YESTERDAY'S FEATUKES. POWELL'S rEiiriDY UAUKISON'H CANUI- DAOY. Special Dispatch to TUG BEE. CHICAGO , Juno 2. To-day has boon a day of hard work. The Blaine boasts that orory southern state had boon bro ken by the Blaine Gonorala were found to have no foundation in fact. The de fection of Powell Olayton , of Arkansas , was the chief topic of convoraation , but it sank into insignificance beside the state- inont that Harrison had announced him self as a candidate and was working in his own interest. Both of those statements were given out as rumors yes terday. To-day opportunities wore afforded for proving or disproving their truth. In the case of Clayton , the Blaine mon boldly claim they have succeeded in win ning him over from Arthur. The Arthur mon on the other hand deny it , and say that ho is as firm for the president as ever. Thcro is nothing , of course , by which either side can substantiate its claim to its position. Gon. Clayton may have boon converted , or ho may not , but there is ono thing which is very generally believed , and that is that ho docs not by any moans carry Arkansas in his pocket , and ho will find it a difficult taak to do- liver. AS TO HAKUISON and his candidacy , there is only ono opinion about that : Ho has boon hero mixing with the delegates since Friday. Ho said , in explanation of his presence , that it v as an evidence that ho was not a candidate. A great many people believed this until yesterday , when it was formally announced that ho was a candidate , and proposed to go into the convention with that understanding. CONTESTED SEATS. DECISIONS Or TIIK COMMITTEE. CHICAGO , Juno 2. The national com mittee resumed its session at 12:15 : this afternoon. Joseph E. Leo appeared as a proxy for William W. Hicks , of Florida. The sub-committoo , through Horace Davis chairman , to which was referred the case of the contesting delegation from the lirat Georgia district , reported de claring the committee considered only the proceeding in the district convention as bearing on the prima facie case of the two parties , and did not go into the merits of the split prior to that conven tion. They Cnd the proceedings of that convention irregular and turbulent in character , with very conflicting evidence as to its merits , hut the committee deemed for the whole the prima facia case was with Alexander N. Wilson and Liuria Blue and their alternates. Mr. 'r Dovreaux moved as an amendment that ' Iho matter bo referred to the committee on crodeii'ula , nnd that no names bo placed upon1 'the rolls. Lost. Mr. Dov- roaux then moved as a substitute that the names of Johnson and Green bo placed upon the rolls. Defeated. The report of the committco was then adopted. Senator Jones reported verbally in the matter of the first Alabama district in favor of Messrs. Slaughter and Trent. The report was adopted without dobao. Senator Platte reported in the matter of the contest in the 22d Pennsylvania district , putting upon the rolls Magee and Flynn. Adopted without debate. With respect to the contest in the 21sl Pennsylvania district , the committee recommended ommendod that neither Sayros nor Went ling bo placed on the rolls. This woulc leave Mr. West as the only delegate fron the district , whoso seat is not contested The committee reported that noithe : Sayros nor Wontling had been regularly elected. Senator .Jonos asked if the committee mittoo intended to disfranchise the dis trict. Mr. Magee thought as the preai dential preferences of the two contca tants were the same both should bo admitted mittod and bo given half a vote each Vote was takem upon the report of th committco and it was adopted. Mr. Ilunnolls , of Iowa , in the matte of the Sixth Now Yoik district , rf > portoi in favor of John J. O'Brien and Matthew J. Brady. The report was adopted with out debate. In the matter of the nineteenth NOT York , the enmo committee reported ii fnvor of George Catnphull end Hiriti Oreggs , whoso names will bo placed upoi the rolls. Adopted without debate. In the matter of the fifth Kentucky the committee reported in favor of admit ting Silas F. Milh and John Masai IJrown. .Adopted without debate. The same action was taken in laver o Edward Folcy and S. 0. Bragg. In ( he leader of the L'd Illinois , Sena tor Aldrieh submitted a majority in favor of admitting Powell and W. E. Kent. Mr. Kent , of Maine , submitted n majority report in favor of W. 11 , McCook , of Illinois , moved as n sub- tituto that the name of linger and Pip- r bo inserted instead of the names ro- lortod by the majority of the committee. Mr. Boattio supplemented , his recom- nondation with a long written report , iving his version of the contest. The ontest grow out of the ro-npporlionniont f congressional districts by which certain leinbora of the district committee became csidonts of another district , but joined n a call for the primary which resulted i the election of the persons recommend , d in the majority report. The contest- uts were chosen by the convention willed y the district committee , which claimed o have boon regularly elected by a popti- ar voto. The substitute was adopted by a vote f 22 to 20. A vote was then ordered upon ho report of the committee as amondnd. 'he substitute being regarded as n form f amendment it was adopted by a vote f 23 to 19.

BOOMING MORE FIHE-WOUKS. CHICAGO , Juno 2. A circular bearing ho title : "Now York for Blaino. The Voice of the Empire State calling James . Blaine to Land to Victory 1" will bo ; ivon out to-morrow. It will read as ollows : To the National Republican Convention : 'ho Republican districts of the Htato of Now York , under the rule of direct popular rcpro- entatlon. have declared emphatically and tin. nlstakably for .Tamos R. lUnino , and this is heir mossaso to the National Republican Convention Blaiue can got more votes in the tate of New York than any other man , and an carry the state triumphantly ; and the tatistics prove beyond question that , from 'resident Arthur's own aUto , a decided major- ty of the delegates to thu convention are op- > oscd to his nomination : that the overwhelm- ng preponderance of delegates from districts jiving republican majorities is for Blaine ; that wolvo republican districts and four democratic iistricts are for Blaiao ; that live other dis- ricts send Edmunds or anti-Arthur delegates , vhilo but five republican districts send dele gates for Arthur , the largo majority of his upport coming from ton democratic Iistricts ; that in the Blaine districts hero is an aggregate of 03,774 republican ma- critics against 17,450 republican majorities in ; ho Arthur district" , with 51,050 democratic najoritiei in the Blaine districts and -15,010 democratic majorities in the Arthur districts. Those facts and figure are conclusive that in \Tew York , as in ether states , wlioro the eloc- .oral votes may be pivon to a republican can- Hidato for president , the direct republican ox- > rosson ! is in favor of Blaino's nomination ndeod. that ho is tbo accepted loader of the republican party to a sura victory. In full confidence- that with J. G.

Paul Strnbach , of Alabama , seconded .ho nomination. The member from Louisiana said he voiced the sentiment of the members of ho southern states in according all loner to Senator Hoar , and would doubtless like to see him chosen for the > ermanont chairmanship , but in the dis- : ribution of the honors to bo conferred jy the convention , ho thought , as a recog nition of southern republicanism , that in mmiim a man for a position not fraught with patronngo , it could gracefully be ivcn to a southern republican.

This fooling is not confined o delegates opposed to Blaine , but there ro n number of Blnino's adherents who xpress dissatisfaction at the choice of the lational committee. So iiitoueo , indeed , the feeling upon this subject that a ilan is on foot to attempt to defeat Clay- on in the convention to-morrow , and led Mr. Bruce , register of the United > tntos treasury , in his stead. The feel- njj in some qunrtorsis exceedingly bitter , , nd that n strong cflbrt will bo mndo to ompnss Clayton's dofo.it seems very ikoly. _ THK llAtil * . AS DKSCUllIKU 11Y A "llKF " URI'OHTKK.

It was argued that Ir.
