consideration.
The session of the convention on the sec
ond day was not marked by any special
feature other than the debate on the ap-

mittee that removes the obligation FOL
exertion from the shoulders OF any indi
vidual delegate. all the work called fol

a proposition reaches that point. There is
a soreness caused by the action of certain
newspapers which have combated the
