The committee was not ready to report on Cook county, and Robbins moved that the commit- tee on crelentials b iustructed not to admit any bolters from any county convention. Tho vote stocd: Nays 351, yers 251, giving Grant 100 ma- jority. Recess for cn> hour. THE OPPOSITION SPEAK. Tte commities on credentials this moraing heard a_statement from the men respecting their position on the pledge exacted. They would submit to the plodge to abide by the decision of the convention as they understood it, but under pre- test, as comiog from an unorganized body in which they were not allowed to take part, and only to pre- vent threatened disfravchisement of Cook county and possible loss of the state to the republican party. They said the Cook county regular delega- tion had sgreed to stand or fall togeth- er. This wasnot a threat, but it was a stitement of the action taken con- ! scientivusly. They wished it under- stood theyreservad the right to go into the convention or stay out, if part of their number were admitted. They might rescind " their decision or affirm turbince. The commitiee then ex- cluded reporters, and sfter oemisider- ing awhile, announced that thoy would not report till 1 o’clock, and the con- veution tock a recess till 2 o'clock. THE DECISION. The committec on credentisls dec’d- tion. The votestood 11 to 6. The committce then heard arguments for both sides on the Cook county cate. ., May 20, 2 p. m. —The convention is now assembling for the sixth time, having adjourned at eleven to two. It is understood that the committee on credentials is now ready to report, and the work of the convention will be vigorously pushed. The room of the commitice on credentials was the center of inter- est most of the day. In order to close in time for the session of the convention, the committee limited the debate to an hour for each of the Chicago contesting delegations. Leonard Sweit opened for the Grant men, andmade a very effective speech, He was followed by Emery Storrs in the rame bebalf, whose hap- py sallies of witandearcasm enlivened the contest in no littlo degres. Rob- ert Lincoln closed the Graut case. Kirk Haves made an appeal for the Fawell Hall men, which did him grestcredit. He denounced the affi- davits on the Grant side as being made by nobodies, end entirely untrust- worthy. He said the senatorial dele- gates that left the Farwell-Hall con- vention acted in accordance wirh the vention b:causo they were in the mi- nority; thers are men who were de’ feated in their words by 20) votes, who are trying tosteal his seat in the convention. He demanded that 92 beall put in or all kept out. Elliott Anthony closed the c se, and the committee went into secret session. The convention was very impatient and threatened to take up the case and eottle it itself. | The delay of the committee on cre- dentials is not an uomixed evil on either side. By 1t the “nti-Grant men are able tg prevent their oppo- nents from aunotmeing their defoat so as to have an effect upon the Nebras- ka convention, which was held last might, and the Alabama convention in seaion to day. Had the Iilinois con- vention taken decisive eteps yester- day, and the assult been teclegraphed to Nebraska, muchgood tothe Grant cause would undoubledly have re- sulted. Thus the Blaine men haye saved by the del: Ttis also likely that the delay has been used by some of thed shrewdest of the Grant managers for the purpose of negotiating with the committee on credentials.

It would surprise no one to learn that they had arranged matters in their peculiar fsshion 50 as to %’3 a majority report for the Farwell delegation. It is not improbable, either, that they may hope by the de- Iay tire out tae Grant men in the con- voution. All of these considerations, the pro-Grant faction by the delay. Three thousand men are here await- | ing the result, six hundred of them | being delegates. All of these persons | are aying their own expenses, and each Lour’s delay increases their im. patience. Grant managers feel that the thing bodes them no ill 50 lor the impatience continues to brew, for when the time for action does arrive, the convention will be ready to use prompt and vigorous measures. It is reasonbly cartain that during the de- lay forty one of the Pamer house delegates will be admitled a3 dele- gates- Whether the Farwell hall men ‘will bolt or not is a matter of uttorin- difference. A committee of leading Grant men, trict, will probably be appoiuted by the chair to nominate forty-two dele- gates to the Chicago_convention, ev- ery one of whom will b recognizad as a stalwart friend of the ex-president. These mén will be instruct=d to vote for Grant first, last ana all the tlme, and will be appointed by the conven- tion. OF course the izacring of con- gressional districts, and _especially those in which Blaine or Washburns have majorities, is likely t> l-al to trouble, and may eud in ab)lt, but at moat nct cver Biteen counties out of the 102 in the atate can be relied upon to go cut, and sich abolt would ba teo small to give any awurince ef successful operation. The thing may be worked out on almost any bacis and the reeult will be the same, v'z: That there will be forty-two Grant dele- gates from Illinois in the Chicago con- vention. 6 p. m.—The convention is still awailing the report of the committee on credentials. Theystand 9 to 9 on the Cook county dispute, and are now preparing a report to the effect that neither of the Cook county delegations are ro ular, but that, according to the primaries, Graut is ent'tled to 36, and Blaine and Washburne to 58 votes. 7p. m.—The committes on creden- tials stand 9 to 9. They report ignor- House conventions, s irr.gular, stat- ing that Grant men weze entitled to 36 dclegates abinito and Blaine and Waeshburne men 56. They leave the o bl caze. ‘The Inter-Ockan, the leading third- ten organ of the west, sent down from Chicsgo yesterdny four thousand copics by a special train, which made the ran of 187 miles in tive hours and forty miutos. THE CONVENTION'S WORK. The convention reassembled at 2 o'clock aad waited for the report of the committeo on credentials on Cook county. The Green county contest hai already been settled by admitting Doth delegations with o vote cach, making two for Grant and two for Blaine. While waiting Senator Logan off-red the following Resolved, ‘That dcbate belimited to thirty miuutes oneach side of theques- tion on the Cock county con'est, and that no motion to adjourn, or other dilafory moticns be ¢ nsidered ntil that qestion is desided, aud taat each delegation may select one parson from it.

The chur overralel this on the ground that the convention wes ] xot adopted rules of order. REPORT ACCEPTED.
