Mr.. oOnkling-Mr. President, I rise to a question
Of order.
The Chair-The gentleman Will state his question
Mr.. Conhling-It is this: Tho National Commit
tee, through its proper organ, prepared and pre-
aented u roll, on which, as 1 am Informed, the
state OF Louisiana for ono was omitted. "A biss
Tho Territory Of Utah, because of a contest, was
omitted. The resolution under which the Convsn-
ton has acted was based on that roll, and ii has
been called, and submit that Il is not i'll order,
after the execution VI that resolution. to move
that either Utah or Louisiana, or any other State

say that, like many Of the delegates around me, we
underetood the me aiming OF the resolution of the
gentleman from Maine TO be thnt the Convention
and all concerned were to stand to and abide by
tho agreed on roll.
Mr. Frye, OF Maine-Beiug n member OF the Ma.
tional Committee, and having taken part in all tho
proceeding Of that committee since wo have been
in session IN this city, ! desire to say to the
Convention, and to the gentleman from New York,
that Is was agreed by that ami that Utnh
should be put on the roll tgroat applnuseT,
ana l desire 10 shy further that tho Secretary Of
the National Committee, standing right by me
here, snys that ho left out Utah by mistake. fGreat
applause.l Now, sir, 1 take 1t that a Convention
OF Republicans are willing TO reotify a mistake
made by the Secretary. Great applause.
MI. COnkling-l regret that the honorable Sen
ator, tho honorable gentleman from Maine, who
Is so able TO mako US all hear, should have made o
motion utterly misleading, II what he now says is
tleman etated that there was a mistake in making
up the roll he would have heard no objection from
me. IAPplnuse,l And, hr. President. in that
no motion from him. because all that
was necessary to obtain unanimous con-
sent in this Convention was TO say that
~ error had been committed, and everybody
Would be for tho reotiflcRtion OF that error. ZAP
plause.l Now, Mr., Chairman, 1 beg to say that.
upon tho simple statement of the gentleman from
Maine that an error has been committed, II he
does not have unanimous consent, without O mo-
ton, TO correct It, 1t shall not DO because l object.
