Unit" Rule
SPRINGFlELD, May 20.-At 1880 p. m. the
Convention reassembled. j. @. Spare Of
fered a resolution that Grant is the choice
of the Convention for President. A mo-
ton to substitute the name OF Washburne
was tabled, aud. by vote OF $50 to 3V1,
Spares resolution was adopted amid
scene of the widest confusion and excite
ment. Crosby moved the various Congress
sioual districts select delegates and alter
mates to the National Convention and be
declared the choice of the Convention,
which would have resulted in the choice of
Blaine delegates in several districts. This
opened the great contest before convention.
Senator Logan opposed this motion IN a
speech of considerable length, in which he
advocated the right of this majority of the
CONVENTION to send to Chicago solid dele
CATION instructed for Grant. He cited
precedepts in Illinois as to unit instructions.
They could not expect TO secure Grants
nomination by sendiDg delegates opposed
to his nomination. He favored Grant be-
cause he believed Grant could and would
be elected, AID declared that with forty-two
solid votes from Illinois, Grant had enough
votes to nomin ate him on the first ballot.
G. w. Thomas, Of st. Clair. made a strong
speech. He claimed the call of the Ma
tional Committee invited each Congress
sional district to send two delegates to
Chicago. His district (17th) had chosen
delegates who had their credentials in their
pockets, and asserted their rights. He
moved to amend Logan's motion so that the
Committee should simply report delegates
at-large. Gray Fulton said the 9th district
had elected delegates, having nineteen anti
Grant votes to four for him. 1t would
crush tue party to ignore these districts.
Kirk HAYES, of Chicago. said delegates
had been sent from Cook county on the
ground that they had been elected by SEN
atorial districts. They now propose TO try
the same plan in selecting delegates.
The previous question was ordered at l
o'clock. Thomas substitute, which pro-
vided that the Committee should select
delegates at-large was defeated by 3O4 ayes
to 3S9 hayes. The roll was called on Lo-
gan's substitute providing for the appoint
meut by the Chairman of committee to
select district delegates and delegates-at-
large. This was adopted at once by 3s9
ayes to 3O4 noes The Chair Immediately
announced he Committee, which consisted
of nineteen Grant men. A motion to ad-

THE RAILROAD SILVER WELDING.

The First Railroad Spikes Driven IN
Montana--They Are to be Oseo an
Fatenlnq the First Rails OF the
Northern Pacific and Deposited with
the Historical Society.
The ceremony OF driving the liver spike
in the first rail which connected the Terri
tories of Idaho and Montana on the Utah
and Northern Railroad is one OF such MS
torical importance that all It's particulars
should be preserved. Two of the spikes
were furnished by Mr.. Benjamin Richard
soma Director of the road, whose early and
long continued interest in its progress led
him to desire to mark the occasion by some
osteutatious aud signal proceedings. The
other two spikes from Montana were made
BY Mr.. George p. Reeves OF Helena from
silver furnished by Col. W. F. Sanders and
w. G. Child, Esq, from the Lexington
lode near Helsna. They have been return
cd and 1t is contemplated to send them to
the Northern Pacific Railroad TO be used
in a similar ceremony when, during the
summer, that road shall be built from Da-
kota into Montana, after which they are to
be deposited with the Historical Society
with suitable inscriptions. Mr.. Richard
son is an old California pioneer, resident
now in New York City but interested in
many enterprises such as the Utah and
Northern, Utah aud Western, and Chicago,
Saginaw and Canada Railroad; also the
Colorado Cattle Com pany's rancho of 81, 600
acres stocked with 6, 600 head of cattle, and
the St. Geneveive Stone Quarries from
which stone Is supplied for the Iowa State
Capitol at Des Moines and the Government
buildings at Rock Island. ..
Mr.. Richardson finding it impossible to
be present at the ceremonies Of the 9th OF
March, wrote the following letter:
