THE CONVENTION.

The Convention spent long time
Yesterday, discussing the report Of the
Committee on Credentials. As the dis
clsslon possessed no special interest,
being devoted mainly to an e1amin alton
into the local qusrrels of the Alabama
Republican politicians, we have thrown
the most OF it out. The majority of the
committee reported against what was
known as the SPENCER delegation, which
was understood to be friendly to NOR
ton, and this report WAS adopted by the
Convention. This was considered a
BLAINE triumph. s'
An effort was made by the friends Of
Mr. BLAINE to proceed to ballot for
Presiden; with out awaiting the report of
the Committee on Resolutions. This was
no. agreed to by the Convention. This
action of that body may possess no sig
