DAY. THE 1'OI.ICY OF TUB BLAINB UEN. CONVENTIOK HALT , , CHICAGO , Juno 5. It is reported that the Blalno managers have resolved to cmdoaror to break the policy of delay heretofore pursued by the Arthur and Edmunds irmuagora and push matters to a conclusion. While fighting stoutly in the committees they trill coir tent themselves with that and not invite resistance in open convention. This Booms to bo their best plan. They also hope to defeat the independents by in ducing Arthur men , who also nro opposed to a dark horse , to come together on some late ballot. Col. N. A. Reed , of the Centralia Sentinel , said to a reporter of the associated press this morning , that all this talk about Gen. Sherman not being - ing a candidate was nuMBtro. Col. L. M. Dayton , of Cincinnati , who was the general's personal and most confidential staff ofUcor in this city , has boon circulating extensively among the members of the Loyal Legion , of whom there are a great number in the city. Col. Dayton said : "Iknow that General Sherman had never penned any suoh dls patch as it was rumored ho had done , aying that ho would not servo as president dent of the United States oven though ho was nominated. The position is this : General Sherman has attained the highest' honors which can bo bestowed jjupon any man by the American people. Ho is a ware of this. Ou the contrary , John Sherman , while ho has had great honors bestowed upon him , has seen honors beyond and above this which ho has notenjoyod. | Aslong as John 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 bo pro sontcd , used , or whispered. Now is is certain that John Sherman does not stand the slightest chance of being more than mentioned in this convention. At this juncture , the friends of General Sherman are in no ways antagonizing the interests of his brother , John Sherman , when they say if the American people see fit to honor William Tecumseh Sherman as a candidate for the nomination ol president of the United States , ho will not decline the honor. "Now , mind , "continued Colonel Day ton , "General Sherman is not seeking the nomination but his friends huvo boon as sured that a largo number of delegates will support him in case it is known that ho would not decline. " CALICO TO OHUEK. CHICAGO , Juno 5. The convention was called to order at 10:04 : and was opened with prayer by Bishop Fallows , of the Unformed Episcopal church. Ho prayed that those who might bo elected by this convention for the loftiest posi tion to which mortal man can aapiro shall possess every qualification of body , mind , and heart for their high and holy trusts ; that personal preference and in tercets should yield to the just demands of a true and broad patriotism , and that a qualification of choice should bo made by the poopls in an unmistakable man nor. nor.Unnry Ballnrd , of Vermont , chairman of tlio committee on credentials , re ported that sessions of the committee had been almost continuous , leaving mem bers no time to rest. Ho took pleasure in saying that proceedingo had been entirely tiroly harmonious , and without reference to personal preferences. The result was a unanimous report , which announcement mont was received with npplauso. The report of the committee on credential.1) was then road by Mr. Fort , of Now Jersey. It was to the effect that the sitting moBibors in all the contested cases are entitled to their seats except in the caao of the Ninteonth district of Now York and the Fifth district of Kentucky - tucky , whore both delegates and con testants are admitted , to cast half vote each. In the Virginia case the com mittee found unanimously that the dele gation headed by Senator Mahono was entitled Id the seats , The report was adopted without discussion. mi : KCLES. Parks , of California , from the committee - too on rules reported that the committee bad adopted substantially the rules of the last conventionexcept that it recommend ed the adoption of Cushing's manual ns 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 bo in force , as in the houso. Grow , of Pennsylvania , from the mi nority of the committee , offereda substi tute for the 10th rule , which proscribed the mode of electing delegates to the next national republican con vention. IIo proposes that delegates shall bo elected in the tame manner as members of congress. Parks accepted the proposed amendment , Grow having explained that the delegates at largo are to bo elected by state conven tions and that the tnannor of electing delegates from the District of Columbia should bo proscribed by the national re publican committee. The rules wore then adopted. OUDEll OF BUSINESS. Parks offered an additional rule ns to the order of business. Bayno of Pennsylvania , moved an amendment to it so as to make the or der of business as follows : First Kcporl ot the committee on platform nnd resolutions. Second The call of the roll ot st-itos. Third Presentation of candidate for pros- ! dent. dent.Fourth Fourth Balloting. Fifth Presentation of candidate for vlco- president. Sixth-Balloting. The amendment was agreed to and the additional rule adopted. Roosevelt , of Now Yorkenquirod what had become of the proposition in regard to representation in future conventions. IIo know that there was a strong fooling that there should bo some change by which the number of delegates should bo more nearly proportioned to the republi can votes in the respective states. Parksof Californiachairmanofthocom- mittoo on rules , said that that subject had boon withhold until a minority report could bo prepared. Thurston , of Nebnaska , moved to amend the seventh rule which provides for nominations by a majority of the votes cost by requiring a majority of all the delegates. Ho said that no rules should bo enforced by which less than a majority of duly elected delegates should attempt to force n candidate upon the party. Such action would bo repudiated by the freemen of America. ( Applause. ) Sanders , of Montana , offered an amend ment that no person shall bo eligible as a member of the national convention who is not eligible an 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 said it was not the purpose of that law to prohibit any federal officer from exercising all the rights of an Amer ican citizen. The amendment offered by Sander : was adopted. The amendment offered by Thurston , of Nebraska , wan adopted after some verbal nfjdi'lcatious ! This disposed ( at 12:30) : ) of the question of the rules , except as to the nEI'JlESENTATION IN FUTURE CONVENTIONS that subject being withhold. The convention adjourned at 1:50 : till 7 this evening. THE A. HINGING DOCUMENT. At the conclusion of the discussion on representation McKinlcy , of Ohio , from committee on resolutions then presented the report , as follows : CONailATOLATIONH.
