SHERMAN DECLINES AND SO | DOES JUDGE GRESHAM. | gc ee THE ARTHUR MENS CONUNDRUM. ———.—___ Special Dispatch to THE EvENING Sran, | Cmcaco, June 4.—The second day of the con- | Yention opens with clear, cool weather, and with an Interest intensified by ® possible ballot. The | Blaine men made the night almost hideous with | their brass bands. Speech-making and processions | appear to be still at the front. ‘The hotels were 0 crowded that for a time it was quite impossible to ‘get in or out,and mensat on the curbstones awaiting a chance to get to thetr rooms. GENERAL SHERMAN DECLINES TO PERMIT T118 NAME { TO BE USED. There has been a great deal of caucus- jing going on during the night and this | morning, and there seems to be little or no doubt that a movement will be made to resent General Sherman’s hame to the convention. During the night there has been a telegraphic cor- | Tespondence between ex-Senator Henderson, of St. | Louis, the permanent president of the convention | and an intimate friend of the general, and the re- Sult is a positive deciination to permit ‘his name to be used. ‘This 1s construed to mean that he will | not consent to be named as long as his brother Is 1n the field. Gov. Rusk, of Wisconsin, tells Tre Sar that his delegation are ready by a tnanimous understand- | Ing to present the general’s name, whether he de- clines or hot, at the proper tne. They are aux- fons to be at tie head again in repeating the Gar- | fleld experiment of four years ago, JUDGE G HAM STILL DECLINES. | Two western delegations have proposed to put Judge m before the convention, but he still declines the use of his name as long as Arthur is a candidate. TALK OF “HAWLEY AND LINCOLN. At the New York headquarters this morning many of them seem to prefer Gen. Hawley, and the talk was Hawley and Lincoln. THE CONUNDRUM AT ARTHUR NEADQUARTERS. A visit to the Arthur headquarters found his ‘managers by no means jubilang. They also de- clared that Blaine could not be nominated, but when asked how they expected to nominate Ar- thur they failed to explain. Said John D. Lawson, of New York: “Itis clear that Blalne cannot win; | there are 430 men tn the convention against him, but how we are to put Arthur through 1s a conun~ rum.” One thing the Arthur leadersare positive about, F they will not agree to unite with the Edmunds men on a dark horse. Said one of them: “Sooner than | permit that kind of nonsense 25 of our fellows: will goto Blaine. We New Yorkers are here for Ar- thur and not for anybody else.” SECOND CHOICE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATES. Col. A. L. Snowden, a delegate and superinten- | dent of the United States’ taint at Philadelphia, in | Speaking of the second choice of the Arthur men from Pennsylvania, says that they are for Lincoln, He says he thinks that hé voices the sentiment of the administration delegates in so speaking, while those wiio are classed for Blaine avow thelr Inten- | Uon of voting for Edmunds if they find that Blaine | Cannot be nominated, General Sharpe and other friends of President Arthur in the New York delegation disclaim re- | Sponsibiiity for the issuing of low caricatures of | Blaine, wliich were circulated in some of the hotels last evening. ‘There 1s reason to belleve that the original intention of the originators of the scheme was Co blackmali the Blaine managers. THE 16 TERRITORIAL DELEGATES have agreed to go solidly toany candidate whom that number of votes will nominate at any time during the convention. In the meantime they will | follow the preference already announced. Between | | Blaine and Arthur they will divide, 9 for the for- ier and7 for the latter. THE NEW DEPARTURE CONCERNING THE NEGRO. J. Milton Turner, of St. Louts, who used to be | minister to Liberia, says in regard to the tempo- | rary chairman: “I think this occasion will draw forth the best reflection not only of the republican party, but of this American nation itself and the world at large, as to the sincerity of this new de- parture concerning the negro.” Perry Carson voted for Clayton and not for Lynch | as reported. ‘The canfuston was so great at the close of the ballot that it was difficult to get the | territorial vote, in which the District 1s located, | AN IMPORTANT SECRET CONFERENCE—8HERMAN AND LINCOLN THE NAMES BEFORE IT. It {s generally reported that a secret conference attended by about fifty teading delegates from the leading states was held early this morning. The | object was to discuss the situation and endeavor to settle upon some candidate whose name might be presented to the convention and receive the sup- | port of a strong majority at the start. Itisclaimed that the meeting represents a majority of the | Yotes in the convention, and. that whatever dect- | ston it arrives at will have a¥ery important effect. | upon the convention. It Was finpossible up to noon to locate the meeting, but that 1¢ was held there {s little doubt. It ts Sald that. the two names which are receiving the most attention in its hands are those of Gen. W.T. Sherman and Robert T. | Lincoln. ANALYSIS OF THE CLAYTON-LYNCH VOTE. Whitelaw Reid, Tom Bayne and other Blaine | Men have prepared an analysis of the Clayton Lynch yote, which shows the following results: Assuming Clayton to represent Blaine and Lynch the opposition, they deduct from the 388 votes tor | Cayton the 6’ from Connecticut. 25 Logan votes from Illinois, 4 Arthur votes from Virginia, and 4 | Logan votes’ from Missourl—39. ‘This leaves the | Blaine vote 349. To this they add 1 Blaine vote cast for Lynch in Arkansas, 2 in Towa, 2 1n Michl- gan, 3 in Kansas, 1 in Wisconsin, 1 In New Mexico, 2 4n Idaho, and 3 tn Loulstana—15 1 ali. Adding | these to the 349 they make Blaine’s strength 364. ‘This 1s claimed as the development of the test vote in Exposition hail, and UPON THIS THE BLAINR MEN BASE THEIR CONFI- DENCE. ‘They donot, however, claim more than 3% or 340 votes on the first ballot, their prospective Indiana losses, On account of Harrison's candidacy, not ‘being included above. By deducting trom the 431 votes for Lynch the Eami votes in Massachu- setts, the Sherman votes in and the Edmunds and other anti-Arthur votesin t§e west they reduce the President's strength to 298, THE FIGHT OF 1880 RENEWED. ‘The Chicago Inter-Ocean to-day says: “The fight in 1880 18 about to be renewed, The elements of | miei | that day areentered into this, The indomitable forces ofthat are the vital elements of to-day, and like the shadow of promise coming events have fairly been i.” TROUBLE IN THE OHIO DELEGATION. In the Ohio delegation this morning they con- cluded that if they could unite en William T. Sher- man they would vote for him. Someof the Ohio le got Worked up into faver heat over the ‘sud! coin thett minds hate es now & prospect of going into the convention with a unit (rer bes ‘Uon, and at first the idea of supporting the r Sherman received the warmest applause, and Gen. Sherman was boomed strongly for the nomination. It was proposed to hold a conference and by a vote bind the entire delegation to support one favorite son, but before this me could be convened there appeared a spirit of nsion. New issues came up. Some of the delegates who were Sher- Man men when it was the r under consid- eration were not when it was the sol- dier brother who was to be elected. 80 the brethren fell out themselves and talked and discussed the mai in an in- formal manner for several. hours without arriving at any definite understanding as to what course ‘was to be pursued, COL, INGRRSOLL’s P1G STORY. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll says: “It reminds me of the farmerand his pig. The farmer could not keep his pig in pen nor field, and so finally coaxed itinto the house. Very soon jumped out of {he farmer fooued out end just Seer enek ore tall switching around the corner, w the size of he remarked: | * Yall, Ee Ot, anyhow.’ Itis r. Blaine’s » A CONVENTION OF SOLDIERS AND BAILORS from the different states was held at the Gault house yesterday afternoon. Dr. E. A. Adams, of the District of Columbia, was elected president, and Capt. Frank G. Duhurst, of Baltimore, secre- . tary. The preamble and resolutions offered were unanimously adopted for Logan. GEN. MAHONE AFTER HIS PESERTERS Gen. Mahone made every effort, at a meeting this morning of his delegation, to recover the three de- ‘serters from Arthur, but it didn’t succeed. There 1s no doubt of the aiimission of the delegation, and Mahone threatens to have it polled on the presi- dential vote, so that the country may see, he says, “who the traitors are.” The Dezendort headquarters are very quiet. A WASHINGTON COLORED MAN'S TICKETS. W. H. Outlaw, colored, from Washington, D. C., came into possession of a couple of tickets to the convention, and considering that his expenses war- ranted their disposal, on Monday placed them in the hands of a colored brother named D. D. Dawson, Whose acquaintance he made after bis arrival here. Dawson Was to sell them to the highest bidder. Falling to see anything of his broker, Outlaw had him arrested last night by Officer Smith and booked forswindiing. ‘The tickets were found on Dawson, who claimed he had not yet found a purchaser. Tickets are selling to-day for 75. CTARACTERISTIC SPEECH OF FRED. DOUGLASS. There was a large mass meeting last night of colored people, which was attended by all of the colored delegates. Fifty-one colored men from | Washington attended. n the course of his speech | Fred. Douglass sald: “Now we colored people, for I am colored, although some folks have tried to read me out of the.race because Ihave done In one di- rection what my father did in another.” Laughter and applause) “A man sald to me ately, ‘Douglass, I_hear you have disgraced your- self in the color of your wife.’ I said, that’s a mls- take; you are satisfied with the color of your wife, and ij am with mine. ‘That's as far as your bus! ness goes. You have no right to be fooling about mige. It’s all this prejudice against color. (Laugh- ter.] When the Israelites were emancipated they wanted to help themselves to the jewelry of the Egyptians, and they have been holding on to jew- elry ever since. When the Russian serfs were freed ‘they were given three acres of ground each. When we were turned loose we were driven upon the high- Ways without anything but stomachs and hearts. We are American born citizens, and we only ask to be treated as well as you treat ‘aliens. Give us fatr play and tet us alone. Good night.” [Loud and pro- longed applause. } THE INHARMONIOUS DISTRICT DELEGATION. The District of Columbia delegation does not seem to harmonize. Col. Carson says Postmaster | Conger does not pay any attention to him, but fills | the position of the District on the convention com- mittees without consuiting nim. He says he puiled Conger through tie District convention, and he don’t like such treatment. Carson has given nis | Vote to Col.

UPROARIOUS OFENING OF THE CONVENTION. The convention opened very uproarious on a reso- lution offered by Mr. Hawkins, of Tenn., that every | member of the convention support the nominee, whoever he may be. Light, of California, favored it, and hoped that even’ editors of republican | papers, even periodicals, meaning Geo. Win. Curtis, | + would be included. ‘This was received with a great | round of applause, which brought Mr. Curtis to Lis feet, Who made a’ ringing speccy In opposition to | the resolution, and cited such at$mpted action by Conkling four years age ‘The resolution was then withdrawn by its mover, because he said that Gartleld had opposed it four years ago. GEN. HENDERSON AS CIATRMAN. The committee on permanent organization re- Ported for president of the convention ex-enator | Henderson, of Missouri, who was escorted to the | chair mmid tong rounds'of applause. Sixteen years ago he was severely denounced by resolution of the | Chicago convention of that day for votlng against | the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Mr. Hen- dersou made a brief address for harmony and vic- ry. WILD ENTHUSIASM FOR BLAINE. He spoke well of the candidates, but when he mentioned Biaine’s name the entire convention and the galleries rose to thelr fect and again and again broke out in terrific bursts of applause. Hats were thrown up, handkerchiefs. and banners waved, aud nine thousand throats seemed to shout themselves, hoarse. After the fifth round a spectator on the stage halloed, “Hit ‘em again,” and another round burst forth. When General Sherman was alluded to the applause was very tame, which excited some com- ment, and leads to the belief that the convention 13 against a dark horse. rhe committee on credentials announced to the convention that they will not be able to report Ul Jate this afternoon or early this evening.

AL By Associated Press. 7 THE SHERMAN DECLINATION. Cuicaco, June 4.—At a late hour last night, after considerable earnest talk among the Blaine dele- gates from Missourl and Michigan upon the ad- visability of bringing out Gen. Sherman as a can- didate as the only solution of the present situation | in the convention, it was urged that Gen. Sherman Would not permit the use of his name or accept the nomination under any circumstances. In obedience to the wishes of a majority of these delegates, John | B. Henderson sent an earnest telegram to Gen. | Sherman, urging him to accept, and requesting him to send them an answer this morning. BLAINE ALREADY BEATEN. Mr. Horave White, of New York, stated this morn- ing that in his opinion Blaine was already beaten, and could never get_as_many votes in the conven- tion as Powell Clayton aid. THE ALABAMA CONTEST. The committee on credentials settled the contest in the first Alabama district by deciding to seat the two delegates now on the roll—James E. Slaughter and Frank Threatt. The vote on the proposition to seat the above-named delegates was 29 U0 15. DARK HoRSsEa, ‘The general impression this morning ts that the chances of nomination of a man not heretofore prominently mentioned have been increased. The ames most frequently mentioned are the two Shermans and Gresham. General Sherman's reply to ex-Senator Henderson is understood to be a remptory refusal to allow the use of his name. n case of ‘a break in the Blaine column tt is under- stood Nebraska will go to Senator Sherman. The eastern detegates are determined to adhere to Edmunds, and as they are divided in opinion tt 1s likely thelr strength will be divided ‘between ‘Sher. man, Gresham and Hawley for some time. These manigers regard the dead polut of danger for them to be @ drift from Blaine to Arthur. If thts can be prevented they hope for a favorable result, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE'S WHOOP FOR BLAINE. ‘The Tribune this morning bristles all over with Drht articles for Blaine, and claims that there 1s, no cause for discouragement on account of the Powell Clayton incident, which is not regarded as a real test.

CHAIRMAN HENDERSON'S SPRECH. The following 1s the speech of Gen. Henderson, of Missouri, permanent chairman: “Gentlemen cf the convention: We have as- sembled to survey the past history of the party, to rejoice as we may, because of the good ft has done, . If errors there be, to discuss If possible the wants of the present and with patriotic firmness history fs the Union presery very abolished and Its former victims equally and hon- orably by our sides in thls convention; the public faith maiutzined; unbounded credit at home and abroad; a currency convertible into coln, and the pulse Of industry throbbing with renewed health and vigor in every section of a prosperous and peaceful country. These are the fruits of triumphs Of over adverse policies gained im the military and civil confitets of the last twenty-four years. “Out of these conflicts has come a race of heroes and statesmen chailenging confidence and love at home, respect and admiration abroad. And now, when wecome to select a standard bearer for the approaching conflict our chief embarrassment. 1s not in the want but in the abundance of presiden« tial material. “New York hasher true and tried statesman,upon whose administration the flerce and even untriend- ly light of public scrutiny hes been turned, and the | universal verdict 1s ‘Well done, thou good and | fai thful servant? “Vermont has her great statesman, whose mind is as clear as the crystal springs of his native state, and whose virtue ts as firm as its grantte hills. | Ohio can come with a man whose history is the | history of the republican party itself. Illinois can | come With one who never failed in the discharge of | public duty, whether in council chamber or on Meld of battle. Maine has her honored favorite, whose splendid abilities and personal qualities have endeared him to the hearts of his friends, and the brilllancy of whose genius challenges the ad- Tiration of ‘all. Connecticut and Indiana may come with names scarcely less illustrious than “And now, in conclusion, if, because of personal disagreements or the emergencies of the occasion, another name is sought, there remains that grand old hero of Kenesaw mountain and Atlanta. When patriotism calls he cannot. if he would, be stlent, wut grasping that banner, to him so dear, which he has already borne in triumph, he will march to a civic victory no less renowned than those of war. I thank you, gentlemen, for this distinguished mark of your confidence.” A STORM OF APPLAUSE FOR BLAINE. ‘The allusions te Arthur, Sherman, Edmunds and Logan were heartily applauded, but when Blaine was alluded to as a man “whose splendid abilities and personal qualities had endeared him to, the hearts of his friends and whose brilllancy of genius challenged the admiration of mankind,” a storm of applause broke out, and on the stage, the floor and the galleries men stood up and (waving thelr hats and handkerchiefs) cheered again and again. The women also took part in the demon- stration and waved their fans and hand- kerchiefs. After the first storm of applause had Worn itself out, it was again renewed and Vention of 1880 at the time of Garfleld’s nomina~ tion.
