Immediately after prayer Conkling cfiered a resolution that every member cf the convention should suppert the nominee, whoever he may be, and that mo ome should hold & eeat urless he would agree to this. Hale jumped on o chair and said that convention needed no instruc- tions; that the duty of the convention was to elect the nominee over the democratic convention. If the dis- tinguished gentleman from New York succeeded in the nomination of his candidate, Hale pledged that the Maine delegation would support the nominee, and all he asked was that if they should nominate their candidste 7 that the gentlemwn would give him equal support. The resolution was then slmost unanimously carried, there being only » few diesenting votez. Conkling and Logan asked for'a call of states, that be might sec who in the reubli- can convention voted mo on such a question. The call was ordered. B Every state voted in the affirmative till Weet Virginia was reached, in which there were threo negative votes, which were ric.ived with hisees. Conkling cflered a resolut’on that the delegates who voted nay on the reso- luion do mot deserve to have a voice, sud have forfeited their right to vote in this coavention. [Applause and hisses. ] A delegate from West Virginia took the floor and said that for twenty years ho had suffered in his state on account of his republican principles, and if after that, in the city of Clmgezo he was mot allowed to ;cu his convictions, he was ready ®) withdraw from the convention. He said he thought there was a priuciple involved, and he would not himeelf to support the nominee, whoever he might be, and would not be controlled by anyone. The apeech provoked great applause. Another member of the same delega- tion who voted aye thought his broth- er delegate ¢hould be allowed to express his preferences. McCormick, fof West Virginis, madeaspsech in which he said he was one of thoss who had voted mo. Ho had been as consistant a rapubli- can as the gentleman from New York. Bo said he made one handred speeches for the last republican candidate, while the gentlemen from New York made oze. Garfield made » calm, dignified speech, which wax loudl; 20d in 'which he said zh{m from West Virxinia had not ssid would not sspport the ,"fl{ nominee, merely thow(ht it way ot time to yote on the question. He hoped the resc- lation would be withdrawn, After some debate Conkliog with- drew the resolution amidst a storm of hisses, and the commitlee on creden- tials were ordered to report. The report was emphatically in fa- vor of district representation, instend of by the state as a whole. Tne IIli- nois contestants, elected by districts, were repcrted favorably. The committee also recommended the non-admissicn of contestasts in the Niath and Nineteenth ds Pennrylvania, and the ret their seats by the Utah delegation. A mivority report wzs presented which protested against the decision of the majorily in the contest in Tlli- nois and alsoa_supplementary report protesting agsinst ibo action of the Bicrity Laf tha hiee) Qeulias’ snd West Virgini Tho-miaceily slos reportod the principle of district representa- | 2 tion in the rational conventicn and agaiost the contestants from Alabama. RULES. Hoar requested Bruce, of Misis- sippi, to take the chair for a few min- utes, which he did amid the greatest applause. Garfield, chairman of the committee on_rules, then had the re- port resd.

Cricago, June 4—4 p. m.—The Journal's Washington special says: A strong personal friend of General Grant, probably one of the most in mate friends he has in the world, say that in his judgment Graut is released from all obligations the sena- torial syndicate, and ought_to with- draw.

REPORT OF THE INFALLIBLE FEW. Ch1caco, June 4,10 p. m.—Powell Clayton, of Arkansis, presented the mivurity report from the committe on credentials, which was in substance as follows: *‘Whle concuiring largely with the majority, we dieagree withit In its ap- | g plication of the principle of district representation as changing the tim honored practices in many states.

Mot of the state conventions have selected their delegates on the_simple recommendation of district delegates. [Applause.] To adopt the’ proposed rule would be to stulify the conven- | 5, tion.” [Applauseand laughter.] The report differed from the ma. jority regarding the Illincis cases— alleging that the charges of fraudand conspiracy were not proven. InCook county, of seven senatorial districts Grant's friends carried three without question, and had a majority iu an- other. This entitled thom to forty- six delegates at Springfield, but & con- spiracy was_formed to send a solid ti-Grant delegation to the onven- ion, which was published in the Chi cago papers next day, and a full hts- tory given of the conference which led to it. The report reviews at length the charges of conspiracy and fraud on the part of the presiding officers un- proven. The Palmer house conven- tion was_ regalar. The majority of | shi the republicans of llinois in state convention instructed their delegat to vote for Grant for prosident. Isit to be contended that they did not have that right? Illinois has alway instructed her dclegates. and the del gates ha d tons. The only exoaption was in 1876, when in a Blaine [applause convention, which chote Blaine dele- gates, the'instructions, wero omitted by on oversight. Some of the dele- gates took advantage of that fact, violated the wish of the convention, and their voto defeated Blaine. ‘This report was signed by fourtoen minority members. At the conclusion of the readio; Uongor submittad a coeteeted roll, and moved that the Louisiana case bo finally taken up. Cossna, of Pennsylvanis, asked that the whole report be divided into five | $7 sections—the first to cover Louisiana and states whero there were no diffor- ences in convention, the second Ala- bama, the third Illinois, the fourth West Virginia and the fifth Utah. Conger said the majority desired to follow the order of the report, which was in eleven scotions, but he was willing to accept the suggestion and allow the Illinois delegates at large, Louitiana, Kansas and Pennsyl- vania's to be decided by one vote. In pattiog the question the chair used the phrase, “All delegates whose seats ara uncontested.” Conkling wanted to kaow what the committee had to do with uhcontest- ed seats. He was informed that the commit- tee on credentials had to report on credentials as well as contested seats. Conkling asked what was the branch of the report about which there was no difference. Conger said it was the Louisiana case, the second district of Illinois, the delegates at large from Illinois, the second and thi sas, and the fifth, ninth and nineteenth districts of Pennsylvania.

Boutwell then offered a substitute that all contested cases be decided by the usago in each state which has ex- isted, and that in each state in which the uniform usage had been to elect delegatesto the republican_national convention by state conventions, that that ussge rhall be deemed hmding, and that the same shall be true in re- spect t delegates sent by district con- ventions in states where that has been the usage. nger objected on the ground that e aaiok germane to the question.

It made no difference who was employed so far a3 the right of the delsgates rightfully chosen is con- cerned. Ohio aud Massachusetts choose their delegates by districts; wo don’t.

[At the mention of Blaine's aame the whels audieace waved their hate, shouted and cheered. Cheer after cheer fullywed for five minutes, and when Gen.

He quoted from the proceedings of state ¢ mventions in support of his arguimert. What did the gentlemn mesu when he per- verted history in his statements!

Batterworth (of Ohio)—The resolu- tlon authorizes either side to appear by some one_ontside the convention. 1f we hear the men here we shall hear quite enough, and I move to strike out that claase as conflicting with a rule of the convention. Butterworth then offered & resolution, which was passed, giving two hours to the debate. There was a good deal of confusion, and scores of delegates, who evident- ly cared nothing for the debate, left. The hour was getting late, and a two hours' contest, which would probably be drawn out still lon: ger, caused hun- dreds of the audience, alternates and guests to leave. The chairman was obliged to rap several minutes for order, and then stated that the question wason the adcption of so much of the report of the majority of the committee on cre- dentials as referred to theIllinois del- egation. Logan asked whether it was pro- posed to decide ghe question or to adopt it as a whol Conger eaid it was claimed that it was always a rule of the republican ty in Illinois that delegates be Retoa by districts. No reason parent for this innovation. HERESY OF STATE SOVEREIGNTY. We stood against the doctrines of state sovereiguty in the late war, and called the great soldier of the uation to lead our army to victory in that struggle. Does it become a republi- can convention to declare the right of a state to take away district represen— tation and thus takea fartherstep in the horesy thathss cost useo much. We can’t endure that Illinois or sny of the great states should attempt to revive this theory of representation. ‘The people are the only sovereigns in theland and they shall detarmine un- til the end of the republic what shall be their lawa and who the executor of their will shallbe. [Applause.] The report of the majority is ccrrect in rinciple and in practice and should B s ARAUM SPEECH. Green B. Raum appeared for the sitting delegates. He said, as we rep- resent the law and custom in the ss- lection of delegates In this state, we are willing to rest our caso on the law and long _years ‘of peace in our ovn state. There isnot, and never has been, & uniform ruleamong the states in the selection of delegates to the coovention. When there is Illinois will cheerfully acquiesce. The state convention has always eelected the delegates, instructed the delegates and sent them to the convention of the republican party, In 1860 it was Resolved, That, Abraham Lincoln is the candidate of this state, and the delegates from this stateare instructed to use all honorable means to secure his nomination by the convention. Do us justice and Iillnois will leave these teen mea in their seats. SOME ONE LIES. llml.rella A GODDESS OF LIBERTY. Mrs. Col. (Bob.) Ingereoll sprang on a cha'r on the stage near the Goddess of Liberty, draped herself in one American fixg and waved auother atout her head. The only quiet man_in the house was the chairman. The bands en- deavored to start up, but were not heard ten feet away. At one time thirty of the state ban- ners wero waved together in the cea- ter of the hall twenty feet above the heads of the people, borne upon the standards which divide the delega- tions. yone seemed crazed with the enthusiasm and excitement of the moment. A CHEERING MATCH Maine, California, Virginia and other states marched about the Hall over benches and crowding through the asiles waviog the'r banners. It was a contest between the gallaries and the delegates, between the dele- gates and the stage to see which could cheer tho loudest and make the moet exiravagant exhibition. Maiue's bauner was the Jast to come down. Tho tumult was finally partiallyatilled, when Green B. Raum sprang on_the back of a bench and called for three cheers for the nominee of the conven tion. They were given with a will. The outbreak lasted 35 minutes. SHERMAN FOR SECOND CHOICE. Mr. Storrs was allowed four miu- utes taken from him by the crowd. He began with: ¢ Give the grand old state which never knew_the draft nor filled her regiments with paper sol- diers, the home of Lincoln, Douglas and Grant, give her fair play, and if you caunot nominate her son, nomi- nats Jobn Sherman. [Applavse. Give us fair treatment in 1llinois. Conger asked that Col. Ingerso'), who was a proxy bs heard. Objection was made by a California delegate who asked that, they proceed to busivess. Butterworth moved that they ad- journ till 10 o'clock in the morning. The motion was dsfeated by a viva voce vote. The roll el was demand- ed and adjourrment was defeated by 103 ayes and 653 nays. ILLINOIS CASE SETTLED. The question recurred on the adop- tion of the majority report regarding Tllinois. Cesena asked a division of the question so that the ficst district be treated first. Tt was moved that the minority re- port on the first district be substituted. “The roll call result=d in 388 ayes and 351 nays. At this point the Tllinois delegats withdrew their dvmand for a further division and tbe question was put on the adoption of the remainder of the report on Illinois, It was adopted without division. At 2:25 the convention the conven- tionadjourned till 11 o’clock to-d We offer a nirst-ciass white laun- dried shirt, with an_improved rein- forced front, made of Wamsutta mus- Iin, 3-ply bosem and cuffs, of 2200 linen, at the reduced prics of $1.60.
