Minneapolis. June O-hAe session of the con-
vention this morning was as brief and inconcll-
sive as it we'll could be, the delegates being IN
their seats scarcely ten minutes. The Committee
on Credentials had not been able 70 dispose OF
the contests on it's hands, and as the rules pro-
vidcd that no other business could be done until
file titles of all the delegates had been formally
confirmed, there was nothing left but TO adjourn
or 70 take recess Nh to the chagrin Of the
spectators who had pa9d from SO to 80
each for seats, and Of the correspondents OF
Eastern newspapers, whose day is cut short prac-
tically at 6 D. m. by the wretchcd facilities here
for handling tclegraphic dispatches the conven-
tion decided TO take a recess until O'clock when
Il was hoped the Committee OH Credentials would
he able to report full list OF delegates entitled
10 seats.
The only business done consisted Of the presen-
ta.ion of two resolutions, which were read from
the platform. The first was fatherei by senator
Cullom. and committed the convention
to an approval Of liberal National aid
TO the Chicago Worlds Fair. When read IL was
greeted with general applause, which Mp Suiiom
