But thoy now callit the Re- form party. . It has had control - of Congress for a year, and has not produced a States- man who could prepare a reforin measure In Congress, Tho party would vote for Its only consiatency, and is In abject subserviency to the South.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Loursviune, Ky., April 14—A moro tur- bulent meeting was never held in Kentuiéky than the State Republican Convention this evening to select delegates to Chiengo. Sus perlor organization, and a full-ledged de- termination to have things thelr own way, enabled tho Grant folks to make almost a clean sweep, although the Binine and Sher- man adherents fought their battle for all it Was worth. Col. John W. Lewis was Tem- porary and tho Hon, James Specd was Per- manent Chairman, both belng Grant men, ‘Thelr selection, of course, meant that Grant would be Instructed for, Lut the other sito never gave up, nnd waged war to the bitter end, inaking a right gallant struggle for au- premacy.

Mr. Lewis,on taking the chair, madea strong speech in favor of Grant, which was loudly applauded, Thomas Speed, of Louls- yiile, was made Temporary Secretary. A motion pledging every delegate to sup- port the nomince of the Chicago Convention, created along and lot debate between the friends of Grant and the opposition, At times, a dozen delegates were addressing the Chalr at one time, and wild disorder pro- yatled. ‘The resolution was finally declared ainld loud protests, Committees on Credentials, Resolutions, aut Organization, were appointed, i ‘The Convention reassembled at 4 o'clock, The Commitica on Permanent Organiza- tion reported James Speed for Chafriman, and ‘Thomas Speed for Secretary, and an As slitant Beorelary for each Congressional dis- tle opted, ‘ The ro) Hot the Committes on Creden- thals, In favor of excluding the ant!-Grant delegates from contested Wards In Zanes- ville, was adopted, It alsoadinitted votes by proxy from countles not othorwlse repre- sented, ‘The Comuitteo on Resolutions reported in favor of Instructions for Grant; but before their adoption a ulnority Opposition report Was presented, and reeelyed with wild ap- pinuse by the anti-Gpant men. ‘The stage had been lighted up, and the su crowd in the demt-twillght, as they arose to thelr test and cheered, whilo the last report was being read, made a wild and exciting scene.

Spectat Dtepatch to The Chicago Tribune, St. Louis, April 14.—The Missouri State Republican Convention to-day at Sedalia was ruted with an tron hand and run exclusively by Chauncey L Filley, Grant’s chief manager In this State. George 11. Shields was active- lyat work In the antl-third-term Intexcst bo- fore the Convention assembled, and was sanguine enough to think he had secured a strong following; but,.when the Convention opened, David Wagner, ex-Judge of the Su- preme Court, was elected Temporary Chair- nan, and took his seat witha speech for Grant. J. C. Broadwell, their ‘Temporary Secretary, was also.a pronounced Grant inan. On calling the rol! of the districts to mako up the Connittee, a strurgle.arose in the Ninth District, which finally pervaded the whole Convention, and confusion ran riot for half an tiour. Atone times regular brawl was imininent, which was. finally set- tled by reference to the Commnilttes on Cre- dentials, The whole trouble trose from try- ing to control matters. During the whole meeting there was continual disorder, half a dozen speaking at once. It appeared that the Grant men were inthe minority In tho district, but were determined on seating a delegation. Filley forced a recess until the inatter could be settled. MEANTIME A GRANT CAUCUS was held anda ticket for delegates at large was fixed up, with Filley at the head of the Ist, Filley’s speech to ,the caucus was un- compromising and bitter. An anti-Grant caucts was also held, and ex-Goy. McClure was nominated against Filley. When the Convention reassembled at 3:30 p. m, the Ninth District matter was settled by refus- ing to allow any representation to Worth County. The bulldozing tactics of the Filley followers were again opened, and the tem- porary, organizution was made permanent. ‘The spirit of intolerance was so strong that Mr, Upton, of Polk County, having secured the floor, ENTENED A STRONG PROTEST against the rule-or-ruin policy adopted by Filley. The latter responded at length, de- fending his course and taking an aggressive why dtsrgreed “TN troversy led to confusion, as a result of which Filley’s following Ilterally hooted down all attempts of members to be heard on the other side. ‘The ballot for delegntes-at- large gave Filley 319 votes to his opponents 18% ‘This result was greeted with loud cheers for Filley, and more confusion en- sucd, The Committee on Resolutions brought {n a majority ‘and winority report. The majority report embraced a resolution in- structing,the delegation tu votensn unit on all questions, and to support Grant as the candidate for President. This was adopted, the minority report being laid on the shelf as a matter of course, ‘There was n bitter feot- Ing over the manner in which tho minority had been choked off in tho Convention, As one member expressed it, they “ didn’t even have a chance to grumble,” ‘To the Western Associated Press, THE PROCEEDINGS, ' Sepauta, Mo, April 14.—'The Missourt State Republican Convention, to nominate delegates to tha Chicago Convention, as- sembled here to-day, Sedalia is crowded to suffocation, This morning all the Congressional Dis- tricts held caucuses at 9 o’clock, and elected delegates to Chicago, members of the Stato Central Committee, and Electors, save In the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh, From the First District—John A, A, Weber, Nicholas Berg, delegates; Judgo Newcomb and John Krauss, commiltteemen, Sixth District—t. ©, McBeth, W.
