The chairman overruled the motion.
At this point a delegate from Ne
braska moved to table the resolution,
whereupon Mr.. Jay withdrew his res
olution for the present.
Several Of the New Jersey delegates
moved that the convention proceed to
consider the report of the committee
on permanent organization. Adopted.
Mr.. Pierson, of New York, chair
man Of the committee, reported har-
monious and a unanimous agreement,
but the committee we're not prepared
to say whether the names Of the vice
president and secretary for Illinois
were Of members Of the convention or
not, for the reason that there was a
contest in that state.
Mr.. Pierson took the chair and put
the question of adoption OF the report,
and upon its adoption introduced the
permanent chairman Mr.. Hoar, who
was received with hearty applause.
Mr. Hoar said: Gentlemen of the
convention-YOu have manifested in
the choice you have made, disposi
tioD to wise economy in the matter
ofepening speeches. Laughter and
applause. One reason occurs to me
for the selection you have made, and
that is, having heard one speech from

applause.
The convention is now permanently
organized.
Mr.. Eyre moved that the committee
on rules be requested to report.
Mr.. Sharp IN. " stated that the
committee had prepared the majority
report, but that he had been directed
to prepare minority report from nine
states. He trusted he would be al
lowed to prepare that report, and he
had not yet had time. 1t was further.
more agreed by the committee that no
action should be taken until the views
of the minority were ready.
Mr., Frye asked Chairman Garfield
If this was correctly stated. General
Garfield, upon rising was warmly
applauded, but refused to take the
platform in answer to calls. He said
no vote was taken upon Gen. Sharp's
suggestion to delay action upon the
majority report until the minority
was ready; the committee would not
therefore report, but would await the
pleasure Of the convention, and obey
its instructions. Mr.. Frye then with.
drew his motion, and moved to ad-
journ until five o'clock.

A Kentucky preacher rose to speak,
and opened the bible. The first verse
that met his eye happened to be, "The
voice Of the turtle shall be heard in
the land" Brethren, said he. "at
first sight one would not think there
was much in this text, but.
on a little consideration, you
will see there's great deal
in it. Now, you all know what a
turtle is. lfyou've been along by a
pond, you have seen them sitting on a
log summing themselves. Now, it is
said, THE voice Of the turtle shall
be heard in the land. But the turtle
hasn't any voice that anybody ever
heard; so it must be the noise he
makes in plunging off the log into
the water. Hence we must conclude
that immersion is meant, and that
will become universal"
