The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1880-06-04

A Kentucky delegate arose and said
there were delegates from that state
who desired TO vote no; there were four
stalwarts who desired their votes re-
corded no. lApplanse and Kisses. ]
Because OF the delegates excited and
boisterous manner the chair ruled all
debate on anything else than the cor
rection OF the vote 10 be out OF order.
The chairman OF the Kentucky delega-
tion here arose and said he would then
give the names of the four. but just
then Conkling went up TO him and said
a word which led him to forego his pur-
pose and take his seat. Then the Ken
lucky disssnters stood up on their chairs
In the convention amid great applause.
The vote Of Kentucky was then record
ed as 20 ayes. 4 noes.

AYES 3ls, noes 4O6. So sharpe,s
amendment was rejected. (Tumultu-
Gus applause and cheers.)
The question recurring on the orig
inal motion, Brandage, Of Connecticut
said he rose in the interests OF order,
harmony and peace. He had voted
against the amendment just rejected,
but he thought there was fair under
standing In the committee on rules that
their report should not DO made until
after that OF the committee on creden-
tials. He moved to lay on the table
the pending motion, instructing the
latter committee to report with q view
to adjourning until tomorrow morning.
The motion to table was agreed to.
and the convention on motion of Net
calf, OF Illinois, adjourned at Gas until
tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock.
Grant Men Demoralixed.
Chicago, June 3.-The demoraliza-
tion Of the Grant men is generally con-
ceded this morning, but they still think
they can beat Blaine by going in body
to some dark horse. At present their
tendency seems to be TO Edmunds, but
this would tend to send the Sherman
and Washburne men TO Blaine, and Is
frought with peril to Conkling and his
forces. The Blaine men have certainly
won all the points in the issue thus far
In the preliminary proceedings. and
they continue very confident.
Grant I'm Gotham's View.
New York, June 3.-From what is
considered the best authority am able
to say that there is no hope for Grant
being nominated at Chicago. The only
chance Is to hold the Grant men for a
number Of ballots. with the idea that
others will go over to his side. There
is little doubt that Grant has the best
fighters to back him up, that is all.
Third Term Combination. sIs: 0ppo-
sition. 400.
Chicago, June 3.-Another day of
the convention, in which Blaine's
friends have indisputably won all the
points made, and have also attracted
the active sympathy Of the immense
audience by their manly bearing and
good temper, in the presence of Conk-
ling's Ill nature and unprovoked irony,
no less than by the good natured wit
with which the Maine man parried and
turned his intended-to-be crushing as
saults.
The vote on Sharpe's motion to in
struct the committee 10 report on con-
tested seats Immediately, was q fair
test of the combined present strength
Of Grant, Edmunds and Window COM
bination-it was just 31s votes.
When the report of the credentials
committee ha, been adopted, 1t will
reduce the foregoing figures below
800, as the probable Grant vote on the
first ballot.
The Blaine men continue as calmly
confident al they are resolute. They
appear to have n close understanding
with the Sherman men to act together,
probably with the agreement that II
Blaine's nomination shall ultimately
fail, considerable OF Blaine's vote, II
not all, will DO transferred to Sherman.
These are only surmises, based on
the cooperative action Of the two col
umns.

There are two daily papers in Next
Co. In spite Of that fact the Mexico
LEDGER gave the first and only re-
port of the Jefferson City Conven-
ton in a half column special. The
Mexico LEDGER spent more money
for telegraphing last week than both
the dailies will for an even hundred
years. They did not even have a re-
porter at the convention. We don't
believe in doing things by halves
If we run a newspaper we will give
the news. If we issued a daily we
would not wait for a weekly to come
out and then steal dispatches from
it. The LEDGER comes out but on e
a week, but it contains all the news
in good shape, as our thousand aud
more readers will attest. If ever the
Mexico LEDGER issues a daily We
will not give news a month old
already published in a weekly. Time
will prove what We al do in this
line,
