Thyself, q man after Thine own heart.
Bless Thou our country, our fair heri-
tage, founded and preserved and conse-
Grated as it has been by the toll and by
the blood of patriots. May right
eousness dwell within its bor-
der aud intelligence and a
studied and ordered liberty and
safe and happy homes, and the univer-
sal recognition ot the rights Of citizen
ship which our constitution has put into
into the hands OF free men exist, for
such great and holy ends. We pray
Thee bless especially the deliberations,
utterances, choices of these, Thy SER
wants. All of which we ask in the name
and for the sake of Him who has taught
US TO say Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, on earth
as 1t is in heaven; give us
this day our daily bread,
and forgive US our debts as we forgive
our debtors and lead US not into tempta-
tion, but deliver US from evil, for Thine
is the kingdom and the power and the
glory forever. Amen.

adoption Of the majority report.
The motion prevailed unanimously,
and the report was adopted. The re-
suit was received with loud applause,
and it was indicative of an early ballot
for the Presidency. On motion OF dele
gate from Oregon, the question of seats
being allowed to the delegates from
Alaska and the Indian Territory, was
taken up, and on motion Of Powell
Clayton, OF Arkansas, the two delegates
from each territory were admitted and
given votes.
Mr.. Michigan desires unan-
imous consent TO withdraw for a confer
ence of fifteen minutes" After some
discussion, the request was granted
amid a flutter of excitement, as it was
understood that the question OF the
withdrawal Of Gen. Alger's name from
the list of candidates was the matter TO
be considered.
Mr.. Duffield-"We desire that the
convention should wait.
The Chairman-"It is the desire OF
the delegation from Michigan that pre-
sentation speeches should not be made
for fifteen minutes, giving them that
time for conference.
The Chair ordered the recalling OF the
roll for the correction Of the list OF Ma
tional Committeeman. Some further
discussion with reference to the con-
tested delegates in the Alabama delega-
tion followed, but nothing OF import
ance resulted.

audience broke into cheers as Mrs. j.
