cloth to the consumer. Third, free cotton

their idea of tariff reform. Gentlemen OF
the convention how do you like it!
"This contest that we enter upon Is for
the maintenance of protection and recip-
rocity. Applause Ana 1 want to say
here that there is not a line in our tarin
bill that is not American; there is not
passage that is not patriotic; there is not
page that does not represent true Ameri-
canism and the highest possibilities OF
American citizenship. Great applause.l
1--WE declare ourselves upon other ques-
tions here to-day. We are to declare our
selves upon the questions of free ballot
and fair count. Applause No plat
form should ever be made that does not re-
iterate that great constitutional guarantee.
No Republican speech should ever be made
that does not insist firmly and resolutely
that that great constitutional guaranty
shall be living birthright not cold for
mality Of constitutional enactment, but
living thing which the poorest and hum
blest NAV confidently enjoy and which the
richest and most powerful dare not deny.
Applause.
1--WE can well leave to the Committee on
Resolutions the duty of making platform
that shall represent the best thoughts and
the best ideas and the best wisdom OF the
Republican party. When we go out OF this
convention upon a true Republican plat
form, we go out marching TO victory, no
matter what name may carry the banner"
LGreat applause.

Committee on Rules and Order OF Busi-

Gen. H. II. Bingham, of Pennsylvania
"Mr. President: | am directed by your
Committee on Rules and Order OF Business
to submit as rules for the government Oh
the convention the rules OF the House OF
Representatives Of the Fifty-hrst Congress
and after its other details provides the fol-
lowing order of business: First, report OF
the Committee on Credentials; second, re-
port of the Committee on Permanent Or
ganization; third. report of the Committee
on Resolutions; fourth, naming OF members
of National Committee; fifth, presentation
of candidates for President; sixth, ballot
ing: seventh, presentation of candidate for
Vice President; eighth, balloting.
Your committee would report that the
rules are with two exceptions those OF the
National Conventions OF 1850 and 1854.
These rules were found to work smoothly,
and with On amendment adopting the
rules of the House of Representatives OF
the Flfty-first Congress and new rule In
serted proposing that motion TO table an
amendment shall carry with IL or prejudice
the pending measure. 1t is believed they
will be satisfactory to the convention.
Your committee deemed it proper TO recog-
pize specifically the rules OF the last
Republican House Of Representatives
(applausel under which action, progress
and results were made possible as against
the rules OF the present House, which per-
NIT indefinite libustering, obstruction and
non-action, except when report from the
Committee on Rules is presented; tyran-
nv hitherto unknown in American history.
The new rule proposed, by which an
amendment may be separated from the
pending measure and tabled, if such be the
wish Of the convention, without carrying
with it or prejudicing such measure, is the
present rules Of the United States
Senate and is in harmony with
advanced parliamentary practice.
Since the Fortv-eighth Congress
this has been O rule of the.sssSenate, and
as we have present with US to-day large
number Of Senators IN representative ca
pscity, should discussion be decided upon,
that proposition, which is wholly in the
wav of expedition Of business and of the
saving Of the delay OF roll call, l am
very sure they will endorse us.
Some little time was consumed in the
| explanation of the details to inquiring del
egates, after which the report was adopted
by acclamation.
