| ton in tho next convention which was dis
cussed at great length by various mem bsrs
Logan argued that the resolution proposed
was not such as the committee had power to
act upon. He was willing to defer it to the
next national committee, for that was q
| body that had the right to consider it.
Clayton opposed the plan, and Magee
moved that the whole matter be referred to
the next national convention. Maeee's
motion was finally agreed to-yeas Is, nays

The plan was finally referred to the con.
of delegates and the size Of the next con.
vention remains as It was. Senator Logan
proposed resolution, making 1t mendato.
| ~ upon the districts to hold their csnyen.
tions separately and within the several dis
tricts. by the action of the committee at
the last meeting, it was left optional with
the districts either to hold their conventions
for the selection Of delegates separately, or
to separate at the State conventions and do
Southern members Of the committee object
ed to Senator Logan's resolutions to strike
out the optional feature, saying that in
many districts they had no Organizations
and could not hold separate meetings. It
being evident that the proposition could
not pass, Senator Logan withdrew it.
