From the Grant yote should be oliminated the Vermont delegation, 10 votes, SB votes from Ohlo, 3 from Minnesota, and a few scatterers, who did not believe it was within the scope of the Convention to ordor tho report of the Cominittes tntil after tha final organization of the Convention, The Graut people WERE SATISFIED with tho result, ng the face of the returns showed to tho non-political public a greater strength than thoy really possessed, That it was done for the purpose of getting an ap- proximate show of hands fs evidenced by the action of the Convention on the motion of Brandagee, of Connecticut, by which the motion of Henderson was Inid on the table, * After tho evening adjourninent the mathe- matical Prestdent-makers busied themselves very earnestly with pencils and tabs In making analyses of the vote, with the hopo of determining by whom and what majority the race would be won, There was A SUASM OF RENEWED VIGOR among theGrant lenders, though thelr retatn- ers found no consolation, and porsisted in sit- ting around headquarters with about as little Backbone as an anglo-worm. Tha Blaine and Sherman people, asa rule, were more hopeful, though the leaders feared that In the tinal throes of the fight, when the Grant peo- ple discovered after two or three ballots that thelr full strength had been. polled, thoy would maken break in favor of Edmunds or some candidate not positively in the field, tho reference to the Intter meaning Garticld, of Ohio, more than any one else, : THE POSSIBLE ACTION of the Convention on the majority repert of tne Committee on Credentials, recommend- ing tho unseating of the Pinchback delegation from Louisiana, the seating of eighteen delegates tn Illinols and four in Kansns, was discussed at great length, and formed an important tactor in tho calculations of the shrewder politicians, many of whom thought it would. bo a dangerous precedent to make any changes In the roll _as figured up on the faco of the returns by Secrotary Keogh. ‘There were others who believed that the adoption of the report would introduce A DISTURBING ELEMENT, ‘Most of tho calculations had been made on the basis of the returns ns announced by the press previous to the assembling of the Con- tion; the politiclans iad become used to the timures; the Grant strength was regarded as about constunt, while thatof the opposliig candidates was shifting here and there from hour’ to hour, ‘To introduce a disturbing factor that was Ilable to add to the complications already: existing, 80. far as the autlthird-tarn candidates was concerned, was regarded in_ many quarters as decidedly Inexpedient, and th! 5 linpres: sion the slick workers on the Grant sido took pretty good cure to Inculeato wherever they found willing listeners. among the dele- gates opposed to then. A PECULIAR FEATURE of tho gampatzn is that the managers of the three leading candidates. are practically agreed as to the strength of the third-term boom, but in respect to the following of Blaine and Shermnn thera $s a wide divergence of opinion, and the friends of the latter two claim wore than a strict exantination of the figures: will warrant, ‘The third-term strength ag- gregates between 275 and 280 votes, and over these figures there js no dispute among the well posted, Somo of Binine's enthusiastic friends claim for the “Plumed Knight” rom $20 to 325 ballots on tho first roll-call, ‘This isn good niany inore—probably Ofty— - thon n careful analysis will disclose. ATTEMPTED FUSION, Some efforts wore aguin made yesterday to forn a fusion between Indiana and Ediunds on the basis of Harrison for second place, with tho hone that when tho break comes, 23 cone It wil, the entire Grant strength will go to the combination, and thus give tho nomination to) Edmunds, ‘The manipu- lator of ‘this plan clalmed that the Windom people would secape the situation and join Franus to clean out both Blaine and Shermun. As far ns con benscertained, the overture was not fruitful In results. Z THE GARFIELD MOVEMENT. ‘There has been a good deal of whisporing golng ‘on about ‘a combination to give the nomination to Gartield by & fusion of the Grant ond Sherman people outside of Ohio, provided the delegation from tho Buckeye State will stand firm by Sherman until the tine comes to swing to the other man from Ohio.

THR COMMITTER ON CREDINTIATS got together again at 11:15 o'clock yesterday morning In the club-room of tho Sherman Houge. Judge Conger called the body to or- der at that tine, The Secretary, Mr. Fessen- den, of Connecticut, thon called the roll by States, when it was found that all were pres- ent except Arizona, Loulsinna not being ron resented. The Chairman then stated that the Committee would take up the regular busi- ness, which was the pending motion regard- ing the admission of the delegates contesting tho sents In the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth, and Seven- teonth Congressional Districts, There was a discussion ns to the mode of procedure, tho consideration ‘being thon all the contested districts oxcept the Second.

Mr. Bateman sald that if tt was proposed to unseat the delegates from the Second Dis- trictand the delegates-at-large he wanted to ave w word to say. ‘Tho Chair stated thatit lind been decided to allow no further debate on tho subject, but the nine districts mentioned only would bo voted on then, Mr, Clayton, of Arkansas, moved that tho entleman (Mr. Bateman) be allowed to speak. Mr, Bateman—Inasmuch a3 itis not pro- posed to unsent the delegates from the Sec- ond District and the delegates-at-large, Ido not ask to bo heard at this time, Senntor Mitchell, of Oregon—Referring to tho matter brought up by the gentleman from Oblo, I desire to say that after the question of the pending motion fy declded Ishall move to nllow the present delegates from the Sec- ond District to sit, and thus settle the matter. Mr. Chandler—I propose to have that ques- tion settled at the proper time, * Mr, Raum—Before tho roll !s called Ide sire to offer an amendment, A member—Tho Sceretary has commenced to call tho roll. A motion ts now out of or- der. Mr, Raum—I do not desire to maken mo- tion, Mr. Chairman. I simply desire to amend tho original motion so as to Insert “that the names of the delegates of tho ‘Thir- teenth District be stricken out” ‘Mr, Bateman suid that the rules did not event the Committes from getting light on je subject. He would like to know the rea- son Gen. Taum had to excepttho Thirteenth District in the motion. The Chatrman—I haye no other duty than to follow tha rules of the Committee. Mr, Bateman moved that Mr. Raum be given five minutes’ time to explain. Judge Blake, Montana—I hope the motion will not prevail. Mr, Clayton—1 hope. that unaninious con- sent be given to Gen. Raum to explain his amendment, and then there will be no ne- cessity for this motion. There was no. tinnnimous consent given, however, but tho motion of Mr. Bateman was carried, Gen, Raum then explained that In the Thirteenth Congressional District In_ the Convention there were twenty delegal favorable to Gen. Grant, and nineicen agalnst him. ‘They met to select names for 9 set of delegates. Some timo during the night uno of tho delegates who favored Grant took sick and went home. and left his alternate in Is place, who favored Blaine, thus CHANGING THE MAJORITY TO THE OTHER BIDE, Judge Black, of Montana—Tho gentleman snt ere all of last night and listened to tho arguments of eminent autorneys ant he stafed that, with the exception o! tho district represented wy Gen, Raum, all were repre- sented by witnesses, Ho proforred to hear tho testimony of. witnesses, Instwad of taking this mere statement, tr. Bateman didn’t care how much time was allowed for ths inquiry. He had come there to seo fal¥ play. Ifthe facts were is Gen, Raum hed stated he favored hisumend- men! ‘d Mr, Codman, of ‘Massachusetts, was in favor of giving consideration to tho state ment made by Gon, Raum. He asked Gen Rann if he knew anything {n regard to tho matter of his own personal knowledge. ‘Tha Fentianan replied that he knew nothing of the matter, except us he had got it {from the statements made. Mr. Chandler, Now jismpenire Ty suggest that we omit the Thirteenth District in’ yot- Ing, and that wo consider it hereafter. There being no objéction, the roll-call was proceeded with on tho pending question, which was to ndmit tho contestants from the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, ‘Tenth, and Seventeenth Congressional Dis- tricts, and insert thelr names with those of the alternates In tho credentiais of the State of Illinois In teu of those now altting. ‘The yote resulted as follows: Years, 31; nays, 14; ubsent, Arizona and Louistana, ‘Vho vote by States was ay follows: Lou Callfornit Conncotlout, Touweree Goorgta, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, 10, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississipp!, Nebraska, Novada, Now Hampshire, Now Jersoy, North Carolina, Ohio, reson, Rhode Taland, Vermont, Weat Virginia, Wisconson, Dakota, District of Cotumbia, Iituho, Mow Now Nexico, Utah, ‘Wasatington—3I Wyoming. i WAYS, Alabam: Arkans Gatorndoy Borne” Miinols, Koutucky, Maryland, Missourt, Now York, Yonnsylvanta, South Caroling, Wonnessce, Toxua, Virginia—H, Mr. Chandler then snid that ho desired to move, pro forma, that the Conmnittes recom. mend to the Convention that they strike ont the Second Congressional District, and that the Convention do not adinlt tho delegates- atlarge from the State of Ulnols, ‘There had been presented the night before to tha Committee tho eredentials of tho delegates from the Thirteenth District, and there was no evidence produced to castany doubts upon thelr clection, If the contrary Were shown, he would not yote to adinit the contestants, from tho Thirteenth District If a Grant delegate had been changed by the substitu. tlon of o Binine alternate, then he would favor tho retention of the allting delegates, He moved that they recommend tho admission of | the contesting ele gales from tho Second District, and that they recommond to the Convention the unseuting of the dolegates-at-large, and re- por} then as not entitled to seats, ‘The Chair ent that this motion would have to be taken ‘up separately, as Jt included two propositions, Br. Chandler sald that ho had made tho motion pro forina, and he was fe uz to speak to it, and also in Tuspect to the delegation, nearly all of which had been adunitted to seats, und also in favor of the contestants, Ia wanted to explain, however, that ho wus willing to withdraw hls motion if he saw ilt, orto vole against It, lo wanted to hear the senso of thea Committe on the subject, It was important that should be © vole on the fo. that the Convention might proceed {nthe transactions of Its business, Hv was golng to speak in regard to the INnols Stato Convention, but In this connection he destred to say that he had no remarks to inoke in regard to the honorable gentleman who had presided ot that Convention, Jf the work done at Springtolt was notall that could be desired, all must concede that it was dono courteously by honorable ntleman who had presided, and if ho (Chandter) was to be decapitated politically when he was in the major ty ho desired that Gen, Raum should do tha decapitating, He held that the majority of te Illnols Con- yentlon was, TAKKN AWAY FNOM THOSE TO WHOM IT NKLONGED by those who were not entitled to it by trickery, dovelt, and chicanery, He belleved that tho plot had been conceived in Chicago to overthrow the majority of the State Con vention when it was found that Cook Count: had gone ugulist Grant, ng had been stated jn the memorial. He believed that memorial and those who presentad i. If was a plan subject concetved to savo tho Illinois Convention to Grant at all hazards, Grant’s friends had d{scovered that when Cook County ind elected ninety-two antl-Grant dele- gates tho Stato ‘was lost for Gran’ and It owas tho first timo thal a_claim of representation by Senatorial districts was set up in Cook County. Revre- sentation In Cook Connty, he held, was noyor heard of in that way ‘and it-had nover before been known in all tts history, Ho further charged that the Farwell Hall bolt was deelded upon and mado because the knew that tho ninety-two men to be selected would be anti-Grunt when thoy got to Spring- fluid. ‘The Paliner Ilouse proceedings wero, atich as had beon untieard of before, where forty-eight mon selected a full delegation of defeated delegates to represent Cuok County and to select a delegation to ro to Sprinj field. ‘They had nota shadow ofa right to select. ninety-two men, When they got to Springfield thoy looked ovor tho situation. "they found that if they admitted the fifty-six delerates against whom there could be no contest there would bo « nisfority against then. So the entire ninety-two legally. elected delegates were excluded from vot ing. And, If the fifty-six had. been, the whole ninety-two would have had thelr places aud a minjority that thore was nl- leged In the Convention on the other sido would have been wiped out, ‘Tho Conven- tion swept away'a large majority by atrocious and {legal means, Ifo (Chandler) would bo false to his own character if he did not pro- claim it here in the Committee, If this mode of procedure was followed in Repub- Iican conventions, in this State it would soon brenk the Republican party tontoms, io dld not belleve in favoring, the adinission of: the four delegates at large. But he favored harmony, and lig was willing to go a great way for the good of the Republican party. It wns a question of dis- trict representation which was at stake, but that wns not the only one, It was also a uestion of principle which ho should fight for in the National Convention, . Io did not believe In too hard a panlshinent, They could be disbarred from the seats which thoy had no right to claim, but the admission of thetn was reprimand enough. He was will Ing to admit them for the sake of forbenr- Anee, and because at the same State Conyen- tion at which - these gentlemen were selected there was also nominated 9 State teket, and that fact alonu prevented 9 rupture of tha party. And if they ndininistered this sc- yers rebuke of exclading. them it might lose to the party the.

It might do for the newspaners to make these charges, and say that the State Con- vention was fraudulent “and = when the gentlemen entitled seats filled them their right should not be disputed in this Committee, ‘They had the assurance of the Chairman of that Convention that tt was fair, and he would as soon belleve the Chatr- man as the men struggling for a place on tho delegation. He lind not a word to say agalnst the gentleman from New Hampslitre, « Tho Cominittes sat ag a court of justice, and he would Snsist that the gentlemen were ontitled fo thelr seats of right and not by graco or var. Mr. Bateman, Ohio, said he was a stranger to the contest in Hlinois, Ho was sorry that the feeling should have been: brought into the Committes, ahey were charges which should not come into a court of jus- tiee, and they should apply ' tho the principle of judacs to themselves, Tho Inols Convention was entitled to honest judgment and respect. He was not willing to interfere with it, and he was willing to fenve it nll to the honorable men wlio com- posed the Convention, He was unwilling to open the question. He opposed the seal id of the contestants in the Second District Iie gave his views’ because he fayored dis- trict representation. Not only that, but this anode had been chosen in calling the National Convention, and it had been the custom, It was a modo that provided two delegates for each district and four delegates-at-large.

Hie was not so clear in his imind ay to say that unfalr means and fraud had not been used to control the Convention.

He had, therefore, arisen to suggest a manner to bring this mat- ter to a close on the main question.

On the morning of the 23d the Committee of Conference again met, and thoy agree to allow the Grant men to designate elght Grant delegates to the Chicago Convention, and to pernue the friends of Secretary Sherman and lenator Blaine to designate the other elght as thoy might agree, it being understood that two Blaine mon were to be solected as dole- es, ‘ It was ngreed that the Temporary Chair- mou of tho Convention should be 4 Grant man; that tho Commuittes on Credentinis should constat of seven delegates, four fa- yorablo to Grant and three to Sherman, It was ngreed who should be the porma- nent Chairinan of the Convention, and, flnally, the rolls of the delegntes, ng made ou by Mr. Pitkin, and by the Secretary of the State E: ecutlye Comiittee, were sent for and compared, and tho delegates from all the parishes excopt three were fgroed upon, ‘These threo parishes were St. Murys Enst Baton Rouge, and Natehitoches, It was nareed that the contests in these parlshes should be referred to tho Committes on Credentials, and {twas further understood that this rofl having been agreed upon by tho Conference Comumittes (who were also mem- bers of tho State Executive Committee), it would be unnecessary to convene the State Executive Committee for the purpose of making up the rall of delegates, 5 ' One thing which Judge Beattio was very decided about, to-wit: the reorganization of the State Central Executive Commnitteeso ag to remove Mr. Dumont from the Chairman- ship was not expressly ngreed upon..

Wheroupon Bir, Allnin sald he rose to a privileged question—that the State Execu- tive Committca had not beon called to make up tha roll of delegates. Mr. Dumont replied that the list of delegates had been a upon by the Conference Committce, and St had therefore been understood that it would not be necessary to call tho Committes to- gethor, Judge Benttlo thereupon deniod the right of Mr, Dumont to call the Conven- tion to order, and moved that Mr. Demas be elected Temporary Chafrman of the Conyen- tions he put hls own motion, In the midst of wild confusion and great hubbub, and ho declared Mr. Demas clected. “Demas, with supporters, thon rushed forward to take possession of the Chair by force, Ie was placed upon tho platform and romatned standing with Mr, Dumont until auficlent order was restored for Mr, Dumontto ex- main what was peing done. and Mr. Demas acknowledged that Mr, Dumont was right id io platform, After tho Fending of the call forthe Convention, the toll of tho delegates, as. ngreed upon, was called, ‘Mr. Leonard’ thon moved that Mr, Dumont bo elected ‘Temporary Chairman of the Convention; tho motlon was seconded,— Aly, Dumont askod If there were any other nominations, oud, after watting a little tine, he declared tho nominations efosed, and the Secretary of tho State Committee put tho westion snd he declsred the motion carried, {this time there was great nolse and con- fusion iu tho Convention, and Mr, Deni with ils supporters, made another attompt to take forcible possession of the Chatr; but this the they were met and kept off tho plate form} thon sume one gave tho signal to leave ond the bolters filed out of tho hall and went into another room i the same building to hold thelr Convention. * Thig room had been previously engazed for tho purpose, Thero Were forty-two of the delegates recognized by the Conference Commnittes who bolted—123 of the dulegntes recognized ay tho Committea of Conference remalned. . ‘There were fourteen delegates in St, Mar; East Baton Houge, and Natchitoches, the three parishes in whlch there were contests, which had been referred to the Committee on Crodentinls, and there were four delegates’ in other ‘pershies which wero doubtful.
