Mr. Nixon protested that his objections
were not raised particularly against Alaska,
Int TO the whole system, which, If adopted,
gave about forty-two votes in the conVen-
ton to the territories, enough to control on
any close proposition.
II agree rather with the late Senator
Quay" he said "who believed in reducing
rather than increasing the votes of those
states that do little or nothing to aid the
party Let the reward for republican ma
iorities be increased representation and the
punishment for failure to assist reduced
representa- ton.
The speaker was vigorously applauded,
but the vote on the motion to allow Alaska
increased representation was p ayes to
noes, the southern and western states vot-
ing solidly for it.
The committee then adopted the rules of
the last convention and the Fifty-fourth
Congress the rules of the convention,
with these amendments:
Rule / to read: The convention shall
consist of a number of delegates from each
state equal to double the number of sena-
tors and representatives in Congress; six
delegates each from the territories of Ari-
iona, Indian, New Mexico, Alaska and Ok
lahoma, six from Porto Rico with two
votes six from the Philippines with two
votes, six from Hawaii and two from the
District Of Columbia
Rule relative to voting, and rules 10 and

Rule IL Is amenUeu SO as TO provide tnal
twenty days before the date set for the
national convention a complete list of dele
gates and alternates with notices of con-
tests must be filed with the national COM
mittee.
After the committee adjourned Mr. Nixon
said that he did not intend to bring the
matter before the convention. but he under
stood that the Quay proposition to reduce
the southern states representation might
come up. and If 1t did he would seek to
amend 1t so to also reduce the territorial
representa- ton.

History of Local Government.
DR.. Reyburn reviewed the history Of the
District and the reasons for giving to 1t its
present form of government Coming down
to the territorial form Of government he
continued:
This se-called territorial form of gov
eminent, in less than four years, by its
reckless expenditure for public improve
ments. piled upon our citizens an enormous
debt of nearly thirty millions of dollars
AS this debt was practically mortgage
on all the real estate In the District, to
avoid confiscation and ruin the property
owners of the District appealed to Con-
gress for help.
Instead of returning to the representa-
tive and republican form of government
under which our citizens had prospered
during the sixty-nine years of their pre-
vious history Congress passed, June 20,
1874, an act to establish a temporary form
of government for citizens of the District
of Columbia. This act established the
present form of government by three Com
missioners. clothed with absolute power
zens of the District of Columbia. This
government showed by it's title 1t was a
temporary form of government, and 1t was
stated at the time by its trainers that 1t
q
form of government for the citizens of the
District.
Our citizens were assured by the leading
statesmen in both houses of Congress that
permanent and more perfect form of
government would be established for them
as soon as the houses of Congress could
find time and opportunity to do so.
This promised permanent and more per-
feet form Of government, however, was
never given to the District, and the final
and complete deprivation of the civil rights
of our citizens was consummated by the
act of June IL, 1873.
Temporary Made Permanent.
This act struck out the word tempo
rary' from the previous act and established
formally in power the present autocratic
and unrepublican form of government.
1T should not be forgotten that this con-
dtion of affairs In known and appreci-
ated by the monarchlcal governments of
Europe. They deride and mock at pro-
LESSONS of Tepublicanism and point out
our Inconsistency in refusing TO the citi-
zens of our own capital all the rights Of
self-gOVernment.
DIR. Reyburn was not interrupted while
he presented his case to the subcommittee
but when he finished Senator HansbrGugh
a member of the Senate committee on the
District, said he thought the resolution had
no proper place in the platform of the re-
publican party, but that 1t should go to
the District committees of Congress.

mittee held long secret session. c. E. K.

Secretary Shaw's Remarks.

Our opponents law much stress upon
the fact that some American manufactures
are sold abroad cheaper than at home
Our friends sometimes deny this, and they
sometimes apologize for it, and few in
times past have Joined our opponents In
recommending a removal of the tariff from
all such articles 1t Is useless to deny
and in my judgment, unwise to apologize
and little short of foolishness to attempt
to remedy the assumed evil in the manner
proposed by the opposition.
"a non-partisan commission appointed
by Congress to investigate the subject,
with authority to compel the attendance
of witnesses, reported that four million
dollars worth of merchandise, the product
of American factories. is annually sold
abroad cheaper than in the domestic mar
ket The report shows that some OF these
articles are protected in this country by
patents, and are not so protected in the
foreign markets. If the supposed evil, as
applied to patented articles, is worthy OF
drastic remedial measures, the most FEAST
bic would be the repeal of patent laws

He proposes to devote the next four years
to active work along this line. While he
hoped to have the suffrage plank inserted
in the platform when he came here that
hope was far from being a conviction and
the only thing that disappoints him now is
the fact that apparently the principle for
