The chair, Senator Hoar-Gentlemen Of the
convention: You have manifested, in the
choice you have made for presiding officer, a
disposition to a wise economy in the matter of
opening speeches. Uaughter) One good rea-
son occurs to me for the selection that you
have made, and that is that, having heard one
speech from me, for reasons entirely satisfac-
tory to each delegate, you have no inclination
to hear another opening speech. daughter J
Inc convention Is now permanently organized.
RULES AND ORDER OF BUSINESS.
Mr.. Frye, of Maine-I understand that the
committee on rules and order of business have
completed their labors and are ready to report
l move that they be requested now to make
their report.
The Chair-It is moved by Mr.. Frye of
Maine, that the committee on rules and order
of business be requested now to make their
report. Is the convention ready for the ques-
tiOu?
Two delegates arose, and the chair said the
gentleman fir New York is farthest from the
. slair-Gen. Sharpe, of New York.
General Sharpe-The committee on rules and
order of business spent three hours last even
ing. They labored heartily to produce re-
suit which should tend to harmonize this con-
ventlon. They adjourned to meet this morn
ing at o'clock and the last vote was taken ten
minutes before the time fixed for the assemb-
ling of this convention. AS the result, was
instructed by the delegates from nine States
to prepare minority report, and having come
directly from the place of our assemblage
here, and learning that the committee on con-
tested seats was not yet ready to report, pre-
sumed that would have an opportunity of
preparing that report which am instructed to
make. Further than that, and before the COM
mittee adjourned, the question came up,
IL
Garfield should be instructed to report, and
after a harmonious discussion of it, it was
concluded that the report was
not to be made until after the committee on
contested seats had made their report and the
resnlt ascertained. l am therefore not pre-
pared to carry out the order of those who are
with me on the committee, and
hope that the motion of the gentleman on my
left Mr.. Fryer, which would throw some dis
OrGI int nm mi ton for kha
be withdrawn,
The Chair-Does the gentleman from Maine
press his motion.
Mr.. Frye-We desire to ask information of |
The chairman of the committee. OF course ifi |
was agreed in the committee that there should |
be report of the minority, should not then
press my motion. Mr.. President, if the chair
nan is present, l desire to know what the
agreement was, if any.
As Gen. Garfield rose in his seat, he was
greeted with loud and prolonged cheers ap-
clause and cries of platform. Steps upon
he seat"
Gen. Garfield: Mr.. President--The commit
ee on rules finished its business at about IL
'clock by adopting body of rules and order
# business. A resolution was then offered by one
member of the committee that it was the judg-
nent of the committee that the report ought
lot to be made until after the report of the
ommittee on credentials, and then Gen. Sharpe
equested that q minority of that committee
night have leave to offer their views as mi
ority, and no objection was made. No vote was
AIKEN on the latter topic. l did not, therefore,
nd shall not tender report of the committee
n rules. (Applause.) ] am, however, like
very other delegate, subject to the orders of
his convention, (applause,) and when they de-
ire the report and order it, suppose the COM
nittee are ready to make it. (Applause.) But
.ood faith requires this certainty, that if the
minority is not ready with its report, it ought
o have the time.
2 Mr.. Frye then withdrew his motion and
moved to adjourn un il 5 o'clock.
Mr.. Conkling: Mr.. President. As one men,
Der of the convention, 1 intend to vote for this
