BOUND TO STICK.
At arant dtlegites caucus they
decided to ttuk if the balloting laat-
fed a week. _
THE EXCITEMENT
during the evenirg and this morning
this been at its height , OK ing to the
rumor that the committee on creden
tials would report in favor of the con-
teeting delegation ! in all instancoi ex
cept the ten'h lllinci- . The Grant
inanrgers arj iiitich less hopeful , and
it ia believed-wi 1 throw their strength
after the first four ballots in favor of
Edmunds. The ciush at tha conven
tion this morniog was if anything
greater than yesterday.
THE DAY IS COOL ,
S plearaat and in evt ryway calculated to
facilitate , the great work which every
one acknowledges is to be completed
COL. "BOB" INOEESOLL
has received the proxy of a Knox
county delegate , and be will appear
on the floor of the convention to-day
as the delegate from the ninth con
gressional district of Illinois.
Prince Leopold , of England , and
party , are among the distinguished
guests.
CALLED TO ORDER.
It was 10:45 : when the convention
came to order. Immediately after
prayer Conkling offered a resolution
that every member cf the convention
should support the nominee , whoever
he may bo , and that no one should
hold a eeat urhsj he would agree to
this.
this.Hale
Hale jumped on a chair and said
that convention needed no instruc
tions ; that the duly of the convention
was to elect the nominee over the
democratic convention. If the dis
tinguished gentleman from New York
succeeded in the nomination of his
candidate , Hale pledged that the
JIaino delegation would support the
nominee , and all he asked was that if
ithey should nominate their candidate
that the gentleman would give him
equal support.
The resolution was then almost
unanimously carried , there boiug only
A few dltstntin' ' ? vote ; . Gonkling
and Logan asked for'a call of states ,
that ho might see who in the roubli-
na convention voted no on such a
question. The call was ordered.
| Every s'ato voted in the affirmative
till Wett Virginia was reached , in
which there were three negative votes ,
which were r caved with hisses.
Conkling offered a resolut'on that the
delegates who voted nay ou the reso-
luion do not deserve to have a
voice , and hat e forfeited their right to
vote in this convention. [ Applause
and hisses. ]
A delegate fiorn West Virginia took
the Hoar and said that for twenty
yean he had suffered in hia state on
account of his republican principles ,
and if after that , in the
city of Clago he waa ' not
allowed to caress his convictions ,
he was ready "rb withdraw from the
convention. He said ho thought
\&i' \ 81 ! there was a principle involved , and he
" * would not bind himself to support the
%
1
: nominee , whoever he miqht be , and
would not be controlled by anyone.
r { 'f The flpcech provoked great applause.
Another member of the same delega
tion wno voted aye thought his broth
er delegate should be allowed to
expreis bis preferences.
McCormick , fof West Virginia ,
" " " made a speech in which ho oaid he
WIB one of thoss who had voted no.
He had been as consist int a republi
can as the gentleman from New York.
' He said he made one hundred speeches
for the last republican candidate ,
while the gentlemen from New York
made one.
1 Garfield msde a calm , dignified
11 - * peech , which wai loudly applauded ,
K > * : and in which he said the gentleman
* * v from West Virginia had not said they
k- , would not Bupport the nominee , but
v. „ merely thought it w rt time to voteS
S- -
on the question. He hoped ( he reso
lution would be withdrawn.
After some debute Conkliog with
drew the resolution amidst a storm of
hiuea , and the commitlecou creden
tials were ordered to report.
The report waa emphatically in fa
vor of district representation , instead
cf by the state as a whole. Tne Illi
nois contestants , elected by districts ,
were reported favorably.
The committee also recommended
the non--v3m:8sicn of contestant's in
the Ninth and Nineteenth d'stricta of
Pennsylvania , and the retention of
their.seals by the Utah delegation.
A aiiuority report wcs preieiited
which protested against the decision

TOO LATE.
Special Dispatch to The Bee
CHICAGO , June 4 4 p. m. The
Journal's Washington special says : A
strong personal friend of General
Grant , probably one of the most inti
mate friends he has in the world , says
that in his judgment Grant ii
released from all obligations the sena
torial syndicate , and ought to with-
3raw. Thia gentleman says Grant has
jean misled by these people , who have
old him that he was necessary to
save the country , that he would be do
mandedby the convention with unan
mity , and that it was his patriotic
luty to accept the nomination , but ,
n view of recent events ,
.his gentleman says that due regard to
iis reputation ought to induce Grant
o decline further contest , whatever
effect it may have upon thosa who
lave sought to force hisnomination. .
TOO GOOD TO BE TBUE.
A telegram has been received at the
white houao stating that if the Oral
lallot shall show the defeat of Grant ,
) on. Cameron will cast the vote of
Pennsylvania for Blaino.

KEPOET OF THE INFALLIBLE FEW.
CHICAGO , June 4,10 p. m. Powell
) layton , of Arkansas , presented the
minority report from the commute on
credentials , which was in substance as
ollows :
"Wh'le concuirlng largely with the
majority , we disagree with it tn its ap-
ilication of the principle of district
epresentation as changing the time-
lunored practices in many etites.
Were such rules laid downby aulhori-
y , they would doubtless bo accepted ,
> ut in this case the law is ex-post
acto end a violation of usage. It will
ubject the convention to the tstiRHJa
f berMing rules with the Inteuiion of
affecting the nominations of president
nd vice president. We claim a va
cancy in Hapier'a seat from Alabama ,
nd that the other sitting delegates
are entitled to contested seats. If the
rule of district representation ia to be-
the criterion of authority , then more
than half the members of this conven
tion are not entitled to seats , and this
body would be left without aquoium.
Most of the sUto conventions have
selected I heir delegates on the simple
recommendation of district delegates.
[ Applause. ] To adopt the'proposed
rule would be to stultify the conven
tion. " [ Applause and laughter. ]
The report differed from the ma
jority regarding the Illinois cases
alleging that the charges of fraud and
conspiracy were not proven. In Cook
county , of seven senatorial districts
Grant's friends carried three without
question , and had a majority in an
other. This entitled them to forty-
six delegates at Springfield , but a con
spiracy was formed to send a solid
anti-Grant delegation to the conven
tion , which was published in the Chicago
cage papers next day , and a full his
tory given of the conference which
led to it.
The repoit reviews at length the
charges of conspiracy and fraud on
the part of the presiding officers un-
proven. The Palmer house conven
tion was regular. The majority of
the republicans of Illinois in state
convention instructed their delegates
to vote for Grant for president. Is it
to bo contended th.it they did not
have that right ? Illinois has always
instructed her delegates , and the dele
gates have uniformly followed instruc
tions. The only exception was in
187G , when in a Blaine [ applause ]
convention , which chose Blaine dele
gates , the'instructionr , were omitted
by an oversight. Some of the delegates -
gates took advantage of that fact ,
violated the wish of the convention ,
and their vote defeated Bbine.
This report wca signed by fourteen
minority members.
At the conclusion of the reading
Conger submitted a corrected roll , and
moved that the Louisiana case bo
finally taken up.
Cessna , of Pennsylvania , asked that
the whole report be divided into five
sections the first to cover Louisiana
and states where there were no differ
ences in convention , the second Ala
bama , the third Illinois , the fourth
West Virginia and the fifth Utah.
Conger said the majority desired to
follow the order of the report , which
nas in eleven sections , but ho was
willing to accept the suggestion
and allow the Illinois delegates at
large , Louisiana , Kansas and Pennsyl
vania's to be decided by one vote.
In putting the quest ton the chair
used the phrase , "All delegates whose
seats ara uncontcited. "
Conkling wanted to know what the
committee had to do with uhcontest-
ed seats.
He was informed that the commit
tee on credentials had to report on
credentials as well as contested scats.
Conkling asked what was the branch
of the report about which there was
no difference.
Conger said U was the Louisiana
case , the second district of Illinois ,
the delegates at large from Illinois ,
the second and third districts of Kan
sas , and the fifth , sixth , ninth and
nineteenth districts of Pennsylvania.
JACK LOG AX S RASUJfG.
Logan said he was for the first time
informed that there was a contest
against the four delegates at huge
from.Illinois , and desired to know
who the contestants were.
Conger replied that there had been
t memorial presented from the con *
venUop in the ( ormer oonte * and. on
which the committee had felt ncceseary
to act.
Logan made a lone speech in de
fence of the r'ghts of Illinois , -\\hich
had furnished a Lincoln and a soldio
who had ledxmr rruiies against troa
son.
son.Gen. . Sharpe movvd to amend io
hive so much of the report avrefemx
to the Illinois delegation stricken out
Conger defended tlo committee
and an animated discussion arose be
twcen Conger , Logan and Haywood
of California , L-jfaii defending hii
record aud denying ( lie charges o
fraud against hia management t f the
Springfield convention , aud claiming
that it was : an insult offered to Illinois
in questioning the title of her dele
gatts at lame.
The amendment by Sliatpo was
adopted , and the in.'iinqueslinn put on
ihat portiou of the repoit which came
unanimously from the committee.
Adopted unanimously.
The case of Alabama was then
tdkcn up. Claj tn , of Arkansas
moved to substitute the minority Jor
the majority repoit on Alabama.
Senator Bruso moved to adjourn
until 7 o'clcek , and it was carried.

CHICAGO , June 5 , 1 a. m. Chair
man Hoar called the convention to or
der at 7:28 : o'clock.
On motion of Mr. Conger , the com
mittee on credential's report regard-
ng Louisiana was adopted.
On motion of Gen. Ben. Harrison ,
of Indiana , the time for the discussion
of the Alabama case was limited to 20
minutes for each aide.
Conger , ai chairman of the commit-
oo , defended the majority report ,
le aiid th t Rapier was denied ere-
entiala because toe declined to accent
nstructioDs to vote for Grant
Geo. Turner , chairman of the Jkla-
> ama delegation , defended the title of
ho sitting delegates. He said that
very delegate wai chosen by the late
onvention regularly , and claimed
hat the nomination of the contestants
vas of no avail unless ratified by the
ommittee.
Gen. Tracy spoke briefly in favor of
bo minority report.
Warner M. Bateman , of Ohio , said
haLtha nurtjltnu tnjpbrpd was tmnlir.
pat of the right of district represanta-
ion. That of Iltpier involves no
uestion of fact.
Farr , of Michigan , laid that the
eople of his state believed in district
cpreaentation , BO much so that with
onvention strongly anti-Grant they
lad a Grant man in their delegation ,
nd they fully acknowledged his right
o his opinion and vote.
Parsons , of Alabama , said that he
was a Grant man , eo elected and
bould S3 vote , but he did not believe
n the high-banded way in which men
lected had been ousted. The tw < ;
men occupying seats at his side had
cknowledged their defeitj
Pending the vote ex-Secretary Bout-
well offered a resolution that all the
outtsted cases bo decided in accord-
nco with state precedent , accepting
he district system where choice had
> oen so previously made , and by states
whore choice bad previously been so
mile. The main question of the sub-
tituta of the minority for the majority
eport on Alabama was then put and

There had baen some doubt as to
he New York and Pennsylvania vote ,
> ut the long-talked-of combination
icld , and New York cast 47 ayea and
23 nays , and Pennsylvania 35 ayea
and 23 nays. [ Applause in the galler-
es.
es.The report of the committee , BO far
as Alabama waa concerned , was adopt
ed without division.
Quartos , of Witconsin , offered a
c'olution limiting debate on the Illi
nois case to an hour , to be divided
equally between the two sides.
Boutwell then offered a substitute
hat all contested cases be decided by
bo usage in each state which has ex-
sted , and that in each state in which
lie uniform usage had been to elect
delegates to the republican national
convention by state conventions , that
hat usage ( hall be deemed binding ,
and that the same shall be true in re-
pect to delegates sent by district con
ventions in spates where that has been
ho usage.
Conger objected on the ground that
.he . resolution was not germane to the
question.
Boutwell waa heard'on his point of
order by courtesy , but his resolution
wai declared out of order.
BOUTWELL'S GERTIE KICK.
Boutwell said that it waa difficult to
defer to the decision of the chair and
he convention , but he would accept it.
le bad been too long in public life
lot to submit as gracefully as possible ,
le should use his own judgment la
ni action before the convention. A
lalf hour , more or lats , was of little
mportance so long as justice be done ,
le had watched the work of the con
tention and the work outside careful-
y , and the issue before it was not the
real but a false one. The decisions of
he committee in different cases had
> sen contradictory. In Louisiana a
lelegation from the state convention
tad been accepted without an alluiion
othe district system that has been
declared the law of the convention ,
fhich defies reason and tramples logic
aw and justice under foot. What have
hev to say to Illinois , West Virginia ,
vansas and other states where the
district system does not exist. The
majority report was aitute , and might
lave come from the distinguished cit-
zen of Illinois ( Ingersoll ) , who begins
iis lectures by turning religion inside
out. The state of Dlinoia certainly
las interests at stake , and they cer-
ainly can't baconaidered in an hour ,
t Is entitled to the delegate selected

tled ' to none at all. [ ApplautiB. ' ] You

considered the same rights you have
given Louisiana.
Conger said the case of Louisiana
did not involro the question of dis
trict representation. He desired that
If more time was demanded for the
dscusaion.of ! the Illinois case that it
shonld.be given. The majority report
could not be weakened by discussion.
MOKE BLUSTER AND BRAG.
Logan said he could see the object
of the proposition that outside coun
sel be employed , but didn't care for
that. It made no difference who
was employed so fir as the right of
the delegate j rightfully chosen is con
cerned. Ohio aud Massachusetts
choose their delegates by districts ; wo
don't. We dou't Interfere with their
methods and dun'c you interfere with
lours.- [ Applause ] All our conven
tions sines I860 h.ivo been held in the
same way. The vote in the conten
tion was by counties , as it should be
in every state convention. I appeal
to you that you gho such time as
will enable us to give such a .history
of our state conventions as will show
our case. All this clnmoraboutlllinoia
is wrong. Let mo say to you , Blaine
men , and to you , E-Jmunds men , il
you can beat the old so'dier ' go in anc
win. [ Prolonged applause and cheer * . "
I claim nothing not duo to every citi
zen of this grand republic ; nothing
for General Grant that we do not con
cede to your candidates , and to every
one of you. Wo don't tell you we'll
bolt your nomination , and uo won't.
If you can beat us , do i' ; we'll stay
here uutil you do. [ Applause. ] But
TOST eld soldier has carried you to
many a victory , and he can't b3 beaten
hy tricks. [ Cheer * . ] Don't steal his
vttos.
LOGAN INSULTS CALIFORNIA.
I have been told that the California
delegates accepted their credentials ou
conditions. Is that so I
Frank N. Hilloy , of California , re
plied : Wo have been so insulted that
we hardly dare reply. We accepted
onr places untrammelled , and were in
structed to vote first , last and all the
time for the Senator from Maine ,
James G. Blaine.
[ At the mention of Blaine's iiamc
the whole audieace waved their hats ,
shouted and cheered. Cheer after
: heer followed for five minute * , and
ifhen Gen. Logan resumed there were
lisses from the galleries , and the chair
lirected the sergeant-at-arms to cause
ihe arrest of anyone expressing dis
approbation. ] v V
The proposition < was , while certain
itates churning to bp represented
> y delegates from districts. They
hemselvcs should accord to each
ithcr. each and every other state , the
ame rights Your president is chosen
> y electors and they are not chosen by
listricts. Why , th-n , should you
; ako up this district idea without no-
ice to the states ? If the rational
: ommittce will adopt the rule no will
bllow it. I never make threats God
brbid ; but a candidate in hia own
itate should not want to c.ntrol cnn-
liatcs in other states by his methods.
. ' appeal to. the convention to under-
tand the position of the Illinois deli i
he chairman of the committee should
ihange the resolution so as to give a
ree anolair discussion of the matter.
Conger said he had made no motion
Wimit debate.
Logan That , sir'is , all we desire.
The Chair The pending resolution
s offered by the gentleman from Wis-
: onsin.
Quarlca , of Wisconsin , asked how
nuch time was wantul.
Logan Wo will accept any suitable

Harrison I suggest an hour on

eady.
STRINGING OUT DEBATE.
Butterworth ( of Ohio ) The rcsolu-
, lon authorizes either side to appear
jysome ono outside the convention ,
[ f wo hear the men hero wo shall hear
luite enough , and I move to strike out
; bat clause us conflicting with a rule
) f the convention. Butterwotth then
jffered a resolutionwhich was passed ,
giving two hours to the debate.
There was a good deal of confusion ,
md scores of delegates , who evident-
y cared nothing for the debate , loft.
Che hour was getting late , and a two
ioura" contest , which would probably
be drawn out still longer , caused hun-
Irods of the audience , alternates aud
jucsts to leave.
The chairman was obliged to rap
levoral minutes for order , and then
itated that the question was on the
tdtption of BO much of the report of
the majority of the committee on cre-
lentialaas referred to the Illinois del
egation.
Logan aaked whether it was pro
posed to dccicle 4fcc question or to
idopt it as a whole.
Conger said it was claimed that it
iras always n. rule of the republican
party in Illinois that delegates be se
lected by districts. No reason is ap
parent for this innovat'on.
HERESY OF STATE hOEREIONTY. .
We stood against the doctrines of
state sovereignty in the late war , and
called the great soldier of the nation
to lead our army to victory ia that
struggle. Does it become a republi-
[ an convention to declare the right of
a state to take away district represen
tation and thus tike a farther step in
the heresy that has cost us to much.
We can't endure that Illinois or any
of the great states should attempt to
revive this theory of representation.
Ihe people are the only sovereigns in
the land and they shall detarmme un
til the end of the republic what shall
be their laws and who the executor of
their will shall be. [ Applause ] The
report of the majority is correct in
principTe and in practice and should
be sustained.
A RAUM SPEECH.
Green B. Ilaum appeared for the
titting delegates. He said , as we rep
resent the law and custom in the sa-
lection of delegates In this state , we
are willing to rest our case on the law
ind long years "of peace in our orrn
state. There is not , and never has
been , a uniform rule among the states
In the selection of delegates to the
convention. When there is Illinois
will cheerfully acquiesce. The state
convention haa always selected the
delegate ? , instructed the delegates
ind sent them to the convention of
the republican parly , In 18GO it was
Resolved , That , Abraham Lincoln
is the candidate of this state , and the
delegates from this state are instructed
to use all honorable means to secure
his nomination by the convention. Deus
us justice and Illinois will leave these
eighteen men in their seats.
SOME ONE LIES.
Elliott Anthony , a contesting dele-
g te , atked that the precedent of the
state be upheld. He believed that
th $ prejedgnt waa ai regi eiented , and
asserted that the uniform rule had
been to select del gucs by congres
sional districts. Ho quoted from the
proceedings of stito c unontiona in
support of hia argument. What did
the gcntlcnnn mean when ho per
verted history in his statement * i
Ex Collector Tom Murphy , of New
York , asked the speaker if he had not
ta'd to him tint hj would under no
circutnatancea rote for Gta t.
"No ; I never thought or said ao , "
was the r ply , which WMS received with
applause and cheers
Emory A. Storrs , of Illinois , took
the plitform , and said : A proposition
was made to abolish in this stito the
etite convention , but it nouKl not
\vork. Ho h'-ped that Maine and
Ohiujpuuld not ati.-mpt to enforce > u
111.noil their methods. Ho denied
Anthony's statement that the tju dis
tricts ho urgurd fi < r constituted the re
publican majority of tha EtaU , and
asserted fiat the history of .Illinois
conventions aiul precedent was f l
lowed by thatuhich seat the sitting
delegates. Standing by the precedents
( to Illinois , v > o decline to bo terrorize ! .
I abjura you to stay your hand. He
said ho was not in favor of the liberal
republican rvEiirroction. Said the
sptalvcr , nominate Jme3 G. Blaine , if
you cm [ cheers ] , ami when the gentle
men hero cheering in the gal
leries to-ni ht are reposing
under the blue summer skies ,
tired of politics and disgusted
with it , you v il find the followers
of the gallant coldicr awake by their
camp iires , carrying the banner of the
soldier triumpnantly to victory.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
Ten thousand people stood up and
swung their hats and cheered. It
was a scene unequalled. Conkling
and his group of JNow Yorkers stood
upon chairs and waved their haudkor-
chiefs , and Conkling himself waved
the Now York burner. Storrj stroked
his beard as one amarcd. Umbrell > s ,
paraso's and banners \\cro waved high
in the air on the ends of the s'oiifi
on which the state banners had been
put. Cuikling answered theg llcnt-a
and they cheered again. The chair
abandoned hammering his desk for
order in disgust , and the bjwildored
policemen were lost in the
cro.Tcl. The New York delvgitiou
started the songs , "In the ye r of
Jubilee" and "Marching through
Georgia" which was taken up by the
crowd.
When Stern made his third effort to
rjnew hia spcesh the crowd broke out
ag inand thenciso ws deafvnirg an-1
could ba heard a in le away.
WILDER THAN EVER.
The second ou'burst wm greater
than the first , menseemedto be drunk
with excitement and sprang on bench
es , rushing into each other's arms ,
shaking hands aud embracing and
laughing , crying and shouting. Two
hundred men took o'f ' their coa's and
swung them in the air. The infecton
extended to ovury doubtful dolrg-ition
on the floor , and Illinois , Ohio and all
others joined in the jubilee.
Among incidents wca tint of Col.
Robt. G. Ingersoll who stood on a
chair for twenty minutes and waved a
ing mm rci oanaana ii.inaKcn.mo. ,
and Maine at last fell into line and up
went all her delegates to the top of
the bcacliea shouting at the tup of their
voces : , \\a\ing their hats , coats end
umbrellas.
A COI > L KV > OF LIBERTY.
Mrs. Col. ( Bob. ) Ingertoll sprang
on a char on the stage near the
Goddess of Liberty , driped herself in
ouc Amerlcin flg and waved another
about her head.
The only quiet man in the house
was the cha'rman. The bands en
deavored to start up , but were
not heard ten feet away.
At ono time thirty of the state ban
ners were waved together in the cen
ter of the hall twenty feet above the
heads of the people , berne upon the
standards which divide the delega
tions. Everyone seemed crazed with
the enthusiasm and excitement of the
moment.
A CHELBUiQ 3IATCU.
Maine , California , Virginia and
other states marched about the Hall
over benches and crowding through
the asiles waving thcr banners. It
was a contest between the gallarica
and the delegates , between the dele
gates and the stage to see which could
cheer the loudest and make the most
extravagant exhibition. Maine's
banner waa the } nst to come down.
The tumult was finally partiallyatilhd ,
when Green B Ilaum sprang on the
back of a bench and called for three
cheers fur the nominee of the conven
tion. They were given with a will.
The outbreak lasted 33 minutes.
SHERMAN FOR SECOND CHOICE.
Mr. Storis was allowed four min
utes taken from him by the crowd.
He began witb : ' Give the grand old
state which never knew the draft nor
filled her regiments with paper sol
diers , the homo of Lincoln , Douglas
and Grant , give her fair play , and if
you caunot nominate her son , nomi-
nitj John Sherman. [ Applause. ]
Give us fair treatment in Illinois. "
Conger aaked that Col. lngers.o'1 ,
who was a proxy ba heard.
Objection was made by a California
delegate who asked that they proceed
to business.
Butterworth moved that they ad
journ till 10 o'clock in the morning.
The motion was defeated by a viva
voce vote. The roll cill was demand
ed and adjournment was defeated by
103 ayes and 053 nays.
ILLINOIS CASE SETTLED.
The question recurred on tiie adop
tion of the majority report regarding
Illinois.
Cessna aaked a division of the
question so that the first diitrict be
treated first.
It was moved that the minority re
port on the first district be substituted.
The roll call resulted in 388 ayes and
351 nays.
At this point the Illinois delegates
withdrew their demand for a further
division and tbc question waa put on
the adoption of the remainder of the
report on Illinois. It was adopted
without'diviaion.
At 2:25 : the convention the conven
tion adjourned till 11 o'clock to-day.
We offer a nrsc-ciass white laun-
