The report also recommended the
adoption OF the following rules for the
guidance OF the conventions:
/. The parliamentary rules governing this
| convention shall be the rules governing the
House Of Representatives OF the United
;. Alfresolutions shall be referred without
debate TO a committee consisting of one dele
gate to be appointed by the chair from each
State, and one additional delegate from each
seaport city, 70 be named by the delegation.
Congressman Hammond's name was
received with applause and he acknowl-
edged his selection in a brief and neat
speech.
PHTLADELPHIA's INTEREST.
A lively debate followed upon the rule
| governing the manner Of voting.
The Philadelphia delegation instantly
perceived that the resolution, II adopted
as worded, would shut them out from a
voice in the body.
Mr.. Lawrence was on his feet in mo-
ment. He remarked that he did not know
whether the committee intended to shut
out his delegation or not. The gentlemen,
he stated, were deeply interested in the
! betterment Of the South Atlantic harb0rs,
though they themselves did not come
from a South Atlantic port. 1--WE have
taken the trouble to travel at least 700
miles to be with you to-day. Applause.l
The result of this resolution would be
that Pennsylvania would be debarred
from any vote in this convention. The
people of Philadelphia are not sensitive
on this point. We do not propose to go
to Congress and ask for an appropriation
as a South Atlantic port. A few days
ago | passed up the James river in Vir-
glnia. and the lighting OF that stream Is a
disgrace to the United States. Applause
from the Virginia delegation The city
Of Philadelphia desires to help you, and
the only way she can do it is by letting
them"
After some suggestions, the resolution
| was referred back to the committee. The
committee retired, and, after a lengthy
elaboration, reported the following sub
/ stitute:
The vote Of the convention shall be taken by
| delegations from each constituency repre-
| sented, the chairman of each delegation being
| required to announce the vote Of his deleGa-
ton. provided that only delegates present be
| allowed to vote; and in no case shall any city
or State be allowed a greater number OF votes
| than is gwen in the call for the convention.
| 5. That debate be limited to ten minutes to
| each speaker.
