THE UNIT RULE.
| CHICAGO, June 3.-The7 committee on
rules last night adopted the rules Of the
Cincinnati convention Of 1876 with three
exceptions. First, changing order of
business; second, doing away with the
unit rule and allowing individuals to vote
as they please; third, on the national
committee the Territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia are not allowed repre-
sentaton. The committee on credentials
heard arguments of Messrs. Storrs and r
G.. Inoersol on the Illinois contest, and
adjourned to II this morning, without
action. 1t admitted the two contesting
Alabama delegates. This morning the
committee on credential referred the Ill
inois case to a subcommittee Of five, con-
s1sting of Chandler Of New Hampshire,
Strout of Maine, Botman of Ohio, Tracy
of New York and Clayton of Arkansas,
who decided in favor of eighteen contest
ing delegates. The committee on rules
decided in favor Of a five minutes debate.
This is considered
HOSTILE TO GRANT.
Convention met at II A NJ, Hoar
being in the chair; he was decided upon
last night as the permanent Chairman.
Inccrsoll will present the claims Of Him
ois delegates in convention, there being
delay in proceedings because the COM
mittees are not ready. Conklng moved
that the convention adjourn-take a recess
till 6 P. NJ. Hale made point Of order
that motion was debatable; Chairman sus.
tanned the question now being debated.
Hale in speech holds that convention must
remain in state of suspended animation
till the committees are ready to report
Conkling followed Hale, claiming it
would facilitate the business of the con-
vention by taking the recess, and said it
was not in order, to prevent the committee
on credentials reporting. Conklings mo-
ton to take recess was lost. Joy of Mich.
offered resolution that
CONTESTENTS FROM ILLINOIS
be heard in convention by counsel; a mo-
ton to lay it on table was lost and the roll
of states, on joys motion, was ordered:
Joy has withdrawn his resolution. Com
mttee on permanent organization report
ed name of Geo. F. Hoar for permanent
Chairman.
DIPLOMACY.
CHICAGO. June 3, 2 2. M.-The commit
tee on organization made report, and its
chairman, Pearson, introduced Senator
Howe again, who complimented the con-
venton on It's wise disposition Of prelimi-
naries. In opening speeches Frye called
for the report Of the committee on rules,
but Sharp stated that he wished to pre-
sent the minority report, which they had
not had time to prepare, and it was agreed
no action should be taken until the minor
ity were ready. Frye objected. Genl.
Garfield, chairman Of this committee, was
correct. When Garfield rose he was
warmly applauded, and he refused to take
the platform He had no vote taken in
the committee, but the committee would
not report, but await the desire of the
convention. Frye then withdrew his mo-
ton and moved to
ADJOURN UNTIL FIVE P. n.
Quite an interesting episode occurred
here. Conkling rose and said he congrat-
ulated the gentlemen Of Maine on the
amount Of important business which the
convention has done since his [Conkling's
motion to adjourn had been lost. Great
cheering1 FRYE returned the thanks of
the Maine delegates for kindly congratu-
lations and hoped he would be able to do
similar courtesy when the convention had
finished work. Applause and waving of
hats Fryc's motion was then put and
carried.
