SHERMAN AS A CANDIDATE. Curcaco, June 4,—At a late hour las night, after considerable earnest talk among the Blaine delegates from Missouri and Michigan, upon the advisability of bringing out General Sherman as a can- didate as the only soldtion of present situation in the convention, it was urged that General Sherman would not permit the use of his name, or accept the nomi- nation under any circumstances. In obedience to the wishes of a majority of these delegates, John B. Henderson sent an earnest telogram to Gen. Sher- man urging him to accept, and request- ing him to send them an answer this morning. Mr. Horace White, of New York, stated this morning “that in his opinion Blaine was already beaten, and could never get as many votes in the convention as Powell Clayton did. The committeeon credentials settled the contest in the firstjAlabama district by de- ciding to seat the two delegates now on theroll, Jas. E. Slaughter and Frank Threatt. The vote on the proposition to seat the above named delegates was 29 to 16, THE GENERAL IMPRESSION this forenoon is that the chances of nom- ination of a man_not heretofore promi- nently mentioned have been increased. The names most frequently mentioned are the two Shermans and Gresham. General Sherman’s reply to Ex-Senator Henderson is understood to be a peremp- tory refusal to allow the use of his name. .ase of a break in the Blaine column, 8 understood that Nebraska will go to Senator Sherman. are determined to adhere to Edmunds, and as they are divided in opinion it is likely their strength will be divided be- tween Sherman, Gresham and Hawley, for some time. BELLOWING FOR BLAINE, These managers regard the dead point of danger for them is a drift from Blaine to Arthur. If this can .be prevented they hope fora favorable result. The Tn.?zune this morning bristles all over with bright articles for Blaine, and claim that there is no cause for disconragement on account of the Powell Clayton inci- dent, which is not regarded as a real test. It compliments Logan and the southern colored delegates, and attack boldly George William Curtis, Roose- velt, Lodge and others whom it styles litical dudes. It says the resolution troduced by Mr. Pearce to decrease the representation from the south here- after is an ungracious return for the help received yesterdsy from the south. THE CONVENTION 'was called to order at 11:17, There was an immense attendance. Weather clear. Prayer waa offered by Rev. Dr. John H. Barnes, of the First Presbyterian church, in the course of which he spoke of the vast moral and political changes which the nation had nndcrfilu. as indicated by the presence of him who now so ‘worthily presided over the convention, and he & blessing on the race and the commonwealth, the cause which that gentleman represented. He prayed that when the convention had dissolved it would have presented to the suffrages of the nation for the highest office in the t » can- didate who in Em character, in devotion to duty, in loyalty to Ameri- can institutions, in courage and experi- ence aud wisdom, should worthily suc- ceed to the chair of Washington, and thus L A us jusf ul, but al- :’::ITW inlp*ndon and » blessing to the struggling people of mankind, :':nu A. nP(l Misseuri, presented » memorial, asked that it be resd. 1t was from the president and secre of the state temperance allisnce of that state, embodying resolutions passed by that bedy M:] 6 to the conventions of the and demo- oratic parties to embady s clause in their orms, distinotly recognizing prohibis and to non.i::l L undl‘;hh- in. ae- oord therewith, k'lna neither this principle” the would wote for neither; and that if osle of ) % these did so, then the ballots of the alli- ance would be cast for the rcandidate of that party. Massay, of Delawaro, offered a resolu- tion reterring to the committebon resolu- tions the proposition to anlarge the term of presidential offico to six years and to render an incumbent of the office ineligi ble to re-election. Referred. Plumb, of Kanaas, offered a_resolution against the ownership of lands in this country by foreigners,as a system opposed to the doctrines of the fathers. Referred. Hawkins, of Tennesseo,'offored a reso- lution pledging all delegates TO SUPPORT THE NOMINEE of the convention, whoever he may be. Piorce, of Massachusetts, opposed the resolution, hoping that the convention would not bind its conscience in the manner proposed. Winkles, of Wisconsin, also oppposed the resolution, It was a declaration on the part of everydelegate that he would sup port the nominee of the convention and he thought that no such declarations was necessary. Hawkins, of Tennessee, said he had offered the reso’utionin good faith and he trusted that no mun would be found vot- ing against it. 1f any delegate was not willing to support the nominee of the convention, heshould not participate in its deliberations, (Cheers). No harm could come of its adoption, and he thought ita adoption was desirable in view of certain whispers in the air, Knight of California, advocated the resolution, and also alluded to certain WHISPERS IN THE AIR and particularly to the editorial declara- tion of oue of the great metropolitan journals as a reason why the resolution should be adopted. Curtis, of New York, warmy opposed the resolution, and referred in the course of his remarks to the convention which renominated Mr. Lincoln 24 years ago, where asimilar resolution was introduced and voted down. He also reminded the convention cf what was said and done four years ago when Mr. Campbell, of West Virginia declared that he was a republican who carried his sover- eignty under his own hat, and when (under the lead of Gar- field) the gentleman who presented a similar resolution was induced to with- draw it (cheers). He therefore asked this convention to assume that every del- egate was an honest and honorable man. He characterized the resolution as one which was unworthy to be adopted by a body of free men (Loud cheers). The chair decided that as far as possi- tble the rules of the house of representa- tives would be followed, allowing alter- nate speeches for and against. This ruling was made in response to appeals for recognition from two delegates at once, the chair deciding in favor of the man who wanted to rpeak for the resolu- tion. Senator Dalph, of Oregon, moved to lay the resolution on the tabio. Mr. Hawkias said that as his resolution had developed 80 much opposition hewould The eastern delegates | oo + withdraw it. Ewing of Pennsylvania, made a report from the committee on credentials, to the effect that it hoped to be able to complete its labors this after- noon. PERMANENT CHAIRMANSHIP. The committtee on permanent organ ization reported in favor of Gen. Hen- derson, of Missouri, for permanent chairman. ~The report was adopted. Gen. Henderson, on taking the cheir, said : Gentlemen of the Convention :—We have as- sombled to survey the past history of the party ; to rejoice, a8 we may, because of the good- it has done ; to correct its errors, if errors there be; to discover, if possible, the wants of the present, aud, with patriotio firm- ness, provide for the future, Our past hime? is the Union preserved, slavery abolished, and ita former victims equally and honorabl by our sidesin this convention; the public fait maintained unbounded credit at home and abroad, & currency convertible! into comn, and the pulses of industry throbbing with renowed health und vigor in every section of & pros- us and peaceful country, These are the ruits of triumphs over adverse policies gained in the military and civil conflicta of the last 24 years, out of these conflicts has come a race of heroes and statesmen, challenging the confid- enceand love at home and respect and ad- miration abroad, And now when we come to audard bearer for the approaching conflict our chief embarrassment is not in the want, but in the abundance of presidential material, New York has her true and tried statesman, upon whose admiration the fierce and unfriendly light of public scrutiny has been turned, and the universal verdict is, ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Vermont has her groat statesman, whose mind is as clear as the crystal springs of his native state, and whose virtue is a8 firm aa its gravite hills, Ohio can come with a name, whose history is that of the republican party itself. Illinois can come with one who never failed in the dis- e of his public duty,whother in the coun- cil chamber or on the field of battle. Maine has her honored favorite, whose eplendid abil- ities and personal qualities have er.desred him to the hearts of his friends and the brilliancy of whose genius challenges the admiration of all. Connecticut and Indiana may come with names scarcely less illustrious than these.}And now in counclusion, if because of personal dis- agreemont or the emergancies of the occassion another name is m“qli%a there yet remains that grand_o1d hero of Konesaw mountain and Atlants, When patriotism calls he cannot if he would be silent, but grasping that banner o him 8o dear, which he has already borne in Sriumph, ho wil march o civil viotory no loss renowaed than those of war. I thank you n:alcman for this distinguished mark of your confidence, The allusions to Arthur, Sherman, Ed- munds and 'were heartily applaud- ep, but when Blaine was alluded to as » man whose splendid abilities and person- al qualities had end him fo the hearta of his friends, and whose brillian- challenged mankind, o ‘stoemr of plause e out, and on the-stage; the floor, and the gelleries, men stood up, and nvincg their hats and handkerchieffs) cheered again and again, The women also took part in the demonstration, and waved t! fans and handkerchiefs. After the first storm of applause had worn itself out it was again renewed, and once sissm was as marked and intense as that which i the convention of 1880, at the tlme of Garfield's nomina- tion. It was fully five minutes before the chair was able to resume, and finish his speech, Stebbins of Arizons presented a resolu- tion to the effect that appointment of ter- ritorial officers by the president of the United States should be from actusl re- tary | sideats of such territories. Referred to the committee on resolutions. Ewing, of Ponnsylvanis, offered the following: RBesolved, That hereafter In the selection by distriet conventiens, the basls of of the ooun NO. 303. Tess than onoe half the population. of the dis. trict shall regularly unice in the call, and tho conduct of the convention, the action shall be valid, Refarred. A dolegato from Colorado presented a resolution to the effect that the commis- sioner of agriculture be made & cabinet officer. Referred to the committee on resolutions, A woman suffrage résolution was pre- sented and referred to the committoe on resolutions, Adjourned at 12,20 p. m. till 7 o’clock. ) GRABBERS, SOLUTION, FOREIGN L PLUMB'S ¥ Tho following is the resolution offored by Senator Plumb, of Kansas, this morn- ing Resolved, That Amerfcan land shorid halong ton of ‘tickets b hereby Instructad to furnish 500 tickuts of admission during the sossions of tho convention to be given to tho voteran soldiers who desire to witness the proceedings Matthows, of Illinois—T ask the unani. mous consent of the convention to adopt and pass that resolution.

This matter has had in the past a bad rocord. Brought here when Lincoln was nominatod, and brought here by the gentleman from Now York, Mr. Conkling—the Iate Mr. Conkling and I trust that this convention will not bind iteelf by a mero provinciai resolution. MR. CURTIS ON THE PLEDGE, ‘When Mr. Kuight took his seat, about seventy-five delegates arose in difforent parts of the hall and insisted on being recognized by the chair. The chair re- fused to recognize any of them, and re- poatedly requested them to be seated. Reluctantly they took their seats and a moment after the confusion had subsided, the chair said: “Che chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.” (Geo. Wm. Curtis). Mr. Curtis climbed up on his chair and began to speak. He said: ¢Mr. Chairman:” But at this point loud calls camo up from all parts of the house of ‘‘Platform! Platform!” Mr, Curtis shook his head and retaining his position on the chair said: Genglemen of the convention: A republican and a freeman I come into the convention; by the grace of God, a republican and a free JEGATES, SOLUTION, man will I go out of this convention, [Choers.] Twenty-four yonrs ago I was hare in Chicago.

Now if these tickets are to bo issued | would like to know where the gentlemen are to be seated.

All these men ask is to be permitted to como into this hall and occupy such seats as are not oc- cupied by gentlemen or ladies hold- ing acceredited tickets to those tickets. Lee, of Florida—Tha, state of Florida was entitled to so many tickets, and yet that state has been unable to obtain those tickets. There are, I understand, twen- ty-five scats that belong to that state. 1f that state cannot in any other manner obtain the benefit of those tickets she is willing to yield those twenty-five seats, that the veterans may obtain them and witness the proceedings. [Applause.] The Chair—You have heard the reso- lution. First, the question before the convention is the amendment offered by a gentleman on the left. Matthews—I most cheerfully accopt the amendment from the gentleman on my right. The Chalr—The resolation, as amend- ed, will now be read. The clerk read the resolution as fol- lows: Resolved, That the committee cn distribus tion of tickets, [Cries of ‘‘ Louder ! Louder "] Resolved, That the committee on distribution of tickets be hereby instructed to furnish 500 tickets of admission to this hall during the sessions of this convention to the veteran soldiers who desire to witness the roceedings, to be distributed according to the Basia of representation on this floor, and de- livered to the chairmen of the respective stato delogations, A'delegate from Arkansas—I would suggest, Mr. Chairman, that there are states represented on this floor who have quite large delegations here, and under the amendments that are offered they would be entitled to tickets to distribute. We have, untortunately, veteran soldiers. I think these tickets ought to apply to the states who have veteran soldiers. We should place them in the hands of states who have veterans and not in the hands of those who have none. [Ap- plause.] Massey, of Delaware—I rise to make an mendment; and that is that the resolu- n be 8o modified as that the distribu- tion shall be made of those tickets by a special committee from the delegation from Illinois—{Cries of “No! Nol"}—s0 that these tickets——[Cries of *‘No! No!” and hisses.] If the suggestion made on the right of the hall—by whom I know not, for I did not recognize the member —is to be carried iuto effect, then it necessarily will be that u great many of the states represented here on this floor, from which there are no union soldiers present, the purpose intended to be ac- complished by the resolution will have failed, Sir—[Cries of ““Nol Nol"}—the purpose being that these soldiers of the union—the men wh) nood no upoiogy be made for them in any republican con- vention and their right to be here— I say that if any other arrangement than that now contemplated by suggeation be carried into effect, it will be futile to reach the object desired. And therefore 1 would suggest that the resolution be so modified as to contemplate the distribu- longor any doubt that tho republicans have carriod a majority of the logislaturo of this state, which will secure a gain of a sonator to the United Statos senato.

[Loud cries for Tngarsoll, and - cheors Convention adjourned till to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. OGLESBY. SOME AFTER TALK. Cmicaco, June 4—After the "adjourn- ment of the convention and while the hall was still crowded there were loud calls for Ingersoll and Oglesby. The calls were kept up for a long_ time. Mr. Ingersoll did not respond to them but EX-GOVENOR RICHARD J, 0GLESBY did, and made a long ana amusing speech. alluding in complimentary terms to the various candidates for the presidential nomination. Arthur, Edmunds, Blaine, the two Shermans, ExGoyenor Fairchild, of Wisconsin, General U. 8. Grant, Har- rigon, Gresham and others were in turn complimented by the speaker and were applauded by the audience, In conclu- sion he announced that the republican party was going to win and that the American people would not_allow that party to retire from the adminisrtation of the nation’s bench, FRED DOUGLASS, After Oglesby had finished his speech, there were calls for Fred Douglass, to which, after a time, that gentleman re- sponded. He excused, himself, how- ever, on account of the loss of his voice. Then the calls for Ingersoll were re- newed, butas that gentleman was not present, a substitute was suggested in the person of CONGRESSMAN HORR, of Michigan who, came orward and made a speech. He remarked thatsix month ago they had been,told that the republi- can nomination for president would go B bez,zing. But there was not much sign of it's going & begging to-night. The edict had gone forth that this conven- tion wouls NAME THE NEXT PRESIDENT. Republican conventions had named the prenident for twenty-four years. They had got into the habit and were not going to break up the habit this year. He ridiculed the democratic majority in the house of representatives,: and it utter failure in the way of tarifl revision. “Giod,"” he said, ‘‘would not have put the gold and coa! and-iron in the bowels of the land if he thought the democratic party was going to rule the country and abolish the tariff.” 3 After Horr's speech the crowd slowly digpersed. ‘ POWELL'S PERFIDY, |HE ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN IT. Onicago, June 4,—Gen, Powell Clay- ton in an interview to-day, said : **The aggertion has been made in certain news- naners that I had pledged myselt and the Arkansas delegation to Arthur, and am now unfairly leaving him, The fact is that I have never spoken or written & word to him on the subject of his candi- dacy. I felt friendly to him and do yet, and if he had develo sufficient strength in his state and other northern states that give republican :?'oriflel I would have II:F rted him, 1 think the Arkansas tionwould have joined In this conclusion, although three of the delegates have from the first been ad- verse to him, Our state convention was the second one held, Louisisns holding the first. At that time no northern state had voiced its wishes; hence we had no light on the subject . of preference, and for that very reason our state conven- tion gaveno indiation whatever s to Row its delegates should vote, it bei smnlly understaod that our unpledg -1&:&{0&1 st Chicsgo,should be governed by r'::llc of the conventions in the it rtalned ried only about fwelve republican oon- onal delegations in the union, and failed to carry his own state, I re- luctantly came to the ¢onclusion that his candidsoy was hopeless.” Manning of Towa—1 lmfln res) to the gentleman from ware, it there is any delegation present that has plauss.] Ohair.—Before the yote shall be taken I desire to state that I have just been informed by » member of the national committee that tickets have been issued for every seat in this the house ready for the question?
