The report was then adopted and the
list ~ printed above is therefore but
partial list of the standing committees
IF the convention and tho committee
was given further time. MIR Dyer pre-
scnted the report of the committee on
the official report OF the proceedings OF
.he convention.
The committee recommended that the
proposition of Messrs. 4. &. Bowman
and G. Il. Eaton be made in the shape of
a full report at the usual rates and trust
to the legislature for their pay, upon
their being appointed official reporters
by the convention.
This proposition called for consider
alton and discussion by Mcssrs. Dyer,
Convey, Minor, Dunbar, Lindsey and
others, in which it appeared that the
convention had no funds from which to
pay for such service, and no authority
To bind the legislature to any sort of
contract. Hence the gentlemen take
their own risk of being paid, and, being
satisfied OF their integrity and compc-
tcncy, the committee recommended that
their proposition he accepted.
The point was raised aS to who would
be the owner of this record when il
should he made UP and it was stated
that the state would own it after it had
paid for IT, The report of the committee
was finally adopted and the proposition
ni the two reports accepted by II rising
'otc, the figures of which were
not announced. On motion OF
wa ordered to furnish them during the
session. Mr.. Convey submitted reSolu-
tion directing the committee on rules
and orders to inquire and report upon
the necessity OF clerks for standing com
miltecs; lost. Mr.. Power offered u reso-
luton directing the president to appoint
members of the standing committees,
and upon the suggestion of Mr.. Stiles
the resolution was amended by adding
clause providing that the member first
named should be chairman. Mr.. Sui.
livan of ColfaN moved that the conven.
tion appoint the chairman of the various
committees, and that the president ap-
point the remaining members. Not
seconded. Mr.. GlnsCock moved that
the whole matter lie on the table. Lost.
Mr. Griiiitts moved to strike out the
amendment referring TO the chairmen
and leave each committee to select its
own chairman. After debate by
Mcssrs. Dyer, Stiles, Gritiitts, Power
Cosgroye and Lothers, the motion was
lost, The original resolution was
adopted, namely, that the president APP
point the committees, the member first
named TO be chairman.
Mr.. kinnoar moved that the rules of
the last house ofrepresentative, so far as
applicable, should govern the conven-
ton until the adoption of the rules but
this was opposed by Messrs. Henry,
Comegys, Sullivan and Griiiitts and
failed OF adoption.
Mr.. Buchanan offered q resolution de-
claring that the report of the proceed.
ings of the convention, when paid for by
the state, should I've solely the property
of the state. There seemed to be, how
ever. disposition to leave this whole
matter 10 the legislature, which should
he asked to pay for il, and so the resolu-
tion was voted down.
On motion of Judge Turner (by vote
of ayes 80, noes 22), the convention de-
cidod in favor of another page. Mr..
Dyer nominated Lewis Lee Of Olympia
and Mr.. Manly nominated John i. Car
sion, it was finally ordered that the cec- |
ton he made by roll cnll--the first time |
thus far in the proceedings OF the con |
vcution--Gnd 1t was had, resulting in !
Carrprc getting 30 votes and Lee 3S. |
Carrcre was accordingly elected
Mr., Power moved that Lee be selected |
as third page by acclamation. Mr. |
Bower Thought If third page was
needed, the convention should allow the |
president 10 appoint one. Mr.. Dunbar
thought all this matter OF extra Officers |
being in the hands of the committee on |
rules and orders, the convention had |
better leave IL there and not make any |
