shall nominate and report 8 standing commit
 tee of twenty-five, including themselves ir | this number, to correspond with other bod
 ! ies of Republicans or Independent voters who may be in sympathy with our views, and te represent the sentiments of this meeting al
 any general conference which may be 1 called.
 In speaking upon the resolutions Mr. Tyler l said the Republican party was corrupt and 1 dishonest on many of the leading issues of I the time. The platform favored civil service | reform, while the candidates were two Of the
 most violent opposers of civil service retorm' | Continuing Mr. Tyler said
 But thank God the Republican party didn't
 all meet at Chicago. The night of the nom- l nation began quiet protests against the nomination. The storm has been growing. We feel the edge of it here. We cannot say what we shall do. We mean to say pretty smphatically what we won't do. It is to be
 hoped that some providential wisdom may strike the Democratic party" MT. o. s. Morehouse seconded the resolus 1 tions, sssying that he thought it was timeeto
 harmonize and unite the scattering independ- ent votes.
 Lawyer Charles s. Hamilton thought there ought to be 8 positive phase to the matter and moved an amendment to the effect that if better candidate is nominated for the presidency we will vote for him irrespective
 of the party by whom he is nominated. General Russell Tss called upon He arose and said that he had not spoken in political meetings for forty years. He remarked that it was most imprudent step to try to read
 out of the party those who are independents He said he was a bolter, and that bolting was the very safety of the Union. The po-
 litical caucus system is despotism tempered only by bolting. He noticed that they called Blaine plumed knight. What that was be did not quite understand At any rate'it it was term that might stand for something that had feathers. Beyond that they said nothing. He also noticed that they called Blaine magnetic man. Magnetism Is some thing that we can't account for. It some times repels and sometimes attracts. mag netic man will take you one way as far as he will another. If they said he was an honest man it would be something to the purpose. Out of twenty-two Senators who went to the convention and knew his record more thor oughly than we can, only one was a friend to Blaine's nomination.
 c. $. Bushnell recognized an element Of corruption in the party in 1872 and bolted. Some man near the door proposed three cheers for the head of the ticket. The ! crowd hissed.
