Henderson was glad, particularly glad to hear

move on IN its work, was not permitted to do
so, because upon the explanation that the mi
norlty desired an opportunity to make report,
MIR. Frye, of Maine, Withdrew his motion to
give them time. Now, MIR. Chairman, the ma

Why the delay? (Applause.) But the gentle
man sees an objection to the ninth rule. am
Informed that the ninth rule is almost, in fact
verbally, the same as the one adopted by the
last national convention and in substance the
same as adopted by the convention last before
that. Have we became so changrd in our ideas

Grant and afterwaFd Hayes. Mr. Chairman,
under these circumstances l insist upon my
motion that we shall proceed to consideration
Of the business that is to come before us.
