INTERESTING But UNIHIpoRTANT PROCEEDINGS.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 4.-The convention was
in session to-day. from half-past ten
to after 4 o'clock. The session can be
styled as interesting, but unimportant.
Conkling opened the ball On offering resolu
tiOns pledging each member to support the
nominee whoever he might be. A call of
states was ordered on the resolution, and it was
passed with but three negative votes, these
being given by delegates from West Virginia.
This was quite point for Oonkling.
Fol week past the Blaine delegates have
been foaming about the hotels, declaring they
would not support Grant if he was nominated
The Grant men have maintained party disci-
pline by constantly declaring that they were
prepared TO stand by the nominee of the con-
ventiOn. The chair first put Conklings motion
viva voce, and though no negative votes were
heard the affirmative votes were not loud and
hearty. Conkling then asked to have the roll
called, and there were numerous shouts of
mo, mo" The men who had been
THREATENING TO. BOLT
their words. The roll was called, however, and
none dared to announce themselves as boilers
except three from West Virginia. Conkline
followed up his first point by offering a seconC
resolution declaring that those who voted in the
negative did not deserve seats in the conven
tion. This brought the boilers to thei
feet, each one protesting that he intended t.
support the nominee and protesting The mos
stalwart Republicanism. Still the feeling o.
the convention was against them, and severa
delegates advocated COnkling's resolution
Gen. Garfield finally took the Aoor and turned
the tide. He said those men had declared they
would support the nominee, and objected t.
the form and tone of the resolution. He urged
Conkliug to withdraw it. This idea seemed t.
take with the convention. Conkling said b.
didn't understand that he had made any sucl
point, but rather than run any risk and do an!
injustice he would withdraw the motion.
CREDENTIALS.
The majority and minority reports of tn
committee on recess were ready for presenta
tiOn, and, after an informR
recess of half an hour, the length,
majority and minority reports of the committe
on credentials were read. These report
showed ak contests upon which the cOmmitte
could not agree. They were from Alabama
Illinois, Kansas, Pennsylvania, West Virgini
and Michigan. Logan objected to the repor
which alluded to the contest in the nlinoi
delegates at large, declaring that there hat
been no contest and il should not be so re
corded. sharp tilt occurred between Logal
and California delegate which grew quit
personal. After debate of an hour the repor
was amended and the Illinois delegates at larg
were not alluded to as contested. The uncou
tested portion of the report was tnen adopte
and the convention took recess until 2 p. M.

Mr.. Lincoln, on the third bsllor, received
within two and half votes of the number
necessary to nominate him. Mr. David X.
Carter, of Ohio, before the result was an
nounoed, rose to change four votes from
Chase to Lincoln, giving the latter clear ma
Jorlty. Andrews, of Massachusetts, followed,
changing from Seward to Lincoln, as did B.
Gratz Brown, of Missouri, changing from
Bates to Lincoln, until Lincoln had 354 out of
460 votes, and was declared duly nominated.
MIR. Lincoln was placed in nomination by the
late Hon. Norman B. judd of Chicago, chair
mal of the Illinois delegation, and who be-
came United States minister to Prussia.

THE ILLINOIS CASE.
GREAT EFFORT BY LOGAN.

GREAT EFFORT BY LOGAN.
/ CHICAGO June 4, 80 A. M.-After debate of
an hour it has just been decided to spend two
hours in debating the Illinois contested seats.
During the debate on the length of time to be
allowed Logan made a powerful speech in
which he went into the merits of the case. He
told the convention that if they wanted to de-
feat the old soldiers they could do SO, bat they
should not do 30 by any tricks. He said the
old soldiers had come to stay. When he al
lnGed to Grant as the old soldier, there was q
Yild scene, the applause being
loud and long continued. Men and women
rose to their feet, waved their hats and hand
kerchiefs and shouted like mad. delegate
from California. in replying to q question by
Mr.. Logan, said California instructed her dele
gates to vote first, last and all the time for
JAMES G. BLAINE.
Then followed the widest scene of all. jim
Roots claquers in the galleries got in their
work splendidly aud large number of dele
gates joined. For fully five minutes the ap-
plause wss continued. Old men and young
howled and danced as though the
DEVIL WAS AFTER TKRM
with hot poker. There was no Disgusting
the fact that the immense hall is packed with
Blaine men for purpOse. But however that
may be, it was worth trip from st. Paul to
Chicago to witness that five minutes scene.
Debate is now in progress on the merits of the
Illinois case. All the talk made will not
change the result. Onc-half OF the convention
has
GONE OUT TO TAKE DRINK,
and Conger is talking to comparatively empty
seats. The debate is mere farce. Every del
egate will vote according to his presidential
prediction. Regardless of facts or
justice. The eighteen contestants
will be admitted because they are
anti-Grant and the decision will be one of the
greatest Outrages ever perpertated in politi-
cal body. II. p. Il.

The Leaders
IChicago Times.

Contrast in the leaders. The correspondent
of the New York Sun notes. "ConkIing ap-
peared in the spacious corridor adjoining the
ladies' parlor, leaned his elbow upon the rich
marble mantel, swung his white, round topped
hat behind his back, and had a long, earnest
conversation with General John A. Logan
The contrast between the two imperialist lead
ers is striking. One is elegant, refined, and
with the mustache and air of buccaueer of
the Spanish main. General Logan carried
tousled beaver, and wore ministerial black Mr.
Conkling was attired in a grey business suit"
But for the business in hand, Logan, though
he be squatty and swarthy, is bigger man
than old Cenkling. He makes no mistakes.
With him, business is business.

lttack on Faithful officer by Bunglmg
Reporter

Reporter.
Failing in their efforts to catch on to live
local news night before last, the stupid rousta-
bouts of the Pioneer Press tried to manufac-
ture an item, and as usual they put their foot
in it. Late Thursday night drunken pedes-
trian banged in one of the windows at Cooks
saloon, corner of Fourth and Jackson street.
The man was taken in charge and brought to
Officer Cook, who was patrolling his beat. The
affair was explained and Officer Cook suggested
that he pay for the glass to avoid further
trouble. The party entered Scotcs restaurant,
where the offender counted out the cost of the
glass (S1.50), after which $l6 remained. As
the man was exceedingly drunk, Officer Cook
suggested that the proprietor take it in charge
until morning, which the owner agreed to, and
it was put in the safe. The Pioneer Press
blunderer thought he saw chance for scoop,
ana in a windy account intimatsd that Officer
Cook had made SIG. he wrote the thing mp -
if it was a shooting scrape, and that the latter
had accepted the bribe as hush money. The
mistake was discovered yesterday morning
however, when an exclusive account OF the
shooting match appeared IN this paper. Officer
Cook is after that reporter with long gad, but
no doubt the Pioneer Press will square itself
this morning by the usual apology.
