Special Dispatch to The N Y. Tribune.
CHICAGO, Friday, May 1S-SI p. m.
Consultations and caucusing continued far into
the morning last night, and strengthened the oppo
nents of Mr.. Seward, but both parties entered the
Convention in state of great anxiety and doubt
The Seward men were probably the most conf
dent. The first intimation of the looming man"
was the enthusiasm of the immense crowd at the
first mention Of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t was wild and
deep. Mr.. Stewards friends undertook to respond,
but the Lincoln men beat them.
The first ballot clearly indicated Mr.. Stewards
defeat, and when, on the second, Mr.. Cameron
was withdrawn and Pennsylvania voted for Mr..
Lincoln, the last hope of the Seward men was
gone. The enthusiasm with which the result was
received was immense. The Wigwam, packed
with some 1900 people, resOunded with shouts
and calls of satisfaction for FIVE or ten minutes
There was no depressing the irrepressible enthus-
asm. and it only subsidized when everybody was
tired. There was never such another scene in
America. Ohio gave the finishing touch to the
majority vote, and then States filed In one after
another for the successful candidate. New-York
did not change her vote, but Mr.. Evarts, IN very
neat speech, moved the majority nomination be
made unanimous, which was done with new out
break Of applause.
la Consultation of the Chairman of the State
delegations as to the Vice. Presidency, which all
agreed should follow, Messrs. Reeder and Hick'
man Of Pennsylvania, and Banks Of Massachusetts,,
were most prominently named, but NewYork in
dicated Mr.. Hamlin Of Maine, and he was there
fore easily nominated. The Seward men expected
aid from Pennsylvania, and being disappointed,
took revenge by defeating her candidates for Vice
President. Though Massachusetts gave Mr.. Sew
ard more votes than any other State, except New
York. they entertained hostile feeling also to-
ward MIR. Banks, and defeated him, notwithstand-
ing il was generally agreed that no one would
strengthen the ticket more than him.
There is a very general satisfaction with the
ticket New.York is bitterly disappointed, but
promises to 20 in heartily. The West Is IN hlgn
state of iubilation Col. Lane says Indiana is now
sure both in October and November Dispatches
from Pennsylvania announce most enthusiastic
reception. A Bel man presides over Phiadel
mia ratification meeting tonight.

auenee as an orator, and his firm persons Integrity

good feeling and joy that prevail here. The Illinois
