convention
sue the same which done at those periods,
because he thought If they adopted the rules for
their order and government this occasion, they would
greatly facilitate their abors But until the proper Pc
riod arrived to offer the resolution he would nomi-
nate Nm. F. Richie, of Thos Richie, the Editor
OF the Richmond Enquiries, Secretary of the Conven
ton.


The motion unanimously agreed to- amid loud de-
monstratIons OF applause aud satisfaction.


Mr. saunders then offered the following resolution:


heSotoe6, hat the rules and regulations adopted
by the National Convention of May 1892 and adopted
by the National Convention of May 1885, be the rules
and regulations for the government Of this Convention


ne Hon. Cave Johnson thought they ought before act
ing upon this resolution, delegations in
attendance and who entitled and qualified to vote
After those facts should have been ascertaned then he
oo nor know that he would oppose the adoption OF the
resolution of the Hon. gentleman. Mr.. ]. then moved
ina. COMMITTEES be appointed examine the credentials
OF delegates, with view ascertain who are entitled
TO seats and were qualified to vote.


ne Charman said there was already motion pending.


MI Cllford,of Maine. expressed his surprise at the
motion OF the gentleman from N. G. (Mr Saunders) at
this stage of the proceedings, when they had not
tanned whether the several States fairly represent
ed IN this Convention He thought, on consideration
his friend from ~ c. would think it but act of cour
tesy, would deem it due TO himself and the great
casIon which called them together Withdraw his pro-
position, at least, for the present.


The Hon. Mr. Saunders certainly thought himselfin-
debted to the gentleman from Maine for the very
'eons remarks he had thought proper to make with
pect to him.


Now, he (Mr. 81 would not have complained had he
not said that this was extraordinary and novel motion
He Mr Sa0nde:s) however, denied that it was because
1t precisely the resolution which was submitted to
the Democratic Convention in 1892 and 1885, and acted
upon. 1t did not at all conflict with the resolution of
the gentleman from Tennessee, of like character
was adopted and committee also appointed to ex-
anime the credentials fdeegates. &c. the periods he
had referred to but while that investigation was going
on committee was appointed and did report set Of
rules Mr. s. went to urgehe adoption Of the course
ne had recommended as being the best that could be
adopted.


The Hon. Mr. Walker said with a view to obvate all
he wou read
doPted in the Convention in 1892 There the resolution


readl He then said he would offer similar resolu-


ton on tins occasion, IT his friend from ~ Carolina would
withdraw his.


Mr. Saunders then said he would withdraw for the
present. zf


Mr.. Walker then read the resolution as follows:


ResOIOed, Thata committee of one from each State
report to this Convention the names of the Delegates
from such State


wasso modified as to direct committee to be appointed
by each State delegation and the resolution as thus
modified, was agreed to.


Mr. Jewetr, OF Maine, thenoered the following
luton


ResOlUed. That the committee also report the number
ofvotes, to which each State is entitled.


After being modified at The suggestion of Mr. Cave
Johnson, by adding the following words thereto, ltas
agreed to 80


;, "And of the suficency of their credentials"


Mr. Saunders then said he would waive pressing his
resolution unlthe committees should have reported.


Mr. Henry, OF n. c., hoped no further action would
be had until The delegations had been allowed time to
act upon the Eesouonhich had just been adopted and
he would therefore that The of the States be
called and that each delegation nominate one of their
number as a member ofthe committee.


And the motion being then agreed to, a
