were delegates from that state who
desired to vote "no"-there were four
stalwarts who desired their votes re-

cited and boisterous, the chair ruled
that all debate on anything else than
correction of vote would be out of
order.

then give the names of the four, but

It ried to visit the convention this morn
: ing.
e While interest in the convention an
q Its business continues intense, there
r a visible abatement of the excitenen
d this morning. At 1915 there wer
:, few delegates In their seats and tn
} galleries were not half full. Spects
n tors are, however, still pouring in, an
t as the weather is cloudy and cool ther
: Is no doubt that another hour will se
e the house crowded to its utmost capac
d ity. @
n Conkling, on entering the hall, wa
: received with burst of applause
n which seemed to indicate that tn
r Grant men were in possession of th
i galleries to-day.
J At 10:40 the galleries were uearl,
full. Garfield just entered and was re
: ceived with much applause.
: Chairman Hoar called the conven
t ton to order at 10 AS, and Rev. Arthu
8 Little, of the New England Congregs
tionsl church of Chicago, invoke
!, the throne of grace.
s Conkling rose to offer resolution i
= hope there would be no objection II
it. If there should be any oojectio
t he should ask the roll to be called
n The following Is the resolution:
o ReSol0ed, As the sense of this con
e vention every member of this conven
0 ton is. bound in honor to support it
: nominee whoever it might be, and tha
! no man should hold his seat here VIII
: is not ready to SO agree. [Cheers AM
g applause.
: Hale of Maine sa d they were unabl
J. to hear the resolution in his neighbol
e hood, and called for its reading again
/ and it was so read.
e Hale, mounting the chair, said b
e supposed the Republican party did no
! wish to be instructed, that its frs
: duty after naming its candidate was T.
| proceed to elect him over the Demo
cratic candidate. [Applause. Ths
5 they all had their preference and wer
G ardent IN the expression and urgenc,
} of their preferences, but he had yet t,
, hear, in the busy and exciting contes
: in which they had been engaged 70
} the last week, any expression on til
: part of any of the delegates to the con
} vention as to whoever they might b;
! for, or of dissent as to the final deter
J mination of the convention. Whei
delIveraace was had from all the labol

was no doubt that they should bs
bound hand in hand, shoulder Il
, shoulder, marching on to the election
! of their candidate. [Cheers. If the
candidate of the gentleman from New
York was nominated he (Hale) and hil
friends would work by night and BY
day to elect him, and in turn they
should expect that if they nominated
their man he (Conkling) would work
night and day for bis election.

who are against it.
