mously' adopted. Mr.. Hoar was then con-

mittee on Rules and Order of Business be
requested to submit its report. Mr.. Sharpe.
of New York, objected anc stated that he had
been instructed 10 prepare minority report
a 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
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 1T 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
of the minority for an opportunity to present
their views. He thought, however, that eour-
tesy and good faith required that the oppor-
tunity desired by the minority should begiven
them. At this point Mr.. Frye withdrew his
motion and moved that the Co0ven-
ton take q recess until FIVE o'clock.
Mr.. Conkling congratulated the Maine del
cpatiCn upon the happy deliverance from all
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. MIR.
Frye returned thanks to the gentleman from
New York for his kindly congratulations.
The motion for q recess prevailed, and the
Convention stood adjourned until five
o'clock.
