GUS applause.

Mr. Oonkling-Mr. President, I rise to a
| question of order.
| The chair-the gentleman will state his ques-
| tiOn of order.
| Mr.. Oonkling-It is this, the national COM
mittee, through its proper organ, prepared and
presented a roll on which, as l am Informed,
| the State of Louisiana for one was omitted "a
hiss.) The territory of Utah, because of q
contest was omitted. The resolution under
on that roll, and it has been called, and l sub
NIT that it is not in order after the execution
of that resolution to move either that Utah or
| Louisiana or any other State or territory omit
ted, now be placed upon the roll. have no
right, Mr.. President, to speak of the merits,
but whenever the motion in respect to Utah is
| in order, beg to be heard upon the merits of
that controversy. (Yells of applause
The Chair-The chair is of the opinion that
the roll referred to in the resolution which has
been adopted by the convention is the roll pre-
pared by the national committee, and that the
order OF the convention embraced In that res
| olution has been executed. The chairman can
not hold as q matter of order that it is out of
order to move now to call another Territory or
State. cloud applause and yells).
Mr.. Conkling-I will inquire of the chair
whether it is in order for me to move to amend
the motion by adding as well the State of
Louisiana.
The chair-Undoubtedly
MIR. Oonkling-I do not make that motion
nor do I appeal from the decision of the chair,
beg to say that like many delegates around
me- we understood the meaning of the resolu-
tions of the gentleman from Maine that the
convention and all concerned. were to stand to
and abide by the agreed Foil.
Mr.. Frye of Maine-Being member of the
national convention and having taken part in
all the proceedings of that committee since we
have been in session in this convention,
I desire to say to the conven-
New Yor4, that it was agreed by that commit
tee that Utah should be put ON to the roll
(Great applause.) And l desire to say further
that the secretary of the national committee
standing right by me here, says that he left
out Utah by a mistake. Great applause
Now, sir, / take it that a convention of Re-
publicans are willing to rectify mistake made
by the secretary. (Great appiause.)
MIR. Conkling-I regret that the honorable
Senator, the honorable gentleman from Maine,
who is 80 able to make us all hear should have
made motion utterly misleading. If what he
now says is true, and do not doubt that it is,
had that gentleman stated that there was
mistake in making up the roll, he would have
heard no objection from me- (Applause). And
Mr.. President, in that event the convention
would have heard motion from him,
because all that was necessary to obtain unani-
nous consent in this convention was
to say that an error had been committed, and
every body would be for the rectifcation of
that error. (Applause.) Now, Mr.. Chairman,
beg to say, that upon the simple statement of
the gentleman from Maine, that an error has
been committed, if he docs not have unanimous
consent without motion to correct it, it
shall not be because object. (Applauss.)
MIR. Frye-Mr. Chairman, in reply to the
gentleman from New York, Idesire to say when
made my motion l had just been informed
that Utah hal been left off. know it was the
agreement it should 60 on. The secretary was
not near me for me to inquire. He came to
me after my objection was made.
The Chair-Is there an objection to the mo-
ton? The chair hears none. The Territory
will now be called.
Richard O. Mccormick, of Arizona--I ask
for the reading of the resolution that sent to
the committee while ago.
The secretary read the resolution as follows
Resolved That the roll of states and terri
tories be called for the presentat on of creden-
tials and for notice of contest. All such papers
shall be referred without statement or debate
to the committee on credentials.
Mr.. Mccormick move the adoption of the
resolution.
The chair-The chair requests all persons in
the convention occupants of the galleries or Of
the floor, to abstain from demonstrations of
applause, or disapprobation, while the con-
vention is conducting its business.
Mr.. Conkling-I request that the reading of
the resolution be repeated.
The secretary read the resolution second
time.

say aye, those opposed no. The ayes have it.
