Gear in opinion as to the true merits of the

case.
The contestants are Sherman men.
After considerable cross firing between
different delegates, as to facts Of purely
local interest, Raymond California } said
that whichever way the convention should
vote in this case that vote would sustain
the principle Of district representa-
tiOn. Each side here claims to be district
representatives and the only controverted
question is as to whether the sitting or
contesting delegates were legally chosen
representatives of the districts involved.
The vote was then taken by call Of
states, upon substituting the minority fer
the majority report, at 1:42. The roll cali
Sd district, w. Va. So the motion to sub
and the convention voted rird rOce to seat
the contestants.
The Grant, Sherman and Edmunds men
appeared to combine Oh this affirmative
vote.
The next case of contest considered was
that of Utah, and the debate upon it was
ordered to be limited to thirty minutes.
Utah is now being considered. The plat
form committees reports that the report on
rules will not occupy much time in their
consideration, and after adjournment is
had for dinner. there is a possibility of
taking a ballot this evening.
The Significance of IL.
The $50 votes for the negaticn of the
West Virginia case are regarded by many
as indicating that Blaine's strength in the
convention is at least us great.
The Field Stronger than Blaine.
Special to the INTELLIGENCER.
CHICAGO, June 5-2P.
The convention has just voted AT to $50
to unseat contested Blaine delegates for
Sherman men in West Virginia. 1t is the
first test of Blaine's strength against the
tield-Grant and Sherman united against
Blaine. MCCLURE.
The Utah Case.
The minority report returns the sitting
delegates who the majority Of committee
say were appointed according to the almost
universal usage in Utah by Central Re-
publican committee while the contestants
were chosen by an unauthorized and irres-
ular body.
Haywood (Californla) sustained the ma
jority report and stated that the central
committee met together without any au-
thOrity and elected the two contestants.
The committee ON crednntials was almost
unanimous in favor of tlae sitting dele
gates.
Goldman (Mass.) favored the contest
ants.
Another Score Against Blaine.
The minority report in favor Of admit
ting the contestants form Utah in place OF
the sitting members has been adopted at
2:35 p. III.
Further business.
The report of the committee on rules and
order of business was taken up. The rules
of the House of Representative were recon-
The report also recommends
that when the vote of Il state is cast for Il
candidate it cannot be changed except in
case of numerical error, ten minutes to be
allowed for the presentation of each candi-
date for president.
The Ballot.
At 3 o'clock the convention proceeded
to discuss, General Sharpe's motion
to hear nominations and to ballot for pres
ident.
Sharpe's motion was rejected.

in the Sd district, West Virginia. The
committee recommended the retention of

Goldman (Mass.) urged that the principle

how the committee who reported in favor
of the 18 contestants in Illinois could have
voted against the contestants from Kansas.

The New steamer Dexter Burned

Grammar, en- route from Pittsburg to
Evansville, caught fire while under
way just opposite Jacksonville, Ind.
yesterday afternoon. The boat was
head toward the shore, but the fire

Louisville and Jacksonville ferry
boat, She mad no passengers on board
aud all the crew escaped, but lost all
their clothing, etc. She had "a fair
trip of freight, consisting of salt and
glassware, Of which the most will be
saved, as her hull was damaged but
little. The Dexter was a new boat,
just finished at Pittsburg, for the
Evansville ppd Cairo packet company,
and was on her arst Trip 10 Evansville,
She was valued ct SIC, 900 and i~nsneed

Unfortunately the landlord was
supplied with but Monaghan servitors,
and not desiring to subject his famous
guest to association with the pro.
scribed race, was at his wits end to
supply the want. His anxiety elected
the commiserat'on of a few other
guests at the house, and a young girl
who was present Miss Bancroft,
daughter Of the well known publisher
-imbibed with the spirit of adven-
ture, volunteered to essay the role Of
waitress upon the distinguished lady.
The landlord was 10th to permit the
apparent sacrifice, but reluctantly
consented, and Miss Bancroft arrayed
herself in the characteristic babili-
ments Of a French waitress, not for
getting the neat little white cap. She
served the courses with such grace
that Miss Nelson, ignorant of the de-
ceptlon, was so charmed by the atten-
ton she received that she graciously
bestowed a fee of fifty cents upon hel
soi-distant attendant.
