The appointment of these committees
closed the work of Monday.
The Tuesday morning session opened
with the reading of two patriotic and
very able letters from Milton Park and
eX-Gov. David H. Waite, both of which
letters deeply impressed the conven-
ton. These letters appear in another
column
Following the reading of these letters
came the report of the committee on
resolutions and platform, an address
which raised the convention to a pitch
of enthusiasm seldom seen in a political
gathering 1t bore the unmistakable
evidences of craftsmanship; no straddle,
no evasion, no ambiguity marred it's
structure; it's language was the pure
diction of scholar, and P. H. Rahilly,
of Minnesota, moved a vote of thanks
to the man or men whose brains had
produced such an able address to the
people of the United States. The adj
dress was adopted by unanimous vote,
Mr.. Rahilly.
Next came the report of the committee
on plan of organization, which was read
and adopted by the convention. In
many respects this report was the most
important and far-reaching of any work
of the convention. It's most important
feature is the future abolition of all
nominating conventions. All nomina.
tions for Office in future are to be made
by direct vote of the rank and file at
the party primaries At one stroke
States. bosses, politicians and wire-pull-
ing are abolished, together with proxies
and all the other abuses and evils Incl
dent to delegate conventions.
By this plan the party, in its own or
ganizatiOn, practices what it advocates
government in it's purest form. ant
members of the party proposing fusion
are automatically read out of the party
and deprived Of their power for harm
! Illinois and a few delegates from othel
states stood opposed to making nomina
tons, ard when the convention voted t.
