publican Convention.

re-nssembled at 80 p. M, and the tenn
porary organization was made perma-
tnent.
]. G. Spare, of Joe Davies county,
offered the following resolutions:
That Gen. U. S. Grant, of Illinois, is
the choice of this convention for presi-
dent Of the United States.
A motion was made to substitute the
name of E. B. Washburn.
A motion was also made to refer it to
the committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Spare moved to table this, which
was done by viva voce vote, amidst
great confusion, which lasted some time.
The motion, to substitute Washburn's
name was put by thechairand lost, when,
amid increasing confusion, the original
resolution was put and carried by viva
voce vote.
A call of the convention was loudly
demanded by the anti Grant men, and
the point of order was made that the
tabling of the motion to refer, tabled the
entire subject. The chair overruled the
point Of order. The roll call resulted in
ayes 1856, nays 307, and the resolution was
declared adopted. The announcement of
the result occasioned great applause, last
ing several minutes, hundreds of delegates
rising and cheering. Crosby of Duquense
sional districts select delegates and al
ternates to the national convention, and
that they be declared the choice of
this convention, which would have
resulted in the choice of Blaine delegates
in several districts. This opened the
great contest before the convention.
Logan opposed this motion in speech
of considerable length, in which he ad-
vocated the right Of the majority of the
convention to send to Chicago solid
delegation instructed for Grant. The
debate continued at considerable
length, Senator Logan speaking
several times. Considerable feeling was
exhibited during the debate, and al
times considerable confusion. Herman
Raster, of Chicago, said the minority
We're fighting for principle. He counsel
led peace, and warned the majority not
to abuse their power. The debate con
tinued till II o'clock when the confusion
become so great that business was sus
pended, series Of motions, points o
order, etc, being made.
At 11:48 Senator Logan suggested
that each side agree on the amount o
time they wanted for debate, that tllt
time be limited and vote then be taken
This was not agreed to, and a motion t.
adjourn was voted down.
