SO Sharpe's amendment was rejected.
The announcement was received with tu-
multuOus applause and cheers. The qucs-
tion recurring on the original motion, Mr..
Brandagce, of Connecticut, said he rose in
the interests of order, harmony and peace.
He had voted against the amendment just
rejected, but he thought there was fair
understanding in the committee on rules
that their report should not be made until
after that of the committee on credentials
He moved to lay on the table the pending
motion instructing the latter committee to
report. with a view to adjourning until
morning.
The motion to table was agreed to, and
the convention, on motion of Mr.. Metcalf,
of Illinois, adjourned at Gas until 10 a. m.
to-day.
The Situation this Morning.
CHICAGO, June 4, 10 q. m.-The papers
all agree that the unit rule will be voted
down. and that the convention cannot get
through before to morrow night. At the
Grants delegates caucus they decided to
stick if the balloting lasted week.
The Lancaster County Case.
The Lancaster case came up in the COM
mittce on credentials after the disposition
of Louisiana. and f. X. Martin presented
the claims of himself and Kline at consid-
cradle length, and was answered by the
so called regulars, !. Hay Brown, esq, ap-
pearing for them. Then Cessna took a
hand, and, armed with all sorts of papers
and his emphatic figures of speech, la
bored earnestly, with the committees to
reject the contestants. After a short dis
cussion among the members Of the COM
mittee, the question was taken, and viva
voce vote leaving the result in doubt, a
call of the roll was ordered. 1t
showed 81 to 10 in favor of Martin
and Kline, with the states of Georgia
the two Carolinas. Tennessee, Florida and
the territory of Wyoming unrepresented.
1t was then agreed that the vote should be
left open until all had been recorded.
After midnight the attendance of four of
the nine was secured and their names were
called. Georgia and North Carolina IA
vored Martin and Kline, and Florida and
South Carolina, Kaufman and Seltzer.
The vote then stood 90 to 81 in favor of
the former, and after all had been recorded
a majority had voted to admit Kline and
Martin.
Cessna will will make a minority report
in behalf of Kaufman and Scltzer
The committee have agreed not to dis
turb the delegates-at- large, and so J. Hay
Brown, esq, will get in as Lin Bartholo-
news substitute.
