ceeded to say that the national commit

was omitted; the territory of Utah was
also omitted. The resolution under
that roll, aad he submitted that it was
not co1hpetent to call it.
The ohairsaid be was- OF the opinion
that the roll ado pted dssly sas oosAnittee
was the proper roll, but be could not
hold that it was not out of order to move
that Utah be called.

him to move to call the state of Louisi-
ana. He did not make that motion. hut
understood that the committee was to
abide BY that roll.

learned, before he made ~ Z
and not sooner. that the roll was incor-
rect through Mr.. Keogh's mistake.
The chair ruled that Utah should be
called. This little episode caused
considerable sensation, and there were
many demonstrations of applause.
Upon the conclusion Of the debate, the
chair referred to this fact and requested
that order be preserved.
A resolution was adopted providing
that all contests should be referred to
the committee on credentials, without
debate on Recommendation by the COM
mittee.
When Illinois was called a contest was
c1scorled in behalf of ten congressional
districts of that state, by Mr.. Hender-
son, adeleeate to the convention from
lows. NGi0as! states were called, and
the chairman gave notice as u rule that
the credentials Of regular delegates had
been sent to the desk of the secre-
tary, and where contests were an
nounced, some members of the
other delegation, us in the
case of Pennsylvania by the chairman,
gave notice to the same effect. In Penn
sylvania two contests in congressional
districts, the sixth and ninth, were re-
corded.
This business being nearly concluded.
MIR. Conkling, in behalf of the republi-
cans of Utah, presented protest and
contest from that territory, which ac-
cording to rule was sent to the COM
mittee.
General Logan, of Illinois, offered Il

tickets to distribute among veteran SOL
diers 500 tickets. General Logan spoke
earnestly in behalf Of the veterans,
and said lie understood that the commit.
tee had refused this, q courtesy that had
been accorded in every other republican
national convention. There was mani
fest some evidence of personal feeling.
He said that none of them wished to
cheer for anV man. =
Gen. Fitzpatrick also spoke for the res
Olution. which being put to vote was de-
clared carried.
The committees on credentials, rules,
business. permanent organization and
resolutions were assigned rooms, and at
once proceeded to transact business in
quarters adjoining the stage.
Mr.. Conkling, obtaining the floor, said
one or two OF these committees might re-
port this afternoon or evening, but that
at least the committee on credentials
would not be ready to report until to-
morrow morning. He suggested that
the convenience of all members would
be subserved and business best forward
ed by adjournment. He therefore moved
that the convention adjourn to II o o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Hale, of Maine, remarked that this
seemed 10 De proper actlOn, as nothlnG
could be accomplished by an evening
session which would not be done rs well
or better in the early hours of the morn.
