lowing resolutions:
That the state executive committee, when or
ganlzed. be requested TO issue call for new con-
yenton under the new rules, to complete the state
ticket already nominated as shall be for the best
interest of the republican party OF the state.
He believed that unless something was done to-
wards patching up the grievances OF the indie
pcndents that the democrats would carry the
state, both on the legislative as well as the state
ticket he said that the charge that the nomina-
tons of this convention were dictated by one man
would have to be met He denied that IL was so.
but yet the independents made the charge, and IL
was beleved In many places He was in favor OF a
new convention out and out 1t was no sign OF
weakness on the part OF the convention TO en-
deayor to heal the breeches in the party. Samuel
Huey, of Philadelphia, spoke also In favor of this
resolution. He knew that In Philadelphia the air
was rife with the Independent spirit and the votes
were behind this spirit He was In favor of max
ing offers OF Cancellation to the Independents, and
they were refused then let the responsibility rest
where it belonged.

ment was founded. A body OF men met In Phila-
delphia, he said, without credentials and without
constituency, and nominated ticket in opposition
TO the republican party. He was against any
effort to Elacate these disappointed men. Dele
gates had come here to I'LL the vacancy on the
ticket and then go home, and he moved that the
resolution be laid on the table. Congressman
Fisher said that at one time he had thought that

Barker, OF Philadelphia, that II the delegates
were SO selected, and Beaver nominated, that he
lBarkerl would not vote for him. The majority of
the Independents, he asserted, were nothing but
disappointed persons. He was in favor OF COM
pietlng the present ticket. and he believed that the
ticket would sweep the state.
MI Gilkeson, OF Bucks, thought that the revolt
did not rest alone with the disappointed Office
section he found that the revolt was among the
business men OF the district and he found it wide
spread. He felt sure that a new convention would
re-nomlnate Gen. Beaver and Senator Davies.
Isaiah II. Brown,of Philadelphia, thought that II
new convention would renominate the same
Ticket there was no need OF the trouble and ex-
ciliat1ng deserters, and was very heartily APP
plauded for his sentiments.
VIM NJ Bum, OF Philadelphia, made a ten

vored some such plan as that suggested by chair
man Cooper the plan OF an appeal to the repub-
Gen. McCleary, OF Erie, then offered the follow

plete the ticket by the nomination OF a Congress-
man-atlarge, and that we recommend the repub-
ilcan state committee to adopt all honorable means

Another discussion followed on the substitute.
those who opposed the original resolutions making
repeated calls for the question when remarks in
favor Of the resolution were made. When dele
gate from Crawford arose and the calls for the
question drowned his voice, he raised IL and called
out that II efforts to compromise and harmonic
were chOked OF it would lose the state TO the
party, and in Crawford alone would cost the ticket
600 or 700 votes.
Several delegates-"Is that threat?"
The Crawford delegate replied that 1t was not a
threat That was the trouble with those who
sought to force their own views; that every warn
Ing, every honest sensible presentation OF truth
was regarded as a threat: As a republican he
he had helped make applause; but, at the same
time, he felt 1t to be his duty to lay before the
meeting what he felt convinced was the true feel
Ing among the people OF his own county.
Col Norris. OF Philadelphia, asked whether, on
account OF public camor the delegates were to be
asked to return and say that their work was unfit
to stand? 1t was all very we'll to say that there
was nothing personal in the objection TO the ticket
but 1t was against the methods by which it was
governor in this state, and had elected Lincoln and
Grant and Hayes and Garf1eld. IApplause.l
