Third Day.

MINEEAPoLIs, June 9,--The convention gath
cred slowly this morning Al II o'clock perhaps
three. e.fourths OF the delegates were IN their
seats or in the asles, but the galleries we're not
half full.
Ithas been cold convention from the begin
ming and its coldness has never been more en-
phatic than this morning.
Chairman Mckinley came to his seat on the
platform few minutes before II o'clock to the
clapping OF perhaps u hundred hands, and there
was no demonstration at the entrance OF any
other OF the leaders
Even the spectacular ingalls, came down to
his seat accom- mpanied only by the clamor OF his
famous red necktie.
The band tried to infuse little life into the
meeting by playing tumultuous gallon but
with little success
There was the usual collection OF notables just
behind the chairman's platform. Senator Ca
rey and Senator Mcmillan sat side by side un'
der the gallery.
Assistant Postmaster General RathbonC
was in his accustomed place, and Chairman
Harry Bingham, OF Pennsylvania, sat in the
clerks seat
AT 1i:22 Chairman Mckinley, with number
OF sounding blows OF the new gavel, endeavoret
to call the convention TO order; but lit was some
minutes before the buzz OF conversation ceased
and the delegates took their seats and gave
their attention to business.
Rev. Mr.. Brush, ID. D., chancellor of the Uni
versity of South Dakota, delivered the opening
prayer. After the conclusion Of the prayer, the
chair said the regular order was the report OF
the committee on credentials.
Mr. Cogswell was recognized and snid. "ThC
committee on credentials is still in session. II
has been diligently at work and has achieved
reasonable success. II hopes TO be able TO re.
port tonight at o'clock, and asks further
time"
Gen. Scwell, OF New Jersey. was Immediately
on his feet Since no business could be done
until the committee was ready to report he
moved that the convention take recess until s
O'Clock.
After reading the resolution was referred 10
the committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Robert, of Illinois, presented q resolution
(also referred) providing that grand army men
be admitted TO standing room, and that If any
seats were vacant thirty minutes after the con-
vention was called to order they should be al
lowed to occupy them The resolution was re-
coived with applause.
The chairman then announced that the ques-
tion was on the motion to take recess. There
were cries OF "Nol" from all over The hall
coupled with cries Of "Ingallsl" but in the con-
fusion the chairman put the motion and de-
clared it carried
A New York delegate called for division
1t was evident as the ayes stood up that the
motion was carried. The clerk, however made
the count rGligiously. When the noes arose the
of the recess waved their arms to
call their friends TO their feet, but the effort
was useless. The chairman announced the vote
as i0T to 26O, and at II i5 declared that the con-
vention take n recess until o'clock tonight
