THE BATTLE RAGE WHO WILL WIN? The Disputed Seats. NEWS FROM GRANT. Friday Night's Pro- ceedings. BEDLAM! Special To The Star. Curcaco, June 5, 1830, The Battle of the Giants. ‘The greatest scene which ever occurred ina | Dational convention took place between 12 and 2o’clock this morning, amounting almost toa battle between the contending factions. Long John Wentworth says he has never seen anything like i* In forty years, and Pixley, a California delegate, declared that it looked like a scene of terror from the French revolution. Wild and Thrilling Scene: It was so prolonged and excited that the coolest men were dazed and stood terror stricken in their seats. Men and women went tnto hys- terfes, and rushed around and shouted like maniacs. People who heard the rush and roar tive blocks away crowded into the convention without tickets, as the police seemed too much startled to detain any one. It would seem that the animal spirits and wondrous lung power of the convention were reserved, after all, for the closing debate on the 1S anti-Grant contestants from Illinois. Mat- ters were comparatively quiet during the speeches, although the speakers on each side spoke with more than usual power. But when Emory Storrs, of Chicago, the last of the four, took his stand on the edge of the press plat- form and proceeded in peculiarly eloquent style to langh down the arguments of his oppo- the enthusiasm increased each second. Wher, tmpro' hhis advan . and in a voice that overcame the acoustic difficulties of the hall, he spoke of Blaine and told the a lees oft that gentleman to nominate him if they could, the tempest opened in good earnest with stirring cheers and loud verbal interruptions from the gallery. Mr. Storrs, turning to the cheering crowd said: “And when the gentle- men who are cheering in the gallery to-night are reposing under the soft summer sky, tired ot politics and sted with its fatigues, you will find the followers of the graad old silent soldier awake by their camp-fires, and carrying the banner of the sluggard forward to triumph.” **Hell Broke Loose.” At the conclusion of the closing sentenc— “Hell or something that very closely resembled that territory,” says the Chicago Times, “broke loose, beginning on the east side of the hall. Spreading to the floor and finally infecting every pare of the vast audience until It seemed to ave gone absolutely mad for the time betng. ‘The adherents of both the renowned candidates vied with each other in roaring like wild bulls, or perhaps it might be true to say like an im- mense band of wild Indians sounding their ferocious war whoops at a gigantic scalp dance.” The delegates from the different states and territories seized their banners and waved them on high while every body on the floor and in the galleries waved handkerchiefs, or hats, or um- brellas, or sticks, or whatever they could lay hands on to indicate their preferences. The | continued roaring, which lasted three-quarters of an hour without official interruption, sounded like the storm of the battle field Itself. Conspicuous among the leaders of the scene were Koscoe Conkling, Long John Wentworth and John Logan on the floor, and Bob Ingersoll and Mr. Conger on the platform. The flashing eyes and scarlet faces of the excited multitude showed to what a see of passion the once cool and dignified repul party had come. Wild Women, Too. Even womanhood for a time lost its delicacy and dignity, and showed as much insanity, standing on Chairs and flourishing symbols, as the men themselves. They were few, of course, in proportion to the number of women who sat ther eawed and amazed by the Titanic uproar. Ten thousand people were on thelr feet, standing upon tables and chairs and the backs of the benches, waving handerkerchiets, canes, hats,umbrellas, overcoats,shaw!s, papers, in fact, everything could that could be seen or used to add to the confusion and excitement. The flags,with which the building ts decorated,were torn down and waved aloft. “Crazy women tore off their bonnets, and swung them by their strings; and crazy men pulled their coats from their shoulders and waved them in the air. The noise was absolutely deafening; and no one knows, till he hears 1t, how much noise 10,000 ple can make, shouting at the tops of their lungs, pounding the floor with th feet, and banging the resonant pine benehes with boards torn from the backs and arms. It was bedlam, and beyond bedlam. It was like nothing that was ever seen or described, and any attempt to de- scribe it would be a failure. | .Obe woman on the stage, a Mrs. Deane, of New Jersey, crazed with the excitement, tore down = and shook them in the air.’ She nally climbed to the pedestal of the Goddess of Liberty that stands behind the chair- man’s desk, and there conspicuously to all the audience she swung her flags and bonnet, and screamed with all her voice. She was finally taken down by Sergeant-at-Arms Strong, Gover- nor Jewell, Congressman Aldrich, and others, and placed in a seat, but her histertes returned, and she snatched the flags from the men who had them and Lend to the lestal again. She was a second time taken down ana com: pelled to keep her seat, but was finally taken {rom the buiiding before she could be controlled. My Lord Roscoe Unbends. Senator Conkling stood upon a chair and waved the banner, which, hanging upon a pole, was placed to mark the seats of the New York de i ie When his arms were tired with holding this heavy banner, he wav one hand. and pene eee Lis handkerchtef in the other. The dignified gentieman in the New York dele. gation shout with the Senator in the Penn- sylvania Pee ey General Beaver waved his crutches in air, and Senator Cameron. swung his bat, standing on of @ chair. Long John Wentworth’s huge and conspicuous head rose up among the Illinois delegates like a G among pigmies. He stood upon a chair for twenty minutes, with his cane in one hand and heumed handkerchiet ta. the cetera res se 1 in the other, £ decorum. Reporters Cool, as Usual. The delegates began tosing “John Brown” and “Rally Zound the Flag,” and im all that Lan rapping, swaying crowd the only men w t quiet were the ters, who were ise a PECTS 20, wey to attend to the business of furnishing the news for the public. It was midnight when the firat thunder peal was heard, and! the chain was half an hour after 1 o'clock when man began to show that he still lived by hammering his desk with the formidable gavel. He could not suc- ceed, however. immediately, because the dele- gates from Maine, California, Nebraska, Ne- Yada, Kansas, Virginia and New Mexico, bear- ing aloft the banners which designated their places in the hall, formed a procession, which. amid monstrous confusion, marched arot the hall. Peace at Last. Doubtless the disorder would have lasted all night had not Gen. Raum, with an unexpected Sagacity, proposed three cheers for the victorious candidate. This parting volley of sounds seemed to satisfy the frenzied assemb! , and Mr. Storrs concluded his speech in careful sen- tences, fearful that he might create another ‘scene like the one which he had so ably suc- ceeded in producing. There never was, and perhaps, unless in the same body, possibly never will be such another spectacle. In fact the scene put Grant and Blaine in nomination, and the speeches after this will be tame in com- parison. SECOND DISPATCH. Speculations and Prob- abilities. GRANT GAINING. ABOUT DARK HORSES. Special To The Star. CHICAGO, JUNE 5, 1880. There is the Calm of Exhaustion in the convention this morning. The situation seems to be about this: ‘The first ballot will be taken towards evening. It may be followed by two or three, and if there is then no choice, an adjournment till Monday will probably follow. It is claimed on each side that the great struggle of last night puts Grant and Blaine to the front, and rules out the dark horse. What the Grant Men Claim. ‘The Grant men say that their success is as- sured in the fact that every southern delegate finally will vote for Grant as the only man who can give them security enotigh to insure a re- publican party in the South. Then they add that part of the Ohio vote and all the Massa- chusetts vote will go to Grant, and this will nominate him. What the Blaine Men Claim. ‘The Blaine men claim that they have gained in the last twenty-four hours, and that Blaine is the second choice of enough men to nominate him. But in the face of this they do not deny that eighteen of the leading Sherman delega- tons from South and North Carolina will go to Grant, which will turn the tide to him. Unblanketing the Dark Horse. The republicans who do not believe either can be elected, are working earnestly for a dark horse, aud Garfleld and Hawley are talked of as. betrayed them. His headquarters virtually abandoned. GW Associated Press Report. THE FOURTH DAY. A Thunder Storm and a Dark Horse. CuicaGo, June 5, 11:15 a. m.—The delegates are steadily assembling. The galleries are fill- ing rapidly, despite heavy showers of rain and sultry atmosphere, only partially relieved by occasional thunder. The usual rounds of ap- plause were Riven to notable delegates as they entered the hall. Mr. Garfield especially was received with much enthusiasm, probabiy be- cause in some contingencies he is considered a Possible winning dark horse in the presidential race, Opening Proceedings. ‘The convention was called to order at 11:15, at which time the delegates were generally in their seats, and an immense audience in the galleries and on the rear of the platform. Prayer Was offered by Rev. John R. Baxter, of Wash- ington. A Prayer for Wisdom and Peace. The Rev. Mr. Baxter's prayer included the following: “God, Thou creator of all things and Hirer d Sustainer of all Thy creations, we begin Ubts day with thankful acknowledgement of ‘Thy mercies; we commend unto Thy favor and grace the members of this convention. Rule, we pray Thee, in all their counsels; guide ali their deliberations and declare through their vote for the wisest, for the truest, for the best man to lead this great party in’ the contest which awaits it. Forbid t the cry of passion should be louder here than the calm voice of duty. Forbid that eels should warp judg- ment and compromise principle nor permit pei sonal preferences to impair or imperil the peace and harmony, the enthusiasm, the unity of pur- pose or fidelity of trust of this convention.” The Kansas Case. The chair stated the question to be on the report of the committee on credentiais in the case of Kansas. Mr. Conger brietly explained and sustained the majority report. The conven- Uon agreed to limit debate on Kansas to forty minutes. Mr. Plumb, of Kansas, replied in behalf of the sitting members and sustaining the minority report. Applause for Mr. Conkling.

Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, sald he did not know which side of the pending question he was on, and asked to be allowed to speak two minutes rtain own position. (Laughter.) ‘The chair said the gentleman must be on one Side or the other to entitle him to occupy any of (ee aoe ‘mane to this debate, (Renewed ughter. ir.

It Was noticeable that in the Kansas case New York cast only 22 votes in the affirmative. So the majority report, which admits 4 Grant men from Kansas, was adopted, the committee on credentials holding that they were entitled to seats under the pi ple of ict representa- ton. The failure of the New York Grant men stood to be caused by the desire ity sustained, while their votes for it would inconsistent with their vote in the Illinois cases. The West Virginia Case.

My. Cudman, of Massachusetts, urged that the principle of district representation required the seating of the contestants in the West Vir- ginia case in accordance with the minority re- Port.

Mr. Conger stated that the committee were nearly eualy divided in this case, and rather intimat that he was not himself clear in opinion as to the true merits of the case, contestants in the case are Sherman men). After considerable cross-firing between different delegates as to facts of pi local interest, Mr. Haymond, of California, said that. which- ever way the convention should vote in this case that vote could sustain the principle of dis- trict representation.

Grant’s Whereabouts and What- abouts. [Special to The Star.} June 5.—A special dispatch to the ’mes, dated Galena to-day, says: General Grant is in Galena, He spends most of the time during business hours at General Rowley’s office, recetving and discussing the telegrams from Chicago, He is very reticent in the expression of opinions, and says he knows nothing more of conta plans and purposes than any outsider, but he thinks Mr. Conkling krows what he is about pretty well. The ex-President does not show any anxiety ba herycusness about matters political or other- wise. LIEU ZEIL ‘S SAD DEATH. ‘Thro from his Horse and Killed. NEw York, June 5.—A Norfolk (Va.) special says: Lieut. W. F. Zellin, the marine officer on the United States receiving ship Franklin, aud son of Brigadier General Zetlin, United States marine corps of Washington, was thrown by a runaway horse, on which he was riding on the Ocean View road, yesterday evening and in- stantly killed by falling on his head and having hls neck broken. The body was brought to the Atlantic Hotel last night, and will be forwarded to Washington to-morrow, NORFOLK, Va., June 5.—Lieut. W. F. Zeilin, of the U.S. Marine corps and attached to the receiving ship Franklin, of this station a son of Gen.

Just before reaching the cottage toll bridge three miles from this city his horse a very spirited animal took fright and ran away. Lieut.

One half of the gate was Closed and while the boy in charge was closing the other half the horse strucked the cl part throwing Lteut Zellin on the bridge with such force that he was dead in 5 minutes. A cut over his right eye was the only external injury that was ap- parent. Death resulted fromthe breaking of his neck. An inquest was held at 2 o'clock this morning and the body was brought to this city by Col. J. L. Broome, commandant of the marine corps at this station accompanied by bis fellow officers of the Franklin. Lieut. Zeilin Was a young officer of much promise and was quite a favorite in naval circles.

Lonvon, June 5.—Sir Henry Halford writes as follows regarding the international rifle match at Wimbledon: “I intend to hold no competition for the purpose of choosing my team, but to take them from their public shooting and gen- eral performances, as in my opinion that Is a more satisfactory plan than any but a very exhaustive series of competitions. The team will probably be taken from among the follow- ing names: A. P. Humphrey, Martin R. Smith, Mr. Evans, Major Young, John Rigby, J. K- Milner, Martin Boyd, Messrs. Thorburn, McKer- rel, Whitehead, Ferguson and Scriven, and Captain G. Fenton.

The Church _— im the Prussian iet. Lonpon, June 5.—A Berlin dispatch to the Standard says the committee of the Prussian diet to which was referred the church bill has decided in favor of three important clauses, ‘The government owes this success to a coalition of the ultra conservatives and ultramontanes and Poles who make up eleven votes. The mi- nority of ten consisted of liberals and free con- servatives. The first of the three clauses makes the highest provincial official alone competent to appeal to the state authoriues against eccle- slastical decisions. The second clause enacts that ne pon ot secular courts is not to ex- tend to placing those who are incapable of filling their offices, and the third claus? enables the sovereign to replace deposed bishops. More Trouble in South America.

CANADIAN NOTES, The Alleged Cuban Filibuster Ship. QUEBEC, June 5.—The Atalaya, suspected of having contraband articles of war concealed on board, still lies at anchor, the captain having made declaration before a notary that the ves- sel contains no contraband of war. The cus- toms officials have instructions from Ottawa that no further search will be ordered unless the Spanish government becomes responsible for it. Referring to the Atalaya, the Mercury says: “An attempt seems to have been made, and by no means for the first time, to make Capada a base of operations cee Cuba.

He prayed that Divine ‘Providence might shape the policy, the platform and the candidate in the interest of the whole country. The convention then requested railroad com- panies to extend the time for return tickets, and followed this by resuming cases of con- tested seats from Kansas. How the District Votes. On the contested seats question the District of columbia delegates voted one vote aye and one vote no. The People’s Voice. The convention up to three p. m. had recog- uized district instead of state representation in all contested cases. In adopting the report from the committee on rules the unit rule was abolished. “*Silence like a Poultice Comes, to Heal the Blows of Sound.” The convention has been very quiet all the afternoon. There has been little or no applause in any quarter. A Sign and a Sensation. In the West Virginia contest, on the question of seating two contestants who are Sherman nen, some of the Blaine delegations broke up and voted for the contestants, who were admit- ted. This 1s the first vote indicating a break up and shows over 400 votes that Can cover Grantor Sherman. The result created a pro- foundsensation. Ohio broke up badly. The Grant Men Badly Defeated. At3 p.m. the Grant men, through ex-Marshal Sharpe, of New York, moved to proceed to a ballot, without waiting for the platform or other business. After a spirited debate it was lost on a viva voce vote. The roll was then called. On the roll call the motion was defeated. As the great delegations of New York, Mlinois and Pennsylvania divided, the applause was terrific, and the defeat of the Grant men seemed to be complete, Both District of Columbia votes were against tt. 276 for Grant—479 Against Him.

CuHIcaGo, June 5.—There were 330 votes for the negation on the West Virginia case, which are regarded by many as indicating that Blaine’s Strength in the convention fs at least as great as that vote, The Utah Contest. The report of the committee on credentials en the c sntested Utah seats was next taken up. ‘The majority report retains the sitting delegates, who the majority of the committee say were ap- pointed according to the almost universal usage in Utah by the central penublican committee, while the contestants W&e chosen by an un- authorized and irregular body. Mr. Haymond, of Calafornia, sustained the majority report, and stated that the central committee met together without any authority and elected the two contestants. The commit- tee on credentials was almost unanimous in lavor of the sitting delegates. Mr. Codman, of Massachusetts, favored the contestants. Mr. Pixley, of Cal., followed for the majority reper but could not be heard by the reporters. Mr. McBride, one of the Utah contestants, having got leave to be heard in his own case, appealed for recognition as a representative of the “live republicans” of Utah. He argued he had been chosen by a convention representing 12 of the 20 counties in the territory, the other 5 counties only polling about 6 votes opposed to mormonism, A colored delegate from Mississippi desired to know whether the contestants or the sitting delegates represented the Brigham Young mor- mons. Mr. Houck, of Tenn., tried to be heard, but as. the time for debate had expired, he was inter- rupted by loud calls of question, which irritated im so that he became tly excited, and per- sisted in what a] peared to. be denunciation of those who were interrupting him, until a storm of hisses drowned his ulterances. The Utah Contestants Seated. The roll of states was then called on the mo- tion to substitute the minority for the majority report, and thus seat the Utah contestants, re- sulting yeas, 496; nays, 312; so the minority re- port was substituted. New York voted 50 ayes, 19 noes. The vote Was In bo sense a test of strength of the re- spective factions, the ns Of different can- didates dividing. The convention then admitted the Utah contestants. The Question of Rules. Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, rising, was greeted with reat applause. He inquired of Mr. Sharpe, of Rew York, who made the minority report from the committee on rules and order of e533. oe much Ume he desired for the discussion of said report. Mr. Sharpe replied that hedid not desire to do- tain the convention unn¢ , but he couid tell better what his course would be after Mr Garfield had stated his own motion. Mr. Garfield er the anon of the majority report, and hoped any p) amend- ment would be presented before the debate should begin. Bote the majority and the mi- hority reports were read for information. The chair stated the question to be on the motion of Mr. Garfield to adopt the majority report. Against the Eighth Rule. Mr. Shi criticised the Hae) amend- ment to the eighth rule moved to strike it out, that amendment being “but if exception is taken by any delegate to the correctness of such amendment by the chairman of his dele- ation the it of the convention shall of members of such delegation to result recorded in accordanc> on rules that the convention had been in session three and a half days, and has had no trouble from the abeence of that part of the rule, which be was here for ls formed, each side was ready it: the verdict.

Mr. Garfield raisea the point of order that un- der the order of the convention the report of the committee on rules was before the body, and Mr. Sharpe's being for proceeding two en tirely different business was not in order. The chair ruled Mr. Sharpe's motion tn order. A vote was ordered by call of states. ‘This motion was at first a surprise, coming from the anti-Blaine men. Mr. Sharpe Modifies his Resolution. Mr. Sharpe modified his resolution so as to Provide that after the nominating speeches shall lave been made, the ballots for presidentia nominees shall be taken by call of the roll o states. Mr. Garfield to the Rescue. Mr. Garfield pointed out that it Mr. ‘Sharpe's motion should be adopted the convention would be without rules for its government, and especi- ally without any rule prescribing whether the unit rule shall prevail in the balloting or whether the right of district representation. 1 prevail. He disavowed the idea of the rule complained of | being a reflection on the chairman of any dele gauion, and showed the absurdity of any such idea. He reminded the convention that it had witnessed a scene which would be photographed in history, of four delegates from Kentucky rising In their seats and protesting against their votes belng counted ina way tn which they had not cast them. Let the rule be settled, and he Would be bound by it. Let it be the unit rule, or let 1t be the individual rule, and he would reet bound by it, the latter particularly, because he considered it eternally right. (Applause. Mr. Frye, of Maine,asked Mr. Garfield whether, Without the adoption of any of the rules as reported, and especially that one which mad the rules of the House of Representatives th rules of the convention, there would be any such thing as a previous question. Mr, Garfleld replied that there would not be. rrye—If there be no previous question, the one ballot is taken as provided in the resolution offered by the gentleman from New ork, (Sharpe) another —__gen- Ueman make another nomination ts there any rule by which debate from that time forward can possibly be stopped? rtield.—I take it that there ts not. ‘onkling.—The gentleman from ylelds a moment to let me reply to the cl Words of the gentleman from Maine, (Mr, Fr, They secm to have been pointediy aimed at me. i wish to say to that gentleman that I ao most clearly see the * point” ot his alarmed and anxious opposition. He dreads the cross of bayonets, shrinks and wants Ume. (Cheers and hisses. } Mr. Gartield.—I have only made the point that we ought to have rules, and have them now, to conduct and control the future business of the convention. Mr. Sharpe replied, urging that the dangers of trouble pointed out by Mr. Gartleld in the absence of any adopted rules were imaginary, Onio and intimating distinctly that there would be | no attempt to prevent each delegate from ex- pressing his individual sentiments through the Chairman of his delegation. ‘The chair stated the question to be upon the Substitution of Mr. Sharpe's resolution for the report of the committee on rules, The Coup @ Etat Fails—“Ry a Large Majority. Upon a viva voce yote the negatives had it. A call of states was demanded, and being taken resulted—yeas 276, hays 479. New York voted 48 ayes, 22 noes. ‘The result was hafled with great applause. Mr. Garfield said the convention had wasted on this vote time enough to have adopted the rules and gone to work. He asked that the question now be taken without further debate. Mr. Sharpe moved to substitute the minority Teport, which was rejected. Motion to Amend the Rules. Mr. Boutwell moved to amend the majority oe by adding the following:—And said com- mitteee (rhe national republican committee) shall wituin twelve months prescribe a method. ormethods for the election of delegates to the national convention, to be held in 1884, and an- nounce the samé to the country and Ssue acall for that convention in coaformity therewith. Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, moved an amend ment, by adding the following: “ Provided that nothing in such rules or method shall be so construed as to prevent the several congres- sional districts In the United States from se lecting thelr own delegates to the National Convention. [Applause.} Mr. Boutwell accepted Mr. Butterworth’s amendmen The Rules Adopted. Mr. Garfield hoped the amenament would be adopted, and it was so adopted by the conven- lon, and then the rules were adopted asa whoie. On metion of Mr. Garfield, the committee on resolutions were ordered to report. e Platform. Mr. Pierrepont, of New York, from said com- mittee then reported the resolutions. MK. PIERREPONT'S REMARKS, Mr. Pier ego in reporting the resolutions, said:—I need hardly say that in a committee composed of one from each state in the union, poset from each territory, and from ihe District of | Columbia, there 1s a great diversity of opinion about the questions of the resolutions to be brought before the convention. Early in the convention it became apparent that we would have a sufficient number of exciting topics to keep us active and awake, and we have endeavored in the rerolutions which we present tohaye nothing on which we could not our- selves agree and no hing that would tend to disturb the harmony of this convention or awaken angry debate or long delay. 1 have now the honor to present the resolutions which the committee has agreed upoi A Civil Service Plank. The resoltions having been then read by the secretary, Mr. Barker, of res pee to amend by adding the following: “The re- yublican party adhering to the principles af- firmed by its last national convention, of re- spect for the constitutional rules governing appointment to office, adopts the declaration of President Hayes, that the reform in the civil service shall Pe ee! and complete; to that end it demands the co-operation of the legislative with the executive departments of the government; and that Con; ‘Shall so le- gislate, that ftmess ascertained by proper prac- lcal tests shall admit to the public service; that the tenure of administrative offices (ex- cept those through which the distinctive policy of the party in power shall be carried out) shall be permanent during good behavior, and that the power of removal! for cause, with due re- sponsibility for the good conduct of subordi- _— shall accompany the power of appoint men’ Mr. Barker briefly supported his proposition.
