Curcaco, June 3.—~Thke republican national convention,the eighth in the his- tory of the party, convened at noon to- day. The spectacle presented at the opening was a notable one in many ways, and its description would be worthy of a high flight of the imagination. The working body of the convention, the greatest in point of numbers of any na- tional political assemblage, occupied but a small portion of the vast auditorium, The rems=ining body of the hall was filled by an audience which occupied every point of vantage, and made up a picture as viewed from the press stand of an al- most UNENDING SEA OF FACES, the sclid black and uncovered heads, relieved by the rich colors, and fluttering toilets of ladies, who were present in great force. The hall is the largest and has been termod the most complete ever thrown open fort @ work of a vast de- liberative body. It isin one sense tem- porary, having been constructed within the walls of the exposition building situated on the east line of the city on the shores of Lake Michigan. Itaseat- ing capacity approximates 13,000, Springing from the east and west sides of the hall are vast arches which rise two hundred feet in the air and relieve the view through the vast expanse of the auditorium. On the speaker’s stand are 1,000 seats, occupied by a great many persons of national repute, whose presence is by the grace of the na- tional committeemen. Swinging oyer the arches is A WIDE SHREADING SOUNDING BOARD, and embracinz the wide extromas of the building. The delegates and alternates occupy a level space bounded by equare lines. They aro hemmed inon two sides by tiers of brxes, occupied mainly by the guests of the delegates. The section of the hill ocoupied by the working body of the convention is broken by four wide aisles, from the edges of which rise ROMAN STANDARDS pendant with bluesilk banners imprinted on gold with the names of the states and territories. Beginning on the left, facing thestage inthe state of Alabama and back through the first tiers of seats fullow Ar- kansas, California, Conneticut and down through the line of states in alphabetical turn to Maine. Beginning again on the right and rear is Maryland with Massa- chusetts immediately in her front and ending with the District of Columbia in the front row of the second tier. New York occupies the front rank in the third and Ohio holds the ranking position in the fourth and remaining tier. Back of the delegates is occupied by the alternates and separated from the mein body by a hardly perceptib'e parti- tion, In the rear of the alternates is a commodious seating space, the chairs resticg on an easy incline, and cut off from the space occupied by the alternates by a line of pickets, Beginning at a puint 100 feet in the rear of the alter- nates 18 another dividing wall, snd from that point rises tier upon tier of seats to @ point slmost midway between the lovel of the hall and the apex of the doors— like roof. TO COMPLETE THE PICTURE, & narrow gallery runs along the INI NG, JUNE 1 . 1884 NO, 302, oast and west sides of the hall, its entire length and seemingly suspended in mid air, The front of this gallery is faced wish the coat of arms of the several states on a background of festooned flags, Fiut- tering from the arches are the national colors, and the flags of all nations. The prevailing color in the body of a hall is a dull Todian red to a point where the arches seem to spring from the gallery and from this point, embracing the dome of the building, is a light sky blue, The first to arrive on the scene were the st«f' correspondents and assistants representing the great journals of the en- tire country. Their accommodations proved to be ample, and the precautions taken against any possibility of confusion were due mainly to the efforts of the Hon. John O. New, of Indiana. They were enabled to find their workings with out any consequent vexation of epirit. Before 10 o'clock the main auditorium began to be sprinkled with early comers, and when the band located in the south- ern portion of the building burst forth with a maitial strain, the stream of arri- vals became stesdy and unceasing, till the scene was that of an UNBROKEN, UNDULATING SEA OF PACES The first of the delegates began to ar- rive at 11:30 and the full delegations were in their places before the noon hour. aud the following members of the United States senato wero present among the delegates, and on thismRin stage: Al- drich, Conger, Blair, Harrison, Hoar, Cullom, Piatt, Sabin, Miller, (N Y ) Plumb, Miller, (Cala.) Manderson, Sew- ell, Beiver, Mahone, Dolph, Palmer and Jones, (Nev.) Among the representatives in congress forming part of the state delegations, and among the members of the scene were Boutelle. of Michigan, Dingley,of Maine, Stewart, of Vermont, Rice, of Massachu- setts, Skinner, Burleigh and Wordsworth, of New York, Wm. Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, Bayne and Bmngham, of Pennsylvania, Hatton, of Indiaua,Libby, of Virginia, O'Hara, of North Carolina, Small, of South Carolina, Jefferson, of Missinsippi, Kellogg, of Louisiana, Hauk and Pettibone, of Tennessee, Ochiltree, of Texas, McKinley, Robinson and Hart of Ohio; Calkivs, Brown, Pelle and Steele of (ndiana; Thomas, Da. vis and Adams, of Illinois; Washburne, of Minnesota; Horr, of Michigan; Aunder. scn and Morrell, of Kaneas, and Valen tine, of Nebraska. HARRISON IN THE RING. At the meeting of the Indiana de'ega- tion this morning 20 voted to present tho name of Harrison as a candidate, and it is understood that 20 of these will surely vote for him. This action has created intense excitement and promises to upset all calculations. THR GAVEL, The gayel used by the chairmanisa beautiful piece of workmanship, of num- erous pieces of hrrdwood, closely joined, and highly polished and surrounded by bands of gold, bearing the inscription, *Presented to the Cnairman of Republi- can National Convention of 1884, by A. H. Andrews & Cv.” A lotter of presentationaccompanying it read as follows: **We have the pleasure no less than the honor of presenting to you a gavel which is made of woods from every state and territory in the Union, mcluding Alasks, and the handle of it is from the old charter oak tree at Hartford, Conn. This gavel is a solid unit and through the states speak with one voice. If the delegates from all the states and territories from which thia gavel comes will act in a manner equally united the business interests of the coun- ty will be conserved.” CALLED TO ORDER. The convention was called to order at 12:34 by Senator Fabin, chairman of the nat'onal committee. He nominated Poweli Clayton, of Arkansas, for tempo- rary chairman. Mr. Lodge, of Massa- chusetts, nominated John R. Lyncn, of Missisaippt, Debate followed which lasted an hour, when the previous question was ordered and a vote by states taken. The roll call will oscupy two hours, Ia- tense excitement prevails, as the vote is regarded in some respects as a test. PREFACED BY PRAYER. Dit. BRISTOL'S IMPLORATION, CuricaGo, June 3.—At 12:24 the chair announced that the hour having arrived for the meeting of the eighth republican uational convention, the convention would now be opened by prayer, by the Rev, Dr. Frauk Bristol, of Chicago. Prayer was then offered by Mr. Bristol as follows: *“God of our fathers, wo adore, and worship Thee, sud to Thee, by whose graco and prov- idence we ure wa.t' wa aro as & nation, we would lift our hearts in devout thanksgiving and everlusting praise, We thank Theo for our glorious national heritage, for this mag- nificent land of wealthy hills and fortile plains, aud for the laws and 1ustitutions which made it a land of progress and of hiberty.

J, A Martin, secretary of the national committee, and Chairman Sabin, on behalf of the republican committee, called the convention to order in its name. He said Chicago was known as the convention city, 1t was the ficld of republican victory; hereit was that the immortal patriot, Abraham Lincoln, was chosen; hero the party chose that great chieftain, General Grant; here it nomina ted that honored soldier—that great statesman-—that representative citizen— James A. Gartiold (cheers); every action of the party on this historic ground had been followed by victory. Having suc- ceeded against its opponents onall form- er ocoasions, it was about to put its house in order for another conflict, Aa 1 consequence of the vote adopted by the inst convention, the present body was largely formed of men instructed by their own constituents; it was therofore to be hoped that the voice of the people would boe largely pu'ssant in ita deliber- ations. [Applause ] He closed with sn expression of hopo for victory and pro- posed for temporary chairman Hon. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas. TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN. POWELL REPUDIATED, When the chairman had concluded and mentioned the name of Clayton, Mr. H. C. Lodge, of Massachusetts, proposed the name of John R. Lyneh, of Mis- souri, He said they recognized the claim of the south, and therefore he had proposed the second name as one acceptable to the republican conven- tion. Silas B. Dutcher, of New York, second- ed the nomination of Lynch. 'MORKOW RISES. Atthis point great sensation was created by a speech from W. W. Morrow, of California. He said that harmony was essential, and it could best be secured by not raising factional issucs. It had been the practice for forty years for the national committee to select the tempor- ary chairman of the convention, and a departure covld not now be made from the custom without creating bitterness of feeling. GEO WM, CURTIS TALKS. There were several delegates on their foet to reply but the chairman recognized George Wiilium Curtis of New York. The announcemeni was greeted with the wildest spplause. Mr. Curtis said this was the supreme council of the party repsesentatives who met to dpen the campaign of 1884 It had been unques- tionably customary for the national com- mittee to name the temporary chairman and for the convention to ratify it; but if the party as here represented desired it, it also unquestionably had the right to revise the action of the national com- mittee in this matter, and make a chair- man of its own choosing. HOW THE VOTE SHOULD BE TAKEN. Drummond ef Maine, moved that when & vote was taken, it be by calling the roll of states. Stewart, of Pennsylvania, sustained the motion. Mr. Harvey, of Michigan, argued that the question should be settled not bya call of the roll but by a call of states. Thus the convention could do in half an hour what it could not do in the other way in an hour and a half. Mr. Prentiss, of Missouri, could not understand the object of the proposition to ignore the action of the national com- mittee, A refusal to endorse that nomina- nation would go forward as a stigma on a man who was to be honored, as a citizen and a eoldier and statesman. Powell Clay- ton bore the mark of his love for the national fl A REFOKMER ON THE RIGHT SIDE. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt,of N, Y., fav- ored themotion of Mr Lodge. It was not without precedent to set aside the action of a committee. There were but two delegates to the convention who held seats 1n the national committee, and the convention should not be governed in such an important matter by the action of abody of outsiders. He hoped that the vote would be taken by a call of del- egates. It wasa fitting thing for the convention to select & man of its own choice, aud he hoped that Mr. Lynch, waould bs elected tomporary chairman of the convention, CARR'S SOPHISTRY. Carr, of 1llinois, argued that the ques- tion to be considered was whether or not the action of the national committee had been wise, prudent and in the interest of the republican party. If the national committee had failed i this, it should be set asid; otherwise it should be sustained. Was Mr. Clayton a fit man to presde temporarily? He was known to many of them, and~ they wero unwilling that a stigma should be placed on his great and grand nsme, [Applause.] By voting against the action of the national commt- tee, the fact would appear that it would not be proper to go before the country to sustain the candidate of a committee whose first act had been to put down a man who carried AN EMPTY SLEEVE, A delegate from South Car- [Applause. | —— olina advocated the nomination of Lynch, | but without meaning therchy any reflec tion upon Mr.Clayton. As wsouthern re- publican he wished the cleciion of Mr. Lynch Mr. Winston, of North Carolin, sup posed that the action of the national com mitteo had no more force than a mere recommondation and with all courtesy to the committeo he would say that he pro ferred somebdy else. [Applauso. He honored Mr. Olagton for having served under the national flag, but there were 100,000 colored men in the country who deserved recognition at the hands of the convention COPTAH AND DANVILLE, ho said, appealed to the nution on their bohalf, and would not appeal in vain, [Applause | Itoed, of Maryland, favored a full and freo disoussion of the question, Ho car ried himself an ewmpty sleeve, but he carried besides, a heart true to the re- publican party, and he believed it to be the beas intorests of that party to elect Mr. Lynch as its temporary chairman, Thurston, of Nebraska, oxpressed the idea that if it was the intention of the convention to overturn the action of the national committee, it should not be done under a pretext which marked the renl design ; while recognizing the colored element, they should do jastice to the oloment’ which made it possible for colored man to sit on the floor of the convention. [Applause | Benjamin,of Arkanfas, sustained the nomination of Powell Clayton as a man who had done moro than any other southern republican to olevate the repub- lican cause in the south, @ THE CHAIRMAN quoted approvingly the decision of Sena- tor Hoar in the last convention, to the eftect that in the absence of any rule the method of taking the question must rest in the sound discretion of the chair, sub- joet, of course, to the action of the vontion. This was emphatically, he suid, a convention of the people, and every delogate had an undoubted right to a freo expression of his opinion, and to have his vote recorded. [Applause.] The roll call was then proceeded with; when it was announced that Lynch had 431 votes, and was elected temporary chair- man, A SCENE OF THE WILDEST CONFUSION ensued. Dolegates rose in their seats and cheered, swung hats and shouted. Tho spectators joiued in the demonstra tion, On motion, the vote was made unan- imous. The chairman appointed Powell Ciayton, of Arkansas ; H. C. L.dge, of Massachusetts ; and W. H. Taft, of South Carolina, as a committee to escort Lynch to the chair, As the committee appeared the applause was hearty, and the feeling of disappointn.ent seemed to disappe Mr. Lynch made a good impression by hia quiet and modest demeanor. The chairman said that he had the honor and great pleasure of presenting to the convention as its temporary chairman the Hon. John R. Lynch, of Misaissippi. [ CHAIRMAN LYNCH, HIS REMARKS ON TAKING THE GAVEL, Mr. Lynch, in taking the chair, said: Gentlemen of the convention: I feel that I ought uot to say that I thank you for the distinguished honor that you have oconferred upon me; fur I do not, ~ Nevertheless, from the standpoint that Lo patriot should fail to respond to his country’s call, and that no loyal member of his party should fail to comply witn the demand of his party, I yield with re- luctance to your decision, and assume the duties of the position to which yop have assigned me, very member of this conven. tion who approached me on this subject wigh- in th: last few hours know thut this position was neither expected nor desired by ine.
