Committee on Credentials. Notices of con.
test were given by Alabama, Illinois, Penn
sylvania, Louisiana and Utah.
Mr.. Logan, of Illinois, offered resolution
giving seats as spectators to the members of
the Veteran Association, which the Conven-
tion adopted by q unanimous vote.
MIR, Conkling, of New York. said that, as
the Convention had been depleted by the
withdrawal of the members belonging TO the
various Committees, II would be only just and
courteous to them TO adjourn, and therefore
moved that the Convention adjourn to meet
at eleven o'clock on the morning of the 3D.
This motion was seconded by Mr.. Hale, Of
Maine and adopted by the Convention, and
the Convention adjourned.
Second Day.
The Convention was called to order
by Temporary Chairman Hoar at II 40 a. m.
on the 3D., pursuant to adjournment Rev.
DR.. Noble, Of Chicago, was introduced and
offered prayer.
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.. Conkling
thereupon moved that the Convention take q
recess until six p. m NJ Hale made the
point Of order that a resolution to adjourn to
a time certain was debatable, and the Tenn
porary Chairman so ruled. Mr.. Hale then
spoke to the motion, insisting that the Con-
vention was ready for business and could act
upon the report of the Committee on Perma-
nent Organization. Mr.. COnkling replied,
and said the Convention could not properly
transact any business until it knew its con-
stituent members. There being no further
discussion the motion of Mr.. Conkling for
recess until six p. m. was voted down.
Mr. Joy, of Michigan, sent up resolution
giving the contestants for the disputed seats
In the Illinois delegation the right to be
heard before the Convention by such counsel
as they might select. Mr. Campbell, OF West
Virginia, moved to table the resolution. Mr..
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-
ceived. The Temporary Chairman decided
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 it could not adopt
rules until it was permanently organized.
This point was also overruled. AS the Sec
retary began to call the roll, Mr.. Joy, the
mover, withdrew the resolution.
Mr.. Sewell, of New Jersey, moved that the
Committee on Permanent Organization be
requested to submit its report. There being
no objection, the motion was put and declared
carried. Mr., Pierson, Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Permanent Organization, submit
ted report recommending as permanent
officers OF the Convention the following:

Mr. Pierson then put the motion on the
adoption OF the report, and declared IL unani-
IiBously adopted. Mr.. Hoar was then con-
Quoted TO his seat and introduced as the Per-
manent Chairman of the Convention. The
Chair then delivered brief address and
declared the Convention permanently organ
ized.
Mr.. Frye, of Maine, moved that the Com
mittee on Rules and Order Of Business be
requested TO submit its report. Mr.. Sharpe,
Of New York, objected and stated that he had
been instructed 10 prepare minority report
duty he had not yet performed, and one
which he would not be able TO perform unless
more time were given him. Mr. Frye
fdlu II Tue OudlfDhdH OF lne committee on
Rules would say that 1t was agreed TO give
the minority AN opportunity to express their
views he would not press the motion. Mr..
GARFIELD, Of Ohio, hereupon arose and said
the Committee had decided that IL ought not
TO make lis report until after the report of
the Committee on Credentials had been pre-
sented. No vote had be zen taken on the request
Of the minority for an opportunity TO present
their views. He thought, however, that cOur-
tesy and good faith required that the oppor-
tuntty desired by the minority should be given
them. At this point Mr.. Frye withdrew his
motion and moved that the ConVen-
tion take recess until five o'clock.
yMr. Conkling congratulated the Maine del
egation upon the happy deliyerance from all
their afiiietions, and sarcastically referred 10
the vast amount Of business that had been
transacted through their opposition TO his
motion for recess earlier In the day Mr..
Frye returned thanks TO the gentleman from
New York for his kindly congratulation.
The motion for recess prevailed, and the
convention stood adjourned until tiye
o'clock.
Attwenty minutes after five the Convention
Teassembled.
Mr.. Henderson, Of Iowa, moved that the
Committee on Rules and Order of Business
DO requested 10 hand Ia their report Mr.,
Logan made a speech, In which he urged that
the motion be Withdrawn, or that It's further
consideration be postponed. Mr.. Henderson
supported the motion, aud asked why delay
was sought. A running debate followed, IN
