At the second meeting the roll OF delegates was
called. Watkins, OF Michigan, nominated
for Permanent Chairman George Il. Hoar, and
Norris Hutchings. of Kentucky, nominated Ex.
Postmaster General John A. Cresswell, of Mary
land. Both names were surprises. 1t was under.
stood in the morning that w. E. Chandler would
ret the Permanent Craftsmanship.
The State failed from feeling that If given to
him the Grant men might nominate an inde
pendent candidate and make trouble in the Con-
vention.
Speeches of q more or less personal character
were made on both candidates. The vote resulted
y follows:
For Hoar-Alabama, California, Connecticut
Delaware. Georgia, Indiana. Iowa. Kansas, Maine
Maryland. Massachusetts,, Michigan. Minnesota
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New jersey North Carolina, Ohio

tyate one Vice President and two Assistant secre-
tares for the perfection Of the permanent organ
izatiOn D.
The two Secretaries and the two Assistant Sec
retares of the temporary organization hold over.

third Secretary to give the South better represent
alton in organization. .t
Adjourned
Hoar is understood to prefer Edmunds, but will
vote with his delegation for Sherman.
Cresswell represents the stalwart Grant interest
and the vote in Committee is regarded by SOME as
indicating the anti-GIant strength In the Conven.
ton. remarkable thing is that neither Mary
land nor Delaware, Cresswell's own States, voted
for him. and several Southern States claimed solid
for Grant voted against him.
Conkling said in conversation with intimate
personal friends last night that he counts with
certa nty on 40votes on the first ballot for Grant.
COMMITTEE ON RULES, ETC.
The Committee OH Rules and Order of Business
met at the Officers Room of the Exposition Build
ing and organized. with Garfield as Chairman,
and General J. w. chase of Rhode Island, Secre.
tary. 1t was resolved that subcommittee of
seven be appointed to prepare rules and order of
I business for The Convention and report tn meet
Ing of the full Committee this morning.
4 The Subcommittee consists of Sharpe, of New
York; Powers. Of Maine; Morse, of Massach usetts:
| Drake OF Minnesota; Turner, of Wisconsin; Car.
I ter OF Mississippi. and the Chairman Of the Com
mittee as ex-officio member. This makes the
[ Sub committee which considers the unit rule
u uuestOn stand one each for Grant, Blaine, Sher.
n man, Window, Edmunds; one non.committal,
/ and the ex-offico member Sherman man. This
Is five to two against Grant, giving the Grant par
ty the member whose position IS not known. This
Subcommittee met last evening at the Gardner
House.
The subcommittee OF Seven, of the Commit
tee on Rules. held very lengthy and excited
meeting at the Gardner House last night General
Garfield presiding. The work went on smoothly,
the rules of the Convention of four years ago be-
Ing adopted with unimp0rtant corrections until
lhe last rule was reached Tn defines the man
ner Of voting. Gen. Sharpe, OF New YORK. IN ia
vor of the unit rule. held that the old rule was
mfacient for the anti-Grant men, and ought to
be detained in the present shape The expression
of the Comm ttee shows them to be five to two in
favor of explicitly defn ng the right of every in
I dividual delegate to vote he chooses. This the
l Subcommittee will undoubtedly report TO the
full Committee to-day.
The Committee on Rules had an exciting meet
ing this forenoon to consider the action of the
Sub Committee last night in preparing rules for
the government of the Convention.
The report of the Subcommittee was ratified
without discussion till the later clause Of the
Eighth Rule was reached. This prevents States
from changing the vote after it is recorded till the
ballot is announced.
The rule was antagonized by General Sharpe. OF
New York and other Grant men, but was ratified
by vote of 10 to 13. The same parties also op-
posed rule s, prepared by the Subcommittee,
which provides in explicit terms for the votes of
individual delegates as against the unit rule.
The Subcommittee rule was sustained by vote
Of 25 too
