prolonged applause. which interrupted
Mr.. Conkling's remarks.
Mr.. Conkling said it was essential

hearing, but Mr.. Conkiing refused to
1ield. Mr.. Hale made q point that
he motion to take q recess was clearly
! debatable motion, and the chair %
ruled.
Mr.. Hale then opposed the motion.
He referred 10 the presence in this

who were anxious to proceed to 6usi-
ness and adjourn. The understaDd-
ing last evening was that this copvsn-
lion should proceed to business this
He combatted the position
hat the convention must be suspend

we're not ready to report. The preoe-
dents all ran in favor Of not waiting for
that committee. He callsd attention
to the action of the Cincinnati Con-
sention to tOr,ify his position on this
point. The Convention was ready for
business, and they could organize per-
and could dispose Of the
report Of the committee Oh rules and
could be ready for tie report Of the
committee when that com
mittee was ready.
Much delay Vas occasioned By the
crowding of persons not delegates into
the aisles, and it required the efforts Of
the usbers and sergeant-st-arms to
remove them. Finally Mr.. Conklins
obtained the floor and wss spplauded
from the galleries and on the floor.
In sarcastic speech be declared
there was little business that could
BE- done. Ii wss known that th<
present organization WA to b con

organization would not occapy I've

tee on rules bad instructed it, chair

them for their conscientious
