the committee on resolutions not being
ready TO report,
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May 29.-When
the convention met at ten O'Clock thi.
morning it was still unable to make
progress. The Committee on Platform
was unable to report. Outside gossip
was that the committee was hopelessly
divided. Maynard (of Mch.) moved
that the order of business be sus-
pended and the convention pro cced
TO nominations. Chairman Wea veT
ruled tho ProPosition out NJ Lusi
ness was done at this mornings
session, the time being occupied with
commonplace speeches.
Shortly after noon, the committee re-
ported that they could not come in until |
three O'Clock owing TO points Of differ
ence as TO the tariff plank, and the
phraseoiogy Of some other paragraphs. |
The wrangle over the tariff is so bitter
that a delegate proposed that the COM
mittee be relieved from expressing an
opinion on the question. The motion
was ruled out. There is strong talk Of
bolt against Butler, but Crandall says his
faction will stand by the gang Tho
convention adjourned until three o'clock.
