Committees wore appointed,. at tar which the convention adjourned until ip.li. The convention was very hats iu Mining to order iu the afternoon. The Commutes on Credentials not being ready to report, the time until S o'clock was spent in listening to speeches. The venerable lease Harper, the former leading Gieeubacker In Illinois and the man who 10 1S64 named Abraham Lincoln for President ia the Republican National Convention, waa first called upon, Tboui'h shewing the effects of advancing years, air. Harper, when stimulated by the attention and applause oi his hearers, was not laekisg in warmth. His chief point was the danger Impending from the monopolies iu this country. Deferring vo Lincoln's early prophecy that slavery must be removed, he said that it otmld as safely be said now that unless the power of these monopolies was crushed the heavens would be hung with black and the land would run with nlood.

Nor was she less severe upon John Sherman, whom flheaoneuneed es. traitor for his rubious financial policy, to which she attributed much of the evils now cursing tb -oubtrj . By contrast she daclared that the James boja were praiseworthy in comparison with the statesmen who haje been oppressing and robbing the people, for the Missouri oatlaws were nsVer known to rob the poor. til.

He was decidedly hi favor of the land-tax idea of Henry George: This declaration drew enthusiastic applause from the f-llerlee, where the delegates to the United Labor Convention were Bitting. Mrs. Emery, of Michigan, waa called upou, but exenaed herserf, saying that Michigan nod been monopolising the platform. The Committee on Credentials then mode its report. It waa to tho effect that there were -42 aelegates present properly a'scrouited. The roport we received, and tho convention ordered that in votin only those preseut should bo entitled to a vote.
