SECOND DAY. HIIEUMAN AS A CANDIDATE. CUICAGO , Juno 4. At a late hour las night , after considerable earnest talk among the Blaine delegates fro in Missouri and Michigan , upon the advisability of bringing out General Sherman as a can didate as the only solution of presonl situation in the convention , it was urgcc that General Sherman would not permit the use of his name , or accept the nomi nation under any circumstances. In obedience to the wishes of a majority of these delegates , John B. Hondorsor sent nn earnest telegram to Gqn. Sherman man urging him to accept , and request ing-him to send them an answer thii morning. Mr. Horace White , of New York , stated this morning 'that in hii opinion Blaine was already beaten , and could never got as many votes in the convention as Powell Clayton did. The committee on credentials settled the contest in the firstJAlabama district by deciding ciding to seat the two delegates now ot the roll , Jos. E. Slaughter and Franl Thrcatt. , The vote on the propositiot to seat the above named delegates was 2 ! to 15.

The eastern delegate ! are determined to adhere to Edmunds and as they are divided in opinion it ii likely their strength will bo divided between twoen Sherman , Gresham and Hawley for .some time. BELLOWING FOB BLAINE. These managers rozard the dead poin of danger for them is a drift from Blaini to Arthur. If this can .bo prevented they hope for a favorable result. Thi Tribune this morning bristles all eve : with bright articles for Blaine , and clain that there is no cause for dlsconragomon on account of the Powell Clayton inci dent , which is not regarded as a roa test. It compliments Logan and thi southern colored delegates , and attacl boldly George William Curtis , Roosevelt volt , Lodge and others whom it style political dudus. It says the resolutioi introduced by Mr. Pearce to decreas the representation from the south here after is an ungracious return for the hoi received yesterday from the south. THK CONVENTION was called to order at 11:17 : , There wa an immense attendance. Weather cleai Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. John B Barnes , of the First Presbyterian church in the course of which ho spoke of th vast moral and political changes wbic the nation had undergone , as indicate by the presence of him who now s worthily presided over the convontioi and ho asked a blessing on the race an the commonwealth , and the cause whic that gentleman represented. He praye that when the convention had dissolve it would have presented to the suffrage of tha nation for the highei office in the people's gift a cat didate who in personal charade in devotion to duty , in loyalty to Amer can institutions , in courage and ezper enceaud wisdom , should worthily sui coed to the chair of Washington , and thi help the nation to become not only moi prosperous and just and peaceful , but a so to be an inspiration and a bleuing i the struggling people of mankind.

Hawkins , ol Tonnessco/.offorod a reso- utiou pledging all delegates fO SUIT/OUT THK NOMINEE f the convention , whoever ho may bo. Pierce , of Massachusetts , opposed the osolution , homing that the convention could not bind its conscience in the unnnor proposed. Winkles , \Viscpnsin , also oppposed the psolution. It was a declaration on the art of ovorydologato that ho would sup- ort the nominee of the convention and o thought that no such declarations was cccsaary. Hawkins , of Tcnnoseno , said ho had fferod the roso'utionin good faith nnd ho rusted that no mun would bo found vot- ig against it. If any dolcgato was not tiling to support the nominee of the ( invention , ho should not participate in s deliberations , ( Cheers ) . No harm ould come of its adoption , and ho thought a adoption was desirable in view f cor.tnin whispers in the air. Knight of California , advocated the osulution , and also alluded to certain wmsraiH IN mi : AIU nd particularly to the editorial doclnra- ion of ouo of the great metropolitan Diirnals as a reason why the resolution liould bo adopted. Curtis , of Now York , warmly opposed lie resolution , nnd referred in the course f his remarks to the convention which onominatcd Mr. Lincoln 24 years ago , where naimllnr resolution was introduced nd voted down. Ho also reminded the onvontion cf what was said nnd douo our years ngo when Mr. Campbell , of Vest Virginia declared that ho was a epublican who carried his sovor- ignty under his own hat , and when ( under the load of Gar- iold ) the gentleman who presented a imilar resolution Trns induced to with- Irnw it ( cheers ) . Ho therefore asked his convention to assume that every dol- igato was an honest and honorable man. lo characterized the resolution ns one which was unworthy to bo adopted by n > ody of free men ( Loud cheers ) . The chair decided that as far as possi ble the rules of the house of ropresonta- ; ivos would bo followed , allowing altor- late speeches for and against. This ruling was made In response to appeals ' recognition from two delegates at once , the chair deciding in favor of the man who wanted to apeak for the resolu- ion. Senator Dalph , of Oregon , moved .o lay the resolution on the table. Air. tlawkias said that as his resolution had developed so much opposition ho would withdraw it. Ewing of Pennsylvania , made a report from the committee on credentials , to the effect that it hoped to jo able to complete its labors this after , noon. PERMANENT CHAIRMANSHIP. The committtop on pormanon t organ zation reported in favor of Gen. Eon dorson , of Missouri , for permanent chairman. The report was adopted. . 3en. Henderson , on 'taking the choir said : Oenilemen of the Convtnlion : Wo have as sorablod to survey the past history of the party ; to rojolco , as wo may , because of th < joodit has done ; to correct its errors , il errors there bo ; to discover , if poaaiblo , UK wants of the present , and , with patriotic firm , ness , provide for the future. Our past historj the Union preserved , slavery abolished md ita former victims equally and honorablj by our sides in this convention ; the public faitt maintained unbounded credit at homo ami ibroad , a currency convertible ? into coin , and iho pulses of industry throbbing with ronowoc health und vigor in every section of a pros Derous and peaceful country. These are the .roils of triumphs over adverse policies gainet n the military and civil conflicts of the las ! 24 years. jut of those conflicts has come n race o icroes and statesmen , challenging the confidence enco and love at homo and respect and ad miration abroad. And now when wo come ti select a standard bearer for the approachlnf conflict our chief embarrassment is not in thi want , but In the abundance of presidentla material. New York has her true and triec statesman , upon whoso admiration the fierci md unfriendly light of public scrutiny hai been turned , and the universal verdict is "Well done , thou good and faithful servant. ' Vermont has her great statesman , whoso mine Is as clear as the crystal springs of his native itato , and whoso virtue Is as firm as its graniti Mils. Ohio can come with a name , whoso mstori is that of the republican party itself. Illlnoii can come with one who never foiled in the dis charge of his public dutywhether in the roun cil chamber or on the field of battle. Malm has her honored favorite , whoso splendid abl 1 Itios and personal qualities have er.douod bin to the hearts of his friends and the brillianc ; of whoso genius challenges the admiration o alL Connecticut and Indiana may come wit ) names scarcely loss Illustrious than thoso.jAni now in conclusion , if because of personal dis agreement or the omeivnncies of tho'occasiioi another name is sought , there yet remain that grand old hero of Konosaw mountain ani Atlanta. When patriotism calls he cannot i bo would bo silent , but grasping that banne to him so dear , which he has already borne ii triumph , he will march to a civil victory no lee renowned than those of war. I thank yoi gentlemen for this distinguished mark of you confidence. The allusioni to Arthur , Sherman , Ed munds and Logan wore heartily applaud op , bat when Blaine was alluded to as i man whose splendid abilities and person al qualities had endeared him to th heart * of hl < friends , and'whoM brilllan cy challenged mankind , a f tormncf p clause broke out , and on the-stagey th floor , and the galleries , men stoxx up , and ( waving their hat and handkerchief ! ) ) cheered again au < again. The women also took part in th demonstration , and waved their fana am handkerchiefs. After the first itorm p applause had worn iUolf out it was agaii renewed , and once again , and the enthu hum wan u marked and intense as tha which charsctericed the convention o 1880 , at the time of Oarfield'a nomlns tion. It was full/ live minutes befor the chair was able to resume , and finisl his speech , Btebbins of Arizona presented a resole tion to the effect that appointment of lei ritorial officer ! by the president of th United States should be from actual re iidenU of such territories.

CUUT1S ON TUB 1'LEDUB. When Mr. Knight took his seat , about seventy-five delegates arose in different tarts of the hall and insisted on being ocognizod by the chair. The chair re- 'used to recognize any of them , and re- joatodly requested them to bo seated. .lolncUntly they took their scats and o nomout after the confusion had subsided , lie chair said : "The chair recognizes ho gentleman from Now York.

I say to him , in reply , that the presentation of such a resolution in such a convention as this is a stigma , nti Insult upon every man who stands here. This question is not a now question. 1'ro cisely the same motion was brought up at the last convention , and a man from West VIr rinia , I honor his name , that man said , IE the face of the roaring galleries , and in the Toco of all this success , this man from Vir < ; inia said : "I am a republican , who carrlet tilsjaovcralgntv underhis [ own hat.
