INDIANAPOLIS. IND, May 1.-The
national Grecnback convention reas-
sembled at 10 o'clock, Gen. Weaver
presiding. The committee on rsolu-
lions was not vet ready to report and
the entire forenoon session was taken
up with brief addresses from number
OF members.
The platform committee sent word
to the presiding officer that they
would not he ready 10 report
before half past two or three o'clock,
aud quarter before twelve the conven-
ton adjourned till O'clock. IL is un-
derstood that the committee ON fes-
olutlons are at loggerheads over the
tariff plank, and good deal of excite
ment IL expected in the convention.
TO prevent much time being con-
sumed, speeches have been limited 10
tivo minutes, no delegate TO speak
twice until all have spoken,
A committee was appointed TO wait
on Hon, George w. Julian and invite
him TO address the convention.
There Is some talk OF a bolt over
Buffers nomination, but IL Is not
likely to amount TO much. Crandall
says he doesn't like Butler, but II the
convention can afford 10 commit the
party To such a blundcr, he can and
will stand by II.
The convention reassembled pursu-
ant To adjournment.
