 CHICAGO, June 20.-The convention was called to order at 8:20 this evening. The auditorium was uncomfortably crowded and the air was stifing.

The band in the gallery then began to play and during the music Colonel Fred Grant and his wife, accompanied by Mrs. Potter Pal- mer, entered the convention and walking through one of the aisles stepped upon the the stand assigned to them. The convention at once recognized Colonel Grant and cheered. The chairman again called upon the commit tee on credentials and again was disappoint- ed He then called upon the committee on resolutions, but Mr. Harris, of North Caro- lima, stated that that committee was not ready to report and would not be before toa morrow Then the committee having noth- ing to do called upon Bradley" and in the chairman presented w.

 Again the chairman called upon the com mittee on credentials for report and MT. Henderson stated that he had just received that the committee would be ready to report in twenty minutes. MT. Hallowell, of Kansas, amid the most enthu- siastic outburst of enthusiasm that has yet been seen in the convention moved that Gov ernor Foraker of Ohio, be asked to address the convention. The motion was agreed to and Governor Foraker was introduced and was received with volley of cheers. He said he could not be insensible to the com plinnent if he would, and he would not if be could. While he thanked the convention for the honor con- have preferred if he had not been called up- on. The question had been asked-What are we here for. 1aughter.) Republicans were here to formulate Republican principles, they were here to nominate the next President of the United States (spplause): The first was easy to do. Every school boy knew what the declarations of the convention would be. Every Democrat as we'll as Republican knew what the attitude of the Republican party was with respect to the question which con- cerned the American people. Republican ism is sincerity, and sincerity never eqfvo cates. We believe in, 6 free ballot and fair count and we will not hesitate to say it. We believe in 6 protective tariff and that the present Democratic administration is fraud and pretence. We want change and are determined to have it. We believe Cleyeland's free trade message is fraught with danger. We want to take care of American labor, American homes and Amer ican industry. Then we will nominate our candidate. do not know who he will be.
 A voice in the gallery-Gresham. (Cheers.)
 Governor Foraker continned-I do not know what his name is.
 A voice-Foraker.
 But can say he will be gentleman. {Cheers.) That is saying great deal in view of recent experience. (Here broke in Tender inee would not go fishing on Decoration day. Continuing, he said that the nominee would be a man of good moral character and would have some social standing. He would be man to cherish patriotic recollections and would have 8 record as Republican that would be without blenaish. He would take the Republican standard in his hand and carry it to victory without explanation apology to anybody, and when elected it would be his highest business to give the country Republican administration. He would not do it by false pretenees. He would go straight at the mark. We can catch up the glorious refrain that comes from Oregon and carry it over the whole country with magnificent triumph which will knock Gro yer Cleveland and old bandanna into 'sinnoc- uous desuetude." loud and long continued applause and cheers.
 Mr Fuller, of North Carolina, moved that Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll be asked to make an address, but the committee on credentials being ready to report the regular order of business was proceeded with.
