 Senator Cullom of Illinios arose to ques tion the regularity of this order of busi ness, but the convention, supposing he had arisen to place some one in nomina tion, complimented the distinguished Hi noisan with prolonged applause. The sen. ator was slightly embarrassed, but quick ly recovering stated that he arose to ques. tion the regularity of proceeding to nomi- hating speeches before the adoption of the report of the committees on credentials and resolutions.

 PLENTY OF RUMoRs.
 Among the rumors to-day was one to the effect that Massachusetts proposed to cast it's solid vote for ex-Speaker Reed and had so decided at its meeting this morning. The basis for the story was the fact that the delegation had met at 10 o'clock and Colonel Fairchild moved that in view of the delegstion's known leaning towards Reed complimentary vote be cast for that candidate. The Harrison as well as some of the Blaine people in the delega tion were opposed to any such movement and it was not even put to a vote. Gen. eral Otis says the delegation stands nine
 
 the Harrison men do not propose to allow their strength to be wasted in such man. ner Other similar rumors about other states are claimed to be for similar pur- pose and with an equal amount of basis in fact.
 SENTIMENT OF THE ILLINOIS DELEGATION.
 The sentiment of the Illinois delegation is very much mixed and it is hard to say how the vote of this state will be divided when ballot is finally reached. The Chicago Blaine club, about 800 strong, is here and has formally called upon Senator Cullom and the Illinois delegation and presented resolutions declaring the Illinois state convention instructed the delegates to the national convention to support the candidacy of President Harrison merely because it was then believed MT. Blaine's name would not come before the national convention; claiming that certain con- tingencies have arisen in Illinois which render it a supreme necessity to nominate for president man who will arouse the most intense enthusiasm of every republican voter and whose nomina- tion will make victory certain, asserting that reciprocity as an issue will command in connection with MT. Blaine's name the cutnuSldSiu Oi Uue ent1Te lepuDllcaQ party and likewise the support of thousands of voters who have heretofore been arrayed against the party, and calling upon the en- tire delegation from Illinois to heed the voice of the people in their almost unani- nous demand for the nomination of MT. Blaine as the republican candidate in the coming national contest.
 E'We feel that Blaine's nomination will elect a greater number of congressman in Illinois," said Hon. George Harmon, one of the club, indorsing the resolutions. ''This Is practical question, and we feel that conditions are such that We need every vote that we can get in our state."
 Senator Cullom in replying said he rec ognized that every American citizen had a right to speak and he would take pleasure in presenting the resolutions at to days meeting of the delegation.
 The delegation has been doing quiet caucusing. It is reported to stand: liar rison 23, Blaine 19 and absent.
