The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-06-21

tne pleasure OF tnls convention 10 deprive
any delegate of a seat in this convention and
the number seated will DO seated by the
voice Of this committee before the perma-
nent organization Of this body, and while
would not institute any gag law in this con-
yention, would move that the motion Of the
gentleman that we receive the report OF the
committee on permanent organization be
laid on the table.
Mr.. p. Roche, Of Illinois-It was simply TO
facilitate the business of the convention.
This is no objection TO the committee on ere
dentials reporting first.
The Chair-The chair will state that the
two last Republican conventions saw III TO
receive and act upon the report Of the com
mittee on permanent organization with
out waiting for the report from the COM
mittec on credentials. II is, therefore, with
in the power Of the convention 10 take what
ever course upon that subject 1t desires
The chair further will state that II Is in
formed by the committee on credentials that
the committee will be ready TO make its final
report at O'Clock this evening and not be-
fore.
Mr. Anderson, OF Iowa-It is obvious 10
this convention that we are not prepared TO
go 10 business, and nothing will be gained
by remaining In session unless gentlemen
are prepared to make nominating speeches.

In order. Now only want TO act In sym
pathy with all OF the convention in this
matter, and 1t seems to me that probably the
better way is TO take q recess until o'clock
this evening, when we will have the report
Of the committee on credentials organized In
due form, and then proceed regularly 10 the
business OF the convention. Therefore, for
the purpose Of bringing this question before
the convention move that we take recess
until ) o'clock this evening. tCries OF mo,

Mr.. Anderson---I will not press II then,
the convention is not in sympathy with the
motion.
The Chair--The gentleman from Iowa
withdraws his motion, do understand
Mr.. Anderson---I do not wish 10 press the
matter II the gentlemen are not In sympathy
with II, but / will not withdraw my motion
until hear from my friend from Pennsyl-
vania.
Mr. Bayne, OF Pennsylyania--The commit
tee on credentials Is not ready 10 report, as
announced by the chairman OF the convon-
ton. II has heretofore been the custom TO
effect permanent organization before the
committee on credentials shall report here.
There is no reason why we should not re-
ceiye this report before we perfect perma-
nent organization. [Cheers.l There is no
reason why we should not now proceed TO
effect a permanent organization under the
policy which has obtained In previous con.
vcntions. [Applause.l II the motion to
