Mr. Person then put the motion on the

mously adopted. MIR. Hoar was then con-
Quoted to his seat and introduced as the Per-
manent Chairman of the Convention. The

lied.
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 anG stated that he had
been instructed 10 prepare a 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
said II the Chairman Of the Committee on
Rules would say that it was agreed to give
the minority an opportunity to express their
views he would not press the motion. Mr..
Garfield, of Ohio, hereupou 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-.
sented. No vote had been 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.
tunity 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.
Mr. COnkling congratulated the Maine del.
hnnnN nn al
their Affections, and sarcastically referred to
the vast amount of business that had been
transacted through their opposition to his
motion for a recess earlier in the day. Mr.,
Frye returned thanks to the gentleman from
New York for his kindly congratulation.
The motion for a recess prevailed, and the
Convention stood adjourned until five
O'Clock.
Attwenty minutes after five the Convention
reassembled.
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, moved that the
Committee on Rules and Order of Business
be requested to hand in their report Mr.

the motion be withdrawn, or that its further
consideration be postponed. Mr.. Henderson
supported the motion, and asked why delay
was sought A running debate followed, ii
which Mr.. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,
tucly Mr.. Sharpe and Mr.. Garfield
participated. AT its conclusion, Mr. Sharpe
moved as a substitute for the pending motion
that the Committee on Credentials be in
structed to make its report. Mr.. Garfield ant
Mr.. Conkling spoke to the question, and al
the conclusion Of their remarks the roll wal
called, resulting in the defeat of the substi
tute by ayes 3lS; noes, 406, leaving the mo
tion pending that the Committee on Rules bt
requested TO submit its report.

cut, In the interest Of harmony and peace
moved to temporarily table the pending res
olution, and the Convention so voted. Mr.
