President, | do not recognize vote
en- masse in this way. therefore call for
the roll OF the States on the question OF

10 o'clock. In support OF that motion, l
desire TO say what Is well known to every
Democrat here, that the committee on
resolutions will not report this afternoon.
We will have to be here tomorrow morn
ing anyhow, and the time between now
and then may be profitably used for the
harmony and success OF the Democratic
party and will result In forwarding our
business, and in closing the proceedings Of
this convention by adopting this motion.
II II were practicable for US TO get through
this afternoon, and adjourn and go home,
| would not make this motion; but II has
already been announced that we are 10

principles, and therefore, | ask that the
balance OF the business of the convention
be deferred until tomorrow morning also.

slider the fact whether ii would be acting
