Resolved, that this committee views with

The committee at IL o'clock adjourned te
meet at the Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago.
the 31st of May, 1854.
Mr.. Frye of Maine then submitted hi.
proposition for the new basis of representa-
ton in the next convention which was dis
cussed at great length by various mem oers.
Logan argued that the resolution proposed
was not such as the committee had power tt
act upon. He was willing to defer it to thu
next national committee, for that was
body that had the right to consider it
moved that the whole matter be referred tc
the next national convention. Magee'
motion was finally agreed to-yeas Is, nay
IS.
The plan was finally referred to the con
vention by decisive vote, SO that the ratio
of delegates and the size of the next con.
vention remains as it was. Senator LogaI
proposed q resolution, making it msndato
~ upon the districts to hold their conven
tons separately and within the several dis
tricts. BY the action of the Ommittee q
the last meeting, it was left optional will
the districts either to hold their convention
for the selection of delegates separately, o
to separate at the State conventions and d
their business at the same place. al
Southern members of the committee object
ed to Senator Logan's resolutions to strik
out the optional feature, saying that il
many districts they had no organization
and could not hold separate meetings. I
being evident that the proposition coult
not pass, Senator Logan withdrew it.
Washington Special:-The election Of
Senator Sabin rs chairman gives universe
satisfaction, owing to the confidence tel
by all in his personal fairness and his bust
ness-like politics. He said that the homo
was unexpected and unst ught. He had de
elm d, thinking it wiser to take some olde
member; but his colleagues be ieve other
wise and he had yielded when it wa
known that he was the unanimous choice
had no candidate, as yet, for 1884. He wa
not insensible to the compliment t
himself and to Minnesota, and shoul,
do all in his power to accomplish
the most good for his party, with pertec
fairness to all aspirants tor the presidential
honor. Mr.. Sabin is one of the younges
men in the senate, being but forty years Q
age. and is, Ia adaition one Of the nev
members OF that body, but is already con
si6ered one Of its most promising men. n

vention since he went TO Minnesota, name
