uIalnatlcally alter the opening motion
made by Mr.. Henderson Of Iowa.
There we're scenes of wild excite.
ment IN which the galleries particle
psted IN d manner go extraordinary
as TO draw from the chair a sharp
Teprimand and threat TO cause the
removal OF those inierrupting the
speaker. The Was most pronounced
when Logan vas speaking in opposI-
ton to the resolution offered by Hen
derson; cheers which were heard on
one side were drowned By Kisses ano
shouts OF Remember Springfield
convention" on the other. At first
Mr. COukling was absent and when
be appeared and slowly walked down
the aisle to his seat he was greeled by
g handsome ovation. His participation
in the contest was relisheG by the
audience. 4 more prolonged greeting
met Gen. Garfield when he spoke fer
the committee on rules in a few com
pact and clear cut sentences and 80
explained the situation that all could
understand it. The effect ofthe roll
call, which was demanded by Sharpe
OF New York, vas not fully under
stood. Even when one cfthe Alabama
delegates demanded to have his vote
recorded in correction of the report OF
the chairman OF his delegation, and
the chair promptly ruled tia; the
delegate had right 10 have his vote
recorded, notice Was hardly taken ct
| it, bat when, in the caseo OF Kentucky,
four delegates demanded their rights
in angry and boisterons tones, and
stood on chairs until the chairman
directed their votes to be recorded
against the substitute for the original
RESOLUTION, the meaning OF the contest
was fully appreciated, and the gal
leries applauded again and sgaiu in
the midst OF intenss excitement. The
chairman OF the kentucky delega-
ton announced that he would read
the names OF the four delegates. Mr..
Conkling arose, snd walking down
the aisle, shook bis finger at the
chairman, who directly took his seat
without fulfilling his promise to read
the names. There stood the four
delegates in their chairs, sustained
by the applause OF the vast audience,
and firmly resolved to have their votes
recorded against the majority Of their
delegations. President Hoar took in
the situation, and directed the secre-
tary to record the four votes in the
negative.
This scene was equalled when New
York was called and CJnkling an
nounced that he was directed by his
delegation to cast AZ votes in the
affirmative and % in the negative.
The break 10 the New York delega.
ton was now an established fact.
At this point the hall pre-
scented a very animated scene;
delegates and slternates We're
on the floor waving hsndkerchieis
and clapping hands, while the audi
ence in the wide swept g gallerie:
rose en- nlGsse, clspped their hands
threw their arms wildly about anC
lshouted until the yaiters rung. Thu
WAS again repeated when the vote
was announced and the substitute
was declared defeated by the decisivt
vote of 3I8 ayes to 416 noes; to euci
fever heat had the excitement beer
raised that when the original resolu
ton was Withdrawn the endinl
seemed flat beyond measure.
The affirmative vote is regarded a!
the possible strength of Grant, ant
the negative as that OF the opposition
Frem the affirmative should be de
. Quoted the vote OF Vermont, 3 OH
votes, and l Wisconsin; to it SHOULD
be added g. least 10 absentees.
If the report OF the committee or
credentials is adopted, as it nov
seems probable, it will add to Gran
, votes in Kansas and take from hin
) 16 votes in Illinois. The Gran
managers, however, declare, tonight
that they are gratitied a the result. o

and Fillery held o conference thi
: evening, but its report is not known
Blaine and Grant men appear I'm
usually confident tonight, snC

q are in nowise Respondent. Cos
J sip regarding a combination
l is uncommonly scarce, and many
of the delegates sought early repose
to prepare for the session tomorrow
which is expected to be the most mo-
mentous OF the convention.
There is a general belief now tina
the convention will not conclude it
Lahore before Saturday.
