Tbe nthnslaui " Last Night. It is notable that tbe great " enthusiasm ' of last night was aroused by Emery Sterrs, the ex-attorney of the Chicago whisky ring, who made his eloquent plea for Grant te a gallery packed with heelers. It was a competition of lungs between the Blaine clacqueuis and theG rant rowdies and each tried te outhewl the ether. Mr. Conkling was conspicieus in leadiug the chorus, lirst by waving his handkerchief and later by standing en Ins chair anil waving the illuminated little banner placed te designate the seats of the New Yerk dele gation. Beb Ingersoll, seizing 2 a lady's shawl, wared it frantically from the plat form. In the centre of the stage, just back of the chair, a fine looking lady with a flag in one hand and a parasol in the ether swung them te and fro and repeated time and again : '" Hurrah for Blaine !" She appeared te be in company with Governer Jewell, of Connecticut. Finally she ob tained two flags, and, with one in each hand, continued her enthusiastic efforts as Innrr i till imrnflr laf Af? When Sterrs get in a shot at Hayes by saying that "the grand old soldier (Grant) is carrying forward the banner of the slug gards," the applause became deafening. It could net be controlled at all. Men tore the shields of the states from their fasten ings, and Tennessee, Kentucky, Flerida, Virginia, Illinois, Texas, Alabama, New Yerk and Vermont, were waving their ban ners under the blazing chandeliers, The Convention Te-day. Chicago, June 5, 11:11 a. m. The dele gates are steadily assembling The galler ies are filling rapidly, dispite heavy showers of rain and a sultry atmosphere, only partially relieved by occasional thunder. The usual rounds of applause were given te notable delegates as they entered the hall. Mr. Garfield especially was received with much enthusiasm prob ably because in some contingencies he is considered a possible winning dark horse in the presidential race. The "Eloquent Prayer." Kcv. Baxter's opening prayer included the following : "Ged, thou Creater of all things, and Mighty Sustainer of all Thy creatures, we begin this day with thank ful acknowledgment of Thy mercies. We commend unto Thy favor and grace the members of this convention. Utile, we pray Thee, in all their counsels, guide all their deliberations, and declare through their vote, for the wisest, for the truest, for the best man te lead this great party in the contest which awaits it. Forbid that the cry of passion should be louder here than the calm voice of duty "forbid that prejudice should warp judgment and compromise principles ; nor permit personal preferences te impair or imperil the peace, the harmony, the en thusiasm, unity of purpose, of fidelity te trust of this convention. " Bleeding Kansas." The chair stated the question te be 011 the report of the committee en credentials, in the case of Kansas, Cenger briefly explained and sustained the majority report. The convention agreed te limit the de bate en Kansas te forty minutes. Plumb (Kan.) replied en behalf the sit ting members and sustaining the minority report. Conkling, coming in while Plumb was speaking, stepped te salute him and was greeted with applause from the Grant sym pathizers. Henk (Twin.) said he did net knew which side of the pending question he was en and asked te be allowed te speak two minutes in order te ascertain his own posi tion. Laughter. The chair said t'.ie gcntlenai must be en one side or the ether te entitle him te oc cupy any of the time allotted te this de bate. Renewed laughter. Houk was allowed te proceed and said he would sus tain the majority report because there was no minority report, but he did net want te be understood thereby as condemning the action of the congressional district in Kansas. Bateman (Ohie) said he did net want te see the tactics of Tammany hall established and maintained iu a Republican organiza tion, te override the true sentiment of the people themselves, as Tammany in New Yerk city overrode the solid Republicans north of Harlem bridge. Therefore he was for the majority report. The Vete. The question was then takcu by a call of the states and the majority report iu the Kansas case was sustained : Yeas, 47G, nays, 184. New Yerk's Division. It was noticeable that in the Kansas case, New Yerk cast only 22 in the affirm ative. Se the majority report, which admits four Grant men (with two votes) from Kansas, was adopted, the committee en credentials holding they were entitled te scats under the principle of district 1 epic sentatien. The Jewel Consistent.-. The failure of the New Yerk Grant men te vote is understood te be caused by a de sire te have the majority report sustained. while their votes ler it would be inconsist ent with their vote in the Illinois cases. It is manifest that the Grant leaders arc using every exertion te compel the longest possible delay. They feel that the longer they can keep the convention in session the mere chance they have te tire out the op position and every possible roll call is de manded and ether filibustering devices are resorted te. West Virginia. The next case taken up was the contest in the 3d district, West Virginia. The committee recommended the retention of sitting members, who are Blaine men. Cenger explained and supported the ma jerity report. Clayten (Ark.) moved te substitute the minority repeit for that of the majority. The minority report recommends the ad mission of the contestants. Raum (Ills) insisted that the "West Va., case steed precisely en all fours with tbe Illinois and Kansas cases, and as the con testants from Illinois and Kansas bad been admitted, these from West Virginia should also be. The Beet en the Other Leg. Codman (Mass.) urged that the principle of district representation required the seating of the ' contestants in the West Virginia case in accordance with the min ority report. He could net understand hew the committee who reported in favor of the 18 contestants in Illinois could have voted against the contestants from Kansas. Hogans ( wTVa.) sustained the majority report, urging that these contestants failed te prove before the .committee that tiiey secured the votes of a majority of the dele gates te tbe state convention from the con gressional districts Cenger sted thatch oemmittee were nearly equally divided en this case, and rather intimated that he was net, himself c?eac in opinion as te the true merits of the case. " The contestants are Sherman men. Alter considerable cress firing between different delegates, as te facts of purely local interest, Haymond ( California') said that whichever way the convention should vote in this case that vote would sustain the principle of district representa tien, iacn side Here claims te be district representatives and the only contreverted question is as te whether the sitting or contesting delegates were legally chosen representatives of the districts involved. The vote was then taken by a call of states, upon substituting the minority ft r the majority report, at 1:42. The roll call resulted : Yeas, 417 ; nayp, 330, en the 3d district, W. Va. Se the motion te sub stitute the minority report was agreed te. and the convention voted ri"ri voce te scat the contestants. The Grant, Shermau and Edmunds men appeared te combine 011 this affirmative vote. The next case of contest considered was that of Utah, and the donate upon it was ordered te be limited te thirty minutes. Utah is new being considered. The plat form committees reports that the report en rules will net occupy much time in their consideration, and after adieurnmeut is had for dinner, there is a possibility of taking a ballet this evening. The Significance of It. The 330 votes for the negation of the West Virginia case are regarded by many as indicating that Blaine's strength iu the convention is at least as great. The field Stronger than Blaine. Special te the Istelliekiickr. Chicago, June 5 2 p. m . The convention has just voted 417 te 330 te unseat contested Blaine delegates for Sherman men in West Virginia. It is the first test of Blaine's strength against the field Grant and Sherman united against Blaine. 3IcCi.cuk. The Utali Cute. The minority report returns the sitting delegates who the majority of committee say were appointed according te the almost universal usage in Utah by Central Re publican committee while the contestants were chosen by an unauthorized anil irreg ular body. Haywood (California) sustained the ma jority report antl stated that the central committee met together without any au thority and elected the two contestants. The committee en crednntials was almjst unanimous in favor of tits sitting dele gates. Cedmau (Mass.) favored the contest ants. Anether Scorn AbaliiKt Blaine. The minority report in favor of admit ting the contestants form Utah in place of the sitting members has been adopted at 2:35 p. m. . Further Businesx. The report of the committee 011 rules and order of business was taken up. The rules of the Heuse of Reprcsantatire were recom mended. The report also recommends that when the vote of a state is cast for a candidate it cannot be changed except in case of numerical error, ten minutes te be allowed for the presentation of each candi date for president. The Ballet. At 3 o'clock the convention proccetle 1 te discuss. General Sharpe's motion te hear nominations and te ballet for pres ident. Sharpe's motion was rejected. .- CONVENTION NOTES. Episodes of the Struggle. Troops of delegates could be found in and around the Palmer Heuse all day ready te sell season tickets of admission, and they found a lively market at prices ranging from S10 te $20. Old Madisen Wells is there. "Whom are you for ?" was asked of him, " Grant, Blaine or Shermau '" Wells winked and said : "Oh, I'm for all of 'em." Bill Chandler, " the political fa nip," who eut-generaled Cameren, is a slight, boyish figure, in 110 particular noticeable, except for an apparent' insignificance. He has thin, gray hair ; a thin, gray beard ; a thin, fiat chest ; thin legs and thin arms. His head is small, his eyes arc small, and his nose is small. Ne woman would ever fall iu love with him at first sight. There has been great complaint about the distribution of admission tickets, and Roe,t of the local committee, had te be let out a second-story back window of tin: Palmer house with a ladder, te protect him from violence for his alleged partiality ill their distribution. Twenty-five tickets reserved for Mr. Hear were stolen from him, and it is rum ored that some of the colored membeis of the convention have been selling them. Queen Victeria's son, Leepold, who is looking at the convention, has a head small and shelving, and well covered with hair of a brownish tint that stretches from a little pimple near his car down his slen der neck. He has the Victorian eye and the lip of a Guelph. Hisuese indicates cu riosity, being long and prominent, with a tendency te point heavenward that is net entirely pleasant. Leepold's as yet undeveloped mustache does net conceal the fact that his mother never taught him te keep his mouth shut. On the contrary, he sat with one thin leg thrown ever the ether long one, his upper teeth showing like squirrel's and his long bauds being knuckly and red as a boiled lobster. Whenever the convention gets dull the delegates rush out te a refreshment stand at'the deer, and every mother's son comes in with a pic. A hall full of men and the men full of pic is a pretty dyspeptic scene, and such a ne was presented te the guests en the plat form. There is a smell of sewer gas in the hall, and quinine pills arc at a premium. There is nothing te cat and nothing whole some te drink. The crowd is simply im mense and crowds stand in all the aisles. Old Senater Hear's gavel with which he calls the convention is as big a nuisance as Jack Fry's cane was at Fulton hall. The Herald bays : " He raised his arm and giving a mighty blew, struck the desk with his gavel and -cnt neuralgic thrills through every nervous head. There aic mere deranged medulla oblengatas in the convention te-day than in the entire coun try besides. Mr. Hear's gavel is an intol erable nuisance." Last night while going up the hotel stairs Legan carelessly said he would bet a 1000 en Grant. A New Yerk man bounced him at once. Legan wouldn't wait till the man get his money ; but he followed Legan, and made old Jack of Spades take the water. WKATIIKR INDICATIONS. Washington, June .".
