The first thing discussed was tho retion of the Central Committee in excluding tho delegation from tho floor of the Convention and assigning thein seats fn tho gallery. This was denounced ns arbitrary, the Central Committe baving no power to any who wero or who were not dele- gates, not knowing officially of any contest. The delegates had a prima facte case and wore entitled to scats xecording to purliamontary law, tho Palmer-Houge mon belag the cous wstanta, Col. Pierce submitted tho following: “ Resolved, That tha regular detegution from Cook County refuse to subinit to the unware ranted assuinption of power by the State Central Committe excluding this delegation from seats on the fluor uf the Convention, “ Heanleed, That we decline to accede to the action of tho Central Comiittes, and refuse to accept seats {n the gallery as spectators of the action of n body in which, of right, wo should particle as members, and demand admission to [ts deliberations, * Resolved, That the Chairman of this meeting communicate this resolution to the Juint Com- snitice of Munagoment us (ho views of the delv- gation,” AFTEIt VIGOROUS SPERCHES by Dixon, Schaffner, Col.

Many were in fuvor of doing tho former, but it was finally decided to await the report of tha Joint Committee uppointed Tuesday night to arrange a program, Tho sentiment was ull one way ns to standing or fulling together, and tho delegation necded no stiffening on that polnt, AT THE ADJOURNED MEETING held in the Senate Chamber, Mr. C. W. Thomas, of St. Clalr County, was chosen to preside, and Col, Jobn H. Roberts, of Chicago, was made Sec rotury. Eilfote Anthony, of Chlenyo, reported that the Comtnittee on Management bad decided upon a plan of action which would develop itself soon ufter the Convention hnd assembled. Col, Schaffner, of Chicugo, referred to the ‘unprecedented agsumptUon of the State Contral Connnittee thut there were threo contested del- eyations from three Congressional districta, and on that nssumption bad decided that they should not sit in the Convention until the assumed con- test wore devided, . It wus tha intention of tho Forwell Hall delegation, he snid, to go there and demand their seats, ond thon wait to sco wheth- er thoy were contestod or riot. ° ‘The Chair stated that it was thought best by tho Comimitteo on dlunagement thut tho delegn- tlun should demand aduilttance, aud, in case it wore refused, to rotire and awalt further devel- opments.

It. Mosser, of Mucon; A, H. Reed, of Ciny; and J. H. Paddock, of Kankakes, were elected ‘Temporary Seerotaried. Dr. Rubblns, of Adums—I rise to a queetion in nature of onc of privilege.

Gen, Rowott—E desire to state us a delegate and ainember of the State Contrul Comiuitics that tho Committee has not the least idea of du. claring who are or who ure not delegnted on this flour, Itisa fuct known to the Committee that thre are two guts of dulegates clahiniig to be regularly appointed, We prefer to lave thls, ucstion sottled in the Comuitteo on Creden- unly, whero it property belongs.

Ho hold in hia band a communtention nddrossod to the Convention, signed by several gontiemon, who alleged that they were a Committee of the rogu- luv Cook County delegation, and sotting forth that they bad bee. denied ndmisaton to the floor of the Convention, in. that the State Contral Committee had power tositpply them as delo- utes; thitasinco tho temporary organization jad been effected they hid ugar applied for ud- tnisafon an@ had been refusod: and that inna- much ag the Convention was temporarily organized, the suthority of the Central Committes, ceased in toto, and it was * a question for the Convention to settle or not ‘ whether tho ordera given by tho Stato Gontrat ze Comunittee prior to the tomporary organization should overrida those of the Convention, McFaddon, of Adama, saw no element in the question rolating to the final decision of tho ‘one to be presented to the Committee on Cre+ dential’. The question was simply whother the two sota of delegates claiming aunts were to. be aceorded the courtesy of seats on tha floor. Otherwise, how could one of thdse delegates preeats question of privilexe if one nose? (Applanse.] He was in favor of oxtouding the ‘Thomaa, of Ht.

A mob might come in and exe clude the other delegates. {Applauso.)

There are deteyntes from Du Page and Lake Countics, which form Batt. of the First and Third Con- xreasional Districts, and which are entiticd to represcntation and to present their rospective commnittcemeu.
