SPWINGKJELD, May 20.—The convention mot this morning pursuant to adjourn meut. The action of the Committee on Credential* admitted to seat* on the floor the delegate* from Green county.
Chairman fiaum announced that the Committee on Credential# was considering the Cook county contest and would be unable to rt port for several hour#.
Then a bit of real bu»inc«s was transacted, n# Dr. Robhlns, of Quincy, a pronounced leader of the Blaine men, arose and offered a resolution directing the Committee on Credentials not to consider lite claims of any contestant* who had bolted from any local Convention regularly called. This was a direct slap at the Grant men from Cook County, and in an instant all was bustle and confusion. The Blaine and Washburnc men attempted to get up alt the enthusiasm possible, and cheered and roared tnemselves hoarse over it. Logan, Wentworth, long Jones, and other oi the Grant leaders exchanged significant glances and messages.
As soon as something approximating to order was restored, the Chairman put the motion on its passage, but as every man in the Convention, delegate, spoctator, or reporter, had noted, it was impossible to decide by sound which side had carried the day. Long John demanded a vote by counties, which was accorded. As the Secretary called the roll the adherents and opponents of Grant cheered the votes of tbelr partisans most heartily. It was ft highlv Inspiring and dramatic scene, and ciidcd in another victory for "U. 8. G," as the tally footed up (ftl votes in favor of laying the motion on tho table, to 251 against. Then the Grant men woke the •chocs with their jubilant cheers until the walls reverberated with the peals of applause. When this subsided a Blaino man moved to take .a recess until 11 o'clock, and it was carried with but single obstinate dissentient.
Prior to the meeting of the Convention the mombors of the Farwell Hall delegation met in the Senate Chamber, aud after debating the matter pro and con for some little time, adopted the following protest. It is a square back-down on the part of the opponents of General Grant, and given him Illinois beyond the cavil of a doubt. Here is tho protest: "Tho dolepvtion from Cook, from the regular Convention "held at Farwell Hall, denying for themselves and their constituency any lawful powor in the Convention or In tins Committee to. impose upon any contestant any condition whatever precedent to rendering justice according to law And the evidence, still do hereby submit, under protest, to the resolution, as we understand it, of tho unorganized Convention in which wo were mil permitted to take a part, as the only means left to prevent the threatened displacement of the Republicans of Cook County, and the probaole loss of the State to the Republican candidate."
At two o'clock the Convention was called to order, but, as the Committee on Credentials was notroady to report, there was nothing for the delegates to do but sit and talk togethfcr, which they did for an hour or more and then Senator Logan raised a breexe by making a motion that each of the Cook County contesting delegations appoint a person to present Its side of the ease to the Convention when tho Committee on Credential* should re-
Kort.
and that each oration should l»c mitcd to a half hour speech. This was earnestly opposed by the AnU Grant men, but the vote on It stood 888 ayes, to814 noes and so it nassetl as the will of the Convention, tills was a sharp move on the part of the Grant taen, It prevented the bung hole stumpers from stirring up bad blood, as they would have done had they been permitted the freedom of the floor. It was another of the wise precautions of the friends of Grant, who throughout this fight have acted with the greatest wisdom and fairness.
After this vote was taken there was conversational intcrrrjmum, which lasted until about 4 o'clock, when the Commute*? on Credentials were teen entering the halt They were lustily cheered as they stood hi the center aisJe. Cpoa be ing accosted by the l*rcsid«RU they sta tea that on any one had three Convention. All three were handed to the Secretary, and marked one, two and three

right Tnertfc
The third report was that of the Farwell hall crowd. It rehearsed the cause of dispute, and claimed that its entire ninety-two delegates were the only ones in titled to represent Cook County. It was read by General Horibert with considerable snap and Tim.
At the conclusion of the reading a delegate from Crawford County moved the adoption of the Grant report. Hardly had his motion been seconded when Dr. Bobbins, a Blaine man from Quincy, jumped up, and as a substitute moved the adoption of the third (or Farwell hall) report. His motion was seconded, when he bounced up again and wished to with draw his motion but the Convention would not permit him. The Anti-Grant men then began a system of parliamentary skirmishing that nearly arove poor Raum crazy. He was finally aided out of the mental mud in which he was floundering by Ike Clements, Logan's righthand man, and decided that the Farwell Hailers should open and close the debate on the report of the Committee on Credentials.
Mr. Kirk Howe then mounted the chair of the Secretary and began the argument for the Farweliers. He is a large, smooth faced man, a cross, in appearance, be tween John Follett and Judge Hoadlv. He made a very lawyer-like presentation of his side of the case, but advanced no new arguments. He spoke twenty-five minutes, and was listened to very attentively, and cheered at the close of his remarks.
He was replied to by Mr. Emory Storrs, of Chicago, a keen, Sam Cox looking man, who has a wit as keen as a razor, and a flow of language that is wonderful to hear. He made ave
very telling speech,
and craftily ran in two or three eulogies of Grant that nearly Bet the Convention wild with enthusiasm, when he closed Mr. Howes spoke for about ten minutes, and then the vote was taken on the Farwell Hall report, which was not received by the following vote, taken by counties: yeas, 282 nays, 820.
The vote was then taken on report No. 1, which was carried by the following votes yeas. 134 nays. 281.
This settled the vexed question, and the Convention took a recess for two hours.
After the report was adopted the fifty six Farwell Hailers who were admitted to seats met and resolved to go into Convention like good little boys tbe thirtysix who were shut out also, met and held little Convention of their own, electing Herman Raster, the editor of Ross Hesaing's Chicago Staats Zeitung, and Legrand W. Perse, delegates to the Chicago Convention, aud Cnris. Warner and W. 8. Kaufman, alternates. Geo. Spofford was selected as Elector, and Ilorman Renze member of the State Central Committee. This actioa will have no effect whatever, and is laughed at even by the other Fnrwellers.
At eight o'clock this evening the Convention again assembled, and it had hardly been called together when old
Galena, arose and offered
the following "jRewind, That U. S. Grant is the choice of the Convention for President of the United States."
It was received with loud cheers. Another delegate moved as a substitute that the name of Washburnc be substituted for Graut's.
Dr. Robins moved that the whole matter be referred to the Committee on Resolutions when appointed, but this was tabled.
The Washburnc substitute was voted down, and then the Convention declared in favor of Grant by the following vote which was taken by counties: Yeas, 886, nnys, 807. The cheers that followed the announcement of this vote may be imagined, but they cannot be described. They fairly shook the Capitol from turret to foundation stone, and lasted fully ten minutes, and until tho victors were unable, from sheer physical exhaustion, to cheer any more.
Anew phase in the flglit against Gen. Grant was developed in the Convention to-night. After the enthusiasm over the vote in favor of General Grant had subsided. Frank Crosby offered a resolution that the Congressional Districts elect the forty-two delegates to the Chicago Convention. This was opposed most earnestly by General Logan, in one of the speeches of his life, in which he showed how Illinois had deserted Blaine at Cincinnati in 1876 and he urged that no man be elected a delegate to Chicagrt but a Grant man, who would stand by him from first to last.
SPRISOFIKLD, May 21—12 80 A. M.—The confusion and turmoil prevailed until nearly every one in the Convention was exhausted. Dilatory motions were rained on the Convention by the Anti Grant men, and when they were decided ad* versely to them they fought on with malicious perseverance, being aided and abetted in their obstinacy by the incompetency of tbe Chairman as a presiding officer. Finally the previous question was moved, the Chair decided it in order, and an appeal was taken from the Chair's erroneous decision that an appeal was not debatable. The Chair was sustained by a vote of 642 to 86, but before the vote was announced recalled his decision. On a dtemand for the previous question on Dr. Thomas* substitute for General Logan's motion, the vote was called by counties, resulting in its being called for.
