BY TeteRrapn 70 the Sent1nei.l
CHICAGO, June 4.--The excitement in
connection with the convention has mate
rally moderated, though the interest is
still intense. but it is less demonstrative.
While it is just possible that the balloting
may begin tonight, the prevailing impress
sion is that no nomination is possible be-
fore tomorrow, while many think the con-
vention will extend its proceedings into
next week. The delay is clearly the pur-
pose OF Grants supporters, while the Blaine
men are anxious to force fighting and bring
matters to an issue as soon "a possible.
The Grant leaders and journals charge thai
Garfield is working entirely in the Blaine
mems interests, and intimate that the lat
ter are holding him in reserve for advance
ment should Blaine fail Of the nomination.
The more probable surmise is that Garfield
is only leading the Sherman movement in
cooperation with Blaine's friends |; but if
Blaine should win, the second place, it is
thought by shrewd observers, to lie be-
tween Garfield and Washburne. But all is
uncertain, and new combinations may de-
velop at any hour. Blaine's friends, how
ever, still say they feel sure he will lead
Grant on the first ballot, and far exceed his
vote on the second. II they have any spe-
cial facts as the basis for their apparently
earnest conviction that Blaine is sure of
success, they are too prudent to disclose
them in such . manner that they can be-
come public.
There was much indignation this morn
ing in the Pacific Coast delegation on learn
ing that Chairman Pierrepont, Of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, had gone back on
his agreement to accept the plank on the
Chinese question, which they had prepared
and accepted, and substituted one of con-
siderably less force. The modified plat
form is said to contain a clAnss allowing
the Chinese to vote, and contains none re-
stricting unlimited Chinese immigration.
The convention was called to order at
10:45 A. M. Mr.. Conkling moved that all
members OF this convention bind them
| selves to support the nominees of the con-
| vention. The motion was carried. Mr..
| Conkling said there were negative votes on
the resolution. and asked for a call Of the
| States. The roll Of States was ordered 10
be called, and resulted in favor of the
resolution, West Virginia casting three
votes in the negative-the only ones in the
negative. The vote was received with Kisses.
Mr.. Conkling moved that the delegates
who voted 'no" should be considered as
having forfeited their right to vote in the
Convention. This was extensively dis
cussed. Mr.. Conkling asked for the call
of the roll. A delegate from Connecticut
moved the motion be laid on the table,
whereupon Mr.. Conkling withdrew his
motion.
At l1:50 the Committee on Credentials
was instructed to report, but sent word il
would not be ready to do so for half an
hour. The Committee on Rules and Order
OF Business reported in favor Of the rules
Of the House Of Representatives govern.
ing the Convention. and hal speeches be
limited to five minutes.
The Committee on Platform reported q
resolution to denounce polygamy; oppose
Chinese immigration. and suggest the Con.
gressional modification Of existing treaties
to remedy the evil; commend Hayes ad-
ministration, and hold it to be the duty OF
the Republican party to harmonize the
whole country.
At / o'clock the Committee on Creden-
tials submitted its report. 1t recommends
the admission Of delegates headed by Mr..
Yarmouth, Of Louisiana; recommends the
admission Of Rapier. Of Alabama, who re-
fused to obey the instructions Of the Con-
vention Of that State, that the vote should
be cast as q unit; recommends that the
contestants from the Seventh district OF
Alabama be admitted; recommends the
admission Of contestants from the First,
Third. Fourth, Fifth, sixth, Ninth, Tenth

stntation, instead OF by States as q whole;
reports against contestants In the Ninth
and Nineteenth districts Of Pennsylvania;
recommends that delegates from Utah
retain their seats. A minority report was
presented. 1t declares against the prin-
ciple Of district representation in National
Conventions, and protests against the de-
cision Of the majority in its report on the
contest in Illinois, and against the con-
testants from Alabama. Thu minority re-
port is very long. and the reading Of Il was
not concluded until 5:45 r. N. The mi
nority also submitted q supplementary re-
port protesting against the action Of the
majority in the cases Of Utah and West
Virginia.
The Convention agreed to take up the
report Of the Committee on Credentials in
sections; that part in which there Is no dis
pute was agreed to. A protest having been
| put in against the four delegates at large Of
Illinois, to the Committee on Credentials,
| they set it aside. Sharp, Of New York,
moved that reference to it In the report be
| stricken out. A motion. after much sharp
debate on the part OF Logan, Sharp, Hay
| ward and others, which at times assumed
Q personal form, was carried. Clayton. Of
Arkansas, moved that the minority report
on Alabama be accepted. in place Of the
majority report. Before action could be
taken q motion to adjourn till 7 o'clock
this evening was carried.
Among the spectators on the front plat
| form at the Convention ta-day, was Qneen

accompanied by his friends, H. Collins.
