AN EXCITING EPISODE.
The only episode which broke in upon this dull
part Of the routine business Of the Convention Oc-
Cured after the call of States had been COM
pleted. Mr.. Frye, of Maine, o member OF the
| National Committee, rose from his seat on the
platform, and said he had been informed that in
the call the Territory of Utah had been omitted
| He moved therefore, that tho name of that Terri
tory DO called, i'll order that ITS delegates might
have nm opportunity to be represented on the
| several committees.
The temporary chairman remarked that If there
was objection, Utah would be called, of cour.e.
Mr. Conkllng then rose, and in loud. ringing tones
said, with great emphasis " There is objection, Mr..
! Chairmau." and his announcement was received
| with great Outburst Of applause. Mr.. Conking
then said that he rose to u point of order. The
| National Committee had prepared u list OF tho
! States and Territories and 1t was in accordance
with tho understanding that that list should De ac-
ccptcd that the resolution under which the Con-
vention was acting was agreed to- Mr. Conbling's
point Of orlcr was that no had q right TO move
that any State he called which not on the list
The temporary chairman, Senator IIOar, promptly
ruled that while tie Convent on had been proceed
ing under such an understanding as Mr.. COnkling
had mentioned, 1t was certainly III order for any
member to move that Utah be called.
Mr.. Conkling then. apparently in 4 state of great
excitement. asked if it woud be in oricr to move
to amend Mr.. Frye's resolution by adding TINT the
State Of Louisiana shouid also be called.
The temporary chairman replied in the aflirma-
tirc.
Mr. Conllng then said that he should not move
any such amendment, but he wished to say that the
Territory of Utah was omitted from the list as tho
state of Louisiana was. by reason Of an under
standing reached in the National Committee and
he intmaicd that there would be bad faith on the
part Of any member of tho Convention who should
undertake 10 sccuro the representation of either
Mr.. Frye instantly replied that a. member Of
the National Committee, present ut al the meetings
of il whlch had been hrld IN the city during the
past week, Lc wished to that 1t was agreed in
that committee that the Territory of Utah should
be placed the list and that tho state Of Louis-
lana ,houd be omitted. lie addel that the Sccrc.
tary Of the National Committee, who sat near him.
had informed him that the Territory of Utah had
been omitted from the roll by mistake.
This announcement was received by the COnvcn-
tion with the most emf usia,tic outburst of ap-
pause. 1t placed Mr. Conkiiug i'll an extremely
awkward pu-i. iona position from which any man

this afternoon: ~ s,on "a the Committee was
called to order the Hon. Green Il. Raum moved that
General g. +. Tracy, Of Ncw-York. DO chosen clair
man, Mr. William T.. Chandler moved to amend |
the notion by substituting the namo of |
the II ~. o. ID. ConRrr, of Michigan. When II vote |
was taken it, stood 20 for Mr.. Cougcr to for Gen
cral Tracy This wa the first trial of strength in |
tho committee between tho ani-Cirant and Grant |
men, and was fair Indication OF the sentiment Of |
the committee. An adjournment then took place |
until ; o'cock when the committee began its sec
ond sc ion II was agreed that the cases OF substi-
tutcs and proxies be first Disposed of.
The fist ease presented was that of Oregon. Tho |
Convention in that State elected six drlcgntcs to
thc National Convention, but had chosen no alter
mates nor made any PROVISIONS for iing vacancies.
@ ,ly four of the DELEGATES have come to Chicago,
and the question arusc whether the vacancies
should be filled by the delegates here should he
flied in some other way. 1t WAS finally agreed
that the committee recommend to the Convention
that L. j. Northrup and George II. Williams. ex-
Attorrcy-General Of the United States. DO author
lied TO cast the vote of the two absent delegates.
Several other unimporan. cases were then taken
up in ORDER collectively occupying considerable
time, but none of them of especial Importance.
