CHicaGo, June 4, 1839, The convention openson the third day with dull, cold weather, indicative of the feelings of the friends of the leading candidates, What is Settled. The vote last night cleared away so much debris that it gave all sides some solid facts to go upon. First. Tt killed the unit rule from the start. Second. It indicated that Gran’s vote will be about 325. Third, It settled the fact that the Senatorial triumvirate cannot hold either one of the dele- gations; that of Illinois dividing to-day on the Teport of the committee. Fourth, It ade the dark horse possible. Hopes and Probabilities. Although the friends of Gen. Grant were con- siderably set back, they have resolved to adhere to the last, hoping that the Sherman vote will come to them rather than go to Blaine. The Sherman vote, however, also intends to stick, in the hope of drawing from both. Senator Conkling made a speech last night, in response to a serenade, saying that Grant would certainly be nominated to-day or to-morrow;but in the face of tbls, Don Cameron had an tnter- view with the Vermont delegation, and indi- cated clearly that if Grant failed the Grant strength would be thrown for Edmunds. Som effort has been made at compromise on Garfiel but it was rejected. The Pagan Prince on Deck. Bob Ingersoll appears tn the new portion of the llinois delegation as a proxy. More Battle Cries. The following are specimens of the Grant manifestoes issued this morning to. bring up the Ine: “Stick! We've got ’em!” “Stand to your guns, Grant men!” “Let every Grant del- egate be on his mettle to-day!” “When the yote is taken, see the old warrior boom ahead!” “Tt took three months to capture Vicksburg, but | the ‘old man” bagged the whole rebel force jas” “You can’t beat him, gentlemen!” Five years from now tke first 379 delegates ho vote for Ulysses 8S. Grant tn the Chicago nvention will have thelr names written in gold, and hung in the Capitol, as the mea who lared to remember the Nation’s titude and voice the Nation’s wil” “It be a second declaration of independence.” “Now let the men of the Kansas, Iowa, Indiana, Massachu- setts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Mis- sissippi, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota and all other delegations, bide their time, and show at the proper moment what they think of the gallery mob that claims to have awed them into submission.” “The ‘Man of Destiny’ will be nominated. in spite of all the howlers that can be packed in the galleries by forty com- mittees. Disgraceful Tactics. Even the members of the press are shouldered out of their seats to make room for the howling mob under the direction of the anti-Grant bull- dozers. The whole proceeding is scandalous, Lions on the Stage. When the convention was called to order, the Royal party from Canada appeared on the Stage, and fora time created a great sensa- on, but some few persons were presented to them. When Gen. Sheridan was presented, the galleries gave such a round of gerd that the Englishmen hardly knew what to make of it. As Conkling and Logan entered the hall ths vast throngs burst into sounds of cheering, which the Koyal party seemed also to enjoy a immensely. Prince Leopold was attired in dark suit, and bis attendants in gray. Interested and Surprised. ‘They appeared to be intensely interested in everything that transpired, and remained a long Ume. The galleries were on tneir good be- havior, and the order of so vasta throng seemed to surprise them, as in fact it dida good many The First Bolt. In order to silence the threats of some dele- gates that they would not vote for Grant it nominated, Mr. Conkling, as the first business of the convention, offered a resolution pledging the entire convention to the support of its zom- Mr. A. W. Campbell, from West Virginia, de- fended his cause and was warmly applauded. He declared in the course of his speech that he | and his followers were willing to go out of the convention if it so wished. -Congressman Brandagee, of Connecticut, made an excited h, demanding that every delegate should support the nominee. An Effective Shot at Conkling. ed his cause and declared that he had always supported the‘hominee and Intended to support this one, but he was opposed to dictation. He had supported the nominee of ’76 with one hun- dred speeches, while the Senator from New York had made but one. General Garfield followed in a ringing speech in favor of the independent stand taken by the West Virginia delegates, assuming that they would support the nominee. His remarks were recelved with long and prolonged applause, Conkling Hissed, When Mr. Conkling arose he was received with a storm of hisses. A California delegate moved to lay the resolution on the table, and when Mr. Conkitng sald “Call the roll,” he was hissed again and again. The indignation was now so overwhelming that Conkling amid an- other storm of hisses withdrew the resolution to expel the West Virginia delegates. Stirring Scenes. It was a terrible defeat, and his retreat was greeted with rounds of applause. The excite- ment here became so great that the president made an appeal to the galleries for peace, and declared that there ought not to be any more hissing. Leopold Leaves. At this po.nt the royal party, escorted by Gen, Sheridan, retired from the ‘hall, having seen a rare exhibition of American politics. Senator Bruce in the Chair. Senator Bruce here took the chair, and the committee on rules and order of business re- ported. Music Between the Acts. The conventiqn, pending a vote on rules of order, waited an hour for the committee on cre- dentlals. The band meantime played the na- Uonal and other airs. There is some prospect of a ballot at the evening session, as there 15 a dispesition to shorten debate on contested seats, Report on the Contested Seats, When the convention care to order Mr. Con- ger, of Michigan, made a report from the commit. tee on credentials on the 50 contested seats. The committee has been in session thirty-six hours, with but three hours of recess. In the Louist~ ana case the committee admits the Warmoth delegation and excludes the Beatty delegation. The delegation admitted {g about equally divi- ded between Grant and Blaine. The Kansas Case. No contest is allowed in Kansas, where it was expected two Blaine delegates would be put cut. The complete delegation sitting in the convention is retained, Against the Machine. The committee take broad goound in favor of recognizing delegates sent by conventions held in Congressional districts {n the place of the election and instruction by state conventions. This was enthusiastically applauded. G. W. A. Associated Press Report. The Committee’ on Credentials Through With Its Labors. Cutcaco, June 4.—At 2:20 this morning the committee on credentials concluded tts labors by voting to report in favor of the sitting dele- gates from West Virginia and Utah and the contesting delegates from the ninth district of Pennsylvania and the thirteenth district of Ill- nois. It refused to interfere with the delegates at large or those from the second district of Illi- nols. A resolution declaring that the Spring- field convention was a legally constituted body, and in selecting delegates to the national con- vention acted in good faith, was rejected by a vote of 27 to 17, two not voting. Intense Interest To-Day, But Notso Much Excitement. While the interest in the convention and its business continues intense, there {s visible abatement of the excitement this morning. At @ quarter past 10 there were few delegates in their seats, and the galleries were not half filled. The spectators, however, are still pour- ing in, and as the weather is cloudy and cool, there is no doubt that another hour will see the house crammed to its utmost capacity. Prince Leopold a Spectator. Among the spectators on the front platform is Queen Victoria’s young son, Prince Leopold, ac- companied by his friends, H. Collins, esq., C. P. Hon. Yorke, Col. MeNeill, equerry to the Queen. The Princess Louise {s at the Grand Pactlic with her suite, but too wearled to visit the conven- tion this morning. Grant Men in The Galleries To-day. Conkling, on entering the hall, was recelved With a burst of applause, which seemed to indl- cate that the Grant men are in possession of the galleries to day. At ten forty the galleries were nearly full. Mr. Garfield has just entered the hall and was received with much applause. The Third Day’s Session Begun. Chairman Hoar led the convention to or- der at 10:45. Rev. Arthur Little, of the New England Congregational church, ‘Chicago, In- voked the Throne of grace, Mr. Conkling’s Resolution to Bind Members to Support the Nominee. Mr. Conkling rose to offer a resolution in the hope there would be no objection to it. If there should be any objection he should ask the roll to be called. ‘The tollowing ts the resolution: Resolved (as the sense of this convention), That every member of it is bound in honor to eoprert iUs nominee, Whoever that nomince might be, and that no man should hold his seat here who {s not ready so to agree. [Cheers and applange.} Mr. Hale, of Maine, said they were unable to hear the resolution in his netghborhood, and Called for its reading again, and it was so read. Mr, Hale’s Speech. Mr. Hale, mounting his chair, sald he sup- posed that a republican convention did not need to be instructed; that its first duty atter naming its candidate was to proceed to elect him over the democratic candidate. [Applause.} They all had their preferences and were ardent in the expression and urgency of their preferences, but he had yet failed to hear in the busy and exciting contests in which they had been en- gaged for the last week any expression on the part of any delegates to the convention, who- ever they might be for, of a dissent as to the Hnal determination of the convention. When the deliverance was had from all the labor of the convention, he held no doubt that they should all be found hand in band, shoulder to shoulder, march- ing on to the election of their candidate. (Cheers.} If the candidate of the gentleman irom New York was nominated he (Hale) and his friends would work by night and by day to elect him, and in turn they should expect that if they nominated their man he (Conkling) would work night and day to elect him. ‘Mr. Brandagee called for a vote by a call of states to emphasize its purpose and to ascer- tain who are for it, who are against {t and who will try to escape it. [Applause.} The Chair put the question first viva voce, and there were apparently half a dozen noes. A Cail of States, Mr. Conkling also asked for a call of the states, saying it was desirable to know who it was ina republican convention who vote no on Such a resolution. [Applause.] The chair put the question to the convention a8 to whether there should be a call of the — and it was ordered by a overwhelming vote. Mr. Conkling’s Resolution Adopted. ‘The clerk then proceeded to call the ro! Maine voted unanimously aye, (applause;} New York voted 70 ayes; Pennsylvania 58 ayes; only one delegate betng present from South Carolina, cast his single vote aye; West Virgin.a cast 5 votes aye and 3 noes, [hisses,) two dele- ites were absent. The total vole was—ayes 16, noes 3. So the resolution was adopted. Mr. Conkling’s New Resolution to Expel legates who will Nor Agree eerrens the Nominee. Mr. Coi he wanted to offer another resolution, which he would reduce to writing 1m a moment, as follows: x Regione it the delegates who have voted will not abide the action of the con- yention deserve to have, and have for- felted, their yotes in the convention. (Subdued applause and some hisses.) Shh Discussion on the Resolution. of intmbe Seated pet os Suffered contume! for > Hg TWO CENT by it, it should have his endorsement. He al- Ways intended to guard his own sovel ‘. ({Applause.] He never intended that any of men should take sovereignty from him. As he bad not been afraid to stand up for republl- can cer in West Virginia, he was not afraid to go home and face his constituents, Mr. Hale, of W.Va., who voted aye, defended the rights of his colleague to vote as he saw fit, Another delegate from West Virginta defend- | [@hplause} to utter his own sentiments as an individual delegate. Mr. Brandagee, of Conn.. sald the question Was not one of free speech. Noman here will seek to hinder any delegate’s free speech. It was only a question as to what any man would do for the support of republican principles. He continued at considerable length until greeted with bisses, Mr. McCormick, of W. Va., avowed himself one of the three dissentents, not because he did not expect to sun rt the nominee of this con- vention, for he did intend to do that, no matter who pe should be. He was as good a republi- can 4s the gentleman from New York, and whereas the latter made only one speech for the nominee of the last national republican convention, he (McCormick) made one hundred. (Great applause and cheers{. He opposed the resolution only beause it declares that men are ‘unfit to set in the convention if they differ from other members of it. Mr. Young, of Tennessee, colored, cel gets the resolution and wanted to know why, if those who voted no meant to join the democratic party, they should be helping to choose the nominee of the republican party. It was a mere question of personal independence. Let them keep it to themselves, but let them leave the republican party to take care of itself. Mr. Garfield expressed his fear that the con- vention was about to commit grave error. He would state the case. Every delegate save three bad voted for a resolution, and the three ie who had voted against it nad risen in their places and stated they een and tn- tended to support the nominee of the conven- tion, but that it was not in thelr judgment a wise thing at this le =6t0 pass the resolution which all the rest of the delegates had voted for. Were they to be Gisfranchised because they thought so? [Cries cf No! Not} That was the question. Was every delegate to have his republicanism inquired into betcre he was allowed to vote? Delegates were responsible for their votes not to the conven- Uombnt to their constituents. (Cheers) He Ljmself would never in any convention vote against bis judgment. He regretted that the gentlemen from West Virginia had thought it best to break the harmony of the convention by theirdissent. He did not know those gen- Uemen, nor their affiliations, nor their relations to the candidates, if this convention expelled those men, then the convention would have to purge itself at the end of every vote and in- quire how many delegates who had voted “no” should go cut. ‘(Cheers.)_ He trusted that the gentleman from New York would withdraw his resolution, and let the convention proceed with its business, fable the tkesolution. , of California, moved to lay the resolution on the table. {applause} Mr. Conkling demanded the cail of the roll. Ulisses long and furious. } A cali of the roil was ordered. Mr. Conkling inquired of the chair whether the three gentlemen from West Virginia did Say that they would vote for the noininee of this convention. The chair sald it was not his province to an- ewer the question. Mr. Conkling ee hdraws the Reso- ons Mr. Conkling said he would not press his res- glution if his question was answered in the af- firmative, and finally he withdrew the resolu- Uon, as he sald there seemed to be some doubt. {Applause and hisses.) Mr. Sewell, of New Jersey, moved that the committee on credentials now report. Adopted. A Slates, | to the Galleries. The chair pointed out to the occupants of gal- Jeries the impropriety of interrupting the pro- ceedings of the convention. If there should be any more hissing there he should order the part of gallery from which it came to be cleared. [Applause.] Report from the Committee on Rules The chairman of the credential committee not being in the house, on motion of Mr. Sewell, the committee on rules was ordered to report, with he understanding that no action should be taken upon their recommendations until after the reporting of the credentials committee and action taken. ‘The chair called Senator Bruce, of Miss., one of the vice presidents, temporarily to the chair. As Mr. Bruce came forward he was received with applause. Mr. Garfield, from the committee, reported therules recommended for the government of the corvention. Against the Unit Rule. ‘The rules were read by the secretary. The one which forbids any unit rule was recelved with applause. Mr. Garfield said he did not understand that these rules were up for discussion, but only for information. The only changes from the rules of 1876 were verbal merely, or effected their re- arrangement in a more convenient order, ex- cept that the committee had added to what was now numbered as rule 8, a provision clearly and explicitly embodying the uniform precedents of all previous republican conventions to the man- ner of taking the vote of states that are divided. Mr. Hoar resumed the chair. Minority Report of the Committee on Rules, Mr. Sharpe (N. Y.) presented the minority re- ort of the committee on rules, signed by the ‘legates on that committee from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Mississipp!, Mis- sourl, New York, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana and Colorado, recommending the adoption of rules, (being rule 6 of the convention of 1376 in the same language as in 1876 as “Tn the record of votes by states the yote of each state, territory and the District of Columbia, shall be announced by the chairman, and in case the vote of any state, territory or the District of Columbia shall be divided, the ebairman shall announce the number of votes cast for any candidate, or for or against any proposition. ‘The minority express the belief that the addl- tion made by the majority of the committee is unwise: that it tends to invite discussion which might not otherwise be forced on the conven- (ion; that for the protection of the rights of in- dividual members it is unnecessary, and that it gratuitously and in advance casts an imputa- lion on the chairman of the respective delega- tions. Action on the report of the committee on rules and the views ef the minority was withheld for the present. ‘The Platform that is to be Reported. ‘The committee on resolutions have not yet re- ported, but have agreed upon their work. The platform rehearses the great benefits of repub- Mean rule to the country. It has restored solidity to the national finances, lifted the credit. of the country, has ensured prosperity of the future. It advocates popular education ; adherence to the constitution; prohibition of the use of public funds for sectarian schools; favors, protection of American labor, commerce and industries; de- bounces polygamy; renews the obligations of the country to the Union soldiers, opposes unlimited Chinese immigration, and ‘suggests Congressional modification of existing treaties to remedy the evils; commends President Hayes’ administration; arraigns the democratic party, and holds it to be the duty of the republicans to harmonize the whole country. A message was received from the committee on credenUals that it would be ready to report in thirty minutes. The convention accordingly is waiting idly for the committee’s appearance, and many of the delegates are leaving the hall. Report from the Committee on Cre- dentials. After about an hour’s delay waiting for the committee on credentials to report, the conven- Uon again came to order at 1 p.m. Mr. Conger, or ee epokerane ~ = : a re — its report, apologizing for the length of time they bad been: compelled to detain the convention and explaining its necessity. They had been con- tnuously and laboriously engaged in their duties ever since they were appointed, with the exception of a recess of three or four hours. The numerous questions before them had been dis- cussed with candor and frankness, and in ry ittee recom- mended the admission of the Warmoth - tion, excluding the tty, A an elaborate statement the ts the com- bis district because of failure to approve the condition that he should obey the ereavanbat tne Sommer at asa case Pe Warner in Alabama ants in the 2d Illinois district, and do not sus- tain the objections to the four delegates at large in the same state. They further report in favor of the sitting members from the 9th and wo face ot Pennsylvania, and 3d district of reat Vi ‘The committee suggest that the final devision of many of these contests nds upon the adoption by the convention of the principle of Congressional district representation. This the committee believe to be sound. [Applause.} The report cites J. D. Cameron’s support of the right of individual district representations at the convention of 1876 under precisely similar circumstances and a similar for a national convention, They cite the form of the call of the convention in 185s_as evidence that it was the principle of the republican party to estab- lish the principle of district representation. ‘This was sustained also by all the precedents in the pol down to date, In no case has the fair action of a district in selecting its representatives been overruled or changed by apy state or national conven- tion. [Applause.] The committee do not belleve that this right of Congressional representation shouk now be invaded for the first time by the action of the national convention. If a state convention can by a bare majority override the will of the peo- ple fairly expressed in the selection of district delegates, it might as well appoint at once all the delegates. [Great applause.) Nominations made through such misrepresenta- tion will not likely to be ratified by the people. It was the duty of the convention to disapprove emphatically all attempts to override the high moral customs of the party. [Applause.] The committee sustain the sitting delegates from Utah as regularly and fairly chosen. ‘They reported in favor Of Sears and Day for the second distrfet of Kansas, and Anderson and Steele from the third district, and that the present sitting members shall retain their seats and cast only six votes, A Minority Report. Mr. Clayton, of Arkansas, presented the ml- nority report. It differs with the report of the majority as tothe application of the principle of district representation, The recommenda- tion of the majority, if adoptea, would Work as an ex pos! facia Tule, reversing the long established usage of the party in many states. {Applause.] They urge that. there 1s a vacancy in the district claimed by Rapier and that the sittlog members are entitled to the seats which the majority report awards to Smith and Warner. The minority say that as Rapter re- fused to accept the pledge exacted by the state convention he is here without credentials, also that he was not elected by his district but only Lominated, and that except through the action of the state convention, ratifying his nomina- tion, he hed no authority whatever.

ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERING AT THE NAME OF GRANT. NO BALLOT - LIKELY TO-NIGHT. Full Report of Pro- ceedings up to Recess. Special To The Star. Denunciation of the Machine Ap plauded. Cuicago, June 4, Isso, ‘That part of the report which says “the nearer We get to the people through delegates the safer will be our nomination,” and the denunciation of machine rule was received with round after round of applause in every part of the con- vention Gane among portions of the New York ond Illinois delegations. Mr. Clayton (Ark.) submitted a minority re- Tort in favor of the Grant delegates of Illtnols. The District Rule. The committee quote all the cails mae by the republican party since it was founded, to show that the District rule always prevatled, and was never the exception. In Alabama they report in’ favor of Rapler, a Sherman delegate. In Illinois they report in favor of all but two of the Blaine delegates. A Grant Boom. ‘The minority report on credentials occupied more than an hour and a half in reading. At Umes portions of it in favor of Grant delecates were loudly applauded. The galleries seemed to be in possession of the Grant people for the first time. The five hundred veteran soldiers had tickets and are al) for Grant, and frequently Started the applause. There seems to be little or no caucusing among the delegations on the floor, but there is a general desire for one ballot, to fully test each candidate's strength. It seems to be conceded that the convention wii last through Saturday. ‘The debate on reports on credentials promise. to last till 5 or 6 o'clock. A ballot 1s possible at the night session. Loud and Long Cheering for Grant. It appeared in the report that the committee on credentials had taken up the cases of four delegates at large from IMnois when there wa no contest. This incensed Gen. Loga made a s] said: “You have no right, sir, to ask this con- yention to vote on my seat unless some one con- tests it.” In the course of his remarks he alluded toGrant, and the cheering lasted several min- utes. It created more enthusiasm than on any other day, : LATER. No Ballot Until To-morrow. It is believed the night session will be taken up With debate on credentials, and that no bal- lot will be taken till Saturday. 5 Pp, M.—Convention still in session, It is the general belief that there will be no ballot to- night. GW, A. Associated Press Report. The Mmority Beport of the Com- mittee on Credentials Continued. CricaGo, June 4.—Continuing their report on. the Rapier case, the minority of the committee on credentials ‘say that {t did not appear that there had been any district conventions in Ala- bama at which the Alabama contestants had been chosen. Their authority here could rest only on action in the state convention. If the principle of district representation Is the sound one, then more than half of the delegates sit- Ung in this convention are here without right, and if the rule ts rigidly applied the body wouid find itself without & quorum. (Applause } ‘The report of the minority in the matter of the Illinois contest gives a long history of the case. It starts out with a denial of the charge made agaixst the state couvention of havin entered into a giganuc conspiracy to defrau: the electors. Not a syllable of evidence of such: conspiracy had been laid before the committee, and an examination of the record com- pletely and decisively refuted sucia charge. Speaking of the state convention, the minority says: “In bodies of this character the minority or the majority must rule. There can be no ai- vision of the rule, and the majority of the republicans of the state of [liinois as. sembled in state convention, pursuant to the cali Ss, from the legitimate oficial source, declared their preference for Ulysses S. Grant, and instructed the delegates to the convention to vote asa unit for him. Is this convention to say that the majority of the convention of the state of Illinois no such powers? Will this convention undertake to say, and will the country justify it in saying, that the majority of the people in so great a State shall not be permitted to express their preferences on questions of this character, and that if they have clear and distinct preferences they shall be utterly helpless in the selection of the methods by which that pi isto be made effectual? It isabsurd upon the face of it to sey Uhat Iifnois or any state has a right to instruct its delegates to vote for a particular candidate, and yet has not the power to make such instruction effectual and binding. Itis absurd to say that a great state possessing thts power of giving expression to its will and the will of its majority no means for pre- venting the Gefeat Of that will by violated in. structions, by broken pk or by corrupted faith. The republicans of the state of Milnols, and indced of every other state in this Union, | wil ere long a allve to t r which environs @ rights of the ma- jority, will ere long see that the en- forcement of power of executing and asserting it, and if this ‘will thus expresse: €d by fraud. by trickery or corruption, thus imperilled has the i ay to place, as the exponents of 1ts will, men in its position who cannot be corrupted, and whoi pollitcal treachery or fraud can precisely what the majority ot of tbe state of Iinols, in state con sembied, undertook to do, and succeeded acing. jee the republican party hag existence therc has been but the republicans of the state failed thelr Gelegates to a national convent as a unit were i (i eee i 2 ct ie 2 H in, who | peech on the committes, in which he cf it, voted against the clearly Known will of | the Convention. and ly defeated the pomtnation of Mr. ‘Weare assured that: | place as such had his | been announced.” | ‘The minority report ginia, The report ts sicned — York, Powell Clayton, others. | The Majority Report Up for Action. Mr. Cover handed tn a corrected list of mem- | bers of the convention as reported by his com- mittee, He then moved that the convention Proceed to consider the Louisiana case, | Mr. Cessna moved to adopt all the on which the committee hi and then proceed to the separate consideration of the | disputed Issues Involving the contests in Ala- bama, Lilnols, West Vinginla, and Uta, 1 puted Cases. Mr. Conger. Ube gentleman's motion tn- clude the Louisiana case among the undis- puied? Mir. Cessna replied in the affirmative, Mr. Con; hen I have no objection. Mr. Conkling called for the enumeration of the questions which would fall within the listor undisputed cases. Mr. Conger said this list would embrace the | cases of Louisiana, the 2d district of Illinois, the IMnols delegates at large, the 24 and 4th of Kansas, and the 9th and i9th of Pennsylvania, Mr. Logan inquired how it happened that there Was any report as to the four delegates at large from the state of Tilinois. It was the first time that he bad heard of the right to their seats being questioned. Mr. Conger replied that petitions against the right of the four delegates at lange had been presented to the convention and referred to the | committee, and hence it was necessary for the comupittee’ to notice that subject tn {ts report. ‘Mr. Logan; rested inst hi: Nest Inst his ig) ain question, and in- Umated that he perfectly well understood the | object of it. He submitted that he was entitled to fair play, and he complained of the treatment | to which he and the man who had led the armies of the nation to victory had been treat- . (Cheers for Grant.) Had the republicans | of Iinots ever fatled to do their duty in the hour of peril. When the dark cloud lowered over the peace and prosperity of the country, | had they not given their muscle, and nerve and | soldterly qualities for the preservation of the i repu bile } A Kansas delegate objected to the exclusion of Kansas in the list of undisputed questions. Mr. Cessna modified bis motlon so as to give separate action on the Kansas case, r. Sharpe, of New York, moved to amend he pending. motion so as to strike from the ma- Jority report so much of it as relates to tne JIli- wols delegations at large. (Applause. } Mr. Conger’s Reply to Logan, Mr. Conger, replying to Mr. Logan, expressed profound regret that a gentleman whom hajso «ouch loved and honored should have imagined that the committee on credentials mvended the slightest’ reflection upon tim. He jreminded him that the credentials of all delegates had been submitted to the com- mittee, Lhose of the high and lifted-up as well those of the Pst. delegate from the ids of the south, (Laughter and applause.) | Iv would have been unworthy of the splendid | committee on credentials not to have told the | convention tn distinet words that the lofty and stinguished n of the state of [lnois was entitled to a seat in the convention, He made no apology to that gentleman or to the state of liltnols, or (0 Unis great body of people for the moral courage of the committee w ‘nabled ito say to the world that the g Logan) Was entitied to his seat, at {the - mored sarcasin of the reply was greeted with roars of laughter.) Mr. Logan Not Satisfied. Mr. Logan returned to the charge, aud asked tinction had been made as to the four large between the state of [ilinois pssua. Of Pa, (a member of the com- replied Unat the reason was that objeo- iions had been made to the four delegates at large trom Ilinois and none to those from any otter state, Mr. Cessna’s Amendment Adopted. Mr. Conger having accepted Mr. Cessua’s amendment, the convention adopted it without objection. ‘The question was then stated on Mr. Sharpe's motion, but the chair ruled that it was out of order. Mr. Conkling argued as a point of order that the committee report belng before tue house, Mr. Sharpe's motion to amend was in order. The chair modified his ruling and adinitted Mr. Sharpe's motion. Mr. Haymond on Mr. Logan. Mr, Haymond, of California, pointed out that if Mr. Sharpe's motion should prevail it will have the seats of the Illinois delegates contest- ed, while the committee pro} to put their Utle beyond question or dispute in history. He never jn his long experience knew any man to object toa unanimous judgment in his own favor. (Applause) The gentleman (Mr. Lo- gan) had seemed to think that the reportof this committee bad insulted Ube state of Tilinols, His reply to that was that the citizen of Illinois was to apt to confound himself with the state of Ilinois, [Loud laughter and cheers, half the audience rising and shouting.) It had been Stated in the papers presented Ubat as to the Springfield convention, it was hard to tell whether it was Lhe state of Illinois or John A. Logan that held that convention. (Renewed jaughter and applause.) Mr. Logan on Mr. Haymond, Mr. Logan declared Uthat be could not ba affected in the slightest degree by the inuendos of the gentlemen from the golden shores of | California, picked up in the slums and sloughs | of Chicago (applause]—the insinuation that he | (Logan) confounded himself with tbe state of lutnols. {Applause} Mr, Logan proceeded at considerable length to explain and defend his action in the Spring- | fleld convention, being frequenuy interrasted with applause. “He declared that the charges and insinuations and inuendoes aimed at him had come from those who sought to, but could | Rot, control the majority. His crime against | them was that certain newspapers could not | Write him down; could not count him out; could not destroy his republicanism; could nov drive | him from the party. [Cheers.) | , Hedetied the men who undertook to assait him, aud was ready to meet them anywhere, | Mr. Haymond rejoining, dented that he had made any attack upon Logan. If be had re- ferred to anything known in the slums of Chi- cago, he (Haymond) knew nothing about it. Neither Mr. Logan nor any other man, no mat- ter how much covered with military or civic honors, should stand here aad put words In his mouth that be never uttered. The remark about the gentleman's confound- ing himself with the state of Lilinois was not orfitnal with him (Mr. Haymond), but was a quotation from the papers presented to the committee. However, the gentleman almost convinced him that the remark was a correct one. [Laughter and applause. } Peace at Last. Sharpe's motion, modified so as to strike from the majority report somucho {Cas implies that there ts any contest meaning the lilinols dele- gation at large, was adopted. Mr. Cessna then moved the adoption of so much of the committee's report as had been designated as being under dispute. Agreed to. The Alabama case was then taken up. Mr. Clayton, of Arkansas, moved to substt- tute the minority for the majority report in this part of it. A Recess Till Seven O’elock. Mr. Bruce, of Mississippi, moved a recess until Tociock.
