< ary chairrcan , Connolly , of the ropnb
lican state convention closed Tiia remarks
"with references to the loading presiden
tial candidates. Ho first mentioned the
name oC Logan , which was > rccoivod with
vociferous cheering , but&i the mention
of iBlaino's name a 'yell wont
up which fairly shook the rafters , and
continued for a considerable period , dying
down and then breaking out afroah so
that the speaker was compelled to await
the pleasure of the convention. The
significance of this ipcrlinacious ap
plause n the convention in Logan's
' own state , in a convention a largo
rpart of whoso delegates wore
' instructed for him , waa very generally
commented on during the recess and was
considered as n very good point as to the
direction in which Illinois will turn if it
becomes evident that Logan cannot bo
nominated.

Special Dispatch to Tlic UKK.
PEOUIA , April 10. The colored dele
gation at one time threatened to make
trouble by insisting on one delegate at
largo to the national convention out of
the four appointed , this , too , after the
report of the committee on the subject
had boon received -and declared adopted ,
and threatened in < a covert way , that un-
lose this was accorded , the party could
not rely on the * olid negro voto. The
matter was loft open. At the evening
recess , and vrhan the convention reas
sembled , a motion to adopt the commit
tee's report went through before the
colored delegation awoke to the
situation. The demand was renewed
with oven mnrro vigor , and on a motion
to reconsider they had an opportunity'to
express themselves fully and calm-down
somewhat. Whou the oratory ended a
motion to reconsider was quietly laid on
the table. 'In ' the last minutes of the
convention , however , ono of the dele
gates moved to increase the number of
tnombers of the state central committee
rfrp. adding "Mngce , a colored m n from
Afassac county , and this , together vith
the soothing words of Smith , of MoXoan
county , appeared to make everything
satisfactory again.
PENNSYLVANIA.
THE KEl'UBLIOAN CONVENKON.
Pa. , April 1 < J. When
the republican convention roll was called
to-day it showed the only contest was in
the fourth ( Allegheny ) district , which
was still unsettled although rival factions
had been endeavoring all night to come
to an agreement. Ex-Senator Waddell
was elected temporary chairman. Ho
said the news from Washington this
morning behooved the republicans to
stand shoulder to shoulder in tlio contest
for the interest of Pennsylvania. It was
the duty of the convention to select
delegates to Chicago who will voice
the oentimont of the state , and carry out
the undoubted wishes of the people.
The committee on contested coats , with
John Stewart as chairman ; also the com
mittee on permanent orgaiihition and
resolutions were then appointed.
FOH BLA1NE.
A motion was made by a delegate that
the committee on resolutions bn in
structed to bring in a resolution naming
James G. Blnino for president and Rob
ert T. Lincoln for vice president.
An amendment was moved and ac
cepted , to make the resolution include
instructions to the delegates - at large to
rote for Blaino. The uiotiomand amend
ment wore carried by a vote of 200 to 37.
Nearly all of the negative votes came
from the Philadelphia delegation. The
various committees were then notified to
moot , and a recess of an hour was taken.
GROW FOE
On reassembling the committee on
.parmanent organization reported unani
mously in favor of Galusha A. Grow for
permanent chairman. The report was
adopted. Air. Grow having1 taken the
chair , ho reviewed the achievements of
the republican party during the past
quarter of a century-down to the prosout
isouo of the tariir. Ee waa for a pro
tective tariff which would socizro to the
laborer of this country a comfortable liv
ing for himself and family. 'Chujpness
of. commodities is not to bo desired at
the expense of the wages of the Hbonng
men. Free trade , he thought , was
merely a logical theory , baaedoipon in'
taken facts. f
