resolutions, that every word may be weighed by
that committee, assisted by the gentlemen who
have been sent to represent Mr.. Parnell /. for
one, object most decidedly TO matter of this kind
being sent under the apparent sanction of the
convention. and ask for ruling from the Chair. y

der
gentleman from Wisconsin moved to sus-
pend the rules.
Mr.. Cannon, of Iowa, maintained that the
gentleman from Wisconsin should have made his
objection when the rules were before the conven-
ton to-day The chairman announced that the
gentleman from ireland informed him it was
now about o'clock IN the morning in London,
and as the committee on resolutions would re-
port in the morning, nothing was to be gained by
telegraphing now.
"They are joking you,' cried a delegate, at
which there was great. laughter and cheers.
Murphy, of New York, strove for recognition,
a1d there were cries Of Murphy, murphy"
Murphy nothing, or any other man, said the
chairman, until the gentleman has finished"

arose and withdrew his resolution, saying he
had no idea his motion would create any such

should be retained as permanent presiding Off

Mr. Egan was offered the aid Of every man
present if he would consent to serve again as
president of the League He thanked them
very much, but positively declined He re-
marked that his friend John Fitzgerald, of

will tell you what Salisbury is waiting for. He
has his eye this convention. and is waiting to
see whether my sons supporters are to be
avowed physicai-force men, in order that, in such
hypothesis, he may be furnished with an
excuse to bring the Irish people once more
under the rod of coercion. He has attacked nv
son before, you know, for being in league with
dynamiters. If these men are put into Office at
this convention, it will give his assaxaions

land has got many reasons to be dissatisfied
with the way in which things are being managed,
both in England and Ireland The. people are
they being told by the able opponents
of the Irish National creed This will bear good
fruit if it is not npped in the bud by revengeful
antagonism instead of conclusion and peace"
