The National Committee.

The national committee in it's new
makeup met at 2:30 o'clock Sunday
morning and again at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon with the avowed intention
on behalf of the supporters of Tag
gart, of Indiana, of organizing by
electing him chairman.
The early morning meeting was not
fully attended, and the object aimed
at was not accomplished 1t was
pointed out by Norman E. Mack, of
New York, that it would be discourte-
out to take any action until Mr.. Park
er as the candidate, was consulted.
The Taggart men, while not having
enough to elect, still suggested that
David B. Hill, William F. Sheehan
and August Belmont, the candidates
friends, were still here, and adopted
resolution that they be invited to
meet the committee in the afternoon.
AT the afternoon session Chairman
Jones, of the old committee, asserted
that the contemplated action would
be unprecedented. and, in fact, illegal.
1t was also stated that at late hour
the convention adopted resolution
authorizing Mr.. Jones to call the new
committee together in New York City
at such time as he might suggest.
Senator Hill and Mr.. Sheehan left
| for New York at noon and could not
attend the meeting.
Mr.. Jones made this statement:
THE national convention, by spe-
cific resolution adopted last night,
authorized me, in fact instruct
ed me, to call the first meeting of the
new committee in New York City.
| Until call it, the new committee can
not organize and meetings they have
are unauthorized. Now, let me say
forcibly, if need be, that acting under
the conventions authority, 1 call the
national committee to meet in New
York City at such time as Judge
Parker shall designate, for before l
call it | shall consult him. 1t would
be an unprecedented thing for the
new committee to organize without
consultation, with the candidate. Such
a thing was never heard Of"
Just after the afternoon session be-
gan Mr.. Taggart, who was presiding,
was asked to retire, so that he need
not be embarrassed. August Belmont.
of New York, was called into the room
and asked to give Judge Parker's
views. He said he could not do so.
Col Guffey, of Pennsylvania, insisted
that precedent demanded that the
committee courteously await Judge
Parker's opinion. "In fact" he said.
"the resolution of last night precluded
any action until Chairman Jones is
sued a call for New York"
After nearly two hours debate
Senator Bailey offered to compromise
If the committee would adopt reso-
luton endorsing the candidacy OF
Thomas Taggart for chairman of the
committee. Mr.. Mack agreed to this
and the resolution was adopted The
committee will therefore meet in New
York on the call of Chairman Jones.

o'clock, nn hour lator took Iecess
until p m. and adjourned at 6:20
until 10 o'clock to-day. During the
day several speeches were made,
chief of which was William Jennings
Bryan's effort to overthrow the report
of the credentials committee and seat
contesting delegates from illinois,
The controversy was ended by the re-
lection of the minority report of the
committee by vote of CAT nays to
299 nays.
Though Mr. Bryan's speech and his
appearance on the floor of the con-
vention was cheered far beyond any
previous demonstration, 1t made few
votes. The alignment of delegates
proved the correctness of previous
estimates of the division between
those who favor the radicals and
those who are supporting the conserv-
ative element which is now in control.
