YESTERDAY'S FEATURES, POWELLS PERFIDY—HARRISON'S DACY, Special Dispatch to The Beg, COuicaco, June 2,—To-day has been a day of hard work. The Blaine boasts that every southern state had been bro- ken by the Blaine Generals were found to have no foundation in fact. The de- feotion of Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, was the chief topic of conversation, but it sank into ineignificance beside tho state- ment that Harrison had announced him- self as a candidate and was working in his own interest. Both of these statements were given out as rumors yes- terday. To-day opportunities were afforded for proving or disproving their truth In the case of Clayton, the Blaine men boldly claim they have succeeded in win- ming him over from Arthur, The Arthur men on the other hand deny it, and say that he is as firm for the president as ever. There is mothing, of course, by which either side can substantiate its claim to its position, Gon. Clayton may have been converted, or he may not, but thereis one thing which is very generally believed, and that is that he does not by any means carry Arkansas in his pocket, and he will find it a difficult task to de- liver. CANDI- A8 TO HARRISON and his candidacy, there is only one opinion about that: He has bren here mixing with the delegates since Friday. He said, in explanation of his presence, that it v as an evidence that he was not a candidate. A great many people believed this until yesterday, when it was formally announced that he was a candidate, and proposed to go into the convention with that understanding. CONTESTED SEATS. DECISIONS OF THE COMMITTEE, Cuicaco, June 2,—The national com- mittee resumed its session at 12:15 this afternoon. Joseph E. Leo appeared as a proxy for William W. Hicks, of Florida. The sub-committee, through Horace Davis chairman, to which was referred the case of the contesting delegation from the first Georgis district, reported do- claring the committee considered only the proceeding in the district convention as bearing on the prima facie case of the two parties, and did not go into the merits of the split _prior to that conven- tion. They find the proceedings of that convention irregular and turbulent in character, with very conflicting evidence as to its merits, but the committee deemed for the whole the prima facia case was with Alexander N. Wilson and Lauris Blus and their alternatss. Mr. Devreaux moved as an amendment that ~ the matter be referred to the committee on credentgls, and that no names be placed upou the rolls, Lost. Mr. Dev- reaux then moved as a substitute that the names of Johnson and Green be placed upon the rolls, Defeated. The report of the committeo was then adopted, Senator Jones reported verbally in the matter of the first Alabama district in favor of Messrs. Slaughter and Treat. The report was adopted without deba‘e. Senator Platte reported in the matter of the contest in the 22d Pennsylvania district, putting upon the rolls Magee and Flynn, Adopted without debate. With respect to the contest in the 21st Pennsylvania district, the committee rec- ommended that neither Sayres nor Went- ling be placad on the rolls, This would leaye Mr. West as the only delegate from the district, whose seat is not contested. The committee reported that neither Sayres nor Wentling had been regularly- elected. Senator Jones asked if the com mittee intended to disfranchise the dis- trict. Mr. Magee thought as the presi- dential preferences of the two contes tants were the same both should be ad- mitted and be given half a vote each. Vote was takem upon the report of the committeo and it was adopted. Mr. Runnells, of lowa, in the matter of the Sixth New York district, reported in favor of John J.O'Brien and Matthew J. Brady. The report was adopted with- out debate. In the matter of the nineteenth New York, the eame committee reported in favor of George Campbell and Hiram Gregge, whose names will be placed upon the rolls. Adcpted without debate. In the matter of the fifth Kentucky, the commitiee reportedin favor of admit ting Silas F. Milla and John Mason Brown, lopted without debate, The same action ken in savor of Edward } ud 5. C. Bragg In the r 2d Dlinois, Sena tor Aldrich subwmitted a msjority rep.rt in favor of admitting Powell and W, E Kent. Mr. Kent, of Maine, submitted a majority report in favor of W. H. Ruger. McCook, of Illinois, moved as a sub stitute that the name of Ruger and Pip- er be inserted instead of the names re ported by the majority of the committee. mendation with a long written report, giving his version of the contest. The contest grow out of the re-apportionment of congressional districts by which certain members of the district committee became residents of another district, but joined in acall for the primary which resulted in the eloction of the persons recommend. ed in the majority report. The contest- ants were chosen by the convention ealled by the district committee, which claimed to have been regularly elected by a popu lar vote. The substituto was adopted by a vote of 22 to 20, A vote was then ordered upon the report of the committee as amended. The substitute being regarded as a form of amendment it was adopted by a vote of 23 to 19, In the matter of the 4th Maryland, tho committee reported in favor of James W, Eardon and Henry W. Rogers, Adopt- ed withouts debat», Mr. Magee moved a reconsideration of the vote in the matter of the 2lst Ponn- sylvania. Carried. He then moved the namo of Mr. Sayres be placed upon the roll.

Curcaco, June 2,—At the conclusion of the action of the national committee on contests to-day the chair stated that nominations will be in order for tempo- rary chairman of the national convention, Mr. J. S. Runnells, of Iowa, rose to offer the name of Senator George K. Hoar, of Massachusetts, a gentleman who, in the midst of the exciting fea- tures of the convention four years ago, had presided with that rare wisdom which had commended him to the good opinion of every delegate in that body. Paul Strobach, of Alabama, seconded the nomination. The member from Louisiana said he voiced the sentiment of the members of the southern states in according all honor to Senator Hoar, and would doubtless like to see him chosen for the permanent chairmanship, but in the dis- tribution of the honors to be conferred by the convention, he thought, as a rec uition of southern republicanism, that in naming a man for a position not fraught with patronage, it could gracefully be given to a southern republican. He NAMED POWELL CLAYTON, of Arkansas. Mr, Canady, of North Carolina, seconded the nomination, OTHER NOMINATIONH, Mr. Stone, of Michigau, said that in obedience to a vote of his state delegation, he desired to nominate Roswell G. Horr, of Michigan, Mr, Magee, of Pennsyl- vania, nominated Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania. The vote stood as fol- lows : ¢ Clayton—California, Colorada, Indiana, Kansas, Louisian: ine, Mississippi, Mis- sori, Nebraska, N Carolina, Obio, Oregon, South Cs sinia, West Virginia, Wisconsin i Iduho, Montana, Washington Territory, Utah.

Addresses were made by the chairman, ex-Giovernor Smith, and Frederick Billings, of Ver- mont, Geo. Wm., Curtis, Theodore Rus- sell and Andrew D. White, of New York, ex-Governor Long, of Massachu- sotts, and delegates from Minnesota and Michigan. No resolutions were passed or other formal action taken, but the pur- port of all the spoeches was that Ed- mund’s friends would stand by him until nominated or till the convention should offer them the name of a man represent- ing the principles for which Senator £d- munds’ name stands. INDIANA, THE ORGANIZATION. Ciicaco, June 2.—Indiana organized thisafternoon as follows: Chairman, R, W. T'hompson; secretary, J. B, Kenner; vice president, J. C.

Sherman in the meantime kept up:a running con- versation with the republicans in his im- mediate neighborhood and Cameron, of Wisconsin, came up td the presiding officer’s chair and conversed with Ed- Edmunds appearing nervous, toying all the while with his watch chain, Allison also came up to Edmund’s chair and held a brief whispered conversation, Logan received a long telegram and read it, and carefully folded it up ard put it in his pocket, trying vo look self-possessed. A small group of sevgors gathered arpund Sherman, whe ks sll smiles. Twenty minutes later Hawloy walked in, unnoticed until he nearly reached his seat, when he stopped to shake hands with Ben Perley:Poore. Now Logan rises, yawus, and strotches himself, buttons his coat, and, after casting his eyes over the chamber, walks into the cloak-room and disappears. Now tho democrats come over and congratulate Sherman, as if he was already the nomineo., Harris soon relieves Edmunds, and as be leayes the chamber Hawloy disappears, and Sherman at one oclock was the only presidential candidate in the Senator Hoar, of | chamber. Meantime President Arthur and Don Cameron are closeted together, whila the house is discussing the situation, as shown by telegrams received over a private wire, which is manned by an expert operator in a rear roam near the president. Ex-Senator Blaine, whose family leave for home to-day, remains at his house here receiving messages every few min- utes and dictating replies to his steno- graphor, PERSONAL OPINIONS, HORACK WHITE'S ESTIMATE, Cureaco, June 2,—In an interview with Horace White, of the New York evening Post, he said: “It scems to me that Blaine and Arthur are about evenly matched at 300 to 320 votes each; that Edmunds will have about 100, Logan about 50, Sherman 40, Hawley 12, The following of other candidates is somewhat uncertain,” ARTHUR ON THE SECOND BALLOT, Senator Mahone, of Virginia, has pre- pared n table of estimates as to tho standing at the convention at the outset, Heo says he is sure that Arthur will have 425 votes on the first hallot; that Blaine will have 332 on t uis batlat wud 4 predicts Arthur's nomination ¢n the second ballot. CONKLING, Thomas Wheeler, of Syracuse, who claims to know whereof he speaks, says Conkling is in favor of anyone to beat Arthur, and to that extent is for Blaine.

He with difficulty preserved his temper and retorted good naturedly Douglas said the colored delegates, being mostly office holders, felt bound to vote for Arthur, but when the break came the bulk of their votes would undoubtedly go to Logan, He stated that the South Carolina delegates at a meeting to-day resolved to vote as a unit for Arthur as long as he was in the field. Should he withdraw he believed the delegation would divide between Logan and Sher- man.

AN EDMUNDS CHANGE OF FRONT.] Thus far the B lmunds mon had voted constantly with the Blaine delegates, and having helped choose 4 of the 8 o fliciala, suddenly changed front and voted with the Arthur men, that combination choos ing the remaining 4, which included H, G. Burleigh on pormanent organization, Geo, Cahoon on rules and order of busi- ness, Wm. Dowd on resolutions, and J. D. Lawson , a pronounced Arthur man, fer momber of the National committeo. There was a particular warm contest ovor the last. Three ballots were re- quired to decide it. The leading candi- datesin each were Lawson, ex-Senator Thos. C. Platt and Attorney-Goneral Leslie C. Ruasoll. The last vote stood Lawson 34, Platt 23, Russell 10, giving Lawson one majority. Spoeaker Sheard says the Edmunds men agreed to vote with the Blaine men throughout the list but broke their faith when Burleigh was reached. As a result of to-night's balloting, Sheard estimates the delegation will stand: Blaine, 27, Arthur 30 to 31, Ed- munds 14 to 15, June 2, meeting The voting for delo viva voce, & being AT THE HOTELS, THR CRUSH, CnicaGo, June 2.—The hotels are be- sieged to-night by a host which jammed the lobbies and corridors to the point of suffocation. It was composed of people aimless in their wanderings, save possibly of being near the scones of the supposed action. They found, however, the head- quarters cither empty of deligates or else barred against their entrance. At tho Grond Pacific they gravitated into the commodious Blaine quartors, possessod themselves of the campaign literature scattered about profusely; viowed the monotonously recurring pictures of the Maine man, then struggled painfully to extricate themselves from the mass, and toiled through the packed hallways to renew the experience in tho Arthur and Logan headquarters. The incredible feature was the presence of STYLISHLY ATTIRED LADIES, in groat numbers, who followed their os- corts through all the phases of the crush, and endured the rising clouds of dust and closo atmosphere with a stoicism worthy of a better cause, At the Palmer provision had, in a measure, been made against a crush, by the stationing of pollcemen at all the main entrances and the marchers were kept in line and were compelled to move up and down the stairways with military procision and necessarily at a modulated paco. The crowds showed no perceptible diminution in nwmbers till toward 11 o'clock, when locomotion became 3 little more free and unrestricied, but the stone floors, and the canvas which covered the carpeted floors, showed in the dust which covered them the impress of the army which had marched over them dur- ing four unbroken hours.

The coast peoplo with their helpers from Colorado, Novada and Oregon, will make a round of all the other hotels to-night tor the nurposo of visiting different delogations. ARTHUR, HIS SUPPORTERS WILL STICK, Cu1caGo, June 2,—The Arthur men have determined to stand firmly by their candidate to the last, and will make no combinations looking to the selection of any other man, They say this is their firin purpose, and if tho ~Edmunds men and others wish to nominato Blaine by refusing to support Arthur, thoy must .| ita collapse. liam Tecumseh Sherman, the band at the samo timo striking up “Marching Through Georgia;” when it is sad that he will through with an en- thusiasm that cannot be controlled.
