I know of no reason for its omission, and I therefore move that that territory be called.” Chairman Hoar—If there is no ob- jection the territory will be called. Mr. Conkling—There is_objection. [Sevsation and applause.] Mr. Presi- dent, ] arise to a question of order. The chair—Tho gentleman will state bis queetion of order. EOSCOE LAYS DOWN THE LAW. Mr. Conkling—It is this: The na- tional committee, through its Broper he Te- ex- all or- organ, prepared and.presnted & ro on which, as 1 am informed, the s'ate of Louisiana, for one, was~ omitted. contest, was omitted. The resolution under which the convention has acted was based on that rule, and it_has been called, and I submit that it is not in order after the execution of that resolution to move either that Utah, or Louisiana, or any other state or territory omitted, now be pl upon the roll. 1 have no right to speak on the merits of this question, but whenever the motion in respect to Utah is in order, I beg to be heard on the merits of that controversy. [Ap- plause.] OPINION OF THE CHAIR. The chairmen—The chair is of opinion that the roll is the roll pre- pared by the national committee, and that the order of the convention em- braced in that resolation has been ex- ecuted; but the chair can not hold as a matter of order that it is out of order to move now to call another territory. [Cheers.] - Mr. Conkling—Will the chalr sllow me to inquire of the cheir whether it is in order for me to move to amend the motion by adding as well the state of Lovisisna. 1 do not make that motion, mor do I appeal from the de- cision of the chair, but, with great r.- spect to the chair, I beg to ssy that, like many delegates around me, I understood from the resolution of the gentleman offering the motion that the committee and all concerned were to abide by the sgreed on rules. [Cheers.] Mr.fFtye, of Maine—Mr. chairman being a member of the national com- mittee and having taken part in all the proceedings of that committee since we have been in session in this city, I desire tosay to the convention snd to tbe gentleman from New York, that it was agreed by that committos that Utah should be put on the roll, [Cheers] And Mr. Ohsirman, I de- siro to say farther, that the secretary Ef-the national committee, standing by e, says that he Jeft Utah cff by mistake.

The chair then stated that if there was no further objection Utah would be added to the roll and ealled by the ©commi ttee. The Chalrman—Is there any farther objections to the resolution? "If there is not the secretary will call the terri- tah was then called in accordance with the ruling of the chair. The episode created considerable excitement in the convention, which was on the quivive for any appsarance of belligerency between the leaders ot rival elemsnts. Governor McCormick’s resolution was then read and was to the effect that the roll of s'ates be callcd for the presentation of credentials and notices of contest, and that all contests be referred to the committees without debate. The resolution was adopted without dissent. Alabama reported thres contesied seata. When Illinois was called, General D. B. Henderson, of Iowa, presented the credentials and a memorial from the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Niath, Tenth, Thir. teenth and Seventeenth districts of this state. The announcement was received with loud and prolonged cheers. ‘When ex-tiovernor Warmouth an- nounced the credentials for Louisiana, one of the delegates asked for the privilege to send with the regular pa- pers the papors of the contestants, which was grauted. Penosylvania announced cont:sts in the Sixthund Ninth icts. Both the regular crodentials and the papers of the contestants were tent to the committee. When Utah was called in regular order Mr. Conkling arose elowly from his seat and s3id: *‘Being requested to do #0 by the representatives of U-ah, I beg leave to present the protest aud papers which conatitute the cotest from that territory.” The papers were sent to the committee ‘When the call of thestates had been compluted, Senat r Logan, of Illinois, offired the followingresolution: Reswlved, That the committee on di-tribution of tickets is hereby in- structed to fornish each day to the chalrmau of the Veteran Soldiers as- sociation five hundred tickets of ad- mission for distribution amorg the members of the association. Senator Logan made a brief speech inaupport of the resolution, stating that the veterans expected to be treat- ed by this convention with the rame courtesy as by former conventions. Hs understocd that the application made tothe national comm-ttes for ticke's had been voted down, and all be asked was that the cos i should do them justice, Durivg Logan said that wbile he did not want to complain of the national committee, yet he would tay that, al though he was a delegate-at-large, and his seat was unquestioned, he had been obliged to enter the convention hall bty means of a provisional ticket, signed by James B. Root. Gen. Kilpatrick, of New Jersey, arose to second Logan’s res lution. The Chair—I recoguize the gentle- man fcom New Jersey—Mr. Fitzpat- rick. (Laughter and spplause.) Gen. Kup.mck_x;rpmiek, Kilpatrick. (Reuewed laughter.) Kilpatrick, in the ocourse of spoech, said that he favored the reeo- lution most hea: snd did not care whom the veta ored politically, they had a right to witness the pro- ceedings of the republican conventicn, and, for my part, I never turn my back on a soldier, no matter who he may favor for president. r Logan’s motion was adopted with but one diesenting voice. It 'was then 2:56 o'clock, and the chair announced that the committes on permanent organization, resolutions, rules and order of business, were re- quested to meet immediately at the back of the stage. AN ADJOURNMENT MOVED. ‘When the bustle and confusion con- sequent upon the retirement of the members of the committess had par- tially subsided, Senater Conkling,who had for some moments been endeavor- ivg to attract the attention of the chair, was recognized and said: “Mr. Cbairman, there now four committees of the convention with- deawn to commence their duties It is poasible that one or two of those committees might be able to report in season for an evening session, but there is auother one, or two, which can not be able to report before to- morrow morning. Until the reports are received from those committees, from the committes nd contested seats, virtually no business can proceed in the convention. Therefore, at the suggestion of a number of delegates, s well a3 in accordance with my own impressions, I suggest that our conve- nience would b:h:nlldwer:d, and that probably we uld conclude our labors a3 soon, were we now to ad- journ to a_convenient hour in the morning. By 11 o'clock I should hope that sl the committees would be ready to report, and then the ac- tual busivess of the convention may begin, and that we may speedily con- elude the work which has, in my be- lief, s0 much to do with the future welfare of the country. Therefore, Mr. President, I move that this con- vention do now adjourn, to mest to- morrow morning at 11 o'clock.” Eugene Hale, of Maine, arose from. his gl-o-. and began to speak. Before his first words wers audible to any ex- cept those in the immediate vicinity, Mr. Conkling turned and said: “‘And I withdraw the motion to allow the honorable gentleman from Maine to ‘make his suggestior . Hale said: “T only rise to say that it seems to me that the proposi. tion of the gentlsmen from New York isone that do:s accord with the busi- ness of the convention. If we had an evening resion not more than one or two committees, upon which probably no discussion would arise, would re- port, and it would only be the bring- ing of ns here fora briet time with nothing accomplished that could not be accomplished in an hour to- morrow morning. I hope that the suggestion embodied in the motion by the geatlemsn from New York may mlil, and that the committees may full scope to work.” Mr. Conkling then renewed his mo- tion, which was carried without dis- sent, and the chair declared the cone air, of ascertsining where there were con- tests; where there was no contest from astate, that that s'ate should be passed, and that the member of the committee from that state should be requested to indicate to the secretary, as soon as he could, any errors that there might be in the roll printed by the secretary. The motion was car- ried, A'recess was then taken, and when the committee resssembled the roll waa called, sud there being six states with no representation on the commit- tee, the question aro e #s to the pro- prioty uf proceeding withcut them. A motion to was carried. Tt was voted to rec mmend to the convention.that ths Oregon delegation be empowered to ill vacgaciee. 3.

All mattors pertaining to proxies and alternates being disposed of, tte question of con trsted state delegations came up, and the Alabsma contested o380 waa first taken up. It was moved that the pame of J. T. Rapier ba inserted in the creden- delegate from the Fourth district of Alibams. The records ot the Alabsma stato convention were read, to the effect that Mr. Rapier elected a de'egate, provided that within twenty-four hours after notice ho appeared before tha president of the state convention and pledged him- self to vote for Grant. A letter was read, showing t'at due notice had been given Rapier, and that he had never complied with the provision. It didn’t appear that thero was any pro- vision made for a successor to Rapier in the event of his non-compliance or that the convention had ever rescinded the elec'ion. Mr. Turper tcok the ground that Rapier had not been elocted a delegate or was not entitled to a seat in the convention, because he had not com- plied with the conditions of bis elec- tion. M. Rapier, who is a colored man, made anergament in his own behalf and oreated a great deal of amusement by his ready answers to the questions put to him by his opponents.

CHicaco, June 3, 1. m.—The skir- mishing tn_ the convention, in which Conklivg snd Frye locked horns, awakenod excitement among political workers. and the conest was the sub- ject of discu sion in every group. Mr. Fryo was veady to talk, as he sat at dinner late in the afternoon. He is for Blaiue, of course, and looks for a strong showing for his candidate from the start. _He was a-ked by a national asso- ciated press reporter what the little flurry over Utah indicated, and he said: “‘It means that the Grant men are on the olert for everything that can by any possibiliy count for ths Blaine men.” Regorter—Did Mr. Conkling know that Utih was left out on the call of states by accident 1 Frye—Perbaps, but it looked alittle thin. He got out of it gracefully, though. Iden'tees why he tried to make a point against me by sorcas tical'y alluding to the quality of my voice. R.—Do you thiok ho is reconcilod to the abondonm:nt of the unit rule? Fiye—No, neither Conkling nor Cameron are reconciled to its aban- donment. There is no telling how their plans will crop out to-morrow. There will be no graceful giv'ng up. Did you observe how worn and troub- led Cameron locked? Matters have not gone ss he would have them, at all; his expsrieuce with tho national committee has nearly worn bim out. R.—Do you think that in case Grant is not_nominated on the first ballot there will be a bresk-at once? Frye—No, the vote will pull slong between Grant and Blaine for several ballote, but there will beno balloting until afser a stormy time over creden- tisls. R.—Then the compromise did not extend beyond the report of the dom- mittee on mdentiah?o Frye—No, the compremise by no means smoothed ma'ters, for to mor- row Conkling and Logan are prepsred to fight every inch of their way, and it is by 1o pesans settled yot that Geant will be out of the way for two days, i at all. .—What does Maine tay about second choice ! Frye—Not much so far; but Ed- muds is coming forward strongly in all the New Eogland states. R.—How about Windom ? Frye—Windom is a very probabls candidate. We can go to Windum without any hesitation in case he promises to be nominated on the final bailot. R.—How do the Blaine men hope l:) s forward after the initial bal- 0 Fryo—They expect their strength will come very largely from the Sher- man men, as soou as the latter sco that the Graut break does not help them. The Sherman men are trying to keep down his vote on the start, to save him from the knife that is now aimed at Grant. R.—Can Blaine stand the assault of other men 7 Frye—Yeo; his mon will atand by him {0 the last—snd every one of ;g;:—n they did in Cincinoati in R.—What candidate do you think has grown stronger to-day 1 Frye—Blaine, by all means; and you will see to-night evidence in plenty that the city is full of Blaine men, and that his friends have so or- ganized themselves, in the convention and out of it, as to astonish everybody before to-morrow night. R.—What do you think of" the anti- Grant talk aboat not voting for Grant in case he is a candidate 7 Frye—I thiuk it is all wrong, though any man ought to be dropped the minute it is shown that he is not the strongest man before the country in sll sections. No man covers the whole country like Blaine, ROSCOE’S RECKONING. Conkling said in conversation with intimate sonal friends that he counts with certainty on 410 votes on the first ballot for Graot. CHICAGO MAN’S EYE TO BiZ. Our reporter talked with Long John Wentworth after the secret caucus,and hesaid: “Ob, mo! We don’t expect to nominate Grant on the first ballot. There would be no fun inthat and Chicago would get no good out of the convention if we sent them home so soon. Bat Grant will be nominated.” HOAR EXPECTS NO CONFUSION. Judge Hosr remarked to a repre- resentive of the national asso press: *“The position of chairma not one in which I take any great ide; it is, however, risky, as when- ever & convention goes wrong the chairman is blamed. I, however, pre- dict an orderly and harmonious co vention, as there is no party to contest ‘whose i Tics in the di- rection of confusio Judge Hoar retired eatly to get s good night's rest for the coming or- deal. BLAINE NOT AFRAID OF HIS RECORD. Blaine telegraphed one of his friends yesterdsy _that should he bo nominated he will briog the whole matter of his personal record forward in such a way that the opposition will be able to make no campa‘ga issue of it. —— MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
