The Only Vote of the Day Gives the Grant Men 318 and the Others 408, Impressions of Delegates as to Its Signifleanco and Grant’s Strength. It Is Not Believed that the Latter Will Get 300 Votes. The Credentials Committee Makes an End of Its Labors. All the ‘linois Contestants Admitted, Except Those in the Second District. The Regular Warmoth Delega- tion Get the Seats in Lou- 1siana, And the Grant District Dele- Igates Are Let in trom Kansas, Senator Logan Loses His Temper aud Makes an Exhibition of Himself. The Counterfeiting of Tickets to the Exposition Has Been we Commenced. ° It ts admitted ‘by al that the Exposition ‘Tiull is the best evor'provided for tho sittiugs of n National Convention. It ts admirably Jghted, well ventilated, and all its appoint- iments areas nearly perfect as ft ts posstblo tomake thei ino merely temporary struct- ure, At100’clock spectators began to strug- gle into the gulleries, “the band began to play,” and the low murmur of conversation was heard in evory part of tho great umphi- theatre, At half-past 10 o’clock two thousand peo- ple had taken seats, and the delegates begun. to drop in and ‘eccupy seats. Theso latter were very quiet, There did not appear to ba any caucuslng, although thoy knew, overy- one of them, that tho actlon of to-duy, In which they were soon to tale part, would, without doutit, conclusively dotermine the question of Gen. Grant's candidacy, and, ‘in all probability, dotermlno it ad- ‘versely. In view of ‘this. fact, there Was perceptible a feeling of regret at ‘being compelled .to dofest a man who jhds deserved. go well of his country, in ‘deference to a principle of paramount im- |portance. But tho determination to sacrifice ‘the man and preserve the pritieple could bo ‘geen in the faces of delegates, At 11 o’clock-the galleries were nearly full, and half the delegates had taken seats, The muurinur of low conversation had become a Joud buzzing roar, resembling the music of tho-ocoan tides, and knots of dolegates wero collected in all parts of the floor in animated consultation, The galleries contained a aiuch Jarger sprinkling of ladies than on Wednesday, and the brilliancy of tholr cos- tumes relleved the dull effect produced by thousands, of . black-und-dirty-yruy-coated gentlemen. At the rear of the platform jthere appeared 9 delugation of female suf- fragists, They‘ attracted a large shure of ‘attention, and were made the subject of “numerous good-natured jokes, At balf-past 11 o'clock there was a shout of applause, and, looking down the main alslo of the delegate floor, one could see Senator Conkling walking slowly toward his seat ‘near the frout. He looted vory handsome, ‘and bowed right and left vary fully, and ‘the httle bevy of admirers by-whom ho was {ourroundod looked very proud of.their chiuf, 'But the New York membor of the Syndicate |; ‘}ooked ‘worn, and haggurd, and yery’anxious, The amile which irradiated his ‘focotn re sponse to the cheers died away, with thd bub, stdanco of the appluuse, and was replaced by’ 8 frown which forcibly exprogketi tho des- porate character of tho situ rwhich he would be called shortly to -fose; Nobody wanted the Convention called: tegrder at 11 o'clock, nor & half: hour” es for it was mown that the Credentisly Ggminittec was ‘etl in session, and not. report; and the clock marked 11, and Ahree-quartors before the ‘ gavel ot the’ presiding oMlcer struck the desk. Then it took Aquarterof on hour to clear tha delogato floor proper of soms bundyeas of intruders, | Tho ushera were vory uetive, and the in- truding spectators were versiinactive,. They hid themselves Sway in coruers, and tried jn vain to elude the:eagle eye:of tho usher-in- chief. He was, However, inéxorubio, and the 2 wont bioadLly Forest, process of elit until not one wag left, When the Rey, Dr, Noble iene forward ta invoke the diving blessing, the loud buzz of :President and Secretary. : ‘half an hour to dot all the “is” and cross JUNE ‘4, 1880—TWELVE 7 conversation ccased, and there was no sound heard except the muffled tramp of the latest comers secking seats. When the reverend gentleman concluded in the simple phraseol- ogy of “tho Lord's Prayer" there was al- moat absolute silence. Immediately Mir. Conkling rose and In- quired whethor the Credentials Committes were ready to report. Being Informed that they were not, ho movad to adjourn to 6 o'clock. Mr, Inte made tho polnt of order that the motion wns debatable, and the point was sug- tained.’ Whereupon he spokg In opposition to adjournment, inaking. tho point that the delay of the Credentials Committeo in re- porting ‘need not deter the Convention from proceeding with its business, He showed from the records of the Convention of 1870 that such was tho course ‘then under pre- cisely slinilar clreumstances, He urgod that the motion to adjourn be voted down, and that the Convention proceed to consider the report of the Committee on Pormanont Organization. Conkling rose to reply, but he was request- ext to postpone his rematkg until tho dele- gate-flour could bo cleared 6f non-members of the Convention. At this point there was considerable confusion, The banished apec- tators of half an hour ago bad edged their way back to thelr old places, and the ushers were compelled to exercise thelr office upon thei once more. Conkling rose once dur ing the clearing process, but the Chair- man rapped him down, declaring that the business of the Convention would not pro- eced until the delegate-tluor should be abso- lutely cleared of intruders, “When this had been accomplished, the gentleman from New York again got upon ‘his feet and opened with a sneer at Ilale, remarking sarcastically that he was glad he had made the motion to adjourn, {f for no other reason than that the motion hud been tho means of giving the Convention “the pleasure of listening to the ¢-l-o-q-u-c-n-t speech of the gontleman from Maine”! Thon he’ entered a complaint against the uncushioned seats, and begged for an adjournment, wiilch would enable hin to seek n softer chatr at his hotel until ‘| Go’etock. ‘Those facetious preliminaries be- {ng disposed of, the gentleman from New York proceeded to ndyocate his motion on its merits, argulug that, ag it was an open secret thnt the temporary organization would be minde \permanent, the perfecting of !t would not advance business to any appreciable extent, and closing with sarcasm flung at the head of the g-en-t-l-em-in f-r-o-m M-o-bn-c. Mr. Hale rose to reply, and was greeted with great applause, Ho mounted a ecbalr, and, ignor- Ing. tho sneers and sarcain of Conkling, went straight to the heart of the question, showing conclustvely that it was competent for the Convention to proceed with its business, and adyisable to do so, with the ylew of hastening to a conclusion, Then, turning townrds Conkling, he said,. with great offect: “I shall ndtrhter upon the field‘of irony and: sarcgiatiy fy) svhich the gen-_ tleman from Now York 1s aa Yreatly dlstin- guished, If Iam {n better:temper than the getitieman from New York the Cojvention is’ mware of tho reason of my greater amiability.” With this parting shot ho sat down the recipient of a round of deafening and long prolonged cheers. . Considerable confusion hore ensued In re- ‘gard to a motion. by Joy, of Michigan, that the. IllInois contestants be allowed to be heard by such counsel as ‘they might desire before the Convention; A-motion was made to Iny Joy’s motion on the table, and sovoral polrits of order wero raised, one by Camp- bell, of West Virginin, and oue by Logan, or Illivols, ‘These points were overruled, and the Chair, being unable to. decide the viva voce yote qn the motion to table, was about toorder a call of the roll, when the motion ‘was withdrawn, ‘Thon the permanent or- ganization was effected, after tho correction of numerous errors In tho.names of guntle- mon designated for the positions of Viico- It required nearly all the ts, at the end of which painful opern- tion the report of tho Committee was adopted without opposition, In.the roll of Vico- Presidents the namo of “Long” John Wentworth appeared, It is emi- nently - probable that -his term of oftice will bu very bricf, This common bo- Met created a ripple of morriment at the ex- pense of the clongated gentleman from the First District, who was defeated at the pri- mary in the First Ward as o candidate for delegate to the State Convention, Upon the adoption ofthe report of the _ Committee on Permanent Organization, tha ‘Temporary President was transformed Into the permanent presiding officer, Mr.‘Hoar, in acknowleding tho honor, made a brict speech of a facetious character, whloh was gracefully made and generously recelyed by the Convention, There was » moment's pause. But lt was only fora moment, Fryo,of Matne, rose and moved that the Committee on Rules and Or ‘dor of Business be Instructed to report, 1t looked us though the contest was about to begin; ay if the unit-rule question was about tomake {ts oppeurunce ‘in the Convention, Sharpe, of Now York, sprang to hia feet and secured the Jnstant recognitjon of the Chair, ‘Ile desired to make a minority report, but ‘had had.no time to prepare it. le stated that St had been greed fn Comunittee that the ml- nority. should have time to prepare thoir roport,—in a word, that the niajority report should not bu calicd for until such reasoua- blo, tine had elasped. Fryo demanded to know the exact nature of the agreement from the Chalrman of the Committee, This called up Gen, Garfleld, As he roso there was a loud shout of ap plauae, end many appeals to have him mount the platform, lo compromised by gatting upon a chats, When hisleonine head be came visible to the sudience there was an- rother hearty round of applause,’ It ts diMcult to. describe Gartleld, beyoud saylug he looks ‘ites ® very able pudagog. Ho ts above the mediym hight, bkogd shouldared, bluff and hearty, hag longy: thick, bushy, light brown hal, and a full beards: Ho Js ablghly intel- Jectual man, but ho date 4dgk jt; he looks like a nan with’ the courage ta, convio- tlons, but {hat ls just what he don" fa} DOs seas. 1n a controversy he froquently tra please both sides. Ho hag Vigor-and deat PAGES. but he {6 apt, after he has carried the enemy's works and placed his feet on the parapet, to reflect moment, and then Tetire and call off his forces, But Senator Garfield is a brainy man, and, as he stood on achair near the centre of the delegate-tloor, ho recelyed an ovation of which any man might be proud. His voice ia clear and strong, and he explained in a few clear cut phrases the position of alfairs in the Committee on Rules, in accordance substantially with the statement of Sharpe, of New York; whero- upon Frye promptly withdrew its motion, and the fight on the unit-rule was postponed. And he supplemented the withdrawal with o motion to adjourn until Go’clock in the after boon. But Conkling had not vented all his spleen. He jumped to his feet, or rather rose @racefully, for he goes not jump to his feet, as the impetuous Frye does, and in his most polished manner sneeringly congratu- lated his friends from Maine ou thelr happy issue outof all thoir ‘afflictions, speaking of the momentous, portentous nature of tho business accomplished. Before he had quite dropped upon his uncushioned seat Frye was mounted on a chair. With a great emlle (no other word than “great” fitly describes it) oversprending his homely yel- low face, Frye thanked Conkling for lila con- gratulations, and expressed the hope, stil! siniling brondly, that at the close of the pro- ceedings of the Convention the gentleman from New York would have the pleasure of renewing his congratulations to his friends from Maine. It was an admirable retort both In manner and matter, and the effect was electrical. The vast audience heard every word and greeted the mot with a great shout of qpplause. Just thon was an excel lent time to adjourn, and at 1 o'clock pro- cisely the gavel fell, and the Convention took a recess till 5 o'clock, At& o'clock In the afternoon the great Con- vention Hall was more crowded than on any previous occasion. The gallertes were very nearly full, and tho delegate floor showed but few absentees. But everybody knew that when tho Convention should come to or- der it would have nothing to do but wrangle over the much-talked of report of the Com- inittee on Rules and the Order of Business, So the delegates chatted and Inaughed,—some of thenr Inughed, but they were not Grant delegates,—and the peoplo in tha galleries amused themselves in looking at this and that distinguished man; and the ladles walted on the tip-tue of expectation for the arrival of Mr. Conkling, .A half-hour passed away, when at5:300'clock Mr, Hoarrapped the Con- vention to order. Ienderson, of Lowa, caught the eve of the Chairman and moved that the Committee on Rules bo in- structed to report, prefacing it by the state- ment that the Committee on Credentials would not be prepared to report at the pend- ingsesslon. Gen. Logan mounted a chair to oppose the motion. He looked very black, but very patriotic, Why this haste? In- quired “the gentleman from Jackson Coun- ty.” le then proceeded to make a stump- specch In favor of fair play! Ile pleaded fervently for harmony, conciliation, and de- liberation, and especially for that spirit of concession on the part of the majority which tends to strengthen the bonds of party fealty. ft wos observed that the “gentleman from Jackson County” had materially changed his views since the episode of the Republican Stato Convention of-Illinois! In_the midst of Gen. Logan’s harangue, Mr. Conk- lng walked: with slow and measured tread up tho long alsle, Ie was so very deltberato that he had the appearanes of great infirmity, as if still suffering froma late affiletion of gout in every part of lis beautiful frame, Of- conrse-he. was recelved with quite an ovation ‘of-chaers; and, much to the chagrin of the swarthy Senator from Illinois, one of his finest porlods—somothing about justice as be- tween man and man—was utterly drowned in the applause lavished upon the great man of tha. Empire State. But Mr. Conkling could not be induced to shut off the applause: by sitting down, Ue remnlneu standing by the side of ex-Collector Arthur a minute or 60, and roiled the sweet morsel under his tongue, so to speak. And It was quite plain’ that. hoe enjoyed the discomfiture of his- brother “Consul” of Illinols. Foramoment thore was a merry twinkle In his eye, and he glanced up at the Indies in tho gallery a3 he Is wont to do in the Senate when he has sent a centre-shot at a jinted rival. The gal- Jories grew very Impatient with Mfr, Logan while ho was indulging in demands for ;justice, and they jeeringly and- tauntingly erled “Springtlold! Springileld!” Then. tho General retorted at the gallerios, uttering asharp defiance, and—got off his chair, Llenderson responded with terrible effect, quoting Logan’s remarks that there should be no- riding rough-shod over the rights of minorities, declaring’ In scornful accents that thero had been too much of It, This sally was greoted with ringing applause. In conclusion, he stated that ho believed that the minority report was ready at the opon- ing of the morning session, Boutweill, of Massachusetts, rose to oppose the motion, but yielded the floor ton delegate, wh@denounced. the statement of Ienderson in regard to the time of the completion of the revort of tho Committes on Rules as a misrepresentation, ‘This caused great confusion. Three or four delegates wero up appealing to tho Chair and thundering statements and counter statements at his devoted head. But he had tho advantage of them, for:his gavel is a nolsy bit of wood, and in this instance it soon brought peace, Gov. Boutwell emerged. from tho indiée and was understood to dis- cuss the merits of the proposed rulos rather than: tho question whether the- Cominittes ought to be instructed to report.. Mr, Ben Harrison, of Indiana, spoke in the same strain, Hs volce is not stroug enough fur the hall, and the impression he made was rathur dluappoluting, not equal to his reputation a3 & public speaker, Henderson ‘got the floor aguin and robuked the previous speakers for wandering from tha question and wust- ing the on what would havo to be gone over again when the roport should bo pre- sented, Then Sharpe, of New York, got tho floor, and very frankly admitted that tho ro- port of the minority: of the Committee on Rules had’ been tucked away in hia pocket all day, thua sustalulng the statement of Hondersan which had created such a hubbub, Ho Insisted, however, that there was au Agreement that the reports on rules—-majority and ninority allke—should not be submitted to the Convention until that of the Commit tos on Credentials had been considered, And hoe moved, a8 substitute for the pending motion, that the Coimuittes on Credentinis be Instructed to report, Gen. Garfield again explained, as he had already doye dur- ing the morning session, that thore was an Agreement that the Committes wayld not voluntarily sulmlt its report until thd,Com- iiltteo on Credentials had’ reported; but. stated further that it was remarked at the tine of tho agreeinunt that the Comuittes had-no power to provent the Conventlon from calling for It at Sts pleasure, Conkling urged the adoption of the substitute of hls collcague, Sharpe, in-a long speech on the arity, quite free from sarcasm. Uo trled evidently to remoyo tho bad Impression he had created by his very pronounced tone of sneuring lrony on all former occasions, Hen- derson rejoined dna sensible spegeh, In which: he dewollshed’ Conk!ing’s positions one by. oye, ‘The question belng submitted, Sharpe demanded a call of the roll, Ay he sat +) by tho side of Conkling, that.astute gentlo- man must have advised that course. It was certainly very bad tactics, foran opportunity was thereby afforded to the opposition to Grant to unify and concentrate thelr forces, It is always dangerous, to. give factions an ocension to vote together, The habit onco formed ia Ike all otuer habits—its power Is Increased by indulgence. The roll-call was sure, too, to precipitate the question of the unit rule, and, without established rules of proceeding, the Chairman had power to en- force the right of tho individual to cast his Vote regardiess of Instructions. ‘The first State called, necordingly, furnished on Illus- tration of thisfact, ‘The Alabama delegation, by thor Chairman, cast the full voto of the State for Sharpe's substitute, whereupon acolored delegate protested, and hils vote was recorded “No.” The calling of Kentucky resulted in tieevent of the session. The Chairman reported the vote as 24 for the substitute, But Hubbard jumped upon a chatr, and jn stentorian tones protested against the record belng made. Thora was great confuston, and he could not he heard, except to sny that there were four delegates from Kentucky who desired to vote “Nol” There were cries, “Show yourselves, show yourselves!” Whereupon three other dele- gates ‘sprang upon chairs, and the four ex- claimed, “We aro the Stalwarts of Ken- tucky!’ This demonstration of nerve and pluck brought down the house, There was Jong and foud applause, and waving of handkerchiefs, and exultont — shouts, In vain the Chairman pounded tho desk with his gavel, When order was final- Jy restored there was nothing left of the unit tule. Asthecall of States and Territorles Proceeeed It became evident that the motion of Sharpe was doumed' to defeat by a hand- some majority. Only five States appeared solid for the third term, and this meagre column was modestly reinforced by the Dis- trict of Columbian. The “solid” South split into small pieces, The spontancous third-term boom was a wreck! In a total vote of 7H, the syndicate was able to muster only 318, and this aggregate, ineluded ‘tho solld vote of Vermont! When the contests shall have been decided tho Grant ship will be found stranded on a total vote of considerably less than 800, The Pennsylvania and New York indepenent delegates stvod firm. When Mr. Conkting rose he sald: “Iam Snstruct- ed to cast 47 votes for and 23 votes against the propusition.” North Carolina gave 15 votes against toS votes for the substitute. Tennessee showed a break of seven froin Grant, Texas a break of seven, and Virginia abrenk of eight. It was a test vote, and neither party cared to proceed further in the matter, A delegate from Connecticut made a harmonizing speech, and at its conclusion moved to lay tho original motion on the table, which was carried without’ a contest and the Convention adjourned to the hour of 10 o'clock to-day.

New Hampshire is instructed for Blaine, but thore isa warm feellng for Ed- niunds in that delegation, and Rhode Island Is algo for Blaine.” “How came that to be instead of going for Edmunds}? “Well, the reélection of Burnside to the Senate absorbed general attention, and oneot ~ Blaine's sharp, shrewd fellows, who had got into trouble with the Administration, quictly turned in and carried the ‘Convention for + Blaine.” “Burnside and Conkling are not friends?” “No; but Anthony, who Is Burnside’s friend, is the warmest of Edmunds’ friends. I should not be surprised I¢ your prediction » yesterday were true, that it might come to be ‘a final struggle between Edmunds and Sherman, Blaine’s men would be “proba- ble to resent the nomination of any othor New England candidate.” Ido not sce any Prospect now for -Washburne,” added tho Major, “but those hundred votes for Shor- man make hin formidable, and, held to gether, will make It very convenient to cross to him from any other camp.” “What Is there of Windom’s case?” “Nothing at all, The news came to Washe ington that BIll King, of Minnesota, a very active polltician, formerly Sergeant-at-Arms : of Congress under Blaine, was getting tho : State for Blaine. On this the suggestion was made by Conkling that Windom would. be a° good candidate, and the anti-Blaine news-+ papers caught it up and made a feeling ‘in Windom’s favor at home, so that he did the Minnesota delegation.” Col, A. K. McClure, of Philadelphia, sald, as hetook his seat: “Grant is beaten, Blaine would be nominated to-day if they took a ballot. He has as many votes as Grant now, ' and Pennsylvania is weakening. The con- test here will be to create discussion, and keep it up, so that Grant's lenders may mect to-night and come to another.cholce, But Binine's chances are first-rate.” As magnificent an audience as ever assem bied since tho Roman Coliseum filled every seat and alltho standing room of the vast depot.
