of sugar and rice is of the
utmost Importance to these in .erests in the
State Of Louisiana; and
Whereas, The treaty now pending be-
tween the government of the United States
and the Sandwich Islands is understood to
threaten the introduction of the cheap
sugars and rice Of foreign countries duty
free into the ports OF the United States.
thereby exposing the capital and industry
of Louisiana employed in the production of
those staples 20 the ruinOus competition Of
fcreign free, or slave co0lie labor; there
fore, be it
Resolued, That this convention cordially
approves the action of our Representatives
Of both parties in the House of Representa-

every honorable influence to defeat the
confirmation Uf that treaty, or any other
which may tend to repeal or reduce the
duties on sugar or rice, or to admit the
