Then in slow and measured accents, Mr. Lodge expro—oil the objections of his delegation to the nomi&ae of tlje committee, and submitted the name of John R. Lynchf of Mississippi. He said: Mr. Chairman: In accordant* with the Tote Of the national committee, and In accordance with precedent, you have presented the liame of A gentleman us temporary chairman. With no view of Introducing any personal contest, with no view of attempting any personal contest, with no view of attempting to make any test of the votes as to the strength of the respective candidates, I have the honor to move, as lfe Is certainly most desirable that we should recognize, as you have done, Mr. Chairman, the Republicans of the South. (Applause)—I desire to present the name of a gentleman well known throughout the South for his conspicuous parliamentary ability, for his oourage-and his character. I move you, Mr. Chairman, to substitute the name of Hon. John R. LyncBT of Mississippi, and I ask, sir, that when the vote Is taken the roll may be called on that question. 'The Plumed Knight routed," and "Blaine?* 'orcei irretrievably defeated," are the phrases n which managers of other candidates are, trough bulletins and pftvate dispatchee, lending abroad from Maine to California, ;heir opinions of the work of aftertoon. Fidelity to impartiality and nonjartiiansbip, however, scarcely warrant ;his interpretation of the action of :he convention. Prominent leaders of the interests of the ex-senator from Maine, stated distinctly before the call of itatea had commenced that they would not xinsider tyie vote a lost one, and although it is true, in the main, that tho field was arrayed against Blaine, there were scattered over the meadows many who supported the successful candidate, not that they loved Blaine loss, but that between Lynch and Clayton they loved the former more. Personal antagonism toward the one-armed soldier from Arkansas had something to do with the result, and the desirability,of giving some recognition to the "man and hrother" outweighed other considerations with not a few of the delegates. As Taft, of South Carolina, put it, "If you are in er meet about the claims of the southern men tu reQonition, jive it to them at the start." And the conrention did give it accordingly. How the Blaine men view the situation was briefly mil pointedly put by one of them last even:ng. The fight was the field against one nan. It was a straight vote; there was no opportunity for the conferences and consultations the bargains and tho pledges which follow the ballot fqr a presidential nominee. Mr. Blaine has never been considered with more than 340 votes, and yet the man whom '10 opposition proclaim was his candidate •oiled 387, with two delegates not voting. ' toll jiou we are in a more hopeful mood now than at any time since our arrival." THE VOTt BY STATES. A BEAT- FOR THE UNITED PREM nun's paper was read. It proved to l.e a request from the Women's Christian Temperance union for an incorporation of theiv principles into the platform. Tho audience tittered, the chairman declared a motion to adjourn carried, and the first session of the national Republican convention was at an end.

Their accommodations proved to be ample, and owing to the precautions taken against any possibility of confusion, due mainly to the efforts of Hon. John C.

George Wm. Curtis, of ' York, who was received with considers Dle cheering, made an appeal for adherence to the old and established usages of the p- rty. Theodore Roosevelt mounted a chair ind followed in the same line. Loud calls were made for a vote. A delegate from Pennsylvania demanded a call of states, but Chairman Sabin ruled that call of ind vidual delegates was the proper mode of pi Dcedure. The delegate persisted, but was 1: iwled down. The Missourians named John B. Henderson. The Arthur men, seeing that several of their men were absent, moved an adjournment, but were voted down. Mr. Lynch*! name was withdrawn. Burleigh seoondod the nomination of Henderson. Ae first ballot before Lynch was withdrawn stood: Grow, It); Lynch, 9; Hoar, 0 and Henderson, 4. When Lynch's name was withdrawn his votes all went to Henderson, and the second ballot stood: Henderson, 30; Grow, 17. Gen. Sherman hM telegrajAed ax-Senator Henderson that he will not acoept the nomination if offered, or aero if elected. Arthur Men Jubilant. Chicago, June 4.—The Arthur men are figuring on capturing the Edmunds delegates, but it is known that Messrs. Horr, Hooeevelt and George Curtis are favorably disposed towards Sherman. Sherman speaks of the situation as entirely; satisfactory, and urges the importance of holding the force solidly together. Anti- Blaine men insist that the selection of Lynch for temporary chairman is a black eye tor Blaine, as his own strength, together with that of Sherman and Logan, was insufficient to capture the temporary organization. The Arthur men are in high feather and say: " We did not ait up until 2 o'clock yesterday morning for nothing." The Blaine supporters are still sanguine, and say that-at balloting proceeds they will at the proper time show their hand. The Pennsylvania Delegation.

D Washington, June 3.—Every other topic here is neglected except the Chicago convention. On the streets, in the hotels and at the capital, nothing else was talked of. In the halls of legislation business proceeded in a slow humdrum manner; senators and congressmen apparently taking more interest in the bulletins and news dispatches, fully showing the progress of the work in Chicago furuislied by the United Press, than in the business before them in their respective chambers. Vice President Edmunds called tliu senate to order at noon, as usual, with but four Republcan and five Democratic senators present Soon afterwards it was decided when they adjourned for the day to adjourn over to Friday. Mr. Edmunds was as imperturable as usual, and his indifference as to the outcome at Chicago is evidently not assumed. Henderson is an Edmunds man, but is claimed for Arthur on the second ballot. He was one of the fiercest opponents of the third term conspiracy in 1880. Chicaoo, June 4—The meeting of the national Republican convention has been markad by lew life and energy than baa characterised any similar gathering ■iaea 1870. Delegates strolled listlessly into the hall by twos and threes instead of marching with upright form and noble mien as of yore, and a solitary brass band, provided by the national committee, did all the musical honors which on farmer oopasions was shared by the crack bands of Philadelphia, New Tork and other cities. Even the galleries were inclined to be conservative in the matter of their plaudits upon the occasions when the enthusiasm rose to what would be regarded on such an ocoasion as a normal pitch. The Blaine men heli a conference last night to determine whether to oppose Henderson or not It has been proposed by some of them to pit Lynch against Henderson, and have another fight in the convention to-morrow.Mr. Benjamin, of Arkansas, followed, and the d. r-nssion promised to be strung out to an interminable length, when Mr. Shirk, of Alab.- ma, moved the previous queetion, and Mr. t tbin ordered thexoll call. Over two hours wen occupied in calling the roll. As prominent and distinguished meml era of the party answered their names and sC ated their preferences they were rewarded with cheers from the adherents of the particular candidate whom they favored. When the name of Senator Mahone was reached the excitement was as groat as at the rising of Lodge. Stepping out in the aisle the little senator announced in a piping voice that his choios was "John R. Lynch." It has been decided that John Stewart will not present Blaine's name, aa had bean suggested. A Philadelphia Tim** oorrespoadett •ays: "Whan Stewart arrived here on Sunday be was asked to meet William Walter Phelps and Whitelaw Beid. Ha complied with the request and they, as delicately as possible, told him that sons Pennsylvania people had assured them that it would be a mistake aad damaging to Blaine if Stewart was setaoted to name Blaine. The Penaeylvanians had said that the itslsgallnn might poeeibly be made to give Blaine 56 rotes, but not if Stewart wet* chosen. Of course, aa Stewart had never been ashed to present Blame, he did not see any reason why he should inriatu pan doing so. This ssatter had a great deal to do in influencing the delegation in electing Stewart a* its chairman." In all probablity the hall is most com plete and the best fitted for seating a great political body than can bo found in the country. It is in one sense temporary, having been constructed within the walls of the Exposition building, situated ou the east line of the city on the shores of Lake Michigan. Its seating capacity approximates 13,000. Springing from the cast and west sides of the hall are vast arches which rise 300 feet in the air, and relieve the view through the entire expanse of the auditorium. The speaker's desk rests on a platform twelve feet above the seats of the delegates, and the press occupies an intermediate space midway in height, or about on a level with the heads of the delegates as they occupy their chairs. Back of the presiding officer's chair, ranging in a semi-circle and on a level space, are seated the remaining otScors of the convention, members of the national committee and their immediate friends. The Edmunds men wars in oooferenoe in Roosevelt's room in the Grand Pacific sines the adjournment of the convention until early this morning Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge have been trying to lead the lmpracticables to join Sherman, Hawley, or any other possible third candidate, but then are as many different opinions among the reformer* as there are members of the oooferenoe. It is said that the Indiana delegation will present Harrison's name to the convention, but he will not receive its united support Boerox, June 8.—The Blaine party left for Augusta after dining at Young'i Hotel Mr. Blaine, just before tearing, said to a personal friend that he did not expect to be nominated, and that tbrf candidate would be a dark hone. There is good authority ten the statement that the Blaine mett will, at his request, support Gen. Sherman if thcnomination of the plumed knight appean impracticable. Blaine Talktag Bark ■•ran. No time was lost by Senator Sabin in getting tin convention to order, for his gavel fell at 13:25 p. M. The prayer of the Rev. Dr. Bristol, a young-looking man with a red mustache and garments of a pronounced secular cut, was calm and patriotic. When he beseeched the Almighty that the coming campaign be conducted with deoenoy, two loud "Amens" came from that corner of the visitors' gallery where Paul ■trobach and ex-Minister Washburne were sitting iu close proximity. "Louder!" cried the secretary. "John R. Lynch," shouted Theodore Roosevelt. Instantly there was a furore of applause, and Curtis, Roosevelt, Taft, Keyes, of Mudison, Wis., and half a dozen colored delegates crowded around to grasp the hand of the little man. * Before the roll-call was half over it was seen that Lynch was largely in the lead, and although toward the end Pennsylvania came to the aid of Clayton with forty-six votes, Texas and West Virginia with twelve each, and Wisconsin with ten, the rally was seen to be too late. Lynch had carried the day. The secretary announced the vote, 433 to 380, but the crowd had shouted itself hoarse, and there was not much enthusiasm over the announcement Clayton, pale and agitated, rose, and in tremulous tones requested that his vote, which had not been previously cast, be recorded for his succesful opponent, and also moved to make it unanimous. The resolution was adopted. Clayton, Lodge and Taft were appointed a conmittee to escort Lynch to the chair. As tho procession moved down the aisle, Clayton in front, Lynch next, and Lodge and Taft bringing up the rear, the audience went into hysterics, and when, with a courtly bow, Clayton presented the ' 'man and brother" to Senator Sabin, hats went into, the air, ladies waved parasols and handkerchiefs, and pandemonium reigned supreme Lynch was cool and collected, to all appeal ances the most unconcerned man in the room. He advanced to ths front of the stage, and, when quiet had been restored, began an address which for fluency and general excellence of delivery had not been equalled by any of the speakers who had preceded him. He said: Later a group of senators were conversing pleasantly about the non-appearance of Senator Logan. "He looked sick yesterday," remarked a Democratic senator. The conference broke up in the wee sma' hoars, having accomplished nothing. Tht original programme of voting for will be followed until one or two ballots have been taken. Private wires which are extended from Clyeago to the executive mansion, to Vice- President Edmunds' room in the senate chamber, and to most of the departments, keep the president, Mr. Edmunds, Senators Sherman and Hawley and Postmaster-Gen. Grcsham, prominent candidates, drr1' horses and all, hourly informed of the minutest developments. Two southern delegations and the chairman of a northwestern delegation telegraphed horo to tfiijr that they would support lVistmaatar-Gen. Greslmm if he would announce himself as a candidate: Gen. Gresham replied in positive terms that his name must not be used while Arthur was in the field./ Prominent Independent* from New York and Massachusetts visited Mr. Grosham aud urged him to permit the use of his name as a candidate. He made the same reply to them, saying so long as Arthur was in tlie field he would not permit it Senator Safatn, of the national committee, has an uncanny mustache and Aajgy eyebrows overhanging a pair of dsep-eet «jfta. Horr, of Michigan, made a strong fight for a roll call by states. Roosevelt opposed tht election of Clayton, but his speech was feeblt and be made a very weak impfeaslon. The absence of the Republican giants wh» had made the rafters ring four years ago iD most noticeable. Maine beaded up with a squad of unknown politicians in lieu of Fryi and Hale. Convention IfstM. The Blaine men are chuckling over the disagreement among the Independents, and think it augurs well for the man front Maine. WM. ALLEN * CO. 18 Nartli Mala RlrMt, THE HEADQUARTERS AT NIQHT. When the reverend gentlemen raised hit hands in prayer, and Senator Hoar stood up like a true-blue Congregationlist, reverently bowing his head. When the clergyman referred to Plymouth Rock he was evidently gratified by the compliment. A messenger boy in the aisle covered his eyes with his hand, and was apparently the most devout person in the building. Joe Med ill sat on the plutform with a fog horn at his ear, intently listening to the prayer. Chaunoey Filley was back of him, sucking the bqad of his cane. Back of this circle, on a sharply rising incline, are 1,000 seats occupied by a great many persons of national repute, whose presence is by the grace of the national committeemen. Swinging over the desk of the chairman and fairly tquching the arches, is a wide spreading sounding-board, embracing the side extremes of tho building. The delegates and altomates occupy a dead level space. They are hemmed in on two eidos by tiers of boxes occupied mainly by guests of the delegates. GUESTS OF THE COMMITTEE. Orators Firing Off Early Horning Rhetorical Prroteehaies. DEALERS IN Chicago, June 4.—Blaine's headquarter* were crowded all night and far into tiu morning worse than ever. Their oratori fired off rhetorical pyrotechnics, filling the air with music of braas bands, and doing all that thsy could to retain outsiders' enthusiasm. The Arthur men are sedate and quiet The bitterness between the Blaine men and the Arthur men is somewhat softened. Neither desires the nomination of either a dark heme or a duds candidate, as some of them express it, and there are indications that they would rather embrace each other and ooow together than allow a George William candidate to be selected.

Senator Sabin, spoke as follows, in a clear tone of voice, keeping his eyes upon the manuscript of his speech, which lay on the desk before him: , MAIN , lINTMMC j AT SEA AS TO THE RESULT. Arthur No Stronger—Hoar Said to Senator Brno* says: "The trouble with tha Arthur raeo imii to be that they hare no money. Their outui is conducted mainly on promise*. The talk about the sordidnsss of tiie negro delmto ia baaed mainly upon falsa report*. It is the white carpet-bagger whom band ia stretched out. The asgross in the Arkansas delegation will probably stand for Arthur." Gentlemen of the convention: On behalf of the national Republican committee, permit me to welcome you to Chicago. As chairman of that commtttsp It to Doth my duty and pleasure to call you to order as a national Republican convention. This city, already known as the city of conventions, is immg the most cherished of all the spots of our oountty, sacred to the memories of a Republican. It Is the blrthplaoe of Republican victory. On these fields of labor gathered the early fathers of our politloal faith and planned the great battle for the preservation of the Union. (Applause.( Here they chose that immortal chief that led us on to victory- Abraham Lincoln. Here were gathered in counsel those gifted men who secured the fruits of that long trouble by elevating to the Arst place in the nation toe foremost chieftain of that great contest— Gen. Grant. (Loud applause.) Here was afterward witnessed that signal triumph which anticipated the wish of the nation by nominating as color bearer of the party that honorod soldier, that shining citizen, that representative American—James A. Garfield. (Applause.) Every deliberation of Republican force on this historic ground has been followed by signal victory, and evenrtonvenUon on this spot has carried forward our nne of battle until to-day our forces overlook every position of the enemy. Indeed, so secure now Is the Integrity of Union, so firmly embeded In the constitution anCriawg of the land are the safeguards of individual liberty, jp fairly and fully •sMeved, that by general consent time has now ar rived for the new deposition of party forces, in contemplation of new lines of operation. Having compassed the defeat of our opponents on all former occasions, the party is about tp set its house In order, and take counsel as to tqe direction and the manage ment of its future course. Have a Sherman Boom In JHand. Chicago, June 4.—The Massachusetts delegates had an informal meeting in Senator Hoar's room lost night Senator Hoar said chat the result of the vote by which Lynoh was made temporary chairman showed that In all probability Blaine would not be nominated, and that the nominee would be some _Dne in the field. He thought it would be worth while for the Massachusetts Edmunds men to confer with the New York Edmunds A FULL LIKE or SILVER ANDPLATtD WARE.

Nevertheless, from the standpoint that no patriot should fall to respond to his country'? call, and that no loyal member of his party should 'all to comply with the demands of his party, I yield eluctantly to your decision, and shall assume the position to which you have osnigned me. (Cheers.) Every member of the convention who has approached me on this subject within the post few years knows that tills position was neither expected nor desired by me. If, therefore, there Is any sttfet* thing as i man having honors thrust upon him, yon have exemplification of It In this Instance. (Cheers.) I came to this convention not so much for the purpose of securing the defeat of any man, but for the purpose of contributing, to the extent ef my vote and Influence, to make Republican success in November an assured fact. I hope and believe that the assembled wisdom of the Republican party of this nation, through its choBcn representatives In this hall, will so shape our policy and will present such candidates before the American people as will make that victory beyond a shadow of a doubt. I wish to say, so far as the different candidates for the presidential nomination are concerned, that I do not wish any gentleman to feel that my election by your rotes Is Indicative of anything relative to a preference of one candidate over another. I am prepared, and I hope every member of this convention Is prepared, to return to his home with an unmistakable determination to give the candidates of this convenilon, a loyal and hearty support, whoever the may be. (Applause.) The Blaine faun hare decided not to Intrust hit nomination to Stewart, of Fannsylvanla.

As a result of the rule adopted In the last national Republican convention, this con ventkm finds itself constituted by a large majority of gentlemen who have been clothed with the delegated powers of the convention in their several congressional districts. On this consideration may be grounded a hope that the voice of the people (applause) will, beyond recent precedent, be felt in moulding the work yon are assembled to perform, so that Its results may be such as to win the unheal tatlng and Individual support of every lover of those principles by which the party has heretofore tri itmphod and will triumph.

Beginning again on the right and rear is Maryland, with Massachusetts immediately in her front, and ending with the District of Columbia in the first row of the seoond tier. New York occupies the front rank in the third, and Ohio holds the ranking position in the fourth and remaining tier. An Undemonstrative HomeaComlng. IEV SPRING and SUHEB Gentlemen of the convention, I am satisfied in my own mind that when we go before the people-of this country, our action wUl be ratified, because the great heart of the American people wUl never consent for any political party to gain the ascendancy in this government, whose chief reliance for that support is a fraudulent ballot and violence. (Applause.) 1 am satisfied that the people of this country are too loyal to ever allow a man to be inaugurated president of the United States whose title to the position may be brought forth in fraud and wnCMtc garments may be saturated with the Innocent blood of his countrymen. I am satisfied that the American people will ratify our action, because they will never consent for a revenue system In this government otherwise than that which wlU not only raise the necessary revenue for the supply but wlU also be sufficient to protect every American citizen everywhere. Gentlemen, not for myself, Ifcit perhaps in obedience to custom, I thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me." TIm Fertlnt In iri ii'» do -not feel so hopeful. They are ;ui u id that the field will combine, and an early combination of that kind, they admit, would beat lilaine. Augusta, Me., June 4,—There probably was never a cooler reception given to a prominent candidate for the presidency than was accorded James G. Blaine upon his arrival at his home last evening. Not over 500 people were at the depot, and nothing approaching enthusiasm was manifest. Senator Harrison ha* !eft Chicago and hat committed hi* interest* to the hand* ol friends. MILLINERY -m w GOODS! At the Indiana headquarters it was said that at least nine Indianians would vote for Arthur. The Connecticut delegation are talking of deserting Hawley after the first ballot. Hawley himself advises then) to do so, and Postmaster Sperry is urging the delegation to vote solid for Arthur. There ia mat talk of the Illinois delegation uniting upon Senator Oollom, should it become apparent that Logan cannot win. Editor Spaague met Blaine and inquired for his health. Tar ul Feathers Threatens*. "Peeling nicely, thank you," How tn you, Smith?" lie added, turning to Secretary of State Smith, and shaking hands with him. While shaking hanfe with one or two friends the little knot which had gathered disappeared, and, unattended save by the coachman Wd a young nephew, Mr, Blaine took up his journey towards home. The general feeling here is that Blab* h*4 lost ground during the past twenty-tow hours, although dispatches from Postmaster Stanley say that in Chicago the Blaine mm feel exultant oyer the vote on Clayton, olJps ing that it demonstrated beyond a doubt Mrt Blaine would have 350 votes on the first bal- Mybtio Bkidos, Ct, Jane 4.—This community (eels particularly outraged over the treatment by Mann—oh Miner of his wife.

It la thought he has fled, aa he has not basn esea since It will not be safs for him to venture around here again soen. At the Ohio headquarters, Mr. Butterworth said that the vote for temporary chairman had weakened Blaine's strength in Ohio. The Wisconsin delegates are showing the effect of the line manipulation of Senator Sawyer. He said that that delegation would give a majority of its vote at first for Arthur, although there was some disposition to vote for Gov. Fairchild on the llrwt ballot. Aa goon as Lynch had ceased a number of delegates prepared to leave the hall, and considerable confusion prevailed. Amidst the din, Delegate Fierce, of Massachusetts, submitted the following resolution: f . Skeolvod, Tbat the subject of a revised apportionment of delegates to future national conventions, and of a revised apportionment ef members for the national committee, be referred to the committee on rules aud order of business, with leave to report at any time before the ballot for president. Back of the delegates is a similar space occupied by the alternates. In the rear of the alternates is a oo mm odious seating space, the chairs resting on an easy incline and cut off from the space occupied by the alternates by a line of pickets. Beginning at a point one hundred feet in the fear of the alternates is another dividing wall, and from that point rises tier upon tier of seats to a point almost midway between the level of the hall and the apex of the doom-like roof.

Eto. * At the Vermont headquarters, CoL Hooker said that he had made a careful canvass, and that he was satisfied that Edmunds would have over 100 votes. In this opinion Theodore Roosevelt agreed. Senator Hoar said that he would be gratified if Edmunds received 80 votes on the first ballot, la oonolualon, at the request of the national Repub Mean committee, I have to propose to you aa tempo rary chairman of this convention the lion, Powell Clayton, of Arkanaaa. it looked squally for Mr. Blaine; that the effort was to consolidate the opponents of Blaine, but that of oourse a complete analysis of the vote might put a more encouraging face upon the matter. Another Republican ■aid he thought that the vote showed that Blaine could not be nominated, and he had serious doubts about his being elected if nominated. Ex-Got. Connor said to a friend that varied enontth to suit all taetea. the  the Ipteet end prices reasnaahle MM. K. J. SMITH. After Chairman 8abin had read his speech with a clear and distinct delivery, he announced that he was delegated by the national committee to submit the name of Powell Clayton as temporary chairman. A death-like silence followed. The falling of a pin from the chairman's table might have been heasd on the reporter's stage below. F-r a n oment the stillness was painful, Every aye was directed toward the Massachusetts delegation. Suddenly the form of Cabot Lodge was seen to loom up from the middle of the delegation. There was a murmur. It swelled into a roar. Delegates, correspondents and visitors mounted their seats. The occupants of the distinguished stranger*' gallery craned their necks, th« ladies 1. i I as ile their fans. Chairman Babin caugl.t the excit ment aui moved from Ida ««sk to the edge of the platform. It wai pwtl moments before quiet could be r» To oomplete the picture, narrow galleries run along the east and west sides of the ball its entire length. The front of this gallery is faced with coats of arms of the several states on a background of festoonqd flags. Fluttering from the arches are the national oolors and the flags of all nations. The prevailing oolor in the body of the hall is a dull I ndian red, to a point where the arches seem to spring from the galleries, and from this point, embracing the dome of the building, is a light sky-blue. At the Illinois there was the usual surface enthusiasm for£Logan. Oen. Carr said that the delegation had reason to believe that after Blaine's nomination is seen to bo impossible, a majority of his supporters will go to Logan, and that he thought it was likely that this would be done early. It is apparent, as the different headquarters are visited, that the managers are still at sea as to the result. The great trouble is that a good many of the delegates have not expresses! their preferences, so as to make anything like an accurate canvass possible. Postmaster Conger, of Washington, moved to strike out the words "at anytime." Houk, of Tennessee, moved to lay the whole matter on the table. The motion was lost by a thunder of "Noes," and after a tedious debate on technicality., too i«solution was adopted. WM. M. FU&Y, CON DC NMD NEWS. Mr. Blaiue received no callers last evening.
