Mr.. Conkling inquired Of the Temporary
Chairman when the Committee on Creden-
tials would be ready to report, and was an
swered not before four p. m. Mr.. Conkllng
thereupon moved that the Convention take q
recess until six p. m. NJ. Hale made the
point OF order that resolution to adjourn to
time certain was debatable. and the Tenn
porary Chairman 30 ruled. Mr.. Hale then
spoke to the motion, insisting that the Con-
venflon was ready for. business and could act
upon the report Of the Committee on Perma-
nent Organization. MI. Conkhng replied,
and said the Convention could not properly

Cassoday, of Wisconsin,, raised the point of
order that there was no knowledge before
the Convention that there was any contest
In Illinois, and would not be until the report
Of the Committee on Credentials was re-
the point not well taken: Mr.. Logan raised
the point Of order that the Convention was
without rules, and could not therefore trans
act any business, and that 1t could not adopt
rules until 1t was permanently organized.
This point was. also overruled. As the Sec

Mr.. Frye, Of Maine, moved that the Com
requested to submit its report. Mr.. Sharpe,
Of New York, objected and stated that he had
been instructed to prepare minority report,
q duty he had not yet performed, and one
which he would not be able to perform unless
more time were given him. Mr.. Frye
said If the Chairman Of the Committee on
Rules would say that It was agreed to give
views he would not press the motion. Mr.
Garfield, of Ohio, hereupon arose and said
the Committee had decided that it ought not
to make its report until after the report of
the Committee on Credentials had been pre-
scented. No vote had been taken on the request
their views. He thought, however, that cour-
tesy and good faith required that the oppor-
tunity desired by the minority should be given
