Maj. Mckinley, chairman of the committee
on resolutions, said tonight that it was too
early to indicate the points of the platform,
but intended to make an effort to have rea-
sonable tariff plank inserted in the resoiu-
tions and would probably be successful.
The leaders of the Edmunds movement
held consultation in the rooms of Geo. VIM.
Curtis tonight, and in view that they held the
balance of the power decided to keep up the
fight until a sufficient number of votes came
their way to decide the contest in their favor
or else give strength to some one of their
liking. Some of the men afterwards held q
consultation with tie Arthur people, and the
board between the two appears bending
enough to allow them to join hands as against
the Blaine people.
The Wisconsin people held a consultation.
The name of Gen. Sherman was considered
as one which they might at the proper time
spring on the convention.
The committee on credentials had only
considered the contested Alabama case up to
midnight, and appeared to be in for a full
nights session. Some of the hopeful dele
gates believe that balloting for President will
be reached by tomorrow evening.

riers, and bill giving pension OF $50 a
month to the widow of Gen. Judson Kilpat-
rick.
BY half past two the proceedings had lost
all interest for candidates and for most of the
fellow senators. The clerk read on. 1.-The
occupant of the chair repeated his formula. "
Shall the bill pass? Those in favor say aye
those opposed say no. "NO response" Ayes
have it and the bill was passed.
Bulletins were received from Chicago
about the temporary chairman and were ap-
parently scanned with more interest by those
who were not candidates than those who
were.
By half past three the end of the calendar
was reached. All the candidates eqcept Mr..
Hawley, who was in the chair, had taken
leave.
One hundred and eighteen bills have been
taken up. 81 passed, one or two postponed
the remainder set aside temporarily under
objection.
Senator Hale in an exhausted tone moved
that the Senate adjourn.

and put on their hats. The chair put the
question, to which nobody replied, and de-
clareC lat the Senate stood adjourned until
next Friday.

Clayton's selection Intended to Have u
Political Meaning.

When Powell Clayton was selected by the
national committee for temporary chairman
some members of the committee voted for
him on personal ground that he had long been
connected with the committee as representa-
tive from Arkansas and without knowing
that the action involved any political mean,
ing whatever, otherwise the contest that en-
sued would have been avoided in the selec-
tion of some other member. Those respon-
sible for bringing Clayton forward had not
calculated on the convention overruling the
action of the committee as their precedents
were all for approving such nominations. The
Daily Kennebec journal., 1884-06-04

was in session until late hour this evening.
After electing Geo. B. Williams of Indiana
chairman, the committee proceeded to the
election of q permanent chairman and secre-
retary of the convention.

was put in nomination by friends Of Blaine
and j. G. Henderson of No., by the oppo.
sition.

mously elected secretary.
