CHICAGO, June 4.-This has been field day
for the respective boomers. The Blaine men are
ubilant and claim tonight $50 on the first ballot
This includes the votes of Ohio, Georgia, Ten
nessee, II from Kentucky, 6 from Virginia, the
solid vote of Arkansas, and the nearly solid vote
of the territories.
The Blaine men are loudly advocating the
ticket by Blaine and Logan, deciding that with it
they would sweep the country, but the advocates
of the proposed tail of the of the ticket do not
relish such talk and declare that if their fayorte
cannot have first place he will have none at all
A telegram was sent to Gen. Logan asking him
if he would consent to the use of his name as
proposed, and a reply was received that he would
not be candidate for vice president.
The Harrison boom is looking up some, and
he begins to be generally regarded as the legatee
of the Arthur -Edmunds strength in case of q
break. The latest rumor is that it is arranged to
give him 2S votes on the first ballot, as nucleus
for the solid vote of these factions when it is
discovered that their candidate cannot be nomi-
mated.
COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
The event of the evening was the unanimous
decision by the committee on credentials to rec
ommend that the Malone delegation be seated.
This decision was arrived at after protracted ses-
sion, which lasted until 80. Dezendorf pre-
sented his view of the case in a speech lasting
hreequayters of an hour, and at its close the
sentiment of the committee seemed strong in ia
vor of seating the straightouts, but was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Brady, of Virginia, who
for an hour held the close attention Of the con-
vention, supporting the Malone side. So strong
were his arguments that at the close the strong
est Blaine men were convinced of the justice of
seating the Malone delegation and there was not
a dissenting vote. The committee had previ
ously admitted the Arthur delegates from the
Seventh Alabama and First Georgia, also the
Logan delegates from the Second Illinois, the
! Blaine delegates from the Fifteenth Kentucky,
and had retained the sitting members of the
Fourth Maryland, Sixth New York and Twenty
first Pennsylvania. In the Nineteenth New
| York they divided the vote between the con
| testants.
| The committee adjourned until 80 a. m,
when they will complete their report.
| THE PLATFORM.
| The committee on resolutions held committee
meeting this evening, and decided to recommend
a strong civil service resolution, besides the
usual grist of minor resolutions. Considerable
| time was devoted to the consideration
of the tariff question, the sub-com
mittee having reported favorably
to ahigh protective tariff The majority of the
committee, however, were in favor of more
moderate tarif-a tariff for revenue with Incl
dental protection, and the resolution was recon-
mitted to the subcommittee to be SO modified
Another meeting will be held tomorrow morning
at O'Clock, aud the committee may possibly bt
ready to report at the morning session of thu
convention but from present appearances it will
be afternoon before they complete their report.
