lis I6pOIts Ao haA OCSn lO!A ~
members OF that committee that they
are ready to report, 40! in one or two
or three cases, but on nearly every
case referred to it. Why should
not that committee make such
report as it wes ready to
make, and let the convention
pass upon il? He submitted that
good faith and the good understand
ing of all concerned would be pro-
NOTED by proceeding now 10 consider
the report of the committee on con-
tested seats.
Henderson, of Iowa, replied that q
good reason why the amendment
should not prevail was the fact that
while the committee on rules had
finished its work and was ready tC
report, the committee on credentials
had not completed their work and
would probably not do 80 before to-
morrow morning, and until then
could not be here themselves to ex-
plain and sustain their own action.
The chair stated that the question
was first upon Shsrpe's motion &c
amend so as to instruct the commit
tee on contested seats to report.
Sharpe asked that the question be
taken by yeas and nays, and the
chair, exercising his own discretion
in the absence Of any adopted rules
so ordered.

The question recurring on Il
original motion, Brandage, of Coz
necticut, said he rose IN the interes
of order, harmony and peace; he BIS
voted against the amendment just r.
jeotej, but he thought there was
= fair understanding in the commi
tee On rules that their repo
should not be made until after thi
: of the committee on credentials. &
moved to lay on the table the pendir
motion lnstructing the latter conmi
tee to report, with view to adjonrl
ing until tomorrow morning. Tt
motion to table was agreed to, al
the convention, on motion OF Metcal
of Illinois, adjourned, at 6.45, Unit
. tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock.
The platform of the conventio
has been perfected and is ready to /
reported. Members of the committt
say that it recites and extols tt
deeds of the republican party, poin
out the necessity for maintaining j
! principles and its control of govern
ment in the interest of human righ
and material prosperity; declare
against further land grants to rail
roads, or subsidies in any form; aI
proves Hayes administration, an
arraigns the democratic party for i
past az well as present attitude, spir
and purposes; the anti-Chine;
plank go modified as TO dissrl
New England antagonists is expecte
to be reported in the form Of d.
claration, substantially as follows
While We offer a home to all who wis
to cast in their votes with the Amer
can people, yet we are assured b
our fellow citizens of the Pacifi
Coast that grave dangers rise from to
: unlimited influx of a strange people
who are without any sympathy wit
our civilization and free institutions
who seek our shores not for q HON
but merely 10 get money to take bac
with them to the homes they left, an
we therefore invite the earnest aitsn
ton of the government Of the Unite
States to a careful consideration {
the evils arising from such immigra
ton, with view to make such treatit
and enact such laws as will avert th
dangers complained of.
It is doubtful whether snytnin
more radical could be carried in To
convention in view OF the preser
uninformed preiudices OF easter
people, who are unable to realize tn
Monaghan dangers as seen by thos
who come in practical contact with
on the Pacific.
Another day OF convention il
which Blaine's friends have iniis
putsbly won all the points made, an
have also attracted their sctiS
sympathy Of the immense audienci
by their manly bearing and gooC
temper in the presence of ConklIng'
ill-natured and unprovoked irony. z
less than by the good nstured vi
with which the Maine man carriet
and turned bis intended 70 be crush
