Roports From Various Congressional and O¢hier Conventions, ILLINOIS, THE REFUBULICAN CONNENTION, 8pocial Dispaich to Ta Bek, Proria,?lls., April 16,—The tempor- tary chairrean, Connoily, of the repub. ‘lican state convention closed 'his remarks “with references to the leading presiden- tial candidates. He first montioned the name of Logan, which was received with vociferous cheering, but &t the mention of Blaine’s name @& yell went up which fairly shook the rafters, and coutinued for a considerable period, dying down and then bresking out afresh so that the speaker was compelled to await the pleasure of the convention. The significance of thie ipertimacious ap- plause n the convention in Logan's own state, in a oconvention a large +part of whose delegates were instructed for him, was very generally commented on during the recess and was considered as a very good point as to the direction in which Illinois will turn if it becomes evident that Logan cannot be nominated. 1N DETALL, Regular Press Dispatches. Peorra, Ill., April 16. —The republic- an state convention met here at noon to- day and was called to order by A, M. Jones of Chicago, chairman of the state central committee; Jos. A. Connolly, of Coles county, wae made temporary chair- man, and Daniel Shepherd of Cook, tem porary secretary. In calling the conven- tion to order Jones referred to the banner hanging above the platform, containing the names of [llinoisgovernors, Bissell, Yates, Oglesby, Palmer, Beveridge, Cullom, togrity and patriotiem, purity of ‘character and political sagacity of the soldier«tatesman of Il Imuh. Gen. John A, Logan, whosa record both in peace and in war has refiected honor and dignity upon the state, promoted the welfara and prosperity of the natton and illuminated yar history; whose glorfous sorvices in crush. ing armed trenson and robellion gain added lustre from his recent ringing denunciation of more cowardly and skulking treason in the amny of the union, wa presont his name to the national convention'of the republican rpmy. to assemble at Chicago on the 3d day of June next, as that of a person_suitablo for repub- lican candidate for president. ¥OR LOOAN. The four delegates-at-large favor Logan and the secretary of the convention is re- sponsible for the statement that all the district delegates are ecither instructed for or favor Logan, except the First and Third districts, of Cook county, in which the delegates are unpledged. The Second district will send two delegations to the national convention, and that body will decide which is the regular one. THE COLOREP SQUADBLE, Special Dispatch to The Brr. Pronia, April 16.—The colored dele- gation at one time threatened to make troubiie by insisting on one delegate at large to the national convention out of the four appointed; this, too, after the report of the committee on the subject had been roceived and declared adopted, and threatened in @& covert way, that un- less this was aoccorded, the party could not rely on the =olid negro vote. The metter was left open. At the evening recess, and when the convention reas- sembled, a motion to adopt the commit- teo's report went through before the colored ~ delegution awoke to the situation. The demand was renewed with even mere vigor, and on a motion to reconsider they had an opportunity to express themselves fully and calm-down somewhat. When the oratory ended a motion to reconsider was quietly Iaid on the table. ‘In the last minutes of the convention, hewever, one of the dele- gates moved to increase the number of members of the state central committee r&, adding Magee, a colored man from ‘Mussac county, and this, together with the soothing words of Smith, of McLean county, appeared to make everything satisfactory again. PENNSYLVANIA, THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTYON, Harussorg, Pa., April 16.—When the republican cenvention roll was called to-day it showed the only contest was in the fourth (Allegheny) distviot, which was still unsettled although rival factions had been endeavoring all night to come to an agreement. Ex-Senator Waddell was elected temporary chairman. He eaid the news from Washington this morning behooved the republicans to stand shoulder to shoulder in the contest for the interest of Pennsylvania. It was the duty of the convention to seloct delegates to Chicago who will voice the sentiment of the state, and carry out Hamilton, and concluding with Oglesby asa prophesy, At the mention of his name the delegates cheered vociferously. He said Illinois had nominated the mar- tyred Lincoln as her first president of the United States. ‘Her first president’s name began with i the letter “‘L,” and it was probable that the Chicago convention would nominate aenother soldier citi- zen of {llinois -whose with the letter *‘L.” {Cheers.) Connelly on being conducted to the chair, thanked the convention for the hofnor and made an eloquent summary of party history, being loudly and frequently cheered. On reassombling at 2:30 p. m. the com- mittee on credentials reported no contest except in the Second district of Cook county, in which the: committee reported in favor of ‘the unpledged delegation. The report was adopted. The temporary officers were made permanent. The committee on resolutions not being ready to report, neminations were declared in order. OGLESEY. Gen. Richard Rowett, of Adams coun- ty, nominated Hon, Richard J. Uglesby for gevernar, and he was declared the nominee of convention by acclamation, the dalegates rising and cheering. ‘LIBUZENANT GOVZRNOR, Nominations for lieutenant governor were as followa: Gen. .J. C. Clark, of Cook county; John C. Fairbanks, of Cook; John ,I. Rinak, of Macoupin. Smith was declared the nominee of the convention, and it was made unanimous. At this point in the, proceedings Mr. Oglesby wuppeared on the platform and was received with cheers, the delegates rising and wavng their hats. The nomi- nee made a speeck accepting the nomina- tion. DELEGATES AT LABCE.

The names of Littler and Reaman be- ing withdrawn at the conclusior of the vote, the telless proceeded to reekon up the result, pending avhich the report of the committee on delegates at lage was presented. i J.

HOUSE. «Mz. Russell (rep., Moas;) made an elaborate argument in opposition to the messure, and deprecated the reopening of the tarifl agitation after the country had enjoyed a rest but for ashort period of twelve months. The interests of the people could be best subserved by letting the tariff laws alone for the prasent. This bili. was brought in as a challengo to fight in the coming presidential campaign., The republican party, the protective party, accepted the challenge. It stood ready to go to the people atanding by the policy of warift law so adjusted to givo a revenue to the government and protection to American industries. He controverted the statement made by Morrison yesterday that the wages re- ceived by tho 1,600,000 shop and field laborers of this country did not average over-§300 a year, by citing situations in Lawrence, Mass., where & population of 100,009, wholly employed i lsbor, had deposits of $17,000,000 in sawings banks. | He contraated this state of facts with the fact that in Manchester, England, having a populetion of $350,000, the sevings de- posits in banks dil not amount to one- Lalf thavsum, He dwelt more espocially an the denger to whichthe wheetindustry was subjected by an increase in the com- petition of India and Russia, and pre- divted that within five years the agricul- tural section of the country would be de- manding increased duty on wheat. Ho hoped the democratic party would not,by hasty and inconsiderate action, disturb the business interests of the country for political purposes, Mr. Blount (dem. Ga) said he was notaéree trader; he believed in wetting the revenue generally from importations, butno legislation could be enacted which eould make the rich richer and the poor poorer, on the pretense of elovating American labor above the pauper labor of Europe and keeping the home market far ourselves. Mr. Ohace (rep,, R. 1) was espocially antagonistic to that portion of the pend- ing bill which reduced the duty on wool. The woolen industry was already bur- per cent. wae made & protty large pro- portion of all the mills in the country would be stopped A reduction of 20 per ceut. on the entire tariff list would theow out of employment 1,000,000 per- sous, who wizh their families consume 63,000,080 bughois of wheat.
