Spectal Dispatch to The Tridune. CixerNaTi, 0., June 15.—The torrld heat of this town is telling perceptibly upoy the dele- gutes and outsiders In attendance upon the Con- ventfon. After datly canvassing and eaucusing, from carly morn to carly morn ugain, say, onan averagre, until 4 a. m,, steaming and sweltering the while in the hurning heat of the day and the almost suflocating sulirincss of the night, the delegates this morning began generally to look 03 though the starch had been taken ont of them. At the same time the tolling outaidors, who work harder and spend morc heat than any- body else, and all to no purposc, have grown aglimp ad wet rags. Worn, haggard, heated, persplring at every pore, the dolegatos eame Into Exposltion TInll this morning mepping thelr faces with thelr kerchlefs, and easaying In vain to keep cool. TIOARSE, JIAGGARD, AND VERY WILTED-LOOKING, tho outside managers filed {nto the hall with the afr of men who had momentous business on hand, whils the orchestra tooted and perspired, and perapired and tooted. Delegntes and out- sldera made their wayto thelr seats respectively, and scttled down to their share i the proceed- ngs with the manifest alr of men who wished it were all ovor, but who cherlshied misgivings ns tothe amount of swear - ing and sweating that must needs yet be done before the work of the Convention was over, Everyhody else, even the claquenrs, whose hotel bills were pald for them by the Conkling folks and the Hartrant folks, were manifestly anxious to havo it over aa soon as possible, “ GIVE US TIME!” TUN DETERMINED CRY OF THE ANTI-DLAINE FOICES. FSpectal Dispatch to The Tribune. CINCISNATL, Junce 15.—The Blalne managers and delegates generally this morning wanted to rush the Convention to an ndjournment. So it happens that the key to the whole day's pro- ceedings will be found in the fact that the chief fssuc in the Conventlon ayose upon a fight nzainst thne. That fight was made by the antl- Blaine men, for upon that issuc the Convention was divided {nto Blalne and antl-Blaine parties. ‘The Blatne men were well organized, were held well In hand by thelr leaders, und wers ready to push to balloting for a candidate against the divided and seattered opposition. The latter, in turn, wanted another night inwhich to re- new the attempt to form o consolidatlon of the entire anti-Blaine vote upon some candidato. ‘The contesthegan upon the reception of the re- port of the Committee on Rules. It was INAGURATED IY THE ULAINE MEN. The order of business, ns {lxed by tho rules as reported, required that the report of the Comuittee ou Credentials he taken up and disposed of before the report of the Committee on Resolutions should bo conshl- ored then, that the balloting for candidates for Prealdent and Vice-Prestdent should not 1e- £In until the report of the Cotmnitice on Reso- lutions was finaliy disposed of. This order was the same as that of the Republean Conven- tlons of 16864, 1865, and 1872, but, If adopted, with the discussion that was inevitablo os to the Alabamna contesting delegatlons and that which was expected upon the currency plank of the platform, manifestly no ballot for candidates could be tuken to-day, and ANOTHER NiGHT in which to arravgoe for a consolldation of thelr fures conld be aeetired by the anti-Blaine men. Tinle, therefore, hastoned to checkmato the antt-Blaine prozramme for delay by moving to striko out thut clause of the rule as re- ported requiring that the platform be adopted bofors the halloting for candl- dates for President nod Viee-President be begun. Immediately a vigorous opposition to the Blafue progranmme for rushing through the nomina- tion to-day waus made by the entire antl-Blalne forces, Haotcehkiss, of New York, after remind- ing the Convention of the absurdity of attempt. Ing to put a candidate upon the platform before the pintform was constructed and that the plat- form might of itself be such a8 some candidates might not be able tomount, earnestly suid that If ever thero was a time when dellberation was re- quired 1T WAS IIBIE AND NOW, The reference could not he mistaken, and {n effect was a notlileation to the Blalne men that any attempt to reach the balloting for can- didates tolay would bo resisted. Ex-Cov, Noyes, of Ohlo, followed fn o slaflor tone and pointedly alluded to.the embarrassinent that nght ovenr 12 the canditaty aclected before the platform was framed should not happen to tit the platform when it' was buflded. Cessna, of Pennsylvana, followed up the assault upon the Blalne programme fur rushing things, and, 1t belng manifest that, by developing, it had con- solldated tho entire forces of il the other can- didates ond would eucounter cortain defeat, RUGENE MALE WITHDREW 513 MOTION. It was a faux pus forhim tointroduce it, and ho il not withdraw It quickly enough. It had the effect to bring them futo Hue, shoulder ta shoul- der, and may render it casler to da that same again to-morrow, upon a common candidate aggainst Blalne, whose personal ambition and the unscruputous zeal of whose adherents threatens to tmiperil tho nattonal Republican party. BULLIVAN, OF NEW YOHI, then offered an amendiment to the rules which would have bren dilatory enough to have run the Conventlon into the tniddle of next weck, It provided thay thers shall hoarevess of o half hour after ench ballot, that delegates might bo cabaled with as to prices aml terine. LAST KIGIT OR NEVER, If the consolidation of the anti-Blaine forces cannot be effceted to-nfght it never can he effected, Without it Blalne will be nominated, nnd the party forced to carry him with his Fishercorrespondence platform. This was clear to every delegate. What will come of the time gained In which to cffect n consolldation such na indieated, 1t 1s Inposeible for anyhody to-night to determine. ‘The uhcertaln quantity Is the preclse number of Indiana delegates who, s0 soon as Morton be withdrawa, will o over to Blalne in preference to anyhody elre, the number of Pennsylyania delegates when Hartranft s withdrawn who ¥l go over to Blalne, and the nnmber of New York delegates who, when Conkling fs with- drawn, will go over to Blaine. The fact fs that, while the “favorite sons have atood in the way of consulidation of the antl-Blaine vote, they have algo held off from him at least enough votes to come very near nominating, e BURYING IIARTRANTT. TS POLITICAL ONSEQUIES LANT NIGUT, Spectal Diypaleh 1o The Trihune. Crxciswaty, June 15.—After the clamor of the stomach of the Convention for dinner, backerd by the fears that the approach of nizht and the abrence of gas would plunge them fnto unutterable confusion, had forced un adjourn- ment without u hullot, it cexpected that the dumonstrations of the candidates would cense, that the brass bands would be allowed to take off thelr sweltering uniforms nnd enjoy the celebrated beer of Cincinnatl, and that the hoarse orators would o glven n temporary re- spite. Nothing remained to he done but to ciucus and to button-hole. It was belleved that the demonstrations of last night, the half-dozen bands nnd processlons moving in different directions and lucerating the soul of the small boy who wanted to follow all and could only accompany one, bad exhausted the dress-parnde business. But the peace of the night was rudely broken by THE LAST CRY OF THE HARTRANET MEN,— the tinal obsequies of the Pennsylvanin candl- date. 1lis eulogy had been pronounced at the Convention. His record in peace and war had been sultably extolled. To-night the mourn- ers bore him to the tomb. About 8 o'clock n solemn procosslon nssembled front of the Burnet House. The caletum light which flares in front of that editice illu- mined a long array of men clad in white hats and dusty boots, Sadness was upon thelr faces and canes were fu thelr hands. The whité hot {8 the badge of the Penuaylvaniana. It Iscme blematic of the spotless purity of Philudelphia polities. They are nt present n little smudged with Clncinnati soft-conl dust. The have heen sat upon and snashed in In moments of conviy- 1n] joklug, but they remain THE OUTWARD AND VISIDLE SIGN of HMartranft’s hordes, and many respectable cltlzens of Cincinnath have been foreed to doft their favorite head-gear to avefd belug dragged in corners and argued with by the partisans of was a gigantic fellow who bore a banner with the strange device of “For President, John T, Hortranft.” A transparency, embellished with appropriate devices, and fuminated by a mel- ancholy eandle which continually BILD TALLOWY TRARS, was another featuro of the demonstration, A band played suftable tuncs, and a gentleman re- elted fnn clear volee the lnes on the burial of 8ir John More. The cltizens who lined the slde- walks took off their hats, cither from sympathy or hieat. The cortege slowly moved to the Grand Hotel, where truly Intcresting remarks were made by the friends of the deceased, The banner nnd transparency were buried fn his grave, and the mourners went to take o drink., NO OTIER MORTUARIES, The War Governor of Indiana and the Senntor from New York were not honored by any such demonstrations, All their supporters did was to drop down unanimously to the railrond oflices und purchinse sleepling-var tickets for to- morrow night. The moment the Book of Geno- 613 18 ended that of Exodus whil begin, THE PLATFORM. IT8 BALIENT FEATURLS. Special Dispateh ta The Tyibune. CINCINNATI, June 15.—The platform was well recelved. As a whole It disposes of delleate questions in o more satisfactory manner than was antlcipated. ‘The currency plank is gen- erally nccepted with cntire satisfaction. It is felt that less conld not have heen eald without stultillcation of the party, and that more wus not required, While 1t was recognized that the ‘paramount lssue {3 between repudi- atlon and present payment of the Governmment promises to puy, it was also recognized that the platform was designed, not as a schemo for Congresslonal legislation, but an n plain declaration of the principles of the representatives of the party in the West, and which the Administration will be left to carry out. 1N SHORT, the platform-makers did not undertake to usurp the provinea of Congress, or to how rpecic- resumption shall be effected, but the platforn distinctly and unequivocally declares for ure- turu to specie and honest currency, Some sharp corners are smoothed off In the platform be- catiso there are differences of opinfon in the party, but no lve fssuc can be safd to have beeu dodged. R TIIE WOMEN-FOLK. THAEIL SUCCEBSFUL DABBLING IN POLITICS, Special Dispatch 10 The Trihune, CixciNNaTi, O, June 15.—The women of Auwerlen, without distinetion of race ar previous ur present condition of servitude, thus {nelud- ing the servant girls, were to-day doubly hon- ored In the Convention. They were mentioned in the platforin, which states that thelr clatms are entitled to respectful consideratlon, and thelr representative, Mrs, Spencer, was allowed to make a speech to the Convention. It wae written, but she could not stick to her text, and she wound up with a reference to Senator Logan and Fred Douglass which will not be found fntheauthorized versfon, Mrs. 8pencer and hercolleagueslsoappeared before the Committee on Resolutlons, and were given a hearlng there, as they wers at Philadelphia four years ago. The remarks of MRS, SPENCER were Hstened to with the ntmost courtesy by the Conventlon, and the objectlun ade fn somu quarters to her speaking was not because she was a woman, hut was born of the deslro to get to balloting snd business 08 Hoon as possi- Dble, There was un uneXpressed fecllng amung the delegates, especially the engaged ones, that a decluration that the clubms of women shonld meet with respectful constderation wis nothing nore than the expression In a party platforiu of a great soclal fact, and that they did not commit themselves to anything novel therehy, A BRISTOW MEETING, Mit. DANA AGAIN HPBAKS, Bpecial Dispaich 10 The Tridune. CiNcinNATI, June 15.—~Another Bristow meeting was held at Piko’s Opera-House to- night. R . Dana tirst addressed the meetlng. M. Dano sadd that in 184 Massuchusetts—not avery lurge State, anly about a milllon and a half of populution—gave Lincoln aud the Republican party o majority of more thun 75,000, How has this majorlty been diminished? By a growing dissatisfaction with tho sdmintstration of public affuirs by the offi Dlaine. At the head of to-night's procession EN PAGES. cers of the Republlean party, we find that there has lowered upon the » country 4 deep, dark cloud—a could of susplcion and distrust—which we must at this Convention endeavor by our nominee and platform to dfesipate. There must bea gene ulne reform. He was in favor of the nomlua- ot and election of Mr. Bristow hecause he has proved himself o practieal reformer, SENATOR ALUORN, OF Misefssippr, swas introduced, and sald that the prosperity of the country largely, If not fatally, depends upon & united country, swhere there shall he no division of North and South, This talk about the South attempting another rebelllon was ull bosh. It was trying to do a better thing thanto go out of the Unfon. It was tryfug to establish a Southern Confederacy i the Unfon. Sucha condition of thinzs was da: Kerous, awl such sectionallsmn must he d stroyed. ‘Thereare in the South a great many people who are not at heart Demorrats. They were opposed {n the first place to secesslon, The Bouthern people . DID KOT GO INTO BECR4SION UNAKIMOUSLY, by any means. They weee forced into it by thefr leaders, but, once [n It, they fought as hest they could. When tho War ended, and they were conquered Ly superfor nwnliers, then the penple, not naturally or historfeally aflitiated with the Democratie party, accepted the result, and are now ready, upon a hearty and cordinl invitatian, to Join the Republican ranks. The nomination of Mr. Bristow would be con- strucd as such an juvitation, and It would be aceepted by many In all parts of the South, THE BOUTHENN PEOPLE KNOW BRISTOW. There need be no fear of his turning traitor to the Republican party. The speaker would not say that Bristow was a better man than other men might be. e would not say that he was better than Morton. e would not say that he had more sptendid talents than Conkling. But he would ray that he would win the electoral votes of Mississippt. TIIE CONSOLIDATION. IT WAS BROUGHT ABOUT LAST NIGHT I¥ TIHERE BE ANY HOPE OF IT AT ALL. Spectul Dixprsteh to The Tribune, CiNCINNATY June 15.—There are delegations instructed to vote as u unit for Blaine, and del- egatious that Inve been dragooned into uniting npon him ou the first ballot, in which there are minoritics that, after the first Lnllot, will naturally go to the antl- Blalne candidate, if onc be agreed upon. The question to-night is whether there will be such ogreement upon a candldate who means reform Instead of meaning nothing In particular but a compromise compromising awny reform, There arc thuse who to-night believe a consolidation of the anti-Blalne vote ean be effected upon Bristow, The test, however, that ecema liahle to ocear Is upon Tuyes, of Ohlo, in place of Bristow, And of Hayes it is now to be remarked that the attitude fn which he has been placed before the Conven- vention by ex-tiov. Noyes, of Ohlo, makes Hayes' candidacy mean A DEAL MORE than it did before the Conventlon met. There I8 no end of rumors of consolidation on Bris- tow, and consolidation on Hayes, this evening, none of which are capable of verifieation until the allot by had tomorrow,, and none of which ars worth telegraphing, because no half-<dozen or dozen gentlemen here can arrunge any consolidation with cven toler- able certalnty of its being accepted by those they nssume to 1cpresent. In fact, were the truc inwardness of it disclosed, doubtless, it would be manifest that the difficulty last night, and shat wiil be the chief diffienlts to-night and to-morrow, Is that the majority of the Penn- sylvania delegation Is HLALLY BET FOR BLAINE, and thiere i3 as yet uo assurance that the entire delegation would not go over to him in a body In preference to auy other candidate after Ilartranft. But thne will show, and 80 quickly, too, what will be the result of the time to~lay galned by the anti- Blaiue men that it {s not worth while to attempt more than to state the situation, leaving the prophets to predict what shall come to pass. THE GREAT ADVANTAGE galned by the autl-Blaine men, and which, if thelr cousolidution be practicable, witl greatly facllitate ft, was the adoption of the rule prohibiting sny chunge of votes hefore the result of the ballot shall be announced. ‘This will cuard the anti-Blaine men against any stamnpede at the tall end of the ballot, which might run Blaine through with o rush, a8 wus the original programme of his managers. TIIE SPEECHTS, TUEIR BIGNIFICANT DIPFERENCES, Epectal Dispatch to The Tribune, CINCINNATY, June 15, 1876.~More than ordi- nary signlficance attaches to the specches by which the seyeral candldates were to-day placed in nomination before the Conventign. ‘Theretn, with little difieutty, may be found the brénd distinction between the Blalne and wntl- Blaine parties, Into which to<lny the Conventlon wus divided. Bob Ingersoll took oceasfon at tho very outset to crack the party whip, but the Blalne men had lstened with not-to-be-concealed uueasiness to George Willlam Curtls’ manly statement of the self-evident fact that the greut work he- fore the Republlean party wne that ot purilication of the Adininlstration, and because of those who would tolerate no adinfa- slon thal there was or could bo anything under Republican administration that needed to be re- formedZthers s tho greater need of reform nnd the demand for it was the work fmperative—in short, that the party could only be saved by giving guaraotees for reform. Thus, Rich- ard I Dang, in following Mr. Curtis, fn sce- onding the nomination of Bristow, had sall he kaew of nonan who could so surely carry Mas- sachusctts as Bristow, THE ATUEINT CRACKS TIB PARTY WILJ, Ingersoll mefzed upon the opportuni- ty to proclalm, in sabstance, that lowalty to the Republican party mcant submission to the machine managers, - and that if Mussachusetts was not as certuln for whoever might bu nominated, Massachusctts wasn't loyal. What o Intended was that, if Massuchusctts wouldn't cast as many votes for Blaine with lis Flsher letters or his platform as she would for Bristow with bls record as ring- master THEN MASSACHUSETTS WAS DISLOYAL. Then he furthier asserted i substance the Misloyalty of reading and believing Mr, Blalne's own letters, showine how as Bpeaker he saved the land-graut of the Little Itock Raile road and had s0 wmuch to do in dealing n railroad securities, the whale of which depended upon Congrese slonal logislation. Such a man as Blaine, with s gentus, Ingersoll declured, NELDED NO CBUTIFICATE. But, with Blalne’s evidence agalnst Iimaclf in his own Jetters unanswered, Mr. tugersoll asked the Republicane party to give Mr, Blaine a certftlente of goud character by nominating him. Ingersoll’s declured that' the refusal to assume Blalue's defenso and thereby fmperil the purty by nominativg him, would be as if an army surrendered It own General to the en- my, and anathemetized as traftors all who wanted to know whether Blaine was the fittest candidate for the Ropubliean party. WOODPORD, OF NEW YOIK, in his speech nominating Conkling, made the fitting refolder when ho appeated to the Con- ventlon not to satfer the Republican party to bazard all that is committed to it ina moment of ewotional tnsanity, and that, in splte of ull the eutbusiasm, when a cundidato were nomie nated who could not carry Indlana aud New “VTlamld have kpoken for York the party would a defeated. A similar Fuggestion was most polntedly made in ex-Gov. Noyes® apeech nominating Hayes. TIHE PROCEEDINGS. WOMAN BUFFRAGE. AN AIPEAL THERZVOR.
