John M. Olin, the only dissenting member of the committee, presented a minority report in which he thought it would be unwise to place in the platform any indorsement of woman suffrage. When the plank declaring unequivocally for female suffrage was read the whole Convention was on its feet in an instant, and the cheering which followed lasted fully ten minutes. The entire platform was adopted amid prolonged enthusiasm, aftsr which the convention adjourned sine die. Of every description made at short notice.

The first open session for the consideration of executive business was held. The British Fisheries Treaty was broughtup for consideration, and Mr. Fryo took the floor and delivered a lengthy speech in opposition toits Mr. Manderson brought i up in the Senate the bill to promote General Sheridan to the office of General of the Army. Unanimous consent was necessary, and the; bill was placed upon the calendar, with a favorable report.

103d Day. The Senate bill to grant tothe. Fuyallup Valley Railway Company a right of way through the Fuyallup Indian Reservation in Washington Territory was passed The consideration of the Senate bid to quiet title of settlers on the DesMoines liiver lands in Iowa was taken up The Pacific- Railroad Telegraph Bill was favorably reported from the Inter-State Commerce Committee. following bills were passed: The House bill to extend the time for the completion of the bridge across Staten Island Sound for one year from June 16, joint resolution for a commission to select a site for a naval station on the Pacific Coast: Senate bill to incorporate the American Historical Association; Mr. Call entered a resolution (which went over) directing the Attornev-General to report whether Anastasia Island, near St.

Augustine, is the property of the United States The Iowa Homestead bill was after considerable debate. 104th Day. The entire day's session was consumed by the consideration of the Indian Appropriation bill. Mr. Blair made a lengthy speech in which he condemned the present administration of Indian a'Fairs.

After much debate the bill was passed without amendments. 105th Day. A bill was placed on the calendar appropriating 125.000 for a public building at Salt Lake City, Utah A bill to repeal all pre-emption and timber culture laws was referred The Committee on Ap. propriations reported back the Consular and Diplomatic bill Mr. Spooner offered a resolution (which van laid over) calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for copies of correspondence between the First Comptroller and the United States Commissioner or Chief Supervisors of Election appointed; for the Congressional election of 1889, and for a statement of allowances made tot hem learned (what did not ietore believe) tnat my name may yet be presented to the National Convention as a candidate for the Presidential nomination of the Republican party.

A single phrase of my letter of January 25 from Florence (which was decisive of everything I had the personal power to decide) has been treated by many of my most valued friends a3 not absolutely conclusive in ultimate and possible contingencies. On the other hand, friends equally devoted and disinterested have construed my letter (as it should be construed) to be an unconditional withholding of my name from the National Convention. They have in consequence given their support to eminent gentlemen who are candidates for the Chicago nomination some of whom would not, I am sure, have consented to assume that position if I had desired to represent the party in the Presidential contest of 1883. If I should now, by speech or by silence, by commission or omission, permit my name, in any event to come before the Convention I should incur the reproach of being uncandid with those who have always been candid with me. I speak therefore, because I am not willing to remain in a doubtful attitude.

I am not willing to be the cause of misleading a single man among the millions who have given me their suffrages and their confidence. I am not willing that even one of my faithful supporters in the past "yy K. WOODBURY, ATTORNEY AT LAW, No. 3 Morris Building, POTTSVILLE, PA. Roofing and Plastering Laths.
