on resolutions, was successful in his ef.
forts 10 secure the insertion of an anti
Chinese plank in the platform, being
prepared by the committee OF the con-
vention, He had strong opposition in
two or three members from the extreme
east, but the committee, on n vote, re-
ferred the matter TO n subcommittee,
with instructions TO report back to the
whole committee n plank In substance
the same as offered to the committee by
Judge Payne.

excellent argument before the COM

will second the nomination, and FRYE.

close.

Committees In Session.
Chicago, June 3.-The committee on
credentials up to 10 o'clock tonight
have decided forty-seven contests, in
twenty of which they favor Grant men,
admitting twenty-seven adherents of
other candidates.
The platform committee are under
stood to be revising their resolutions
tonight, and 1t is hoped that the anti
Chinese plank will be put in a more
specific definite form than that agreed
upon to-day.
The committee on credentials have
been in almost continuous session to.
day, and are still sitting at midnight.
The contestants from the Eighth district
Of Illinois are TO be admitted by the
majority report, the Grant delegates
are to be declared entitled to seats, and
the Thirteenth district was not fully
settled. The Warmoth, or regular del
egation from Louisiana, which Is about
evenly divided between Sherman and
Grant, is considered by the committee
as the delegation entitled to seats.
The committee decided to report in
favor Of the admission Of two Blaine
delegates from one Of the contested dis.
tricts in Pennsylvania and in favor of
the two sitting Grant delegates from
the other contested district. They are
now In session on the West Virginia
case, and the prospects are that they
will not adjourn for some hours. The
Utah case remains TO be settled. Four
Grant delegates have been admitted
from Kansas. No other committee
have taken important action, but 1t Is
understood they have agreed on a re-
port.

took no action on any important ques-

Logan, Conkling, Cameron, New and
Filley had conference this evening, but
its import is not known.
Both the Blaine and Grant men ap-
pear unusually confident tonight, and
the friends Of the other candidates are
in nowise despondent.
Gossip regarding combinations is un-
usually scarce. and many of the del
egates sought early repose to prepare
for the session tomorrow, which Is
expected to be the most momentous of
the convention.
The general belief now is that the
convention will not conclude its labors
before Saturday.
The Grant men claim that the New
