SPRIsGTIELp. ILL.,. Nay 20.-At 8 P. NJ.
yesterday the Committee on Credentials
appeared and submitted three reports,
which were read. The first report recites
that there are duplicate credentials from
Cook county. owing to two conventions
having met and sent delegates. It finds
that the State Central Committee did not
call upon the Republicans Of Cook county
to send delegates. but called on the Repub-
icans Of the first seven Senatorial Districts
comprising that county 70 send delegates.
Each Of these Senatorial Districts is inde-
pendent Of and distinct from any other Re-
publican organization in Cook county for
all purposes Of representation in this con-
vention. Having the action Of the ward
primaries before them. it was easier to de-
termine what il substantial justice toward
the interests involved. Neither Of the
parties calling themselves the Cook County
Convention was regular or legitimate. nor
10 their action valid. Each Of The Senate
rial Districts IL entitled to the same repre-
sentstioR here. The will Of the honest
voter at the primaries should be represent
ed here, and this would be done by disre-
garding both Of the county conventions
and according seats in this convention 10
delegates from the Senatorial Districts. By
the first report SO Grant delegates and So
Blaine and Washburne delegates ara admit
ted. The first report is signed by J. H.
Moore.
The second report. signed by the minor
ity, refers to the pledge exscted from the
Farwell Hall delegates, and says their man
agers submitted . so-called pledge, which
contained . reservation, which IL recited,
together with Kirkhsvss' explanation. The
report says this Is . Substantial failure 10
comply with the terms Of the Resolution
under which the Committee on Credentials
were instructed to consider the claims Of
tho contestants. who frankly pledged them
selves to accept and abide by the decision
of the Convention. Therefore, the Farwsll
Hall delegation has no right to be heard
before the Committee. and the Palmer
House delegation, having complied with
the terms Of the Resolutions, and having
credentials. should be admitted. The FAR
we'll Hall delegation are censured for oon-
Stunning time snd evading the question. O.
