ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS.

THE FARwELL HALL DELEGATION SUBMIT.
SPRINGFIELD, May 20.-The committee or
credentials met at $50 and resumed consid
Grafton of The Cook county contest. Kirh
Howes presented written statement of the
position of the Farwell hall delegates relative
to the pledge required by the convention to
abide by its decision. 1t said:
"The delegates from the county of Cook
from the regular convention held at Farwel
hall, denying for themselves and their con.
stituents any lawful power in the convention
or in this committee, to impose upon any
contestant any conditions whatever prece-
dent to rendering justice according TO Law
and equity as well, do hereby submit under
protest to the resolution as we understand II
of the unorsanized convention in which ws
were not permitted to take part
as the only means left to prevent
the threatened disfranchisement of the Re-
publican party of Cook county, and the
probable loss of the State to the Republican
candidates. 1t is but fair for me to add il
might perhaps be questioned as to the
words in the resolution, Gas we understand
It," is meant. At meeting held at Chicago
prior to coming here, it was voted without
dissenting voice that inasmuch as we were
regularly elected delegates, in our judg-
ment We would stand together or fall to-
gether-ninety-two OF US to go into the con-
vention or remain out. / don't state this
to the conventions; don't wish it stated to
| the convention as a threat, but simply as
an explanation of our position
We simply passed it upon the ground Of
| right, without any reference to any impress
sion it may make upon your minds in any
other direction. That resolution in another
form has been passed twice since that time
or resolution which has embodied the one
passed at Chicago. By appearing there as we
do, and according to the terms imposed upor
US, we wish it distinctly understood that il
you shall be pleased to seat portion of this
delegation and shall reject portion, it i:
left entirely to our option whether that por
ton will go into the convention or stay out
We may rescind that resolution and We
may not. We expect, however, tina
we ehall stand together, as we En
derstand it now. OF course, if yor
reject US all, then there is no difficulty. Al
you can ask under this resolution is this
We don't intend to create any disturbance
as has been circulated here, but simply in
tend to act like men, and members of The
Republican party, and do what our constitu
tents require US to do.
The committee then excluded all outsiders
reporters included, to consider the sufficiency
of this response. On reassembling the
chair announced that the committee woulc
be unable to report before o'clock, and the
convention took recess till IL o'clock.
The committee on credentials decided by
a vote of eleven to six that the statement OF
the Farwell hall delegation was sufficient
and one hour was allowed each side to pre-
sent evidence and aguments, which concludes
at O'Clock. The committee are now in
secret session.

Three Reports.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 20.-At 3:46 the
committee on credentials appeared and SUBJ
mitted their reports, which were read
The first report recites that there were du-
plicate credentials from Cook county owing
to two conventions having met and sent del
egates. They find that the State central
committee did not call upon the Republicans
of Cook county to send delegates, but called
upon the Republicans of the first seven SEN
atorial districts composing that county, to
send delegates. Each of these sem
atorial districts is Independent and distinct
from any other Republican organization in
Cook county for all purposes of representa-
tion in this convention, having the action of
the ward primaries before them. It was
easier to determine on what is substantial
justice towards the interests involved.

THE DELIVERY MADE.


SPRINGFIELD, May 20.-The convention
reassembled at $50. ]. G. Shave, of Jo
Daveiss, offered the following:
Reso1yed. That General o. s. Grant, of H.
linois, il the choice of this convention for
President of the United States.
A motion was made to substitute E. B..
Washburne. Also, a motion to refer to the
committee on resolutions. Shave moved
to table this, which was done by viva voce
vote. Amidst general confusion the motion
to substitute Washburne's name was
then put Immediately by tho
chair and lost The original
resolution put and carried by q viva voce
vote. A roll call was demanded by the anti
Grant men, and the point was made that
tabling the motion to refer, tabled the entire
subject. The chair overruled this. The roll
call resulted, ayes 386, nays 307, and the re-
solution was declared adopted. The an
nouncement of the result occasioned great
applause lasting several minutes, hundreds
of delegates rising and cheering

Mr.. Crosby, of Du Page, moved the vari-
Gus Congressional district delegates and
alternates to the national convention be de-
clared the choice of this convention, which
would have resulted in the choire of Blaine
delegates in several districts.
Senator Logan opposed this motion in a
speech of considerable length, in which he
advocated the right of the majority of the
convention to send to Chicago a
solid delegation instructed for
Grant. He cited precedents to show
that Illinois conventions had always in
strocted its delegates to vote as unit. The
majority of the convention desired to nomi-
nate Grant and had a right to send
as delegates men who would earnestly sup
port the men of their choice. They could
not expect to secure Grants nomination By
sending any delegates opposed to his nomi-
nation. He favored Grant because he be-
lieved he could and would be elected, and
declared that with ~ solid votes from Hin lis
Grant had enough votes to nominate him on
the first ballot. The anti Grant men oc-
casionally interrupted the Senator with ques-
tions, and each side expressed their approval
or disapproval of his remarks.
| The debate was continued at considerable
length, Senator Logan speaking several
times.
@. w. Thomas Of st. Claire made strong
speech. He claimed the call of the national
committee, invited each congressional dis
trict to send two delegates to Chicago. His
district had chosen delegates who had their
credentials in their pockets and proposed to
go to Chicago and assert their rights. He
! wished to amend Logan's motion, so the con-

voted McNair. 4 Wilson.
McNair was then called for, and soon ap.
peared. He returned thanks for the honor.
He regretted there had been a misunderstand-
ing in the Hennepin delegation, but did not
think 1t would be remembered beyond to-day.
He would have cheerfully ecquiesced if he had
been defeated, and thought mutual explana-
tion might have wiped out all difficulties.
Loud calls for Wilson brought that gentle
man TO the front. He said he allowed his
name to be used when the majority was EVIL

had directed it. He was entirely satisfied with
the reelection of MIR. McNair. In reply to Mr..

GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION:
thank you sincerely for the honor so gen.
erously and unanimously conferred upon me.
Ii understand the temper and toGe of this
convention, it is that your delegates shall at
tend the National convention at Cincinnati,
unpledged to the support of any man. And
after advising and conferring with delegates
from other states, they shall use their best
judgment and discretion, with view to act
in harmony with the majority of that body.
In regard to preferences, simply wish to
say that whatever my personal feelings may
be in this matter they shall be entirely sacri-
feed and ignored, and my vote shall be cast
for that candidate who seems to be the most
| available and acceptable to the Democracy of
the United States-East, West, North and
South. (Applause.)
Holding these views hope to go to Gin
cinnati as member of a delegation that Is
free to act as the emergencies of the hour de-
mand.
The Democratic party has many men in its
ranks who can lead us TO a complete and
sweeping victory, and it will be an everlasting
honor to every member Of the Minnesota del.
nomination that will be ratified and endorsed
by the people at large next November. (Great
Applause)
Gentlemen of the convention, again thank
you for the kindness and consideration shown
me at this meeting, and pledge you my best
efforts in behalf of our party during the CON-

SPRINGFIELD, May 20.-The convention
met at o'clock and waited until after be-

State Senator Fuller, of Boone, offered a
resolution providing for giving credentials
to delegates to the National convention
elected by the district conventions. Senator
Logan objected to the resolution as prema
ture and Fuller withdrew it. Logan then
offered the following:
Resolred, That debate be limited to thirty
minutes on side on the question of the Cook
county contest, and that no motion to adjourn,
or other dilatory motion, shall be considered
until that question is decided, and that each
delegation may select one person from their
delegation if they choose to present their case
10 the convention.
The roll of counties was called on the
adoption of the resolution with but little
debate, resulting; ayes s8S, nayes 212.
The point of order was made that this
resolution required two-thirds vote, as il
suspended the parliamentary rule that a
motion to adjourn is always in order. The
chair overruled this on the ground that the
convention was only temporarily organized
and had not adopted rules of order.

Frozen Earth i'm Siberia.
TNatlfrp1

Professor Nordensjold investigated the
formation of the strata of frozen earth
several hundred feet thick which occur
in Siberia as in Polar America. Along
the coast of Siberia there is q stratum a
water resting on the bottom of the sea,
which is several degrees below the freez-
ing point, so that flask Of the compara-
lively fresh surface water, when sunk
into this stratum, begins TO freeze. Stux-
berg observed that the trawl-net often
froze fast to the b0ttom. '1 ""'>
This was accounted for by the freezing
of the fresh water which the net carried
down with it from the surface. Nor
denskjold thinks that the mud carried
down by the rivers into the sea, as it
sinks to the bottom, carries with it fresh
water .adhering to the minute particles,
and that this fresh water, like that car
ried down by the net, freezes at the bot
tom, forming thus a frozen stratum,
which increases year by year until it
reaches an enormous thickness. He is of
the opinion that a portion Of the earthly
layers Of Siberia was formed in this way.
although, he adds, he by no means con,
siders this the only way in which such
formations arose. .,.r....s,-a,rs.s
