lsrscAL BY TELEGRAPH TO TIE REcoRD-UMoNl
CHICAGO, june 4th.-While the interest in
the Convention and its business continues in
tense, there is visible abatement of the ex-
element this morning At quarter past
ten there are few delegates in their seats, and
the galleries are not filed. Spectators, how
ever, are still pouring in, and as the weather
is cloudy and cool, there is no doubt that
another hour will see the house crammed to
its utmost capacity.
ROYAL VISITOR.
Among the spectators in front of the plat
form is Queen Victoria's youngest son, Prince
Leopold, accompanied by his friends. The
Princess is at the Grand Pacific with her
suite, but is too wearied to visit the Conven-
ton this morning.
CoNKLING AND GARFIELD.
Conkling on entering the hall was received
with burst OF applause, which seemed to
indicate that the Grant man are in possession
Of the galleries to-day.
At 10:40 the galleries are nearly full.
At this time Garfield entered and was re
ceived with much applause.
CALLED TO ORDER.
Chairman Hoar called the Convention to
order at 1915, and Rev. Arthur Little of the
New England Congregational Church of Chi
cago, invoked the throne of grace.
RAsoLUTIoE-A SLIGHT BREEZE.
Conkling rose to offer resolution. and
hoped there would be no objection to it. If
there should be any objection he should ask
the roll to be called. The resolution was as
follows:
Resolasd as the sense of this Convention,
That every member of il is bound in honor to
support its nominee, whoever that nominee
may be- and that no man should hold his seat
here who is not ready to 50 agree. lCheefs
and applause,
Hale of Maine said they were unable to
hear the resolution in his neighborhood, and
called for its reading again, and it was so
read
Hale said he supposed that Republican

that its frst duty after naming its candidate
was to proceed to elect him over the Demo
cratic candidate. lApplause They all had
their preferences, and were ardent with the
expression and urgency of their preferences,
but he had yet failed to hear in the busy and
exciting contests in which they had been en-
gagged for the last week. any expression on the
part of any delegates to the Convention
(whoever they might be for) of dissent as to the
final determination OF the Convention. When
deliverance was had from all the labor Of
the Convention, he had no doubt that they
should all be found hand in hand, shoulder to
shoulder, marching on to the election Of their
candidate. [Cheers.l If the candidate of
the gentleman from New York were nomi-
mated, he tHale) and his friends would work
by night and by day TO elect him, and in turn

their candidate, he lConklingl would work
night and day to elect him. lCheerp.l

could not come here to express his free opin-
