TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.

mated for temporary chairman Charles
E. Smith, Of Albany. The nomination
was received with applause and made
unanimous.
As Mr.. Smith was conducted to the
chair he was received with great applause
His allusfon in his speech 10 Grant al
Appomatox Court House was received
with great applause, as a handsome ban
ner with Grants portrait was unfurled In
front OF the stage. Other. points in his
speech were also enthusiastically ap'
plauded.
Temporary Secretaries were then ap.
pointed.
Gen. N. NJ. Curtis offered the following:
ReSolrcd, That the delegates OF the several
Congressional districts be requested TO re-
port to this convention the name OF two
delegates, selected by them to represent
such districts in tie National Republican
Convention to be held in Chicago, June
2nd, 1880, in accordance with the call for
such convention, and according to the
usage heretofore practiced in the Republi.
can conventions in this State.
Gen. Arthur offered the following as a
substitute:
Resolred, That delegates from each Con.
gressional district be requested to report
for the action Of the convention the names
Of two delegates and two alernates to the
National Convention, and that COM
mittee OF one from each judicial district be
appointed by the chair 10 report for action
OF the convention the names OF four
delegates at large and four alternates to the
National Convention.
NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.
Mr.. Foster said he would like to under
stand the difference between the substi.
tute and the original resolution. If he
rightly understood IT, the substitute is that
the action by the district delegations is
not, to majority Of the Convention, sat
isfactory. Their power OF selecting their
own delegates can be taken from them. II
that is not the purpose he would like TO
have the gentleman disown II. He be.
lieved that each district has q right to
name its own delegates. My district oi
West Chester has selected unanimously
WIN. Fl. Robertson and James W. Husted
TO represent US at Chicago.
BLAINE TIE MAN.
We believe you mean what you say that
we should have Presidential candidate
before whom rebellion dare not raise its
horrid head. We believe James G. Blaine
is such man. [Great and continued ap.
plause.
Fl. R. Pierson said we need not go out
OF New York to find q nominee. Long
continued applause. We can find one in
Ohio [applausel, but amongall these peers
there Is name / hold above all others.
Applause and mingled cries Of "Conk-
iingh and "Blaine'l. mean that name
which stands as
THR GOD OF DATTLEs,
Ulysses S. Grant. [Great applause.l
Mr.. Foster moved to amend. the substi-
ture Of Mr.. Arthur by striking out the
words "for action Of the convention"
General Curtis said he would withdraw
his resolution II General Arthur would
withdraw the words quoted.
Mr.. Arthur said he would not withdraw
the words. It would be absurd to pre-
sent report OF nominations the Con-
vention without giving 1t the right to act
on them.
The chair stated that the motion was on
the amendment to Mr.. Arthur's substi.
tute. Mr.. Foster called for the yeas and
nays. The chair said as there had been
no rules adopted It would be impossible
to call the yeas and nays. Mr.. Foster ap.
pealed from the decision Of the chair, and
the appeal was laid on the table. Mr..
Woodfn said 1t made no difference how
names were presented TO the Convention,
they must be acted upon by this Conven-
ton aud this Convention must give the
delegates their credentials. 'Itsthe COM
mittee hampers with the names reported
by districts It will be time to act. General
Arthur said the committee had nothing
to do with delegates, the Convention
must act. Mr.. Foster, under these ex-
plantations, Withdrew his amendment.
General Curtis: II the committee Is

gates withdraw my resolution. General
Arthur's substitute was then adopted.

in the electoral ticket and that com.
mittee, to be appointed by the chair, for
the purpose Of reporting the names Of
delegates at large 10 the National Con.
yention, do also report the names Of two
electors at large. Adopted.
