The Blind orator of Ohio
Names Mr.. Blaine.
THE GRAND STRUGGLE WITH BALLOTS TO
BEGIN THIS MORNING.
ESPECIAL TO THE srsr1sEL.l

CHICAGO, June 5.-The Committee Oh
Credentials concluded its labors at 2
O'Clock this morning and voted to admit
the Malone delegates from Virginia. In
the Fourth Maryland District, the sitting
members, r. W. Jordan and 81. W.
Rogers, both for Blaine, were seated; in
the Sixth New York, John j. O'Brien and
John 81. Brady were seated; in the Nine
tenth New York, James Lamaba and
Henry Hinck were seated; in the Twenty
first Pennsylvania, j. E. Sayers was ad-
mitted; in the Twenty-second Pennsyl-
vania, Charles Lamage and William Flynn
were admitted. The Tennessee contest
was held over for action this morning.
It is reported that the Blaine managers
have resolved to endeavor to break the
policy of delay heretofore pursued by the
Arthur and Edmunds managers n push
matters to a conclusion. While fighting
stoutly in committees, they will content
themselves with that and not invite resist
ance in open convention. This seems to
be their best plan. They also hope to de-
feat the Independents by inducing Arthur
men who are opposed to a dark horse to
come to light on some late ballot.
Col. N. A. Red, of the Centralia Sentinel,
said to q representative of the Associated
1 lCeo tAlb nSoi1iuS th1t " tAAo vain dDOut
Gen. She rman's not being q candidate is a
humbug. Col. L. NJ. Dayton of Cincin-
natl, who was the Generals friend and his
most confidential staff officer in this city,
and has been circulating extensively
among the members of the Loyal Legion,
of whom there are a great number in the
city. Col. Dayton said: 81 know that
Gen. Sherman has never penned any such
dispatch as it was rumored he bad done,
saying hat he would not serve as Presi-
Dent of the United States even though he
was nominated. The position is this:
Sherman has attained the highest honors
which can be bestowed upon any man by
the American people. He is aware of this.
On the contrary, John Sherman, while he
has had great honors bestowed upon him,
has seen honors beyond and above those
which he has enjoyed. As long as John
Sherman was in the field, or rather until
he had reached the fruition of his ambi-
ton, his brother, the General. would not
allow, even by implication, his name to be
presented, used or whispered. Now, il is
certain that John Sherman does not stand
the slightest show of being more than
mentioned in this convention. At this
~juncture the friends of Gen. Sherman are
in no way antagonizing the interests OF his
brother, John Sherman. When they say
that the American people see fit to honor
w. Tecumseh Sherman as a candidate for
nomination as President of the United
States, he will not decline the honor.
Now, mind" continued Col. Dayton,
"Gen. Sherman is not seeking the nomina-
ton. but his friends have been assured
that large number Of delegates
will support him in case 1t is known that
he would not Decline"
Training very hard, and in view OF the
possible Interruptions in our circuits, this
is to notify you that il the interruptions
are serious we shall cut down the report
sharply until the difficulty 10 remedied.
We shall endeavor to get through a brief
paragraph and bulletins. -0PERAToR.
CHICAGO, JUNE 5.-The convention was
called TO order at 1854 and opened with
prayer by Bishop Fallows Of the Reformed
Episcopal Church. Henry Ballard Of YER
mont, Chairman OF the Committee on
Credentials, reported that the sessions OF
the committee had been almost continuous,
leaving the members no time to rest. He
took pleasure in saying that the proceed
ings had been entirely harmonious and
without reference to personal preferences.
The result is g unanimous report, which
announcement was received with applause.
The report of the Committee on Creden-
tials was then read by Mr.. Fort OF New
Jersey. It was to the effect that the sit

are entitled to their seats except in the
Nineteenth District Of New York and the
Fifth Kentucky, where both delegates and
contestants are admitted to cast half votes
each. In the Virginia case, the committee
found unanimously that the delegation
headed by Malone was entitled to the
seats. The report was adopted without
discussion. Parks Of California, from the
Committee or Rules, reported substan-
TALLY the rules OF the last convention, ex-
cept that 1t recommended the adoption Of
Cushing's manual as the parliamentary
law Of the body instead Of rules Of the
House Of Representatives, except that the
previous question is to be in force as in
the House. Grow of Pennsylvania, from
the Minority Committee. offered a substi-
tIts soF the 10th rule. which prescribed
the mode Of electing delegates to the next
Republican Convention. He proposes that
