CHARLES DOUGLASS, L. N. KELLOGG, JOHN FARREL,
Vice Presidents


JOHN H. Evans, CHARLES SEARS, and MosEs JOHNSON

with closed doors and, That an evening meeting
be held, which shall be public That Mr. VIM H. Attree
be the reporter for the Convention That the rules Of
the Convention be the same as the rules OF the House of
Representatives.


The appointment of Mr. Atree as reporter of the Con-
vention seeming to convey the idea that others
be excluded one ofhe reporters asked such the
intent OF the committee 2


Mr. RYcKMAN replied that it was That Mr. Attree
would make the report for the Convention and that
when the Convention adjourned his notes would be SUBJ
ject to their examination.


MIR. ArrREE remarked that he hoped the Convention
would not exclude other reporters That he there
and that the rule which excluded other reporters
would also exclude him; that Mr.. Greeley had sent
him there, and to him he considered himself alone
accountable He hoped other reporters would not be
excluded


This remonstTance of Mr.. Attree called up Mr.
Evans in explanation. He stated that while the
committee were in deberaon upon the rules for the
government OF the convention, Mr. Greeley (who had
not been in the meeting beore met with them and sig
exclusive reporter Of the Convention and that when
reports were published slips would be from the T
other dscussonhe question put to the Convention
whether all reporters excepting Mr.. Attree should be
excluded which was decided IN the affirmative by vote
oil nve 20 tnreethe afternoon OF the Convention
exhibiting ten members


our reporter accordingly took his hat and notes and
made his exit as quick possible not wishing
word.


This is entirely new movement in the annals of the
city press Heretofore when have with
closed DOORS all reporters Of newspapers have been
Guided, and the convention chose reporter il was
one who would report exclusively for them and not
the same time furnish report for paper. But it ap-
pears that our neghbor of the Tribune has commenced
this new system BY desiring the convention to allow his
reporter to sit with them to the exclusion OF all others
and thereby establish monopoly, Of which the Tribune
should have the exclusive benefit But really is
laughable matter to Insignificant number OF men,
met together gravey to discuss plans for the regenera
ton OF the world, whose wild fantasies would never
reach farther than the walls which astonshed by
their utterance were not that the press their
sld ana Circulated the result of their deliberation from
Naine TO Louisiana, in every town and hamlet 10 the
country 1T really iaughable to them exclude from
their deliberations those who alone can make them
known TO any extent


We are happy, however, to be able to inform read
ers mat they have lost but lttle very te by this mar
row.mnded proceeding SO goodbye to the Industrial
Congress.
