reluctance, because, like others, / Am very
anxious the Convention should conclude

terday, and by common consent, Tor | hSd
the pleasure then Of concurring With the
gentleman from New York, We adjourned
with the clear understanding that on this

business, the Convention should 10 TO
work. Great applause ,
II Is plain that because the Committee
on Credentials Is not ready 10 report that
tho whole Convention must become In
condition Of suspended animation, and
con do nothing, and II Is with some that
until we know our membership nothing
can be done. But, Mr.. President, In Re-
publican Conventions heretofore much
business has been done before the Com.
mittee on Credentials, which necessarily
must hRyS time 10 report or prevent It's
linatbr preliminary ISboFt hold In my
hand the official record ot the proceedings
OF ths Convention Of 1875. the last one DO.
fore this which met In Cincinnati, and
/ find the same condition which con.
lronted that Convention and which
conirontA us now at this hour. The
Committee on Credentials was the hard
working Committee Of the Convention.
1t was not ready 10 report then, as other
Committees were ready, because Of the
hand work on II, but the Convention
wanted to do business. The gentleman
will and, and ] call the attention ot the
gentleman from New YORK, do not need
10 do this with his thorough preparation
on everything before this Conyehlon--
he has Il already iamiliarly in his mind.

The Gentleman iron Massachusetts,
