upon soldier no matter whom he may favor for President" Senator Logan's motion was adopted without one dissenting voice. It was then 2:55 p. m. and the Chair announced that the committes on permanent organiza- ton, resolutions, rules and order of business were requested to meet at once at the back of the stage When the hustle and confusion consequent upon the retirement of the mem-
 bers of the committees had partially subsi- ded, Senator Conkling. who had for some moments been eudeavoring to attract the at tention of the Chair, was recognized and said:
 ''Mr. Chairman, there are now four commit tees of the convention withdrawn to com menee their labors. It is possible that one or two of these committees might be able to report in season for an evening session, but there is anothreone or two which cannot be able to report before tomorrow morning, and un- til reports are received from these commit tees, especially the committees on ere dentials and contested seats, virtually no business can proceed in the convention. Therefore at the suggestion of number of delegates, as well as in accordance with my own impressions, suggest that your con- venience would be answered and probably we should conclude our labors as soon, were we now to adjourn to convenient hour in the morning. l move that this convention do now adjourn to meet tomorrow morning at II a. m. After MT. Hale, of Maine, had endorsed his remarks, the motion was carried without dissent and the convention adjourn ed.
 The committee on rules and order of busi- ness organized with Senator Garfield as chair man and General T.. w. Chase, of Rhode Island, secretary It was resolved that a subcommittee of seven be appointed to pre- pare rules and order of business for the con- vention and report to the meeting of the full convention tomorrow. This subcommittee which considers the unit rule question, stands one each for Grant, Blaine, Sherman, Win dom and EdmundS, one non-committal, and the ex-officio member Sherman man. This is to ? against Grant, giving Grant the member whose position is unknown
 The committee on permanent organization chose Henry w. Pierson of New York chair man, L. T. Downs of Maine secretary. A recess was taken until D. m-. On reassem- bling of the committee the roll was called and Mir. Watkins of Michigan nominated George F. Hoar for permanent chairman of the con- vention. Morris Hutchings of Kentucky nominated ex-Postmaster General John R. Cresswell of Maryland. Both names were surprises It was understood in the morning that W. E. Chandler would get the perma- nent chairmanship. The slate failed from feeling that if given to him the Grant men might nominate an independent candidate and make trouble in the convention. Speeches of more or less personal character were DOSAi HOsS ASS~AeS~ follows: For Hoar, Alabama Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas Maine, Maryland, Massachu- sets, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Mon tana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina Tennessee, Vermont, Utah, Washington West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming; total 31. For Cresswell, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Hi nois Kentucky. Missouri, New York, Texas and Virginia total g. The Pennsylvania delegate was absent and Louisiana and several territories were not tion of Hoar was then made unanimous. A resolution was passed that each State nomi- nate one vice president and two secretaries for the perfection of the permanent organiza- tion. The two secretaries and two assistant secretaries of the temporary organization hold over. George M. Buchanan, of Mississippi, was made third secretary to give the South better representation. The committee then adjourned. Mir. Hoar is understood to pre- fer Edmunds, but votes with his delegation for Sherman. Cresswen represents the stal- wart Grant interests. The vote in committee is regarded by some as indicating anti Grant strength in the convention The remarkable thing is that neither Maryland or Delaware, Cresswelrs own State voted for him, and several Southern States claimed solid for Grant voted against him. MT. Conkling said in conversation with friends tonight that he counts certainly on 40 votes on the first bal lot for Grant.
 11:3O p. mt is reported that the com mittee on credentials, by vote of B to 12, have decided in favor of the admission of the FarweH Hall delegates from Chicago, Cook county.
 The committee on resolutions met this evening with Edwards Pierrepont in the chair. The door was barred against non- members. The plan adopted was to devote the evening to free discussion and appoint a subcommittee to draft platform in accor- dance with the prevailing sentiments The proposal of the delegates of the Pacific coast to have inserted plank opposing Chinese immigration and favoring the abrogation of the treaty provoked a warm discussion. Susan B. Anthony was allowed ten minutes to present arguments for the adoption of a plank proposed by the woman snffragist con vention, declaring woman's right to the bal lot. skirmish in the convention, in which Conklihg and Frye locked horns, awakened excitement.
 The subcommittee of seven of the commit tee on rules held very lengthy and excited meeting tonight, MT. Garfield presiding. The work went on very smoothly, the rules of the convention of four years ago being adopt ed with unimportant corrections, until the last rule was reached. This one defines the manner of voting. General Sharpe; of New York, who is in favor of the unit rule, held that the old rule was sufficient for the de- mands of the anti-unit men and ought to be retained in its present shape. The expressions of the committee show them to be 5 to in favor of explicitly defningtthe right of every individual delegate to vote he chooses. The will undoubtedly report to the full committee tomorrow morning.
