New-York tribune., 1876-06-29

great care and more in accordance with the customs
Of conventions. His resolution contained provls-
ion that the chairman of each delegation should an
nounce the vote OF his State, and that his report
alone should be considered the vote of the delega-
ton. This last clause received with loud cries
of "No no." by the anti-Tilden men and with faint
applause from the friende Of Gov. Tilden. Mr.. Alb
bott dsolamed any purpose in introducing this reso-
luton except to time to prevent the wasting OF
the whole day. Senator Wallace of Pennsylvania
was next recognized, snd moved to lay the original
resolution with all amendments upon the table. He
called for vote by States. Just as prepara-
tons for taking this vote were being made,
the Chairman of the Committee on Resolu-
tions Mr.. Meredith OF Virginia, appeared on the
platform and announced that the Committee had
agreed upon series of resolutions. which had been
referred to n committee for revision, and which
would be finally sdoptod at o'clock Senator ker-
nan, who Lad already made ono or two Intellectual
attempts to prevent a wrangle over the pending
question, then proposed adjournment until 2
o'clock, which was carried almost unanimously
No advantage was gained By either side during
the morning scsson Ct the Convention. John Kelly
very promptly suppressed in his attempt to in
troduce tho T1mmauy ciTcul9r; but as it was done
without any opportunity for discussion or for an eX-
preston Of opinion by the Convention, it could not
be said to be very decided victory Tor tne lllCen
men. On the other hand every delay which took
place was believed to be U1fa yola5ie to Gov. Til
dens chances as it gave lis enemies time and oppor
tunity to SOW The ssed OF dSsension among has
Southern supporters.
BAD FACILITIES FOR BUSINESS.
The business OF the Convention was much i'm
peded to-day rs well as yesterday, by the imbociiiy
which had presided over the arrangements OF the
hall. There was no way Of access to the platform
except at either end. There were no steps leading
up the middle of the stage there usually are i'll
gatherings of this kind that Speakers can readily
find their way to the platform ana make themselves
heard in all parts of the hall when important ques-
tions are discussed. There not even an aisle to
the Chairman's desk cut through the reporters
tables by which speakers might at least have
scrambled on the Platform, o. pages might
have carried resolutions ana motions TO tho
desk The unbrolen line Of reporter tables reached
more than the full length of the platform, aus the
narrow aisle which separated them from the body of
the Convention constantly blocked up with peo-
pie, so that it was lympo-sblc for speakers
to get TO the platform. The Iage boys accordingly
had to push and struggle ana work their way along
through the crowd. 1t took several minutes for the
BOYS to get anything to the dc7k, where Mr. Pierce
and the rest Of his secretaries Gu,tered, and hesi
tated and mumbled, the Convention all the
while scarcely able to retain its patience. The re-
suit was a great deal of delay and confusion
which might have been prevented by the exercise OF
very little common sense and decent intelligence
