CHICAGO, June 3.-The committed
on rules, at its session last night
adopted the rules of the Cincinnati
convention of 1876 with three excep.
tions-one Of them important. First
the order has been changed. Second
section has been added to Rule S
which will do away with the unit rule
allowing individual delegates to vote
as they please. 1t now reads as fol.
lows: "Rule 8. In the record of the
votes by states, the vote of each state
territory and the District of Columbia
shall be announced by the chairman;
and in case the vote of any state, ter.
ritory or the District of Columbia
shall be divided, the chairman shall
announce the number of votes cast for
any candidate, or for or against any
proposition. But if exception is
taken by any delegation to the correct
ness of such announcement by the
chairman Of the delegation, the presi-
dent Of the convention shall direct
the roll of members of such delega.
ton to be called, and the result re-
corded in accordance with the votes
Individually given" Third, in the
national committee the territories and
District of Columbia are not allowed
representation.
At four o'clock this morning the
committee on credentials, after hear
ing arguments by Col. R. G. Ingersoll
and Emory Storrs on the Illinois case
adjourned TO eleven o'clock to-day
without deciding the case, but referred
it to a subcommittee of FIVE, consist
ing of Chandler, of New Hampshire,
Strout, of Maine, Bateman, of Ohio,
Tracy, of New York, and Clayton, of
Arkansas. During the early morning
vote was taken on the contested
Alabama cases of Smith and Warner,
anti-Grant, and tho committee, by a
vote of 81 to 13 (three not yotipg),
decided to report in favor of admitting
both contestants.
The day is mild, comfortable, and
sunny. The delegates to the national
republican cOnvephon were tardy in
putting in an appearance, so that it
was nearly twelve o'clock when Judge
Hoar struck the desk with the gavel,
which was made from the doorsill Of
President LiDeolu's house ia Spring
field. The distribution of tickets had
been more generally made than yes
terday, so that the SPECTATORS seats
were filled much sooner than those
Of the delegates, and an air o.
eager expectancy peryaded the audi
ence long before the session opened.
An invocation was offered by Rev. A.
Noble, DID,, Of Union park congre-
gational, who, in eloquent words, asked
the divine blessing on the days work
Of this great and important gathering.
The committee on rules this morn
ing adopted a resolution declaring in
favor of the e-minute rule as ap-
piled to all debate in the convention.
Grants friends consider this an act of
hostility to them, and announce that
they will combat it in the convention.
The committee on credentials this
morning, at eleven o'clock meeting,
decidedin favor Of the eighteen dele
gates from nine Illinois congressional
districts, but are reported to have
taken ground against the two dele
