sold Abe the Wisconsin wEr-oagle, which
was carried above the colors Of its regiment
I through many fthe western battles, was brought
to Chicago BY the delegation from that State,
and headed the procession Of soldiers and sailors
| tapping his wings with every cheer,
The most tremendous cheering in the Ma
| tional Convention was when Gen. sickes entered
on his crutohos at the head Of the New York del
4 egaiion. Yallandingbam thinks that no party
which does not stand by the gallant men Of the
/ North who opposed the war, can succeed The
services Of the men who fought its battles are
more likely 10 b. remembered
When benjamin Z. Wade was nominated for
the Presidency, Mr.. Spaulding said that
| for the first time since the organization
Of The party, Ohio was unanimous in the
National Convention. Upon his nomina-
| ton three times three cheers were given for
Honest Ben Wade" The fact that he was dis
| liked by Fessendon and Trumbull did not hurt
him, and ON the first ballot he received much the
largest vote.
! The Vermont delegation voted from first 30
/ last for Schuyler Colfax. Colfax was tho fourth
in strength on the first ballot, but steadily gain
ed until at the conclusion Of the fifth ballot Iowa
! led the way in changing votes, and his nomina-
4 ton was effected.
There was a strong pressure 10 have the rec
reant Senators read out Of the party but the Con-
yontion contented itself with declaring Mr.. John
son justly impeached and convicted by the vote
| Of So Senators. The delegates thought best, as
Gen. Palmer suggested in his speech, to leave
those men in the hands Of the people, "a tribunal
which cannot DO corrupted" But every express
sion Of feeling against them was the occasion Of
hearty applause.
| "A d. Fessenden, of Maine, was one the Vice
/ Presidents Of the Convention. When his name
was called a delegate Inquired if he agreed with
William Pitt Fessenden on the hjeot ofimpeach-
ment. One Of the Maine delegation replied that
although the Vice President in question was a
brother Of The Senator be didnot agree with him.
| when the news Of his brothers vote upon the
eleventh article was received, he signed call for
| public meeting to denounce him.
Gen. Grant was put in nomination by Gen.
! Logan, and the convention voted upon the nomi-
nation by States, When the roll was completed,
| the President declared that Gen. Grant had re-
eoiyed six hundred and fifty votes the entire vote
Of the convention. The announcement was re-
eeiyod with tremendous applause during which
picture Of Gen. Grant was unveiled, and the
| band played Hail TO the Chief When the ex-
citement had somewhat subsidized, the President
was directed by vote Of the convention to tele-
graph the news TO the nominee.
| Mr.. Colfax was first nominated. not by sena-
tor Lane as proposed by his friends, but by Mr..
Brown, delegate from Allegheny County, Penn,
who said that he represented county which al
ways gave 10000 Republican majority, more than
all the rest 81 the State put together; and that
although he was instructed by his State to vote
for Curtin should go for the choice Of his Coun
4 ty, Schuyler Colfsx. a#
/ When the news Of Gen. Grants nomina-
ton was received In Washington with synopsis Of
| the platform adopted, Secretary Stanton and 9TH
er distinguished persons waited upon him, and
7 congratulated him as the next President Of the
/ Republic His first inquiries were about the plat
form, and when ii was shown him he gave ii &
careful perusal, and spoke Of II with approval
| Generals and Congressman filed his headquar-
tors during the afternoon and in the evening
he received congratulations by telegraph from
the Governors Of many Of the States.
John W. Forney, President Johnson's Dead
4 Duck was a member Oft the Pennsylvania delega-
ton, and The Convention expressed strong de-
sire 10 see him upon the stage and hear his voice
friend requested that he might be excused as
he was too hoarse to speak, but repeated calls
Obliged him to rise and say few words.
| Frederick Hassaurek, u Ohio, formerly MIN
lister 10 Ecuador, addressed the Convention in an
able speech, while ii was waiting for the report
Of the Committed on Resolutions, In which be
said, referring 10 government al the South 'aThs
