Evening Session or the Convention.
The Convention was called to order in
evening session at 5:25 O'Clock.
Mr.. Henderson, OF Iowa, said the CON-
mittee on Credentials would not be ready TO
report at this session. He moved, therefore,
that the Committee on Rules be requested
to make their report so that the Convention
could proceed TO business.
Mr.. Logan, OF Illinois, said the committee
had agreed to defer their report on rules
and order OF business until after action was
had on the report on contested seats. III
the Convention desires victory for its work,
| its members should not raise the axe too
hastily at the heads Of their brethren.
l[Cheers.] The rules ought not to be adopt
ed before they knew who were entitled to
seats as representatives in the body, espe-
cially as one OF the rules to be reported
would limit speakers to five minutes each.
Let the compact be kept that was agreed to
by the committee, and let the consideration
OF the rules be deferred until the report
OF the Committee on Credentials Is made.
