PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-An thi
morning the streets were crowded witt
vast thrOngs of people, moving to an,
fro. The day was delightful, and tn,
display Of bunting from the publit
buildings all over the city was a spec
tacle of the grandest character. At th,
Academy of Music flags were numer
Cu-ly displayed, extending across tn,
T / street. The Academy was filed lOnl
: before the hour for the assemblage O
the convention. The delegates were al
seated at about half-past ten O'clOck, en-.
tering amid the warmest demonstration
Of enthusiasm
i. Every available space in the Acad.
emy was taken up. On the third tier
which was mostly unOccupied this
morning, was literally packed yester-
day, many, owing to the heat in that
quarter appearing in their shirt sleeves
BUSINESS
The Committee on Platform not hav-
: ing come in, there was some dalay in
/ opening the session. It is understood
! that there has been a somewhat serious
! difference of opinion in the committee.
At half-past ten O'clock, Chairman
Settle called the convention 70 order.
After music by the band, the roIl OF
States was called, when the presence OF
each was announced by the Chairman
of their respective delegations.
Here it was discovered that about one
hundred persons obtained entrance sur
reptitiOusly to the hall, all Of whom
were expelled by the ergeant-at-Arms.
PRAYER
was offered by Rev. D. Harper, of North
Broad street church. He spoke Of the
day as one which would be memorable
in the future; day which was TO record
another page in national history; a day
in which centered and around which
clustered not merely the welfare, but
possibly the destiny, of the nation. He
prayed that the platform TO be estab-
lished should be the embodiment of
wise, and just, and humane principles,
and that the man to be selected to bear
the banner of the Republican party, and
to I'll the highest place Of honor and
trust in this land, should be specially
blessed, and that the efforts Of the con-
ventiOn should be crowned with glorious
success.

Mr.. Devor IOregon1 arose and said:
"OregOn is redeemed; she has gone Re-
publican in the election held last Mon

lican in representative aud legislature"
Three cheers for Oregon.
Mr.. Oliver Ames Massachusetts from
the Committe on Rules and Order Of
20 hg, Id
in alphabetical order, each State shall
be entitled to double its Senatorial and
Congressional votes, according to the
recent appOTtionment. The report on
credentials to be first, and the platform
to be disposed of before the nomination,
rOll-call not to be dispensed with on
nominations, and when the majority
given for any candidate shall appear
the chair shall put the question to the
convention, "Shall the nominations be
unanimOus?'' In case of a divided
delegation the Chairman shall state the

REPORT ON CREDENTIALS.
Mr. PendletOn [Iowab from the Com
mittee ON Credentials, reported all the
States and Territories as represented in
full, and no contests, except DacOtah
and Utah. In the case of Dakotah they
admit all four delegates, with two seats
between them, and in the case of Utah
they admit the Holl;ster-GOuldd delegates.
Mr.. Southland TCalifornial moved to
amend the report 50 as to admit both
Utah delegates. He understood one set
we're excluded because they were Nor
mons.
Mr.. SUoddard Massachusetts, said the
excluded delegates were excluded be-
cause they were not regularly chosen.
Mr.. Spencer sad these men had come
a great distance, and proposed to admit
and marry all.
Mr.. Wurtz New York. said that the
same proposal had been made in COM
mittee, and the compromise had been
distinctly refused by the Mormon dele
gates.
The amendment was rejected, and the
report was then adopted.
The Gentle delegation from Utah,
who were admitted to seats in the con-
VentiOn to-day, instead Of the Mormon
delegates, sustained their application in
a strong paper presented to the conven-
tion, which concludes as follows: awe
do not see how q National Republican
could recognize polygamy by the adj
mission to seats of Smith and Fuller
without standardization without plac-
ing q premium on disloyalty and quasi
without doing great injustice |
to the loyal people of Utah and Outrag-
ing every sense of decency as well as the |
true Republicans of the entire nation, |
without distinction as TO party"
