Mr. FRYE, or Maine, asked why Utah had
been omitted from the roll, and moved that
it be called. Mr.. Conkling, of New York. |
objected unless Louis ana should be also I
called. Considerable discussion followed, /
when Mr. FRYE stated that the Secretary of /
the National Committee said that Utah was
omitted by mistake, whereupon Mr.. COnk- !
ling withdrew his objection, and Mr. Frye's |
motion to call Utah prevailed. The Utah del |
egation then nominated Pressly Denny as
member of the Committee on Resolutions
