Mr.. Person then put the motion on the
adoption of the report, and declared it unani-
mously adopted. Mr. Hoar was then con-
Quoted to his seat and introduced as the Per-
Chairman of the Convention. The
Chair then delivered a brief address and
declared the Convention permanently organ
lied
Mr.. Frye, of Maine, moved that the Com
mittee on Rules and Order of Business be
requested to submit its report. Mr. Sharpe,
of New York, objected anG stated that he had
been instructed TO prepare a minority report,
a duty lie had not yet performed, and one
which he would not be able to perform unless
more time were given him. Mr.. FRYE
said if the Chairman of the Committee on
Rules would say that it was agreed to give
the minority an opportunity TO express their
views he would not press the motion. Mr..
Garfield, of Ohio, hereupon arose and said
the Committee had decided that it ought not
to make its report until after the report of
the Committee on Credentials had been pre-
Sented. No vote had been taken on therequest
Of the minority for an opportunity to present
their views. He thought, however, that cour-
tesy and good faith required that the oppOr-
tunity desired by the minority should be given
them. At this point Mr.. Frye withdrew his
motion and moved that the COnven-
ton take a recess until five O'Clock.
Mr.. Conkling congratulated the Maine del
rgatiOn upon the happy delyerance from all
their Affections, and sarcastically referred to
the vast amount of business that had been
transacted through their opposition to his
motion for recess earlier in the day. Mr..
Frye returned thanks to the gentleman from
New York for his kindly congratulation.
The motion for a recess prevailed, and the
Contention stood adjourned until five
o'clock.
Al twenty minutes after five the Convention
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, moved that the
Committee on Rules and Order of Business
be requested to hand in the!r report. Mr.
Logan made a speech, in :, Mich he urged that
the motion be withdrawn, or that its further
be postponed. Mr.. Henderson
supported the motion, and asked why delay
was sought. A running debate followed, in
which Mr.. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,
Messrs. White and Hamilton, of Ken
lucky, Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Garfield
At its conclusion, Mr. Sharpe
moved as a substitute for the ending motion
that the Committee on Credentials be in
structed to make its report. Mr.. Garfield and
Mr.. Conkling spoke to the question, and at
the conclusion of their remarks the roll was
called, resulting in the defeat of the substi-
tute by ayes, 3lS; noes, 400 leaving the mo-
ton pending that the Committee on Rules be
to submit its report.
At this point Mr. Brandagee, of Connect
tut in the interest q harmony and peac',
moved to temporarily table the pending res
button, and the Convention so voted. Mr..
OF Illinois, moved that the Cunyen-
ion adjourn until ten o'clock a. m. on the
It'll. The motion prevailed, and the Conven-
ion stood adjourned.
