TT Jarger qualities than he would appear to con- tain, While in Congress ha courted Miss Chandter, and, marrying her, became the heir apparent of a largo fortune and coms fortable prospects, Notwithstanding thero were attempts made to bring out his fathor- |, In-lnw for President, and although Mr. Chandler was tnken into Grants Cabinet, yet Halo stood «fast to Binine and battled ‘for * him’ in 1876 “ns' now. When the Labor: and Greenback party made their unexpected advent in Maino Inst year, they defented Hale. But he Is hore to- day, rather changed in appearance, moro substantial, less Juvenile, with a strong ellpped benrd covering his Jaws, and n volca that soon breaks in a Iargo hall ike the pres- ent, but which, for 2 while, fsquite olear and plensing to hear. A BRIGHT AUDIENCE. ‘The applause which followed Inte showed clearly that the enormous mass of people in tho gallorles know every point that was being taken on the floor nnd the significance of St. They knew that Binine had large present prospects, and that if the business wore to proceed ond the delegates be held in thelr places, tho Grant men could not confer to- gether, ur go off to nny other candidate, and wat Blaine might become to-night the Re- publican candidate for President, BPARRING Foit WIND. _ Mr. Conkling made anothor speech rofer- ging to the seats boing without cushions, and, fm some cases, without backs, and sald that it mado but Iittle — differenco to those who did not appreciate comfort, but he bad gupposed it was botter to walt at onso in the city and about the hotels than to sit till 4 o’clock walting for the Committeo on Credentials, He then mado an attack In advance on tho finding of the Committee on Rules, which ho said had cooked up an ar- rangement to limit debate to five minutes, ‘This was the first tlmo the audience’ know that such was the conduct of the Committes on Rutes, and It was at once surmised that in order to break the fores of extensive speeches delivered by such nble men as Conkling, and also for keeping the debate from lasting too Jong, the Blaine men had resolved to curtail debate and rush to a ballot. IN A HURRY FOR BURINESS, Halo again arose and said 1¢ was entirely proper for a deliberative body to go to busl- ness before the ownership of each scat lind ‘been contested, and he pointed toward the case of Kellogg who sat in the Senate belng investigated os to lis election. IIe said that wo might walt for yenrs if wo had to stop until the valldity of each seat was fount out. The ruling of George Monr, Chairman, was rather In favor of tho Bialue side. Ho held that anything which was out before 2 committea was also in acertain view before tho Convention, and might be taken up here, ‘Then James F. Joy arose, with a resolu. tion to open debate on tho case of Cook County, Tlinols, by allowing the contestants thereto appear by such counsel as they chose tondduce, He wanted Bob Ingorsoll, the orator, to give Blnine’s case: Mr. Joy has just returned from Europe, and iss rather. broad-chestod man, with grayish white nair and beard. Ie has been ono of the railrond imagnates of the country. After a short, rambling. debate, In whieh twas shown that West Virginia and other States where delegations aro contested did not like to see precipitated this question, there was a call for the Committes on PERMANENT ORGANIZATION, -Atthis Mr. Pierson, of Albany, a largo.’ white-haired man with o fina healthy red skin, came tothe platform and announced what tha audlenco already know, -through Conkling’s ironieal remnrks, that the present temporary organization of the Convention was also to be Jts pyrmanent organization. ‘The report was adopted Ina yory few min- utes, and Air. Hoar mndo'as neara humorous specch o§ Massachusetta public men daro yenture, when he sald that, haying heard one speech from him that audience had had ‘with his oratorieal powers, Conkling had said thatin New England evorybody was an orator, ‘Therefore tho audicnes In little more than an hour found that two polnts of expected trouble were already passed,—the temporary Suen and tho permanent organiza- ns . Some amusoment and confusion were ore- ated by persons nuxlous to go down to history correcting the spelling of thelr names a8 .Vice-Presidents and Secretaries. One Vice-President was announced as George Washington, and in 9 few minutes some wag passed around o paper written, ‘ George Washington, the property of John Sherman, Will bo sold at pubiio auction Juno 8, 1880, for $1,500, cmployment money, pald by the ‘Troasury Department,” LOGAN AND FRYR. During these fugitive procoedings John Logan mounted on 9 bench and made 9 few remarks, There !s never much sensibility on Logan’s face, and to-day fio looked re- markably well-smoked, hls long black locks lying soapily down hisbrown face, buteven Ils yolce, used as itis to open-air speaking, summoned the shout of "Louder! from various parts of tho hall. Oceusionally = an engine betweon the lake and the hall, which aro only sepa- rated by a space a few yards wide, would go whizzing and groaning past as If it were the ghost of sone dead nation saylng; “ Young people in there, gu slow.” : Mr, Frye, of Matne, who, with Halo, dl- vides the responsibility of doing Afr. Blalne’s oratory, now relloved Hale, who had grown hoarge Jn trying to match the acreage of the hall with bis lungs, and proposed that the Committee’ on Rules should report.

A MINOUEY REVOLT, Heroupon Mr. Marshall Paine, one of tho. strongest mon in Conkling’s machine, a soldicr, and a good speak- er, who looks 9 ttle ike the foreman of a Now York fire company, and might ave been In other days a Davo Broderick or 4 Sherlif Brennan, stood up behind Conk- Yng and sald that he represented nina States whlch had a intuority report to offer, and had but juat come from the Committee, and had no Ume to present the report, He sald that with respectable privileges and tine to draw {t up, it would be sendy some time lator futhe day, On this Mr, Frye slowed some ttle want of confidence In Paine, seelng how closs Palne was to Conkling, and gald he would rather hear from the Chairmen of that Committes, Gan, Gartleld. QAuYIKLD, . As soon as Garflelt arose In bis place, there were enormous outeries of “Platform,” for the people evidently wanted to see .bim, as tho only porgon in tho present Conven- tion who has: been talked of and printed, about asm posstblo candidate for-Preshient of the Unlted States. Garfleld, - however, would not go to the platform, but, stinding onachalr, proved to have tho most effectual ‘volee In the whole body for audible declama- ‘thon there, It was not a voice of much com- pass or volume, but melodious and sweet, somewhat lika tho nature of the man who, wilh a certain schoolmastery quality, was al- ways beloved by his scholars, and one of them beeainc his wife. Garfeld, ty effect, confirmed what Paina had sald, and thon Frye moved an adjourn- nient till 6 o'clock, ‘This ‘was carried, but not before Conkling, Indwging in that Irony which Halo had said was his beat qualifica- tion, congratulated Mr. Bialne’s Ieaders on the mpmentous victory thoy Lad achleved, and the extensive and Jinportant business they had done before proposing the same thing ho had deslrodj—nn adjournment. There wasn gront hurrah hereupon, because the audience wanted blood and badinage, and thoy kept It up along while; and then thero were shouts for Frye to como back at Conk- ling. laalty, Frye mob on of sent and assured Mr, Conk! tng that at tho close of this Convention they would be glad to accept his congratulations on What was now staring him In tho face; and thereon Frye sat down; but the lintnense mudience took It to mean a threat of the’nomInation of Binine, and the: agnin roared and howled prior to passing out peaceably, CONNECTICUT, Marshall Jewell is anid to be - boom- ering clement in the Connecticut delegation.

I walked after the Convention with n strong Grant man from Troy, N, Y, and told hin that Mr. Conkling had. ‘bettor lose no time tn declaring for Edmunds, beenuse otherwise he would find Blaine: nominated before ho could wink. The gentleman proceeded to tell me how Grant could be nominated, “The Sherman men,” he sald, “ will voto with the Grant men on nny proposition to let in too many Blaine delegates, ‘Then wo have the Edmunds vote, the Washburne vote, and partof the Sherman voto to come to us when itecomes to be an issue between Grant ond Blaine.” : “But,” sald I, “while you are holding your Grant column together, expecting spnr- rows to full, deserters aro allpplng. from it all the while to Mr, Blaine. ‘The longer you hold out for Grant .the more Blaine men are running oiE Just after leaving this person [ mot + MAYOR STOKLEY, of Phitndelphia, an ardent friend of Gen, Grant, and hesald: “Blaine will be nomi- nated, Lum protty sure It is going that way now.” J looked inte tha Mayor's face to see if he was funning, but he sald again: “That iy the way It looks to me.
