party, If, in tho coming contest, it was TO sue
coed. The committee had agreed to postpone
tho enforcement of tho flvo.minute rulo until
tho composition Of tho convention was de-
cded, III that agreement was not unanimous
1t had been Mt all events reached without q
dissenting voice. He now moved TO amend
the motion by ordering the committee on Gre.
dcntials to make its report.
Mr. Garfield said that thero was no ground
for any charge of bad faith by anybody in tho
committee on rules He did not understand
thatany such charge was made. The fact was
that the committee agreed that thoy would
not OF their own motion present their report
until after tho committee on contested Goats
should have reported, but Whenever the con-
vontiOn chooses to order tho report from his
committee, tho latter had no other duty but to
obey. Ho said also that the proposed rules
were so drawn rs 10 leave to the convention
the power to extend any speakers time be-
You'd five minutes whenever it should so
choose even though tho general limitation of
each speaker should be fixed at fivo
minutes. Mr., Conklng, of New York,
said somo hours ago tho convention
had adjourned until o'clock for the purpose
of giving tho committee on credentials timo
to report. The meaning of tho recess was
that when the convention came together
again the committee on credentials would
make its report. He had boon told by NOM
bers OF that committee that they were ready
to report, not on ono or two or three cases,
but nearly every case referred to it, Why
should not that committee make such report
as IL was ready to mako and lot Tie conven-
tiOn pass upon it2 lie submitted that the
good faith aud the good understanding of all
concerned would be promoted and observed
by proceeding now TO consider that report OF
the committee on contested seats.
Mr.. Henderson replied that good rea.
sou why the amendment should not prevail
was the fact that while the committee OH
rules had flushed its work and was ready to
report the committee on credentials had not
completed their work and would probably not
do so before tomorrow morning, and until
then could not bo here themselves to explain
and sustain their own action.
The chair stated that the question was first
upon Mr. Sharpe's motion to amend so as to
instruct tho committee on contested seats to
report.
Mr., Sharpe asked that the question be taken
by ayes and noes, and the chair exercising his
own discretion in absence of any adopted rule,
so ordered. The vote was Alabama 10 ayes.
After the vote of Alabama WAS announced

wished to vote in the negative.

were delegates from that state who desired to
vote no. There We're foul stalwarts who de.
sired their votes recorded no. Applause and

Because of the delegates excited and bois.
terous manner the chair ruled that all debate
on anything else than correction of tho vote
be out of order. The chairman of the Ken
tucky delegation here rose and said he would
then give the names Of the four, but Just then
Mr.. COnkling went up to him and said word
which led him to forego his purpose and take
his seat Then the four Kentucky dssentants

amid great applause. Tho vote of

ion, Mr.. Brandagee, of Connecticut, said he
ose in the interest of order, harmony aud |
eace. lie had voted against the amendment |

in the committee on rules that
