CRACK THE LASH OF BOSS
Over Illinois Republicans in the ir No
convention. This brought wild roa,f
applause, at which the swsrthy sensr
grinned. Mr.. Storrs followed, speaking r
report No. /. He opened by saying k
would not sicken the sense of decency d
the convention by relating the dirty trick
resorted to by the anti-Grant men in Cook
county to steal this delegation. This was
no place for such dirty history. After much
declalming and references 20 the rascality
practlced by the Farwell hall Republicans
to carry the day and smirch Grant, he in
formed them that they could not traduce
the great chieftain or take one inch from
his magnificent height. If the anti Grant
men wanted to go from this convention, as
they declared they would do if their ninety
two delegates were not admitted, he said
90 and good.by, sweetheart, good-by; and
we the Grant men will select delegates to
Chicago and we propose to instruct them
whether you 60 or not.
Mr. Hames briefly replied to Mr.. Storrs,
starting out by referring to his (StorrsD
statements of rascality, and with much bit
terness remarked that somebody had lied
This ended a most exciting scene. When
the senator, with senatorial dignity and sol
emnity, arose and gave more instructions
to his henchmen, then, amid intense excite
ment, the vote on Robbins substitute was
taken and it was lost by 2s9 yeas and 800
nays. Under Logan'S resolution the

Running over all opposition and report
number one was adopted by 34l yeas to
POI nays, and the question of seating the
thirty-siX Grant delegates from Cook coun-
ty was decided in their favor by eighty ma
jority, giving the Grant men the convention
by sixty majority. The temporary organi-
cation was made permanent, when the con
ventlon took a recess until s p. IN.
NIGHT SESSION.
Tonight witnessed the most riotous and
disgracetul proceedings that ever character
Ized a delberatlye body in Illinois. At
7;3O o'clock the convention reassembled.
Mr. Spare Of Joe Daviess began the riot by
Introducing resolution declaring U. S.
Grant the choice Of the convention for pres
ldent, and urging his nomination at Chi
cage. This resolution was adopted without
debate by majority Of 10, Frank Crosby
OF Kane, then moved that each congress
sionaI delegation select delegates by dis.
tricts to the national convention and TIM
they be declared tie delegates of this con-
vention, Mr. Logan offered to amend his
motion that a committee of one member be
selected from each congressional district to
select one delegate from each district and
four at large and that they be declared the
delegates from Illinois to the national con-
vention, and instructed by this convention
to vote for Grant tor president.
The proceedings were
UTTERLY INDESCRIBABLE.
Threats, ordinations and determinations
were INDUCED in between delegates. Roars,
cat'calls and jcers greeted the delegates as
as they attempted to speak. Kisses and
groans filled the hall that could he heard
blocks away. Ant.Grant men threatened
to bolt and send delegates to Chicago, de-
cIarng they would be admitted, etc.
These riotous demonstrations continued
from eight p. III. until twelve o'clock and
thirty minutes this morning The leaders
Of the Grant men were Logan of Jackson,
