Trans Mississippi Congress.
r. s. w.

SAN FRAkcIsco. Feb, t5,-This morn
ing's session of the Trans Mississippi
Congress was not quiet one. The
Committee on Resolutions was to
have made general report, bnt in
stead of doing 80, it presented the
following resolution.
WHEREAS, This convention is repres =.
entation of all the political parties
and the discussion purely partisan
subjects would tend TO weaken It's
unity and the influence of it's action
with out servil g any useful purpose;
therefore be it
"ResolUed, That it is the sense of this
congress that it is inexpedient that
formal action be taken by the body
upon any purely partisan question"
The introduction of this reso
luton caused U division in the con-
vention. A number of members stat.
ed that If the congress decided any
question which effected their polite
al party they would not abide by the
decision. Others expressed opposite
views, and after running debate OF
an hour or two the resolution was
laid ON the table.
