The Chicago men were very confident before the com- mittee met that the convention would go to that city, and said they had enough ledged vetes to secure such result, The incinnati and Indianapolis delegates, however, were not willing to concede this, though a few of them said, pri- vately, they would not be surprised if Chicago was seleoted as the place of fored there, he smid the republicans of Indiana were earnest, intelligent and active, and were as faithful and able re- publicans as in any state, Indiana always was a doubtful state, and was likely to be more doubtful in 1884, Should” the democratic cenvention name a certain man now prominently mentioned, Indi- ana would be placed in the conter of the fight, and the republicans would be called upon to lead what might bo_ealled a for- lorn hope, but they would do it nobly. He did not hesitate to pledge in 1884 the electoral vote of Indiana would be cast for the ropublican candidate. Col.

[Ap- plause. ] TRIBUTE TO MARSHALL JEWELL, "The following resolution was offered by Mr. Elkins: Resolved, That this committee deplores the death of Marshall Jewell, of (‘onnectiout, its chairman, distingnished ‘as an_ earnest, con- sistent and valued member of the republican pnrz{‘lmm its origin, and an active, zealous participant in national contests, an'l cspec- ially in the memorable presidentiai campaign of 1880. Zesolved, That as governor, foreign minis- ter and cabinet officer his integrity and his official life added lustre to his pure character and patriotic nature and made for him a name which the party and nation will be proud to cherish with honor and affection. Lesolved, Thet these resolutions be entored on the minutes of the committee and pub- lished, and a copy of the same, signed by the officers of the committee, be forwarded o the family of Mr. Jewell, FRYE'S PROPOSITION, On a motion to that effect the date of the next convention was made Tuesday, June 3, 1884. Frye, of Maine, then submitted his proposed new basis of representation in the next national convention. In sup- & conscientious attention. Since the pro- position was made, he (Frye) had re- ceived hundreds of republican news- papers all over the north, which united in the expression and demand for reform in the convention. Doubtless consideration of the proposition would be postponed, {at the committee had a duty to perform. When any gentleman made a proposition to change the form of the convention every man who was a candidate for presi- dent (or who had one) immediatelv sniffed at it. It had been charged that he offered the proposition ia the interests of Mr. Blaine, and in opposition to the interests of Mr. Arthur. Was it not possible to conceive that he might make a proposition without a selfish end When he made the proposition a candi- date for president of the United States?! never entered his head. He had no can- didate for president, so help him God. Never again would he have a candidate. His candidate for president was that tried and known republican, who by his experience 8o commends himself to the republican party, that he would unite them throughout the length and breadth of the land in" his favor. His candidate was ajmanwhose votes in congress (if he happened to be in congress) and whose acts outside of congrzss commended him to the business interests to come with their strength to the republican arty and save this country from what Ke believed would disorganize it, or at least, harm it greatly. [Applause.] Ho had no other candidate. Ifla proposition was_offered in the interest of absolute justice, which the national committee could not afford to deny. Frye then quoted statistics of the states which were anti republican, showiug that the repre- sentation from such states was nearly ag large as ®rom states which are surely republican and argued that his proposi- tion is in the interest of absolute justice. He did not wish to be understood as being antagonistic to republicans of the southern states. He did believe there had been intimidation in the south and if he had his way it would not have ex- isted. While in congress he put his soul into the task of maintaining southern re- publicans in their rights. He never truckled to bourbons, had never melted down his words, had called murder, mur- der, everywhere, and no man could charge him with forgetfulness of the right of any one. FORBES FAVORS THE SCHEME, Forbea briefly supported the proposi- tion submitted by Frye, stating that the country would criticize the party if it re- fused to inaugurate a reform in the or- ganization of the convention. HEARING THE DELEGATES The matter was laid over, however,for the present for the purposeof hearing delegates in support of the claims of the various sections for the national convention. Bremen, Brass and State Senator Ved- der, of New York, briefly presented the claims of Chataqua for ‘the convention, The Pennsylvania delegation was then received and in a stiering speech by Col, Snowden, of Philadelphia, the claims of that city to the honor were prosented. So far as Pennsylvania is concerned she had no candidate at present and only desired * that the republican party present the strongest and best man. The central feature of the republican platform would be protection of Awerican industry and labor and it was well that the convention which represented the party that up- into her borders from Kentucky, Penn- sylvania and West Virginia, tended to make them mere doubtful. CHICAGO'S FACILITIES, Senator Cullom, of Illinois, claimed Chicago was the best convention city in the United States and set forth the ad- vantages of that city in the way of hotel, railrond and telegraphic facilities. 1t was well known what the spirit of the party was going tobe in the next elec- tion. The republicans of Illinois expect to be in line with the great party and expect the next republican nominee for president will be elected triumphantly. THE BALLO] The first ballot to decide on a_ place for holding the convention resulted as follows, the whole number of votes cast being forty-six: FLISTE Lot Chicago. ... Philadelphia. Cincinnati, Tndianapolis. Saratoga. . . Philadelphia. Saratoga. e LU THERD BALROT, Saratoga. .. Dhiladelp) FOURTH DAL Chicago. . Cincinnati. Saratoga. ... . Philadelphia .. . Chicago was then declared the place for holding the next republican national convention. TACKLING FRYE'S SCHEME, The question recurred on Frye's prop- osition against which Hicks, of Florida, raised a point of order. Morey, of Louisiana, offered a resolu- tion to amend the ‘‘call for delegates” adopted at the last mecting, by adding, “except that in the state of Louisiana delegates be elected any time after the 15t of February, 1884.” Magee, of Pennsylvania, offered an amendment amending the call so as to extend to ninety days before the meeting of the convention, the time within which delegates Hicks raised a pomt of order against both propositions and pendi the committee took a recess. EVENING SESSION, The regular order being called for the chairman declined to rule upon Hicks’ joint order and decided the matter open for discussion, Frye suggested that the point was rais- ed too late 1n the proceedings. Logan controverted this suggestion and argued that the resolution proposed was not such as the committee had power to act upon. He (Logan) was willing to refer it to the next national convention for that was the body that had a right to congider it. Clayton opposed the plan and McGee moved that the whole matter be re- ferred to tke next national convention Chandler claimed the proposition was sustained by thesentiment of strong re- publican communities, from which the republican party got votes to elect its presidents. He said that sentiment was in favor of not taking representationfrom southern states, but giving additional re- presentation to northern states, that was the sentiment the committee could not afford to despise or rule down on a point of order, it was a sentiment that could not be buried at sight but should be met fairly and squarely by voluntary action of southern members of the com- mittee. Bradley, of New York, opposed Frye's plan and complained that ru)’)uhlicnuu of the south were taunted with giving no electoral votes, He said: If the people of the south could go to the polls and vote as the people of the north could they would give electoral votes, He always understood the republican party was a national party and knew no north, south, east or west. One thing the re- publicans of the south could do and that zhey had done, whether they could give electoral votes or not, they could give their lives to the cause of the republican party. Piorce, of Rhode Island, and Houck, of Tennessce, spoke in opposition to Fryo's plan, O'Hara (colored) of North Carolina, and Representative Boutello briefly spoke urging harmony and co- operation of colored voters, and white republicans in the south, Filley, :, Missouri, reviewed the bene- fits which have accrued to the republi- can party from the republicaniam of the south, holds that principle, should come to the Goft, of West Virginia, entered a pro- 8 | operation and right hand of fellowship to all common country and who desire to pro- mote friendly “feeling. and permanent harmony throughout the land by securing a national government pledged to these objects A principles, are cordially in- vited to send for each state four dele- gates at large, for each congressional dis- trict two delegates, and for each. repre- sentative at large two delegates, ® The call is signed by all the members of the committea, CHANDLER'S RESOLUTION, Chandler offered the following, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That this committee views with regret dnd indignation the recent attempts to suppress human rights, destroy free suffrage and honest counting of ballots in the various states by methods of war on humanity and , and against the prevalence of . ethods the republican party stands ir- revocably pledged, and - We extend oun sym- pathy to all sufferers by such inhumanities, and pledge our earnest and unconditional co- men and all organizations, whatever may have Deen their past political action, who now un- reservedly commit themselyes. to organized. efforts to secure free education, free su i and protection of life and property: for all giti- zens_without regard to race, color, political opinion or votes.

He intends to seek a recognition by the speaker the first day for a suspension of the rules in order to move to suspend the rules and put the billon its passage.

Mr. Bayard: moved an amendment to he resolution so. it may call also for a report showing: under precisely what provisions of law-a reduction of the pub- lic debt has been. effected. Mr. Plumb, thought the sinking fund ab the prosent. ime s mere matter of hookkeeping. 'Bhe people were anxious for the debt to be paid off ts.rapidly as possible. They do not need to keep the debt for the purpose of maintaining the national banking system which so far, as it relation to tho currency is conoernd is doomed with the extinction of the na- tional debt, and because the demands oft the country for currency are constantly reasing. . He held it a part of good soment and patriotism to begin. to provide something to take the pluce of the present national bank systom. The amendment of Mr. Bayard was agreed to and the resolution as amended was agreed to, Mr, Wilson called up his joint resolu- tion, proposing an amendment to the constitution relating to civil rights of citizens, and moved reference to the committee on the judiciary. Mr, Wilsou's resolution proposes the following article, the amendment to be numbered sixteen: Congress shall have power by appro- priate legislation teo {)ro!.ucl citizens of the United States in the exercise and en- joyment of rights, privileges and im- munitics, and insure them equal protec- tion of the laws, Mr. Wilson addressed the senate in support of his resolution, He reviewed the civil rights legislation, which, he said, was rendered necessary by the fact that the constitution could not enforce itself, but the supreme court of the United States recently declared this leg- tion of congress unconstitutional and void, He quoted at length from cases decided by that court, and combatted the doctrine that led to its conclusien. Ac- cording to this theory all a state has to do to rem inert is to retuse to protect a citizen and the mation cannot help him, and this is called equal protection of the law and enfore ment of the constitutional amendments, The most that constitutions and laws can do is to assure each citizen an equal chance with all others to reach these ends which governments are organized to pro- mote, but no citizen has an equal chance who has not equal protection, It is his right to possess both. 1t is the duty of the government to assure both, for jus- tice 18 the foundation of government, Mr. Garland said consistency in the recent decision of the supreme court was not to be found in the opinion of the majority of that court, but that of the minority, nawmely, Justice Harlan, 1f any people of this country had not equal protection of the laws he 'was in favor of giving it to them, but how far congress could go in thiostling a state ho was not Nows will publish a Salt Lako spocial containing an interview with a leadin; citizon: He says the Mormons rega the reference to polygamy in the presi- dent’s message as a menace to their polit- ieal power, their theocratic control of un sider the groatest Their cattle and hceraising intcrests are Nebrask' and Dakota country in ti® west. nsurpassed.
