The Union Greenback convention had reconvened at nearby Farwell Hall and sent an emissary to the National Greenbackers.
The delegates voted to join the other faction in a special conference committee to work for reunification, then adjourned until 7:30 that evening.
While they waited for the committees to finish their work, the delegates listened to speeches by several prominent Greenbackers, including Denis Kearney, a California labor leader, and William Wallace, a Canadian parliamentarian and advocate for currency reform.
Meanwhile, the Credentials Committee voted narrowly to admit the Union Greenbackers, as well as a delegation from the Socialist Labor Party.
The Committee on Permanent Organization voted to recommend Richard F. Trevellick, a Michigan trade union organizer, as the permanent chairman of the convention.
None of the reports were finished by the appointed time, so the convention adjourned again until 10:45 Thursday morning.

When they reconvened, the Credentials Committee announced that there were 608 regularly selected delegates, and recommended the admission of 185 Union Greenbackers and 44 Socialist Laborites, along with a handful of others.
After a spirited and chaotic discussion, the convention voted to admit the other delegates in a voice vote: the party was reunified.
Messages were sent to the Union Greenbackers and Socialist Laborites informing them of the results.
In the meantime, the women's suffrage supporters again tried to convince the delegates to endorse their cause.
Sara Andrews Spencer took the stage to give an impassioned argument for women's right to vote, while Kearney climbed a nearby platform to shout his disapproval.
Their informal debate was interrupted by a brass band, announcing the arrival of the Union Greenbackers and Socialist Laborites.
The convention erupted in prolonged cheering and a banner with the word "Reunion" was hoisted.
The convention broke for a brief recess as the delegates renewed their acquaintance with the erstwhile schismatics.
