Report Of the Committee on Rules published in
the Commercial Of yesterday
Mr. Garteld-I don't understand that these rules
are now up for discussion, but the Convention has
directed that the report be made for the iniOrina,
ton OF the house. Az a part OF that information
! make this statement. Tho Committee on Rules
have made but two substantial changes in the
rules OF 1876. The first T. merely verbal changes,
and r9arrangement OF the rules in what they
thought was a more convenient order, aud in that
understand the vote Of the com
mittee to be absolutely unanimous. The only
change of substance in any rule, is the language
in the last clause OF Rule Eight, in regard 10 the
vote where a state may be divided. In that case
the Committee on Rules thought it best TO en-
body the precedent of rulings in all former Re
publican Conventions, as they believed it a plain,
unamhignous addition TO the rules, Beyond that
no cndhRc mas De6n made. Ihat Ii all 1 say now,
When II comes up for consideration / may have
eomething to say. ] understand that a minority Of
the Comirnitiee desire to offer a minority report,
and IS the Chairman of that Committee, ] have
said to them that they OuEht TO be heard, and I
have no doubt,hey will be.

lowing report on behalf of tho minority.
The report was passed up to tho Secretary and

a majority OF the Committee after a prOtracted debate
is unwise; that it tends TO invite discussions which may
not otherwise be forced upon the Convention; that 1t Is
