Unseating of the Conkling .Delegaticn From the First Oneida District. Chauncey M Depew Sclected as Permanent Chairman of the Convention. New York, October 5.—The enor- mous_crush of politicians made the corridors of the Fifth Avenue hotel impassable. The excitement was not great, except over the chances for ad- mission, this being in unusual demand and impossible to get. So badly had the arrangements been made that many delegates had not got cards half an hour before the convention met. The state committee met in the par- lors of the Fif:h Avenue hotel at 9 a. m. There was a full attendance. Ex- Senator Platt presided. At that hour all hopes of any agreement between the two factions had been abandoned, although there was less feeling of hostility than at the meeting of the compromise committee. When it ended at 12:30 this morning the state ¢ mmittee had an entire stalwart majority of 19 to 6 and proceeded to make up the formal roll of the con- vention and of course held a secret session. Those put on the roll were understood to be almost or quite stal- Wi Rumor had it that these changes ‘make up of tLe roll would ive the stalwarts a majority of the con- vention. This was denied by theout- side stalwarts and is not belieyed by the half-breeds, who think- that the election of the state comwittee will be fair in spite of the stalwart majority, and that the latter will do more har- moniously than was expected a few hours ago. At 10:30 a. m. the state committee was still in secret session. New York, October 5. —11 a.— m. Gen. Curtis, of S8t. Lawrence county, ente ed a protest against the admis- sion of a certain delegation, but was overruled aad the roll call proceeded. Senator Conkling’s ‘name was not called as one of the Oneida county delegates, but that of his alternate. v York, October 5.—The com- mittee hus adjourned after agreeing to make Congrossman I, Hiscock temporary chairman with the proba- bility that he would be made perma- nent chairman. This was agreed to by the whole 19 stalwarts, the half- breeds voting, at Collector Robinson's suggestion, for Warner Miller, Sharpe, in the convention, will make a speech and nominate Hiscock for temporary chairman. An amendment will be made to put in Miller, and the half- breeds expect to force this to a vote and test the mutual strength. THE CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER, Ex-Senator Platt called the con- vention to order at 11:10. Frayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Hastings, of the Forty-secona street Presbyterian <church, At 11:20 the roll call was ordered, and is now being called. Ex-Senator Platt refused peremptory to nomivate Senator Miller, and the demand was nsisted upon by the half- breeds. New York, October 5, 11:45 a. m. —Warner Miller has just been elected temporary ehairman of the republi- can state convention, New York, October 5.—There were several verbal corrections made on the list, and one delegation asked that the members not named who were seated on the pladorm should sit with the delegates. Platt announced that all delegates must take their places on the floor, Speaker Sharpe then got the floor and said; ““Pursuant to the action of the state central committee Tnominate for the position of tempo- rary chairman Hon. Frank Hiscock.” [Applause.] Mr. Hiscock got the floor and was interrupted by Mr. Pomeroy, who de- manded the floor. which was given to Hiscock. He said: “I must, Mr. President, peremptorily decline the nomination,"” Sharpe—Notwithstanding Hiscock declines the temporary chairmanship T must insist on my right to vote, for which I call. [Applause. ] ) Pomeroy — Understanding, as I do, that the nomination of Hiscock is against his wishes and against his consent, I nominate in his stead for temporary chairman, Hon. Warner Miller. [Prolonged applause]. On motion of Bliss, the rules of the state assembly were adopted as the rules of the state convention, The roll was then called. Hiscock and Bliss, both supposed to be close to the president, further voted for Miller. The vote then stood: Milley, 208; Hiscock, 190, On a call for a unamiuous vote there were afow scat- tering uoes, Mr. Miller then took the seat with cheers and began apeak ing. MILLER'S SPERCH, He said that he accepted the clec- tion as a testimonial of the regard of the party to Garfield, (Cheers.) upon whose eulogy he entered, and was heartily applauded. With the first mention of President Arthur's name there was applause and ke was eulogized as first and foremost in the sympathy and support of the party, as he had been for many years. We hide all old enmity of party and meet here to-day as members of the repub- lican party of the United States, [Applause.] Tts record can never be effaced and if any party has a claim on the confidence of the country it is our own; but if they fail to appreciate the issues of the hour they will go into the history of the country with their predecessors. That is for the party, largely by its action to-day. to determine. At present the great majority of the countgy is unwilling to accept of any | other party in power. The questions of administrative reform, finance, and internal improvements aré para- mount, The party still has thé con- fidence of the country throughout. The party has seen that the hbnesty and integrity of the country hag been prescrved. The present admimistra- tion only comes to you in consgnance with the views and work of tle last fifteen years. We all know the of the successful funding movément and other propesitions adopted recent republican admimistrabions, which have saved us £50,000,000 an- nually in interest, and now we| want protection of home industry and home labor, which is practically brought about under the present laws, (Applause.) and mo philogoph, of" free trade can lo\'uxtl:m}:- them. Laboring men are better paid, better housed and better clothed than those ot any other country. Ofl our commerce I can say that supremacy went from us with the war, but the time has come for rebuilding 1t and to sce American ships in every part of the world, All the powers of ;the government now rise from the gereral government and not from the states. Civil service reform has passed out of the line of discussion and it 1s now only a question of how it shall’ be done. 1t is a fixed fact and repudiates the old democratic view of “‘to the victors belong the spoils.” This 18 not a government of office seckers. Mr. Miller alluded to the manufacturing facilities of the ¢country; to the cause of education and the future of the party, and, in conclusion, thauked the convention for the place given hi“k A temporary secretary was then chosen and Senator Wooden moved (= that the committee on credentialsire- port. After a short explanation by Sharpe in regard to the meeting held last night to secure a harmonious conven- tion, a wotion to have the chair :n- point was adopted with half a dozen scattering noes. General Husted moved the appoint- ment of a commiitee on permanent organization, After a resolution to take a recess to 3 p. m. had been made and with- drawn, the secretary announced the committee appointed by the chairman. New Yoxrk, October 5—2:30 p. m, — The republican state convention at 2:10 p. m. took a recess until 7:30 p. m. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CONTESTED SEATS, It was not until 8:56 o'clock that the convention was called to order, the delay being caused by the failure of the committee oun contested scats to report before thet time. Geo, Bliss read the report. Among the delega- tions unseated by a vote of 12 to 4 were Roscoe Conkling and other sit- ting dclegates from the first Oneida district, and the following were scated: Samuel 8 Lowry and fellow-contes- | £ tants by a unanimous vote. They al- lowed the George W, Curtis delegaiion from Richmond county to retain their seats and by a un wus vote decided against the admission of the irregular delegations in New York city. The committee concluded the report by a resolution that all ques- tions of a reorgunization of the party, both in the city and other districts, be referred to the state committee with power to act in cvery case. This, after some discuesion, was not acted upon, but was made a special order for action after organization. The balance of the report was unanimously adopted. The sitting delegates who were unseated by the report were allowed to remain in the hall and take seats upon the stage, and their va- cated seats in the body of the academy werc taken posscssion of by the admitted contestants, This done, ex-Speaker Husted, of the com- mittee on organization, reported that the committee had agreed upon Hon. Chauncey M. Depew as permanent chairman. This report was adopted unanimously, amid great applause. Senator Miller, the temporary chair- man, appointed Speaker Sharpe and Theodore M. Pomeroy asan escort to Depew, and they accompanied him from his seat to the platform, where his presence again inspired foud ap- plause. Depew thanked the conven- tion for the honor conferred upon nim, and ina short speech outlined what he believed to be the future pol- icy of the republican party upon ques- tions of national finance, honor, edu- cation and political economy. He dealt upon the question of civil ser- vice reform, and said that recent events had forced the question upon the people. There was no further escape .from practical consideration and proper scttlement. The American people would no longer tolerate such an nfamous political system as that which made possible the assassination of such a president as Garfield was, The common people, who furnished G the republic, know now where the cancer was in the body politic. They would insist on its complete removal, Depew then paid a glowing tribute to the virtue, ability and patriotism of President Arthur, and hoped that every repub lican in the country would extend him the same individual which they gave him when they voted for him on the same electoral ticket as Garfield. After _the conclusion of Depew's speech Hus- ted offered a resulution that the re- publican party of New York favor 1"umnlq~ suffrage. Referred to the committee on resolutions.

SprirarFieLp, lin, October 5,— Governor Cullom has offered a roward of $500 for the capture of the noto- rious Williams brothers, who recently turned up in Pike county, and killed the sheriff of Calhoun county, who attempted to capture them, besides wounding two of the posse. Since that time they have been roamin, around Calhoun county and have ha little trouble in avoiding capture, They seem to obtain considerable aid from citizens of Calhoun county, eith- er through fear or friendliness, and their capture has been found thus far to be impossible, One of their recent exploits was to ride into a small vil- lage saloon and order the drinks for a crowd of loafers. The loafers drank, but the desperadoes did not. They promptly rode away and no one attempted tomolest them. They are heavily armed and carry a Henry rifle anda powerful field glass, by the aid of which they have been able to de- tect pursuers long before t,hqy are dis- covered by the ofticers. Their capture will be a big feather in the cap of the officer who effects it. ~- e LS ‘Wintry Weather.

Washington Special to Chicaga Times. PRESIDENT ARTHUR’S POLICY. Secretary Kirkwood returned to- day, and is the only member of the cabinet now in the city. He does not know yet whether Mr. Arthur will need him in his cabinet, and like most other people here, does not ex- pect to know until about the time the senate meets, if then. Like all his colleagues in Garfield’s cabinet, ex- cept MacVeigh, he will probably con- sent to stay without any great amount of urging. The gossip of the day indicates a growing impression that Arthur will administer the gov- ernment on a policy purely his own, and to that end will call about him a cabinet composed of men more in sympathy with his views than those who are at present at the head of the several departments. But CHANGES ARE NOT LOOKED FOR in the near future. Having gone to Now York, as is supposed, to har- monize, so far as possible, the warring elements of the party there, it is ex- pected that he will take care not toan- tagonize those he is now anxious to molify b{ making any wholesale change. It seems to be understood that Grant will not giveup his private interests for any place in the cabinet, and as he has been spoken of chiefly as the probablesuccessorof Mr, Blaine, it is not unlikely that the latter gen- tleman will remain as long as he wishes, How long he may find it l)luummt to do so, of course, is prob- ematical. A western member of con- gress who has recertly spent some days in New York says that stato and city will bring all the }Inreuure pos- sible to bear to place s New Yorkerat the head of THE TREASURY; and this, he added, will be stoutly re- ted by the eutire west. There is a strong sentiment here in favor of the retention of James in the postoffice, The prosecutors of the star route cases sist that their great reliance is in hin and if a change 18 made it will greatly endanger their chances of success. He is being quite warmly backed by the press of the east and by many politicians of influence, but it is quite probable that the result of Wednes- day’s convention in New York will have more to de with the settlement of his case than all other influences combined. If the stalwarts are rough- I{I handled, a¢ it;now seems probable they may be, it 18 notimprobable that the victors, some of whom are now in high federal position in New York, may be made to FEEL THE TRON HEEL of the !Jppfln!!ol’,ljllfl to keep them from being puffed up with the vain glory of earthly things. To do this, more changes are likely to be made here than will otherwise be thought necessary. Theso changes, it is thought, would include the retire- ment of Mr. James, in_ order that Mr. Conkling, or some New Yorker who would be satisfagtory to him, might take control of the more power- ful machinery of the treasury. Presi- dent Arthur's friends here insist that he will look ¢bove and beyond all lmrmnul considerations in choosing his advisers, and do what his better judgment dictates will bo for the in torests of his administration. Just at present nobody scoms to protend to quess who the new members will bo in caso n sweeping change is made; but everybody appears satisfied to think President Arthur will do as Tyler, Fillmore, ard Johnson did beforo him; make changes one at a time, as good opportunities offer. THE SENATE ORGANIZATION A PROSPECT OF CONFLICT, Wasmixagrox, October b, --On Friday there will be a preliminary consulta tion among the democrats as to the course to be pursued when the senate meots on Monday. As matters now stand, the democrats intend to olect a president pro tem. and a successor to Sccrotary Burch before the now Iy-elected republican senators are sworn in, If this is attempted there will, of course, be trouble. There ave said to be several demo crats,-however, who quietly proter to make somo agreement with republi- cans in advance, if that can be accom- plished. Pondleton and Garland have been mentioned as holding theso views, but, when approached, they say they have not authorized any state ments of their opinions, and that they will await thei ty caucus and ex- pect toaside by The president of the senate will be 8o close to the pres idencyof the United States—only one life intervening—that both republi- cans and democrats are anxious to possess that office for themr re ive party, and feel that it is worth a struggle. The following senators are alrcady in the eity: Johnston, Ingalls, Harris, McMillan, Teller, Morgan, Garland and Pugh. Tt iy cortain that Mv. Gorham, the republican caucus nomineo for secre- tary at the last session, can not now ¢ the umited vote of the repub- 1 sonators, and probably not half it, Riddlebergor, however, would be elected wergeant-at-arms, if that office fell to the republicans. There is no disposition to retreat from the arrangement with Mahone, who will be here and certainly vote with the republicans, ‘It is concealed by the republican senators here that they would concede all the minor offices to the demoer in return for the election of a republican presiding oflicer In addition, they will agree to the formation of the committees on the basis of absolute equality of the i;):u‘tiua. Tt is positively asserted that avis will act with the republicans to elect u presiding officer, should the unsworn senators be admitted previous to election. DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS, The democratic senators have de- cided to hold their caucus next Fri- day evening. MUTILATED SILVER COIN. Director of the Mint Burchard has issued the following: The govern- ment has fixed no_valuation for muti- lated silver coit, ollier %nan the market value of the silver they con- tain, They are purchased at the mint by weight as bullion, and the value depends upon the price of silver, CAPITAL BRIEFLETS. President Arthur remained quietly at his resdence to-day and has re- cewved no callers except a few mem- bers of the house. The white house is now closed to every one.
