Special 10 the Rock Islsnd ARGUS
CINCINNATI, May 2.-ll:l5 A. M.-After
some time spent in filing committees, dis
patches were read from Utica, n. Y, with
greetings and strong words of cheer signed
by fifty of the leading men of Oneida Co.
A motion for recess created great excite
ment and opposition. The New York dele
cation was granted permission to retire.
The wildcat enthusiasm prevailed when
Cassius NJ. Clay, of Kentucky, was called.
Grosveuor, Of Missouri, demanded vote on
the question of q recess till P. NJ, 10 allow
the committees time 20 report. No vote
was taken. The chair quelled the confusion
by calling upon the committees to retire.
The motion WAS then carried to adjourn uu-
til 3 Pm DRAKE.
CNcISSATI, May 2. 2.-EKpositiOn Hall was
filed at an early hour, every State being
fully represented. No finer body OF men
ever met for grsnder revolution against q
corrupt administration. There is q strong
feeling of unity on the question of platform,
and disposition to unite on the best men.
Susan B. Anthony of New York, and the
lovely Laura Dsforce Gordon of California,
we're greeted with thunders of applause ss
they stepped upon the platform, demanding
votes in the convention. Convention met at
10 o'clock A. NJ the roll of states is being
called for committee on credentials; one
from each state and territory were appointed
q committee on permanent organization, and
similar committee was appointed on rules. 1t
is decided to refer ell matters on platform, to
the committee on resolutions without
debate.
The letter of Mrs Gordon of Cal, claim
ing q seat in the convention was read and
referred to committee on credentials amidst
great applause. A committee of one from
each state and territory was appointed on
resolutions. DRAKE.
CINCINNATI, May $3.50 P. NJ This
morning the chances for Greeley were good
but the fight Of the free traders and thsil
protest against the New York delegation
as made up in Greelsy's interest, have in
ljured him greatly, and minority will vote
against him. The Pennsylvania delegAse
also have had q quarrel among themselves
with these exceptions there are no dispute
in the delegations, The committee on OF
ganizAtion have agreed to report Senate
Schurz for permanent chairman. At thrs
o clock the shrewd politicians we're unabl
to predict the results. All agree that afte
the frat two or three ballots there will b
decided changes, as all seem determined Il
select the best men irrespective of part
prsiudices. Judge Davis seems to be tn
only man who will best combine sll tn
factions that make up this inoongruou
mass. Cox, Of Ohio, is most prominent q
the last choice. American politics hs
never seen such an uprising as this, or
II convention fraught with such vast interest,"
d TO all parties. The Grant men are beginniu
% to tremble as the forces Of the conventiO
begin to centre for action.
