The Mattor Finally Settled by Adopt- ing Logan’s Resolution Giving the Grant Machine the Selection of the Entire Delogation. The Outlook at the Latest Hour Unfavora- ble to Futuro Harmony. IN BRIEF. THE RESULTS OF YESTERDAY. Bpectal Dupatch.to The Chleago Tribune. Sprivarievp, Ill, May 20,—A fter a vigor- ous and well-mannged fight the anti-third- termers lave been obliged to yield to the bulldozing of the Senator from Ilinols, alins tho gentleman from ‘tho Third Ward of Jackson,” with the sid’of his Egyptians, who have nothing.to dellver, and the help of near- ly all the oMccholders in the State. The Re- publicans of Cook County, and in fact nearly all the Republican Congressional Districts In the State, havo beon ns thoroughly disfran- chised as yor were the negroes in Mississippi, Tho Convention assombled «promptly nt ‘0 o'clock, and. it ‘was evident from the bol and aggressive front which was exhibited by the third- termers, that the trinl vote was practically a test one, and that without Cook County the Grantites had a clean majority of about 100. ‘The Orst, and only, vote during the forenoon -was on & motion introduced by Dr. Robbins, of Adams, who proposed that the Committee on Credentials should not entertain any claim to contested sents from any delegation which bolted any Convention hold at the place and time specified In the regular call therefor. This was voted down by an even 100 majority. Meantime, THE COMMITTEE ON CREDENTTIATS— who had adjourned last night for tho pur- pose: of affording timo to the Farwell Hall’ delegates to consider what they would do on the matter of accepting tho cast-iron pledge adopted by the Convention the day before, and whio had prepared a very skillful answer in which they averred that thoy did not un- derstand the scope of the pledge as the Con- -vention did, and besides they did not feol lke buylng that justice which they had a right to demand—went. into executive session over this fase of the problem, and, by a vote of 11to 6, Mnally resolved to hear the testimony, After tossing up for choice of position, Leon- ard Swett opened his bag and read a series of affidavits, signed by people whose entity ean only be found In the directory, and whose identity Is a question greater than that of the authorof Junius, Therending of these pon-_ derous documents and the listening to the ar- guments thereon consumed tho greator portion of the day, Occasionally a messenger was sent to the rooms of the Com- mittee for information, and, on obtaining none, the Conyentionadjourned from time to time. ALONG AnourT 4 o’cLocK the Credentinls Committee mado'thoir ap- pearance and presented three reports,—one recommending that thirty-six Palmer-House and fifty-six Faorwell-Hall delegates be ad- mitted; the second to throw out the Farwell- Hall delegates; and tho third to seat them, Then the musia began. Kirk Hawes, on behalf of the Farwell-lInll people, was ap- polnted to open and close the ease before the Convention, and he acquitted himself with a vigor that ‘attracted the attention of friend and foo allke. Ho indulged in no filghts of fancy, but confined himself to a closo and conelse- statement of the facts, Emory Storrs followed, and treated the truth ina fearfully fantastic mannor, Finally, on 19 cry for the prevlous questlon, the roll-call was ordered, and the first report was adopted by a majority of seventy-nine, which con- clusively showed that among tho Grant peo- plo wery over twenty delegates who belleved that justice was superior to party prejudice, ‘Thus was the fraud consununated, ‘Tho peo- ple of the First and Twelfth Wards were dis- franchised by the machinations of a amnll ring of bolters, Ied and encouraged by “ the gentloman from Jackson,” LOGAN’S GRAB, IT 18 ORDERED, Bpectat Dispateh to Tha Chicago Tribune, * Seniwnariztp, Ill, May 2,—Thomas’ amendment to Logan’s. substitute, which provided that tho Committec should simply select delegates-at-large, was defeated by 804 ayes to 889 noes, : roll was called on Logan's substitute, pro- viding for the appolntinent by the Chair ofa committee to-seleot district delegates and’ delegates-atlarge. This was adopted at 1 o'clook hy 880 ayes to 804 noes. ‘The Chair Immediately announced the Committee, which consisted of nineteen Grant nien, A motion to adjourn to 9a, mn. proyalled at 1:16, OREDENTIALS. ‘THE CONTEST CONTINUED, Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Beuoverrey, Ill, May 20,—The Commit- tee on Credentials mot this morulng shortly FRIDAY, after 8:50 o'clock, and took up the Cook County contest, Tho Chairman inquired It tho Farwell Inll delegation was rendy to submit to the pledge put through in the Con- vention yesterday, Kirk Iawes stated, on behalf of the dele- gation, that, after due deliberation, the whole natter was left to the judgment of the Com- mittee appointed to represent it. ‘That Co: mitteo had prepared TNE FOLLOWING ANSWER? Tho delegates from the County of Cook from tho regular Convention held at Farwell Hall, de= nying for thomaclyes and tholr constituents any Jawfl power in the Convention or in thin Come mittes to impose upon any contestant any ditions whatever precedent to Pennant ai ment according to uw and equity, atill do het by submit wndor protest. ta.the resolution, ar Understand it, of tha unorganized Convention, in which wo were not pernitted to take n part. ‘a8 tho only means left to provent tho throatened disfranchisement of tho Republicans of Cook County and the probable toss of tho State to the Republican enndidates, nwves added a verbal atate- To this Mr, ment. “It was but fair-to add,” he said, “the expression ‘the resolution as we une eee ae Ata mecting held in Chicago it was voted they were tho regularly-elected delegates, In thelr judgment, they would stand or fall to- gether,—03 to go Into the Convention, or to remain out. He did not state thisasu threat, but slinplyas nn explanation of their pa- sition. ‘They simply pnssed the resolution on the ground of right, without any reference to nny impression that {t might make upon the Committee in another directlun, ‘That resolution, in another form, had been passed twlee since they left Chieagzo. By appear {ng before the Committee and aeceding to the terms Imposed upon them, they wished It distinctly unieratood that if the Committee shoul be pleased to seat a portion of the delegation and reject a portion, It was left entirely to the option of the delegation whether that portion would go into the Con- vention ¢ x reinain out. THEY MIGHT RESCIND the resolution, and they might not, ‘They expected, however, that they should stand together, as ho understood ft now. Of course, If tho Committee rejected all, then thore was no ditileilty in the way... All that the Committee could ask, he thought, was that if it decided to Iet In 0 partand keep out n part, they might exercise thelr own discre- tion as ta any of them going Into tho Convention. They did not intend to create any disturbance, as had been Intimated, but simply to acbas men and as members of the Republican party, and do whatever thelr constituents desired them to do under all the circumstances, LEONARD BWETT, for the othor side, insisted that this was not acomplinico with the resolution, but: wus peralstently and mischievously evasive. Hav- Ing-passed two resolutions that they would not abide by the result, the Comimittes must undorstand the position of the other side. In short, Mr. Swett asked that thoy submit alt over again or submit nothing at all, and not come In with a declaration which meant nothing more nor less than they would sub- mitit thoy got’ ninety-two: votes, or bolt if they didn’t, Willard Woodard was given two minutes toreply. Headimitted the adoption of the all-or-nothing resolutions, and went on to say that the men in the Farwell I[all delegation were among the oldest and most tried Re publicans of Chicago, It was true that a fow of them had been led away by Leonard Swett and othera in 1873 [great Inughter), and that the other side was represented by about all tho legal talent of Chicago, Every ‘man in the Farwell Hall delegation, he con- tended, was as true and loyal to the prin-. ciples of the Republican party as any man in the State, Tho Committes nt first decided to im- mediately exclude all outsiders from tho room and determine among themselves whether the reply was in compliance with the pledge or not, They changed their minds, howover, and gave cach side half an hour to argue tho question. Mr. Swott repeated his previous assertions, and Elliott Anthony replied. It was nothing un- usual, he said, to go Into acontest under protest, and nobody could put a construction on tho motive of the Farwell Hall delegation. In contravention of all pariiamentary rules they had been excluded from participation In the organization of the Convention. EMERY. STORRS 5 closed for the other side, Theso delegates understood the resolution one way and tho Convention another way. If the decision was in thoir favor, they would abide by it, Other- wise thoy would not. No court in Christen- dom would Hsten to such pledge ns this, containing us itdid a mental reservation, In short, Emery wanted the Committes to go ahead as If no pledge had ‘been submitted. . ‘The Committes thought differently, how- aver, for they immediately proceeded to clear the room of all outsiders and to decide among themselves whother tho answer of the Farwell Hall people was 9 compliance with the resolution of the Convention and the resolution of the Committca or not, A RECESS. The Committee took ubout half an hour to discuss the question. At the end of that timo they took p recess for five minutes, and it was very speedily learned that thoy lind decided by a vote of eloven to six that tho reply of the Farwell Hall delegation was a compliance with the pledge, and that the Committeo’s duty was to go nhead and hear both sidegon the main question. On the reassembling of the Committee, the Chairman stated that thoy had decided to hear both sides, Muiting each to ono hour for testimony and arguments, On motion of Prince, It was furthor de- elded that ench side should first present its evidence, and draw lots as to which should open andclose in the argument. It fell to the lot of the Grant men to open and to the Far- well Tall men to close, LEONARD SWETT LED OFF for the third-termers. After dwelling upon tho subject of primaries {n general, he was proceeding to read an ofidavit of Potter Palmer when Eliott Anthony objected to the Committes hearing aflldavits In regard to tho rogularity of the primaries, The Committee decided, however, to let ench side present Ite case in its own way, after which it would decide as to the value of tho affidavits, - : Swett wont ahead with his aMdavit, In it Pottor recited that forty-two of his hotel em- ployés attempted to vote at the First Ward. He had previously expressed his own prefers ence ta them, but told them to yoto as they pleased, ‘Choy lived In the ward and lind a right te vote, but were refused such right by the judges. Besldes that, bis own life was frequently threatened. THE AFFIDAVIT of John Lyle King one of the judges, recited that forty Palmer House employés were _ro- decfed, though the hotel pay-rolls were offor- ed lo show their right to vote, Besides this, forty Irlahmon were taken on the word ot ‘rank Warren and voted in by the opposi+ tlon, while forty others .were driven awn who wished to yote the Grantticket, Ordl- narily this poll cast 600 Republican tickets, but on this occasion {t cast only 285, ¥rom this Mr. Swett Broce led to rend a mings of allidavits, already published, ‘on tho subject of repeators, together with othors notalready published, froin which it up- puared t about filty loads of repeators, akin is all about 70 Waters: were taken to @ First Ward polls @ opposition. Swett admitted, However, thit tho election was a very respectable ono for Chicago. He was opposed to CP emarlos an) way. an wished they could ba abollshed. Ife pro- ceeded In tho next piace to discuss the matter Lunantnously that, Inasmuch as’ MAY 21, of the Convention Itself, Me wanted ft understood that he had kept very cool, and. hadn't: {nimpedt up ona chair, or done any thing of that sort, After this uaklat allie sion to Dick ‘Tuthil, the pentt to pletiure the Convention ri qulet but Interested. apectat Hehad only reard one side of the row. Men who retired froma riot and 1, mob like that were in no sense bolters, If they had stad any longer they would simply have been disloyal to des ceney, and the Republlenan party was the pyr ty of dees cy. Republican Convention could properly countenance such imobs, but. should remurd them as they would a foul pes- lence, Beenuse of these rotous proceed- Ings, 1t would he but God Alnighty's Justice to shutout both sets of men, for thelr rotons proceedings ought to cease; but, taking things as they were, even on the showhy of Tus Tmuns there were Mfty-six anti-Grant and thirty-six Grant votes selected by the voters to the Comnty Convention. Swett very Ingenlously dropped off right there, and down, without explaining that Tue Trine: figures whieh he had quoted were, the o1 published the morning after the primaries were held, and, while correct as far as they went, were necesgarily Incomplete, and did not really show the actual inky of tha Convention when it met at Farwell Malt, STORRS FOLLOWED, submitting that all conventions, no matter of what eharacter, must be set In motion by some authority outside of the Convention itself, In this ease it was the duty of the Chairman of the County Central Comittee, who frequently, and of right, as Storrs understood, either named or noininated the ‘Ter porary Chairman, Ife then related, briefly, what occurred at the Farwell Hall Convention, ag viewed by Grant eyes, tnd at the Palmer House, cayinig that he would not dissuss the regularity of the Conventions, Neither one was tegtlar. Cor merits of the case, he said that th wanted'to ascertain. the will uf the people the Senntorial districts, upon these elections of delegates. It was decided In 1837 by thee State Central Committee that Cook County should not he known in the State Conyen- tion as Cook County. Mr, Storrs claimed that Grant delemites were elected fy the first, four Senatorial districts, In the oth- ers thoy hadn't claimed that they hod Q anojority and. didw’t claim it now, Ho wouldwt gay. who was responsible for the “riot? “at Farwell ‘Hall, thus practically adinitting that Singer was wrong. In conclusion, he sild he meant to be fair, and that all that was asiced for was the dele- gates it the Senatorint districts which the Grant men claimed and which they were en= titled to. ‘Lhe number was thirty-six. He submitted n certified cupy of the proceedings of the Palmer House rump. HURLBUT ASKED Lincoln how many dolegates thore were In tho first Convention, aud how many repaired to the Paliner House. Lincoln replied that there were 191 in all, and fifty-eight retired to the hotel. In.an- swer ton further question, he. adimitted that tho fifty-vight (led up the alleged Conyen- tion with people who were not elected, Jin- col next rend an’ affidavit by C. 1. Willett on the organization of the seven Senatorial districts, and Swett put In one by Willlam H. Reed showing (he vesult of the vote by Sen- atortal districts, ‘Chis closed their ense, THE REGULARS BTATEMENT, Kirk Hawea replied for the Farwell Hall delegation, submitting a number of altidavits from E. G, Keith and others as to the custom of calling conventions itt Cook County, Ags tothe alleged frauds’ at the primaries, he very clearly showed that the aNidavils sub- initted by the other sfde, signed by such un known men 15 McFadden, Fiynn,.0’Brien, and othor myths, made out some 900 votes alleged to have heen fraudulently cust in the First Ward, whereas the reat, number of votes cast was 40, Having shown this with regard to one ward, -he teomed It entirely unnecessary to’ show up the manufactured aflidavits ~ regarding ne others, TI Committee could not go back of this Conven- ton, and the lugging In of {he Senatorial dis- trict scheme was'a mere device by whieh the other sidy hoped to steal Into the Convention, ‘The call for tho Connty Convention directed +t to send ninety ye delegates from Cook County to Springlicld, and hy that call the Farwell Hail delegation would stand or fall, Hawes then referred to the published history of the Farwoll Hail Convention. That body was composed of as respectable a number of men as had ever gathered inn county con- vention. In thd Third Ward. the business- men turned out in the rain and defeated the Grant ticket by a large majority, Tho business men of all Chicago were in carnest about this matter. ‘The anti-Grant complexion of the Convention was stated to Sluger before it inet, and his reply was that he would not put the motion to nominate a Chairman whom the ant!-Grant men should name, UNDER THIS CIRCUMSTANCE, was itany wonder that the anti-Grant ma- Jority determined to nominate a Chalirmnn as Boon as possible? The Convention having been made up of regularly elected delegates, and Blugery haying called {t_ to order, it was his, business, as long as ho remained on tho pistform, to hear motions and put them, and he had no right to intllet upon the majority a Chairman whoin the majority did not want, “Elliott Anthony was nominated, but Binger refused to put the nomination, though,” caine from Sherman M, Booth, an yueoitested delegate from the Thirteenth ‘ard, Singer having refused to put: tha nominn- tion, Booth put it itimself, as he had a right to do, and deelared It carried, as tt was var- ried. “Chat thore was any riot such as had been deseribed, was false. When the. bolt- era” went ont the Committee on Credentiats Nad-in its possession all the credentials, exe cept those from the Fifth Ward and Itydo Park, which credentials Hawes now offered, In ovldonce,. It was absurd to say that Singer adjourned the Convention, Ho had no power to do ao, but merely called upon the Grant adjourn’ to the Palmer louse. netion” of =the Committea on Credentlils in reference to unseating the eleven Grant delogates was right in view of the facts regurding the election In the ward, where the rend senthinent of the voters was suppressed by huported votes and bulldozing. ‘The bolters were recognized when the wards wero called, byt they dit not respond, and he Convention could not il their places, nor did It attompt te do so, ‘There wore L4 lett, nnd the Convention was entitled to them, The Convention wag then divided into seven Senatorial distriets in order tociuch mutters, and those District Conventions RATIFIED AND CONFIRMED the delegates who now appeared and de- mianded thelr seats in the Convention, Ho denied the riot and confusion, and usserted that tho othor sido bolted sinnly bucanse they could not have thelr own Chairman, ani knew they were Ina ninorlty, saying, “Wo will appeal to Springticld, and there will be enough Grant delegates to wet ugin.”? Was dt any wonder that the Futwell-Hall peopta sald minoty-two or nothing? Hawes suid ho saw nien before hin who were defeated in his own ward, and who were now attempt 4 steal his sent ‘In tha Cons yentlon. Was it any wonder — that the Farwell Ilall men were not all lambs, svoking peace and composure? “Such a thing us the appointment of a ‘Temporary Chal man by the Chalrman of tho County Central Commilites was never heard of in Cook Coun. ty. ‘The precedents were all agalust it. 1f any men were responsible for what was termed the “riot” it was the men who bolted, - ‘fhe regulars were as good Repub- ilcans as there were in the State, and: were cluarly entitled to seats inthe Convention, If they were let in ‘ THERE WOULD BE PRACIE and composure, Ho did not want the Com- tiittes to resort to compromise, but to put all ‘dp or pnt alt out; and thelr reason for taking ‘this position was, not that they dil not want to compromise, ‘but becuuse they «ld not want to sut a precedent In Cook, that when a eortain class of mon were defeated they ema went on nf COUPSE NS 1 might somewhere vlsoand accomplish what thoy tried to accomplish before they bolted. Ele did not ask anything but whut was right. Jt those ninuty-two delegates were “kept out, Cook County was ir revocably lost” Not o single Con- ressional district could” be carried, entigmen might snoer, but this was as true asthat the sun shone, Holtera might cry “peace, but thoy were In a position where thoy felt asif they wanted peace and would take anything they could get. Of the Grunt men ‘Inthe Conunittee, who were designated as by thelr badge, he inquired whether they could afford to do this, Ho had never voted any other than Republican ticket, and never wanted to, but la kuew the feel! of the Republicans of Cook on this subject, and those feelings should be regarded. 1¥ THEY WERE NOT the proper delegution, let tho Committee say 1880—T'WELVE PAGES. 80, and they would go home. Let it pital in orput all out, Hawes elosed by smashing the Senatorlal district argument of the other side, In 1874. he said, delegates were hot elected by anette ilstricts, but ln 1873 the Atate Central Committee Invented them, and the County Convention that year adopted a resolution whieh showed that the sppor- tonment by districts was slinply for the convenlence of enlling the roll at Springs felt, The Patmer House people had put themselves on record by adopting a slm- ilar resolution reciting ‘that the ‘creation of Senatorial districts was inerely for the sake of convenietice, and that the Sinte Cen- tral Committee In so creating them had no ite. tention of Interfering with the action of tho County Conventions, Abner ‘Taylor stated that there was an antl- Grant majority of three tn the Firat Sen- atorhil District, He denounced as false from ning to end the atlidavits referring to ging oft repeaters and non-residents he men who signed them did not They were manufactured. He pro- y that he would pay 3100 aplece for every one of them who was produced in Swett’s ‘ofilee. Same in the room keiew the alidavits were false, Me was sttrprised at the statements inade by such a gentleman as Potter Palmer, who had sworn that the udges refused to lool: at his register show- Ing that the forty-two negroes lived in the ward. The truth was that the judges offered to Joni at it, and Palmer sent to his hotel for it, but the clerk «didn’t produce the book; he dared not do it, Mr Palmer had also sworn tint the protection at the pulls was torn own. + IT REMAINED THERE UNDISTURNED until the Monday after the primary, In view of such an aftidavit by stich a inan It heeame the duty of the Cominittes to seru- tinize the afiidavits of others. | Anthony closed the case, referring te the haste in {s- sulng the enll for the Convention, and the teket tricks resorted. to at the priniaries hy the Grant men, and then telling what actually occurred at the Convention,’ quoting from the Inter-Oceawa report to show that Singer satd, “The Grant delegates will adjourn to the Palmer House,” He contended that the Committee could not Inquire as to the pri- mirles, because the County Convention were the Judges of the quuililcation of its nembers. ‘The other side could not deny the regularity of the Farwell-Iall Convention, because they derived title from it A precedent was involved in the vase, fa bolt was encouraged upon 2 pretence so baseless there never would ben State Convention without the presence of beaten. delegations contesting the seats of members. Mr. Anthony, Jn conclusion; re- ferred to the consequences of refusing the tion adinission, saying they would be tL liststrous., He believed the Committee would say, upon consideration of the facts, that the Farwell [Mall delegation was theonly ane that should be adinitted to the Conven- ion, + Dixon denounced as false tho. afdayits sharainy. that the repeaters voted in the First Ward. He had Inqulred of members of both delegations, but could find no one whe knew the men that made them, The room was then cleared and the Com- initiec proceeded with the consideration of the case, beginuing thelr work at 1 o'clock. cook COUNTY CAUOUS. +A FORENOON CONSULTATION, Sprelat Dispatch to The Chteago Tribune, Srrinarie.y, May 20,—The regular Cook County delegation held another caucus In the Senate Chamber at 10 o’clock this morn- Ing, Gen. Bates _in the chalr and all present. Anthony said the Executive Committee had consulted togethor Wednesday night as to the method to be pursued when the man- ngers of the ease appeared before the Com- nilttee on Credentials, and a dovument had been drawn up with as much ingenuity as possible, stating that thoy protested against the action “of an unorganized body called a eonvention in which the. delegation had equal rights with the: others, but werd ..not. permitted to. take pa with them, ‘and that they submitted the case and were rcady to go on. The inanagers went before the Committee and presented the document, and it was objected to by the Palmer House party on the ground that It was not in compliance with the resolu- tlon passed by the State Convention. The Committee . . ORDERED THE ROOM CLEARED and were discussing the question whether tho paper could be construed Into a pledge committing the delegation to abide the action of the Convention, Tho document did not give away thelr rights as delegates, or commit them to any great extent, yet, at the same time, would enable the Committee te go on and hear the case.
