FROM THE SCENE OF CONFLICT. ii
CHICAGO, June 6.-From the very first
this National Convention has been coniu'
sion and turmoil, and II II would be under
stood. / would add OF third-term oil as
well. The Convention has been in the
hands OF mob. The demonstrations OF
Friday were possibly genuine, but those oil
saturday night were manufactured and out
rageous. The Grant scene for brief pc.
riod was excusable, but its continuance for
half an hour in eplleptic commissions was
part OF the tactics OF delay. 1t was the last
desperate effort OF the third-term faction,
eqged on by C0nkIing and Logan, to carry
the Convention BY brute force. The howl
ing. yelling mob gave way to passion and
frenzy. Beaten decsively on every test vote
thus far, and seeing no ray OF hope in future
proceedings by honest expression or debate
on the merits, they sought to overawe and
bulldOze the Convention by pounding and
yelling. They howled and stamped. They
broke off the backs OF the seats and pound.
ed the floor with them. They took of their
boots and pounded the seats with the heels.
They flourlshed their canes and threw their
hats IN the air. They screamed and Shrek
cd. 1t was not the spontaneous outburst OF
enthusiasm, full OF heart and cheer, that
sometimes sweeps over great crowds. 1t
was not q tribute OF admiration or affection
to the great soldier of the Republic. IL
was not a demonstration in honor of any
man or men.
A GRANT CRAZE.
It was display OF the very frenzy OF pas
sion. Any ordinary display OF enthusiasm
would have Yielded at last to the calls OF the
Chair for order, and would not have Sc
riously interrupted the business Of the Con-
yention; but the mob defed all demands
for order, stamped under foot the rights Of
the Convention, and paralyzed all business,
until it was tired out and could howl no
longer.
Its barbaric display Of force did not cease
until it was exhausted and incapable OF
further mischief. Its legs were used up,
its lung-powet exhausted, apd it settled
back limp and useless and allowed the BUSH
ness OF the Convention to 60 on because it
could no longer obstruct IT. The sigDifi-
canoe of this unreasonable, undignitied, in
decorous, and insulting display may be
found primarily in the fact that the third
termers were outvOted at the very BEGIN
ming Of the Convention, and knew that they
would be outvoted in its climax. They
knew that the material OF the Convention
was drifting away from them. They knew
that public sentiment was against them.
They knew that the great majority Of the
party-including the honesty,
decency, and reform elements OF the party
were unaterabIy and iDfexibly opposed to
the third-term principle.
THE GRANT WORKERS.
There are a great many men here who
really work. They mean business aud are
at it all the time. ConkliDg wastes no time
when in his hotel. He Is either receiving
or visiting all the time, and that means
work; for he argues, plots, combines, and
makes promises. He certainly works hard,
but to what end, save that OF delay, is not
rs yet made clear. In a more noisy. demon
strative, and unpleasant way Logan is
worker; but rudeness, roughness, and
brute force are OF small consequence In de-
Lucrative councils, and the impression pre-.
walls that Logan Is squelched. Edwards
Pierrepout is worker. Ge drew the plat
form and persuaded everyone that it was
lust the cheese. He visits delegations and
permits himself 10 be bored. I don't think
Arthur works as inuch here rs he does ut
BONE. Some OF the lesser lights OF the dele
CATION are like the fifth wheel OF a wagon.
