THIRD DAY, THE POLICY OF THE BLAINE MEN. Coxnvextiox HaL, Cuicaco, June b. —Tt is reported that the Blaine managers have resolved to endeavor to break the policy of delay heretofore pursued by the Arthur and Edmunds managers and push matters to a conclusion. While fighting stoutly in the committees they will con- tent themselves with that and not invite resistance in open convention. This seoms to b their best plan, They also hope to defeat the independents by in- ducing Arthur men, who also are opposed to a dark horse, to come together on some late ballot. Col. N. A. Reed, of the Centralia Sentinel, said toa reporter of the associated press this morning, that all this tajk about Gen, Sherman not be- ing a candidate was HUMBUG, Col. L. M. Dayton, of Oincinnati, who was_the general’s personal and most confidential staff officer in this city, has been circulating extensively among the members of the Loyal Legion, of whom there are a great number in the city. Col. Dayton said: *‘Iknew that General Sherman had never penned any suoh dis- patch as it was rumored he had done, saying that he would not serve as presi- dent of the United States even nominated., The g:: General Sherman attained the highest honors which can be bestowed jupon any man by the American people. He isawareof this. On the contrary, John Sherman, while he has had great honors bestowed upon him, has seen honors beyond and above this which he has notlenjoyed. Aslong asJohn Sher- man was in the field or rathar nntil he had reached the fruition of his ambition, his brother, the general, would not allow even by implication his name to be pre- sented, used, or whispered. Now 1isis certain that John Sherman doesnot stand the slightest chance of being more than meutioned in this convention. At this juncture, the friends of General Sherman are in no ways antagonizing the interests of his brothcr, John Sherman, when they say if the American people seo fit to honor William Tecumseh Sherman asa_candidate for the nomination of president of the United States, he will not decline the honor. *‘Now, mind, " continued Colonel Dayton, “‘General Sherman is not seeking the nomination but his friends have been as- sured that a large number of delegates will support him in case it is known that he would not decline.” CALLED TO ORDER, Cuicaco, June 5. —The convention was called to order at 10:54 and was opened with prayer by Bishop Fallows, of the Reformed Episcopal church, He prayed that those who might be elected by this convention for the loftiest posi- tion to which mortal man can aspire shall possess every qualification of body, mind, and heart for their high and holy trusts; that personal preference and in terests should yield to the just demands of a true and broad patriotism, and that a qualification of choice should be made by the people in an unmistakable man- ner. Henry Ballard, of Vermont, chairman of the committee on credentials, re- ported that sessions of the committee had been almost continuous, leaving mem- bers no time to rest. He took pleasure in saying that proceedings had been en- tirely harmonious, and without reference to personal preferences. The result was & unanicous report, which anuounce ment was received with applause. The report of the commitice on credentials was then read by Mr. Fort, of New Jersey. It was to the ecffect that the sitting meanbers in all the conlested cases are entitled to their seats excopt in the cnse of the Ninteenth district of New York and the Fifth district of Ken- tucky, where both delegates and con- testants are adwitted, to cast half vote each, 1In the Virginia case the com mittee found unanimously that the dele- gation headed by Senator Mahono was entitled to the seats, The report was adopted without discussion. THE RULES, Parks, of California, from the commit- toe on rules reported that the committeo had adopted substantially the rules of the 4 last convention,except that it recommend- ed the adoption of Cushing’s manual as the parliamentary law of the body, in- stead of the rules of the house of repre sentatives, except that the previous ques- tion is to be in force, as in the house. Grow, of Pennsylvania, from the mi- nority of the committee, offered a substi- tute for the 10th rule, which proscribed the mode of delogates to the next national republican con. vention, He proposes that delegates shall be elected in the same manner as members of congress, Parks accepted the proposed amendment, Grow having explained that the delegates at large are to be elected by state conven- tions and that the manner of electing delegates from the District of Columbia should be prescribed by the national re- publican commitieo. The rules wore then adopted. ORDER OF BUSINESS. Parks offered an additional rule the order of business, Bayne of Pennsylvania, moved an amendment to it so as to make the or. der ofbusiness as follows: First—Report of the committee on platform and resolutions. Second-—Tho call of tho roll of statos. Third —Presentation of candidate for presi. dent. Fourth- Balloting. Fifth- Prosentation of candidate for vico- president, Sixth —Balloting. The amendment was agreed to and the additional rule adopted. Roosevelt, of New York,enquired what had become of the proposition in regard to representation in future conventions. He knew that there wasa strong foeling that there should bo some change by which the number of delegates should be more nearly proportioned to the republi- oan votes in the respective atates. Parks,of California,chairman of the com- mittee on rules, said that that subjeot had been withheld until a minority report could be prepared. Thuraton, of Nebaaska, moved to amend theseventh rule which provides for nominations by a majority of the votes cast by requiring a majority of all the delerates. He said that no rules should be enforced by which less than a majority of duly elected delegates should attempt to forco a candidate upon tho party. Such action would be repudiated by the freemen of America. (Applause.) Sanders, of Montana, offered an amend- ment that no person shall be eligible as a member of the national conventionwho is not eligible a» a member of the elector- al college. Hoar, of Massachusetts, made an explanation as to the effect of the civil service law passed by congress a year ago and snid it was not tho purpose of that law to prohibit any federal officer from exercising all the rights of an Amer- ican citizen. The amendment offered by Sanders wasadopted. The amendment offered by Thurston, of Nebraska, was sdopted atter sowe verbal nfidil‘cations: 'his disposed (at 12:30) of the question of the rules, except as to the REPRESENTATION IN FUTURE OONVENTIONS that subject being withheld. The convention adjourned at 1:55 till 7 this evening. THE PLATFORM. A RINGING DOCUMENT, At the conclusion of the discussion on representation McKinley, of Ohio, from committee on resolutions then presented the report, as follows: CONGRATULATIONS. ‘The republicans of the United States in Na- tional Convention assemuled, renew their allegiance to the principles upon which they have triumphed in six successive presidential elections, and congratulate the American peo- ple on the attainment of so many resvlts in legislation and administration by which tte ty has, after saving the Union, render its_institutions just, equal icent, the safoguard of liberty and the embadiment of the best thought and highest purposes of eur citizens, The repub- lican p rty has gained its strength by quick and faithful response to the demands of the people for freedom and tho equality of all : for a united nation, assuring the rights of all citize for the elevation of labor, for honest currency, for purity in legislation, and for inteerity and accoun ty in all depart- ments of the government, and it accopts anew the duties of leading in the work of pro- gress and reform. THE DEATH 0F GARFIELD, We lament the death of President G arfield, whoke sound statesmanship, long congpicuon in congress, gave promise of a strong and su cessful administration, a promise fully realize during the shert poriod of his oftice ‘as prosi- dent of the United States, His distinguished olecting as to democratic party had failad completoly to ro- lieve the peoplo of the burden of nnnecessary taxation by & wise reduction of surplus, The republican party plodges itself to corroct the {nequalitios of the taritf, and to reduce the surplus, not by the vicious and indiserimin ato_process of horizontal reduction, but by such mothods as will relieve the ' taxipay or without injurine the laborer or the groat prodoctive interests of the country, We rocognize the importance of th sheop hus bandry in the Un tos, the serious de. sreasion which it is now experiencing and the danger threatening its futuro prosperity, and wo thera the demands of the rop. resentatives of this important agricultur torest for a readjustment of duty upon foreigy wool, in order that such inaustry shall have full and adequate protection. WARD MONEY We have always offered the best money ¢ tho civilized world, and we urge that efforts should ba made to unite all commercial nations in the establismont of an_ international stand ard which shall fix for all the re o valuo of gold and silver coinwga. i with fereign nations and betwoon tho states is one of the most important prerogatives of the gereral government, and _the ropublican party distinctly announces its purpose to support such logislation as will fully and effi- ciently carry out the constitutional power of congress over intorstato commerce. ‘Ih prin ciple of public regulation of railroad oor poration is o wise and salutary ene for the protection of all clasos of the people nad wo favor legislation that shall provent unjust discrimination and excessive charges for trans. portation aud that sh peoply and tho railroads equal protection of the law. BURFAU OF LATOR.

The republican party, having its birth in a hatred of slave labor and a desire that a1l men may be truly free and equal, is unalterably opposed to” placing our workingmen in ccui- petition with any form of servile labor,whether at home or abroad. In thisspirit we denounce the importation of contract lator, whether from Rurope, or Asin, as an offonse against the epirit of American institutions, and we pledge oursslves to sustain the presont law stricting Uhiness immigration, and to provi such further legislation as is nocessary to carry out its purposes. a FORRIGN TOLICY. snccess in war and peace have endeared him to the hearts of the American people, ENDORSING ARTHUL, In the administration of President Arihur we recognize & wise, conservative and patrioti policy, under which the country has blessod with remarkable prosperity and we be- lieve his eminent services are entitled to and will receive the hearty approval of every citi- zon, THE TARIFF, Tt is the first duty of a good government to protect the rights and promote the interests of its own psoplo. The largest diversity of in- dustry is most productive of general prosperi- ty, aud of the comfort and indecendence o the people, We, therefore, demand that the imposition of duties on foreign imports shall be made, not for revenue only, but that in rais- ing the requisite revenues for the government such duties shall be so levied as to afford se- curity to our diversified industries, and pro- tection to the rights and wages of the laborer, to tho end that active and intelligent labor as well as capital may have ite just award and the laboring man his full share in the national prosperity. Against the so-call- ed economic_system of the demoeratic party which would degrade our labor to the foreign standard, woenter our oarnest protest. The The republican {party favor a policy which shall keep us from entangling alliances with foreign nations, and which gives us the right to oxpect that foreign nations shall refrain from meddling in American affairs. Tho policy which soeks peaco can trade with all powers, but espocially with thoso of the west- ern hemisphere. THE NAVY, We demand the rostoration of our navy to its old timo strength and efficiency, that it may in any soa protect the right of American citizens and the iutercsts of American com- merce, and we call upon congress to removo the burdens under which American shipping has been depressed ko that it may sgain bo trus that we have & commerco which leaves no sea unexplored, and a navy which takes no laws from superior force, TERRITORIAL OFFICERS, Resolved, That appointments by tho presi- dent to offices in the territorios shonld be made from the bona fide citizons and residents of tho territories wherein they are to serve, CIVIL SERVICE. The reform of the ‘civil service auspiciously begun under republican administration should be completed by the further extension of tho reformed system already established by law, to all the grades of the service to which it iv applicable. The spirit and purpose of the reform should be observed in all executive ap- pointments, and all laws at_varirnce with the objects of the existing reformed legislation should berepealed, to the end that the dan- gers to free institutions which lurk in the power of official patronage may be wisely and effectively avoided, THE PUBLIO LANDS aro o heritage of the peopls of the United States, and should bo reserved as far as possi- ble for sma'l holdings by actual settlers. Weo aro opposed to the acq on of large tracts by corporations or individualy, especially where such holdings arein the hands of non-resi- dent aliens, and we will endeavor obtain such legislations as will tend to correct this evil. Vo demand of congress the speedy forfeiture of all land grants which have lapsed by reason of non-compliance with the acts of incorporation, in all cases where there has been no attempt in good faith to perform the conditions of such grants, SOLDIRRS The erateful thanks of the American people ace due to the Union soldiers and sailors of the late war and tho republican party stands pledged to suitable peusions for all who wero disabled and fo: the widows and orphans of those who died in the war, The republican party also pledges itself to the repeal of the limitation contained in the Areas act of 1879, g0 that all invalid soldiers shall share alike and their pausions begin with the date of disabilitics or_discharge, and not with the date of the application, SUPPRESSION OF POLYGAMY, Resolved, That it is the duty of congress to ennct puch laws as shall prowptly and effectual- ly suppress the system of polygamy within our territorios and divoree the political from the ecclesinstical power of the s led Mor- mon_church, and that the law so enacted should be rigidly enforced ty the civil authori- tiew if possible, aud by the military if nood be, AND SAILORS, DANVILLE AND COVIAH.

The chair—Yes, sir. Tharston—Now, Mr. Chairman, I un- derstood that the chairman ot this con- vention promised me an opportunity to have the right to move an amendment. Davis, of Illinois ~All that is necessary s to vote down t)io previous question. Thuraton, of Nebraska—Mr. Chairman, [do not apprehend that the time will over come when less than a majority of this convention will nominate a man; but, sir, I do believe that if avy rule should be adopted and enforced on this conven- tion, by which a minority of duly-elected representatives should attempt to enforce upon the representative party of this nation a candidate, that such action would be repu by the freemen of America [applause]; and I move you, sir, to strike out the word *‘cast” and insert in lieu thereof, ‘‘all the votes of the convention” [cries of “No!

John Y. Stone, of Iowa, said: Mr, President—In 1876 the republican par- ty of the United States struck down the re- publican party of two states of the south, Wo can never »gain attempt to encourage the like of that. Wo, the state of Towa, beliove —its [ n hore believes—that the Willian Mahones of the south should bo encouraged in this convention [cheers], and T want to say here now in conclusion, that it will cast 26 solid votes for our candidate, [Cheers,) FUTURE REPRESENTATION. SHALL IT BE ACCORDING TO VO After the disposal of the question of rules, Parks, of California, made a report asto the appointment of delegates for fu- ture conventions, It directs that each state shall be entitled to four delegates at large, with two additional delegates for each member of congress (if any); that each territory and the District of Colum- bia shall bo ontitled to two delegates and that each congressional district shall bo entitled to two dolegates, Bishop, of Massachnaetts, in behalf of the minority of ! « I, dupuai a rule that each state shall be entitled to four delegatos ut large and ono addition al delegate for el representativo at large (if any); that each territory and the District of Columbia shall be entitled to two delegates; that each congressimal district shall bo entitled to ono delegate and AN ADDITIONAL DELEGATE for every 10,000 majority of votes or fraction thereof, cast for the republican presidential olectoral ticket at the last preceeding presidential election, and that the republican national committes shall within a yoar after each presidential elec tion certify the representation to which h state is entitled. Carner, of Indisna, supported tho mi- nority report as enticely in keeping with the geniug of American institutions, Iv did not decrease the representation of a No! gl pud | district, but only added to roprosontation in accordance with ropublican majorities PLEADING FOR THE Bradley, of Kentucky, opposed the minority report as something that might como from the democratic party but not for the republican party. There had been times when the south had saved the republican party, Tt was Florida that gavo them the president in 1876, Mo warned the ropublican party that the tar il question was coming up before tho country and the time might come when the northern atates might want the aid of the south, Tho southern delegates came hore a8 froomen, not as slaves; then did not ask to dictato nominations, but they de clined to surrender thotr manhood. The gallows whioch was now proposed might hang somo of those who proposed it. Weat Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and the Old Dominion, in apito of demo. cratic shot guas, and in spite of the legal ized murdor which CRIED TO GOD FOR VENGEANCH would give tho eloctoral votes at [Avplause.] Lynch, of Mississippi, also opposed the minority report, It would bo simply saying to the ballot box stuffor at the south, and to the shotgun holder that they skould have the benefit of their orimes. [Applause. ] A dolegate from lowa declared that tho Mahones of the south should be encour- aged and that Towa would cast 26 solid votes to do so. [Choors.] Townsond, of Now York, also opposed the proposition as an attempt o dis- franchise the republican party thoir the coming election, BRAVE REPUBLICANS OF THE SOUTI, West, of Ohio, also argued against the minority report. Long, of Massachusotts, said it was perfectly ovident that tho convention is not preparod to adopt tho viows of tho minority report, but they were going to clect tho next president and that fact would go far toward settling equal rights at tho sonth, At the ond of the next presidential term the matter might be taken up and decided. He therefore hoped the matter would be referred to the noxt exccutive committee, [Shouts of dissent. ] Filley, of Missouri, opposed the mi nority report. He spoke of the 66,000 republicans of Missouri who united their votes with tho groenbackers and asked whother they wero to bo abandoned or whother they should not be encouraged as Mahone had been encouraged, who had saved Virginia to the republican party. [Applause.] O'Hara, of North Carolina, declared that the adoption of the minority report would bo a total surrender of the politi- cal rights of overy ropublican in the south, white, as well as black, Clayton, of Arkansas, also opposed the minority report.
