THE RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE.
One from Each State Repre-
sented-yice PRESIDENT.

Some of the delegates thought the con-
vention would adjourn at the conclusion
of Mr.. Patterson's speech. but the desire
to speedily transact the routine work Of
the gathering prevailed. The chairman an
nounced that the first order OF business was
the selection of a committee on resolutions,
one from each State, and a like number
of vice presidents. A recess of ten minutes
was taken in order 20 give the delegates
an opportunity TO confer and make their Sc
lections. AT the expiration of the recess the
chairman requested that each delegation
put it selections in writing and hand the
names TO the secretary. 1t was suggested
that the delegates be seated by States in
order that they might more easily consult.
Mr.. Madgeburg, of Milwaukee, and Mr..
Brush, of Indianapolis, suggested that the
sergeant-at-arms could reseat the delegates
by States for the morning session. Mr..
Irish thought If the janitor of the building
would make a search he could find some
state standards used at a recent famous
convention in the hall.

lucky there was applause.
Mr.. Martindale suggested that the vice
presidents take seats on the platform, but
the suggestion was not needed. the vice
presidents seeming to prefer their seats on
the floor.
The chair called attention to the fact that
California had not submitted a name for
vice president. Mr.. Irish. the only dele
gate from that State. raised a laugh by
remarking that the California delegation
was now i'm consultation.
Mr.. Smalley-I desire to remind the con-
vention that at the evening session il will
be in order for all delegates having reso-
buttons or plans of currency reform TO pre-
sent them for reference to the committee
on resolutions. and that each delegate max
ing such n presentation will have five min
uteS' time in which to address the conven-
ton. 1t is very important in expediting the
work of the committee that this material
should be in the hands OF the committee
this evening.
Upon motion Of c. II. Williamson, of
Quincy. ILL.,. j. III. Walker. of Massachu-
setts, was invited TO address the conven-
ton.
