Gorham says, this morning, that there has been no talk of a sec- ond choice, that the Grant forces are organized thoroughly, that sll uncer- tain quantities have been eliminated, and that they wold fight it out to the bitter end. THE FIVE MINUTE'S RULE. At a meeting the committse on rules this morning a resolution adopting the five minutsrule was adopted. Grant's friends regard this as an attempt to gag Conkling and others. E THE CROWD. The convention ball was much more crowded than yesterday. The spec- tators were early on the scene, and were apparently most anxious for the battle to begin. When Conkling entered the hall he was even more loudly cheered thsn yesterdsy. Among the spectaters to-day were Mrs. Fred Graut, Mrs. Don Cameron and two sons of Prerident Hayes. CALLED TO ORDER. The convention was_called to order at 11:45. * Thechair directed the ser- t at arms to remove all persons rom the epace set apari for delegates, who didn’t belong there. Considera- ble delay and confusion followed in carrying out this order. ANOTHER DELAY. After prayer by Dr. Noble, of I cago, the chair announced, that he awaited the convention’s plehsure. Conkling immediately took the floor to Inquire whether the committee on credentials and contested seats were ready to report. The chair understood that the com- mittee would not report before four o'clock, whereupon Conkling said this information agreed with own, and that no business be done ungil the conventionknew wereentitled to seats, aud he with great reluctance, on of numerous other dele- getes and himself, moved the conven- tion take a recess till six o'clock this evening. He thought the motion would facilitate business. Mr. Hale made a point of order that the motion to fake a recess was a de- ‘batable motion. The chair maintained the point of order. 3y A LITTLE BREEZE. Mr. Hale opposed Mr. Conkling's ‘motion in & vigorous speech, saying he :gved to adjournment yesterday with understanding that the committee would be ready to report this morning. He thought much business could be done while awaiting the committees to report, and cited the convention of 1876, and stated that the convention forbusiness. [Cheers.] Conkling took_the, floor sgain and was “greeted with great applause. After qutet had been restored, Conk- [a ling raid he made the motion only for the conveniencs of the convention, but was very glad he made it, as if he bad not done so, he would have been deprived of the eloguence of b distinguished friend from Maine. Conkling sgain stated that no bus meées could be transacted until com- mittees report. Conkling said the committee on ru'es bad adopted a resolution mot to report until the committee on oredentials re| , sad he thought it would be much This brought Hale to his feet. His better to adjourn till sppearance was greeted with tremen- dous and repeated applause. When Hale began speaking the cheers were foamed, aod cries of Cpatform.” e said it was purcly a question of parliamentarylaw, and said if the rule provailed of not proceeding with busi- ness until all contested seats were set- tled. there would be no legisla- tive body in the able to do business He said the senate of the United States wasnow engaged in considering a con. test, namely, that of Louisiana.

A motion was made to lay on the an took the floor to say that the credentials of bdth the contesting delegations were in the hands of the committee, and that Jcy's notice would not be -in- order-4Hl after the committee reported. A motion o lay it on the table was lost, and the roll of states op Joy’ motion was ordered, . Befmoln bal- said he would not enter the field of sar. lot was taken Mr. Joy withdrew' his motion. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. It was ordered that the committee on permanent organisaticn mow re- port. The report was resd, the temporary organization perma- nent, with the exception of sn addi- ions] secretary and a long list of vice presidents, one from each state. Mr. Frye, of Maine, ssid that the report of the committee on rules aud order of business, should be requested to report. Mr. of New York, said as there would be mujority and minority reports, he asked that it be delayed until the committee om credentials reported. Mr. Garfield said that under the agreement the committee would not render a report until the committee on_credentials had reported, unless ordered by the convention. RECESS. After some discussion Frye with- drew his motion to. haye -the above- mentioned committees report, and moved adjournment until b this atter- noon. gonkling immediately took the floz: and i & very witty and very sarcasti speech wn;gmlnud the Maine dele- gation upon having arrived at this Bappy conclusion, and after having ac- complished such momentous_business as had been transacted since he (Conk- ling) made his motion toadjourn. Conkling’s sally was loudly applaud- ed, and then numercuscalls for Frye aud Hale were heard. Frye finall got up on bis chair and astd in behalt of the Maine delegation that he hed to return the distinguished gentleman _from New York and to heartily thank him for his congratulations., He only hoped the geatleman from New York would boe as ready to congratulate the Maive delegation when the con- vention completed its labors. Long and continued applause snd waviog of hats followed. The motion for a recess till 5 o'clock was adopted. A meeting of the national commit- tee was announced to take place im- mediately after adjournment. 'POINTERS. 5 Bpecial Dispateh to°Tus Bxs. Cnicaco, June 3, 4 p. m.—TIt was evident from the applause_which the alleries lavishly bestowed on Fr fm- and other friends of Blaine that at least their sympathies were with the anti-Grantites. i is & fact that can not be denied, even by Mr. Grant's warmest friends.

Towards the latter they sre particularly bitter, but they favor Eimunds or some new man. Special Dispatch 1o The Bee. Ciicaao, Juve 3, 10 p. m.—In re- ply to Hale's speech in " opposition to the adjournment motion of Conkling, Me. Uonkliug said: I find, Mr. President that I have been able to es- tablish, and very unexpectedly, a claim to the gratitude of this coaven- tion. Baut for the little motion which 1 had the honor to submit, the con- vention and the country would have been deprived of the eloguent_speech of my distinguished from M The motion was one of mere convenience, and I beg to assure my honored and amiable friend from Maine that he need notb; ';Il timi.d in res to any possible effects it will hfi?nn the cause in which he is s0 strongly zealous. The gentleman from Maine says the convention is ready to go to work. Mr. President, the only work that we shall do be- tween now and 4 or b o'clock is to alt here on uncushioned seats, fortunately with backs, while a large number of others sit in_the galleries on benches, without cushions or backs, and the whole question is whether for the con- venience of all concerned we aball pass the time here in waiting. or let every- body take care of himself. Itis sn open secret—and I allude to it because the gentleman from Maine says the re- port of the committee on permisnent erganization is an uncontested one—it is an open secret that present i- zation of the convention as to its is to be continued, and although the honorable &.fiw comes m the same ion of country whicl gives us &J t'eman fra;j.iu- portion of the country peopled main- Iy by orators [laughter and cheers]—I hardly believe our t presidi officer will feel called upon to indulge the convention in & second presiding Irooh. ‘Therefore, could the honora- ble gentleman have the report from the committee on permanent organiza- tion and hnnx .;uu -pubig, q-u: proceedings I have no objection, will have that proceeding -{mh.vh ever it occurs will not occupy five min- utes of the time of thia convention, and when that proceeding has ocour- red we shall have come to the end of the business that can be transacted, unless we intend to do that which on reflection no delegate will advise. Mr. Prestdent, there are very grave ques. tions concerning membership of the convention—questions whish go deep in mni to the isation o:‘ z republican party and in respect rights of states. It has been said in public journals that on all g ewm sudirony in which the gentleman | committes on rules knaw the mepi- A MORNING EDITION.

[Cheers.] 8o that there is no busiuess that can properly be transacted until we havea report from the committee on contest- ed seats, and unless my honorable friend from Maine will give me some hope that we msy have the plessare of listening to & speech from him, I feel strongly inclined to insist upon my motion, and if it would be a motion in better form, to change it to a mo- tion that the convention ‘do now ad- joura uatil 6 o'clock, I will do so. ut, Mr. President, I will not make that motion 1f any member of the convention rises to debate. If no one does I will make it, satisfied as I am, though I owa it most reluctantly, that the wisest thing we can do is to come here frash in tho cool of the day prepared to stay as mavy hours as Deceesary to advance the business of the convention. HALE'S NUDGE. Mr. Hale, in reply, claimed thut the rule that nothing could be done until contested seats were settled, in log lative bodies would work the govern ment harm. He cited casey in_con- gross whero seats were contested and business proceeded nevertheless. In closing he said: I shall not enter with the gentleman from New York the field of irouy and sarcasm in which he is 80 expert. [Cheers.| The little power that 1 have has been cultivated in other directions. [Renewed cheers.] 1 leave that to him, only saying that i T am less rasping than he this morning, and more amiablo-than he, this vast sugience knows why it is so. [Prolonged applause.] On motion of Mr. Frye, to take recess until h o'clock, Conkling said: As one member of tbe convention, I intend to vote for this motion, bat my conscience would nct be quiet in doing so until after I congratulate our friend from Maine. [Loud applause,] Iam not willing, I say, Mr. Presi- deot, to part with the society of my hooorable friend from Maine from mow until 5 o'clock until I have con- gratalated him upon this_happy issue of all our sfflictions. [Great laugh- ter.] It must stir the patriotim, of every delegate to know that this oon: veution, in its unorganized state, ris- ing In its might, has been able to ac- complish the momentous, the critical, the portentous buainess which -has) beeu sccomplished since my motion was mude a few minutesago.

It is signed by the ntatives of nine states, with- out which the nominee of this conv tion can not be elected. I resent the point of the morning session that my word an not betaken without the en- dorsement of the di i lor from Obio, Gen. Garfield. I move to amend that the committee on creden- tials report immediately. Gen. Garfield—A suggestion was i tee, and concurred in n, that the report should not be submitted until after that on credentials. There was no understanding that it could not be de- manded_by the convention at sny time. Under the five-minutes rule it is specially specified that the time ma be extended by the convention. these rules are now sdopted it should De agreed to give a longer time in the debate on the credentials report, but that is a question to be decided when the report comes up. Mr. Oonkliog—I would like the knowledge on which I think every delegate must vote.

Such was the unanimous conclusion of the committee and such the tenor of the adjournment, from which no man d| ginented. Now it is asked that the credentials committes report.

If there is any reason why its ¢l should not come to us I whould hear it, and if thers be no resson it will cultivate good feeling on our part to have it done. Mr. Henderson - There seems to me to be good reasons. The majority and minority of the committee on rales are both ready to report. The committee on credentials has three states to coneider. They cannot complete their report until morning, and should not be interrupted. The gentlemen of the committes should also be present on this floor 'to sustain their report. The rooner we get some limit to speech making the better off we shall be. Geon. Sharpe—I demand s call ot the roll. The chair said the request was proper, and ordered the roll call. ‘clerk proceeded to call the roll, tes being applauded. chalrman stated that under instruc- tiobs from his state convention he re- twenty-four votes aye.

Mr. White—Yes, sir. four stalwarts in Kentucky. The Chair—Four votes will be re- corded In the negative. The chairman of the Kentucky del- egation arose and desired to speak, whereupon the chair eald that no gen- {loman has a right to the ficor except to change his vote, if it has been im- properly reported.

NO ADJOURNMENT TILL SATURDAY. ‘Special Dispatch to the Boa. Onicaco, June 4—1 a. m.—Just before putting the motion for the convention to adjourn Chairman Hoar announced that the members of the old mational ropublican committeo would mest immediately upon ad- journment at the Palmer house. The sossion was devoted to the settlement of the confusion regarding the distri- bution of tickets. It was reported that five hundred tickets apportioned to the veterans had been properly dis- tributed. It was ordered that regular delegate scason tickets be issued for the Tilinois delegates possessing prima facie right to scats, to be relinquished if the report of the committee on cre- dentials made it necessary. The committeo, fearing that the convention would be prolonged _until Saturday, pansed a resolution - direct- ing the sub-committee to give orders that tickets issued for Friday be good for Saturdsy. _ MUSIC AND HURBAHS. There was more excitement on the streets last night than atany time since the clans sssembled. All the bands were brought into requisition for serenading and processions were marching up snd down yelling for Grant, Blaine, Sherman ‘and other candidates. DIVIDED VICTORY. The principal topie of discussion last nigh* was the vote by states yesterday afternoon, and was interpreted by the partisans of Blaine asa Graut defeat ;ml by the Grant men as a Blaino de- oat. GRANT'S STRENGTH. Fiyesays that ho hes fizured up the first ballot very closely and gives Grent 285 votes. Bob Ingersoll eays that Grant will have 309. BLAINE BRANDED AS A MONOPOLY MAN. The Pennsylvania delegation sere- naded the New York delegation at the Grand fic last night. On behalf of the visitors Gen. Owens made s speech announsiog the certainty of Grant’s nomination. Senator Conk- ling, in response, declared that Grant was a stranger to defeat, and would gain the momination, though his friends were pulling no telegraphic or other wires in bis behalf, as were those of an honorable gentleman from the north. In this brief speech he bristled with ironical allusions to the support ot Blaine by great corpora- tions. Hoe was astonished st the bit- terness that assailed Grant. Tanner, of Brooklyn, made a char- acteristic speoch, saying that the war veterans waated to follow once more the flag of that victorious hero. W. W. Hicks, of Florids, stigma- tized as an insult the argument that thesouthern states furnished no_elec- toral votes, and referred to Hayes' n!;c:linn, which the Florida vote de- cided. CONCRESSIONAL. SENATE. Wasnixarow, June 3.—In the star route transportation bill, on motion of various senators, the following places were included in the points of destination: Omaha, Peoria, Quincy, Keokuk, Alton and Cairo.

The four Grant delegates were thus seated with- out the removal of aoy of the sitting delegation. It was then decided that all the sitting delegates should remain on the floer, and that the four Grant contestants should cast four votes and the sitting delegates should be enti- tled to cast the remaining six votes.
