opposed to 1t as the violation uf. ,an old
and long-establtsled custom that, At ;

Is that III view Of ills being Federal officer

EVERYTHING WORKING SMOOTHLY.

present hut two. 1t was decided, that tho
Hon. a. II. Jones, Chairman Ut tho Commit
tee, should Gull the Convention to order at
noon Tomorrow, and nominate as Ttm-
porary Chairman the per.on selectctl by tho
Committee. The lion. Grec,t u. llaunl, Cum
missioner of Internal Revenue, was then )
unanimously selected rs Temporary Chair

4 resolution WIS tltcn unanimously adopt
cd providing that no one be admitted To the

testing delegations be admitted to the floor
Ut the hail. but be given tickets to tho gnIle-
ries, and TINT tickets for tho remaining scat
Ing capacity OF the ha1l be- cQuaIly divided
urnong members OF the Committee.
1t was nlso decided to
DEPA,sr FROM THE USUAL. PROGRAM
on account ut the contest In Cook. County.
Instead Ut calling tho delegates together ut
10 n. III. by Congressional districts as usual,
to select district delegates aid members Of
the different committees, all the districts but
tic First and Third, which are partly III Cook
County, will meet at 10 and select only their
members of the Committee on Credentials.
This plan gives satisfaction to every
body, and no business will be transacted
until tic contest in Cook County Ia settled.
II the l,sual plan Ind been adopted Mt first,
three districts would not ]Inye been repre-
srntett OIL the different committees till all
the business was transacted.
Under tho program adopted the Corven-
| tton will organize, the districts will report q
I committee OH credentials, and u recess will
| probably be tlkc1l. When tho report Of the
Committee Is presented and disposed Of,
| ANOTHER RECESS WILL. LIE TAKEN
to allow the districts to meet, SO that a two
days Convention HOW seems inevitable. The
fairness displayed by the Grant majority in
| the Stnte Eentrnl Committee In making these
Arrangements Indicates that tile Convention
Will bc \ harmonious one. :. =,
