Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-06-20


make it out OF order to make another
motion IN relation to the same matter.
Warner, OF Missouri: wish to make
request for my own convenience and for
the convenience OF the members OF the
committees; that the announcement be
made by the Chair as to the place and
time OF the meeting OF the various com
mittees, and then think, Mr.. Chairman,
We will be in good condition to adjourn
the Convention for to-day, and prepare
for the business for which we have come
here.
Davis, of Illinois will ask for the regu-
lar order, and for the reading Of my re-
solution.
Chair-Before proceed to comply with
the request Of the gentleman from Mis-
souri,, feel constrained to have the reso-
luton offered previously by the gentle
man from Illinois read. l will then
proceed with The other.
The Clerk read the resolution, which
was as follows Resoired; That the roll Of
States and Territories be called for the
presentation OF credentials, and for the
notice Of contests, and that all such
papers be referred without statement or
debate to the Committee ON Credentials.
Chairman-Dc hear second to the
resolution offered by the gentleman from
Illinois?
There were many cries responding in
affirmation.
Chairman-You have heard the reso-
luton. As many as favor lis adoption
will say aye. Contrary, no.
After the vote the Chairman declared
that the motion was lost, which resulted
in applause and cries OF mo-
Chairman-The Chair will put the
motion once again, and will ask that the
Convention vote upon it. The trouble is
that but very few gentlemen vote.
/ On motion Of Hiscock, the resolution
was read again.
i Sewall, Of New Jersey-It is entirely
without precedent that credentials should
be asked for in National Convention.
Gentlemen don't carry their credentials
in their pockets. 1t is proper, though,
that the roll OF States may be called for
| any contest, but not for credentials. /
move to amend the resolution so that it
shall read con contests"
Chairman-As understand it, simply
the list Of States is to be called; the
names Of delegations from the respective
States are not to be called or read. l un-
derstand that the resolution offered by
the gentleman from Illinois asks nothing
, more than what is suggested by the gem
tleman from New Jersey.
!. Davis-There is precedent for it in
: the Convention OF 1880.
Observation-Disclosures you have
heard the motion to the effect that the
roll Of States be called, for the purpose
, OF permitting the presentation OF creden-
tials and papers and contested cases. So
many as favor the resolution will say aye,
contrary no. After the vote the Chair
man declared the ayes carried, and it was
, SO ordered.
:, Chairman-The secretary will now
call the roll.
. The Secretary called the roll OF States,
i to which no response was made.
Chairman-The Chair understands that
the list of delegates as composed by the
National Committee will be taken with
out further warrant except where some
contested credentials are presented.
[Cries OF THAT is right."]
|, Chairman-1 am requested to announce
that the several committees will meet for
organization in the rooms provided in
this building as soon as possible after
the adjournment OF the Convention.
Duffield, Of Michigan-Mr. Chairman,
move that when the Convention adj
journ, it do adjourn until II O'Clock to-
morrow.
