publican party in Chicago had selected the noble Lincoln, who had given the party its first success. (Applause.) Lincoln had gone to his rest His companion upon that ticket, who was still fresh and wig (Applause for Hanlin, Lincoln had gone with many of the brave leaders of the party. But the party was still the same, unchanged in principle, character and purpose. The Democratic party ruled now as then by the stalwarts of the South and their Northern friends. In pursuit of their objects every great public interest was sacrificed or disre- garded They expended little for public i'm provement. yet in 1860 six per cent. bonds were below par, the Treasury was empty and the navy was scattered to the four quarters of the globe, while millions who are now citizens were in bondage. At last the Democratic party had to let go it's hold on power, but not until the national flag seemed about to be folded and laid aside as an em- blem of their experiment. It was party steeped in bitter partisanship and fraud both North and South, and 1t had recently stood forth in it's true character in it's impotent en- deavor to steal the State of Maine. Nil. HoaT in closing said: T thank you again for this distinguished mark of your kindness and con- idenee, which I will endeavor to merit by performing the duties of the chair during the brief space which I shall fill it without re- spect of person or desire to do other than my duty impartially to every delegate to this convention"
 The following were appointed temporary secretaries John H. Roberts of Illinois, c. L. McGee of Pennsylvania also Charles W. Cisby of Alabama and J. c. Broadwen of Missouri as reading clerks, and Eugene Da- wis of New York as official stenographer.
 Eugene Hale, of Maine, offered a resolu- ton that the names of States be called for the names of members of committees on per
 
 resolutions, which was adopted with no op- position. The secretary then called the roll of States for the naming of members of committees. When New Hampshire was called there was cheering, but when Ohio was called and Garfeld's name was announced as member of the committee on rules and order of business, the first real outburst of enthusiasm in the convention took place. The new National Committee selected is as fol- lows: Alabama, Paul Starbuck; Arkansas, s. W.

A few of the States refused to name member of the committee until after the nomination.
 When tba caI1 of StafaS and [Farrit0riAS WAS supposed to be finished Governor Me Cormick representing Arizona, stepped into the aisle in front of the platform and shouted to the Chair that he desired to have read a resolution which he had sent up to the Chair. Chairman Hoar said he recognized the gen. tleman from Arizona, but before the resolu- tion could be read MT. Frye, of Maine, who was on the platform, shouted T notice that the Territory of Utah was omitted in the call of Territories. I know of no reason for its omission, and I therefore move that it be called''
 Chairman Hoar said: Eff there be no ob- lection the Territory will be called"
 MT. Conkling-''There is objection, Mir. President" Sensation and applause MT. President I rise to question of order"
 The Chair-''The gentleman will state his question of order"
 Mr Conkling-s'It is this. The National Committee through it's proper organ prepared ana presented the FOIL OH WHICH, dS 1 AIn 1Il- formed, the State of Louisiana for one was omitted. The territory of Utah because of a contest was omitted. The resolution under which the convention has acted was based on that roll and it has been called and I sub init that it is not in order after the execution of that resolution to move either that Utah or Louisiana or any other State or Territory omitted now be placed upon the roll. have no right to speak of the merits of this ques- tion, but whenever motion in respect of Utah is in order beg to be heard on the merits of that controversy" Applause
 The Chairman-The Chair is of the opin- ion that the roll is the roll prepared by the National Committee, and the order of the convention embraced in the resolution has been executed, but the Chair cannot hold as a matter of order that it is out of order to move now to call another Territory. (Cheers).
 Mr. ConkIing said: ''Will the chair allow me to ask whether it is in order for me to move to amend the motion by adding as well the State of Louisiana? do not make that motion, nor do I appeal from the decision of the Chair; but with great respect for the Chair, I beg to say that, like many delegates around, we understand from the resolution of the gentleman offering the motion that the committee and all concerned were to stand and abide by the agreed rule" (Cheers.)
 MT. Frye, of Maine, said Mr. Chairman
 
 and having taken part in all the proceedings of the committee since we have been in ses- sion in this city, I desire to say to the con- vention and the gentleman from New York that 1t was agreed by that committee that Utah should be put on the roll. Cheers )And, Mir. Chairman, 1 desire to say that the secretary of the National Committee stand ing by me says that he left Utah off by mis- take (cheers.) Now, sir, ask if this con- vention of Republicans are not willing to remedy a mistake made by it's secretary. (Cheers.)
 Mr. Conkling said I regret that the gentleman from Maine, who is so able to make us all hear, should have made motion utterly misleading if what he now says is true I do not doubt it. Had he stated that there was a mistake in making up the roll he would have heard no objections from me, Mir. President. In that event the convention would have heard no motion from me because all that was necessary to obtain unanimous consent in this convention was to say that an error had been committed and everybody would have been for the rectifcation of it. that, upon the simple statement Of the gen tleman from Maine that an error has been committed, if he does not have unanimous consent without motion to correct, it shall not be because object. Applause.
 MT. Frye-In reply to she honorable gen. Cl6man IrOm NGW 1OTk l O0SlF0 bO say bIld6 when I made the motion had just been in formed that the name of Utah had been left off I know the agreement was that Utah should go on, and the secretary did not come to me to say that 1t was mistake until after my motion was made.
 The Chair then stated that if there was no further objection Utah would be added to the roll and called for the committee. Is there any further objection to the resolution :? There is not. The secretary will call the Territory. Utah was then called in accord ance with the ruling of the Chair. The epi- sode created considerable excitement in the convention, which was on the qui vive for any appearance of belhgerency between the leaders of,the rival clements. Governor Me Cormicks resolution was then read and was to the effect that the roll of States be called for presentation of credentials and notices of contest, and that all contests be referred to the committee without debate. The resolution was adopted without dis sent. Alabama reported three contest ed seats When Illinois was called General Henderson, of Iowa, presented the credentials and memorial from the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth and Seventeenth districts of Illinois. The announcement was received with loud and prolonged cheers. When ex-Governor Yarmouth announced the credentials of Louisiana one of the dele oates asked for the rriyiIepe to send with the
