Chicago, June 20. Convention Hall The great convention hall fills more rapidly this morning than yesterday. Uncompleted details in the arrangement of scats compelled the sergeant -at-arms to keep the crowd out yesterday until nearly noon. To-day there is nothing wanting, and eager, expectant, puzzled, but somewhat weary, It was. announced that; the committee were considering the contests in the 4th the 10th district and 10th districts of Georgia, and Caroli ina The of of South committee has sent a sub-committee three to the convention to jnotify it that the full committtee will Report on the contested cases at 8 p. m. The commit tee expects to be in secret session till that hour. It is now on Virginia, and it is reported that (the committee has decided in favor of Mahone : and I the Sherman men are consequently elated. j Much speculation is indulged 'in as .whether the fight over the Virginia j test will be carried to the floor of convention, and the matter is exciting more feeling jusi now than anythingelse.

The weather is much warmer, than yesterday and in the great galleries and balconies there is a quick wavingof Tans, and some of the spectators have discard ed their coats and are taking thcid ease in true democratic style, while crowds Sherman force and is credited with being the Sherman candidate the National Convention nominated. j The convention was ca Chairman Thurston at 12:30, and a hush i i I i fell upon the assemblage when Rev.

The report, among other recommendations favors the ad mission of four Mahone delegates-at large and the Wise delegates from the 2nd, 5th, Gth, 7th, Sthjand 10th districts. Russell, of N.

There is a slower gathering of the solans of the party, newspaper j men and officers of the convention, on ihe platform and in the galleries in rear ! of the chairman's desk. The old walnut desk .with its gilt letterings' telling that from it laine and Garfield were both nominated, in this city, excites a great deal of curiosity from people on the stage in its vicinity. j J ! Air. Estee, who is a broad shouldered and broad whiskered man, with a pleas ant smile and agreeable manners, is an early arrival and walks upon the plat form before all of the California dele gates are in their seats. Few people on the stage greet him. for Estee is not an obstrusive man and has not circulated much among the delegates.! He grace fully yielded to his defeat for temporary chairman and was surprised at tlfe suc cess of his friends who ' had him chosen for a higher place. He will hereafter be the m0st prominent figure in the conven tion, and in maivy ways the most impor tant. As a few of his friends gather about him he looks over them with an air of some concern; hoping that his voice can be heard everywhere, but mod estly expressed himself as to! his ability to successfully master the situation. Mr. Estee's friends have no such doubt. He has managed large bodies before and has fine executive ability. I ! As the auditorium fills up the air be gins to be oppressive, although the audi torium liars been found to be the coolest place in Chicago. I A flash, like the : hot air of a furnace, has swept over the city and is gradually working, its why throughout the auditorium building and giving the convention some approxima tion to the stifling experience of the dem ocratic gathering! at St. Louis! ' . . As yesterday, the first delegate in the hall is an Ohioan, who comes in followed by three or four others, who take their seats in the centre of the, as yet, empty space in front of the platform. This van guard is followed bv others, some of them in delegations, others alone, in pairs, and by halt dozens, and the con vention begins to look like business. The til the committee on the I have been heard from. credentials should He did not wTish J y ery decided victory to force gag-law upon the convention, but he moved that the motion be laid upon the table. The chair stated that at the last two rfM-mhlimn rnnwtitinrs the rnmtnittee on permanent organization had reported ilaine man, paid alter the convention before the committee art credentials had adjourned to-day, that the action of the which are opposed td the programme of those managers who c aim to be friends of Blaine. j Thomas Bane, of Pennsylvania, who was chairman; of the 'committee on rules, and who has always been a sincere for the influences completed its labors. He was informed that the committee on credentials would not be ready to: report until the evening. Henderson, qf Iowa!, said that the the convention J could do nothing, under the circumstances except to organize, and unless it should be proposed to go on with the nominating speeches he would move to take recess until eight o'clock to-night. Cries' of "no!" "no!" , Payne, of Pa.J, opposed this and Hen derson withdrew his motion and moved to preceed to permanent organization, which was agreed to. j J Governor Foster, of Ohio, chairman of the committee on permanent organiza tion, then stepped upon the platform and read the unanimous report of the committee. He was! given an enthusi astic reception by the audience, and as he stated that M. M. Estee, of California, was selected for permanent chairman of the convention, the cheering broke forth afresh.! Gov. Foster proceeded to read the list of Vice Presidents as selectee by the various State delegations. The re port was adopted without dissent, and the chair appointed Gov. Foster, of oiiio; Senator Foly, of Nevada, and Mr George B. Sloan, of New York, a committee to escort Mr. Estee to the platform from his seat in the California delegation. When Air. Estep appeared and was j in troduced by the chair, the convention applauded wittj enthusiasm. j The committee on credentials decided to admit to seats the Wise delegates, in all contested districts except the 9th, leaving Mahone the lst 4th and 9th, and the delegates-at-Iarge, and making convention in allowing this provision to lie incorporated in the rules was one ot the wisest and most) important actions taken so far. It renders a possibly liasty Elaine movement outj of the questio ji and adds strength to the friends of 'Blaine, who do not desire his nomination j unless i the convention cannot, after an honest and sincere 4nd long continued: effort ecide between the other candidates. Among the gentlemen on the platform this evening, was Harry Smith, late Tour- rial clerk of the House of Representatives, who has been requested by chairman. Estee to assilt him! in construing the rather complicated code of rules,! which govern the lower branch of National leg islation. ' I ! : At 8:20 the 'convention was called to order. The auditorium was uncomfort- ablv crowded land the air in the hall was I i j si j stifling. Chairman Estee announced that the limit of time for speaking was 5 min utes, and that all Speakers would be called to order on time, except I in the presentation of Presidential candidates j (Wellington, j of Maryland, offered tlie following: resolution: We tender to heartfelt sym- they have re- decease of the Germany the was j Wall, of Nebraska, broke in with point of order that Riddlebergcr, o it ot oijder, as tne " questioiij j now pend ii g related to delegates-at-large.

This was agreed to. Fessender, of Connecticut, moved to reconsider the vote by which the con vention had admitted the Wood delega tion from the 9th district of Virginia. Butterworth, of Ohio, moved to lay this motion upon the table, and after a long parliamentary harangue, the question was put and Butterworth's motion pre vailed, 242 to 174-. The question then recurred upon the admission of delegates from the 2nd district of Virginia. The majority report seats the Wise delegates and the minority report, which scats the Mahone delegates, was offered as a sub- stitute, and a call of States was had upon the substitute. Laughter went through the assembly when, ou Ohio be ing called, Governor Foraker rose nnd stated that there were only thirty eight delegates present and that nineteen of them voted yea and nineteen nay. The minoritty report was rejected ; yes 230, nays 512. The announcement of the vote was received with great applause. The majority report was adopted on a whole and applicable to all the Virginia districts, and then the convention, at 11:25, adjourned until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. elected delegates from the 9th district. Weber, of New York, objected to .this, and Russell, of N.

About the hour for the meeting of th 3 convention, the hall is full of rumors the usual sort and generally unreliable. It is reported among the Blaine men that Cailfornta has agreed to .vote for S&m ford on the preliminary ballots, in order to save their effectiveness for the Blaine movement at the time agreed upon. It is also rqxrted that some New York men have abandoned Depew j and are openly for Blaine, but this can be traced to no reliable source. j I I !
