ing the journal, Nominations for perma-
uent chairman were in order and D. NJ.
Sabin, Of Minnesota, nominated by Elk1ns,
was elected by exclamation
Mr.. Sabin, On taking the chair, said:
While deeply sensible Of tbs distin-
guished courtesy you have conferred,
am doubtless as much surprised as the
country at large will be at the announce
ment of your choice, but being pressed by
all parties in the interest, they claim. of
peace and harmony. I accept what is
rather distastefal position. This time I
trust, however, the work of this committee
will be characterized by the eame unani-
nifty with which I have been elected,
and the next election of Repub-
lican president be by the same
unanimous vote of the whole country.
(Applause.l
Mr.. EIkins offered the following resolu-
ton, which was adopted by a rising vote.
Rssolued, That this committee deplores
the death of Marshall jewell, of Connecti-
cut, its chairman. He was disting uished
as an earnest, consistent and valued mem
ber of the Republican party from it's ori-
gin, and an active, generous and zeslous
participant in state and national contests,
and especially in the memorable presiden-
tial camp 'ign of 1880.
ResoLUed, That as governor, foreign
minister, or a cabinet officer of integrity,
his official life has added lustre to his
pure character and patriotic nature, and
made for him name of which the party
| and nation may we'll be proud to cherish
with honor and affection.
Resolued, That these resolutions be en-
| tered On the minutes of this committee and
published, and copy of the same signed
by the officers of the committee and for
| warded to the family of Mr.. Jewell.
A lnotio on fixing the time for holding the
next convention, as Tuesday, June 3, 1884,
| was agreed to.
Mr.. Frye, of Maine, then sub
| Lnitted his proposition for new
| basis of representation at the next conven-
| tion. Laid over for the present for the pur
| pose of hearing delegations in support of
claims of various sections for the national
| convention.
In support of the proposition Frye said
| it presented a subject which demanded an
honest and conscientious attention. Since
| the proposition was made he had received
a hundred Republican newspapers from
all over the north, with united expression
! and the demand was for reform in the
| convention. Doubtless the consideration
of the proposition will be postponed, yet
ne had daty to perform, and when any
! gentleman made proposition to change
the form Of tne convent ton every man who
was candidate for president, or who
had one. Immediately shifted at it. Itwa;
charged that he framed the proposition il
the interests of Blaine and IN opposition
to the Interests OF Arthur.
Was it not possible to conceive
that man might make a proposition
without selfish ends? When he made the
proposition candidate for the presidency
of the United States had never entered hii
head. He had no candidate for president
and so help him God he never again would
have candidate. His candidate for pres
ident was that tried and known Republi
can who by his experience commended
himself to the Republican party, that ht
would unite them throughout the breadth
of the land in bis favor. His candidat,
was man whose votes in congress, IF h
happened to be in congress- and who's
acts outside OF congress commended hin
to the business interests of the Unitet
States and compelled the bushes
interests to come with their strength
to the Republican party, AID save thi
country from what he believed would dis
organize or at least harm it greatly. ZAP
plause He had no other candidate HI
proposition was offered in the interests o
absolute Justice which the national com
mittee could not afford to deny. Fry
then quoted statistics TO show that the re
presentation from the southern state
which were anti-RepublicaD, and argue
his opposition was in the interests of ab
solute iusti g. He did not wish to be un
derstood as being antagonistic to TIE Re
publicans the southern states. He dit
believe there had been intimidation in tn
south, and if he had his way
would not have existed. While in cor
gress he put his soul into the task of mair
tanning the southern Republicans IN thei
rights from the south though he neYe
! tIuekled to the Bourbons. He had neve
melted down his words, he had called mu
der, murder, every where, and no ma
could charge him with forgetfulness
the rights of any one, Forbes briefly SUI
