CHICAGO June 5-When the Convention met to-
night IL was in the certainty that the Presidential
hattie was to begin at last After repeated delays
and disappointnents it was known that the great
contest must be at last begun. There
was no business of Importance 10 intervene
before the Presidential nomination, and the vast
audience gathered in intense expectancy sure at
least of beholdlng a tournament If not decisive
battle. Senator ConklInR and General Garfield
made as usual their separate entrances. and were
received. as usual, with prolonged applause and
cheers. These demonstrations have grown to be
mart of every session. and they have seemed equally
genuine.
The first motion of the evening Yves one by Mr.
Hale of Maine that the roll of the States and Ter
f1tores be called to ascertain the names OF the new
National Committee. While this in progress,
the names of Senator Logan, William T. Frye, VIII
lam T.. Chandler and Senator Cameron. mem
hers of the new committee for their respective
States. were applauded. Senator Logan's name was
reported by Elliot Anthony, the leader Of the anti
Grant delegates from Illinois.
At five inmates before o'clock Mr.. Hale moved
sbot the roll be called for the nomination of Presi-
DENTAL candidates. General Logan raised the ques-
Aion whether under the rule of the Convention which
simply stated that speakers IN presenting the
names of candidate might speak ten miuutes'
nominations could be seconded or not. The chair
man ruled that there was no provision for second
ing nominations. A running talk on the subject
followed between Mr.. Hale. General Garfield and
the chairman. Mr.. ConRer solved the difficulty py
asking unanimous cOnsent-which was granted
that five minutes be allowed for the secoDdng OF
nomination Immediately after 1t had been maue'

On the roll-call both Illinois and Maine received
the summons IN silence. When Michigan was called

an excellent speaker of the practical sort, but his
speech must have been profound disappointment

the truth to say that Mr.. Joy did not hold
