Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-06-16

brief speech maintains that this
course was unprecedented, and would
only cause delay with no advantage
to any one.
Gen. Noyes, of Ohio opposed the
motion.
Mr. Hutchins, of New York opposed
the motion. He thought if ever time
in the history ofparties required de-
liberation now was that time. 1t was
absurd to put man on horseback be-
fore getting the horse.
Mr.. Cessna followed in the same
strain.
Pending the discussion Mr.. Hale
withdrew his motion and the original
report was adopted.
Poland seconds Bristow, the nomi-
nation is received rather tamely. Geo.
Curtis seconds Bristow. Richard II.
Dana, Massachusetts, seconds Bristow.
Loud applausel says no other man but
Bristow can carry Massachusetts.
Kisses and applause].
Ingersol nominated Blaine (great
applause). A colored delegate seconds
Blaine. Gov. Woods nominates Conk-
ling warmly applauded). Woodford
made speech, which was listened to
by the Convention, and he was wildly
applauded in his appeal to the Con-
vention to support Conkling. Ben
Wade and Davis of West Virginia fol-
lowed for Hayes. A heavy rain has
set in. Can hardly hear a word for
the noise. Convention adjourned till
tomorrow at ten A. NJ. without hav-
ing taken ballot.
CINCINNATI, June l5th.-The action
of the convention to-day is the uni
versal topic of conversation tonight.
The general impression seems to be
that Blaine has carried every point so
far, and that his nomination is almost
q certainty on the second or third bal
lot. The vote on the Alabama con-
tested seats Is regarded as test, and
the unseating of the Spencer delega-
ton by such an overwhelming major
ity is claimed by Mr. Blaine's friends
to indicate his nomination beyond
doubt. They say that more votes could
have been obtained if it had been nec-
essary, but that they did not desire to
bring the mass of their forces to bear
on the skirmish line. The vote of
Pennsylvania, solid for the Spencer
delegation, is much criticized. as it is
we'll known that quite number Of
the delegates are enthusiastic Blaine
men, and it is claimed that when the
time comes Blaine will receive ma
jority of that delegation, while botn
the Conkling and Bristow factions
claim that it was an indication that
the Blaine ranks were beginning to
break. The friends of all the candi-
dates continue to express high hopes
of the success of their respective
favorites, and all are working hard to
win the victory. There is compara-
tive quiet tonight; figureing and
heaving to some extent with subdued
enthusiasm. About various head
quarters there are crowds of delegates
engaged in canvassing the chances Of
candidates and comparing notes on
the situation. Conkling's friends
claim the confidence of ultimate sue
cess, but are very reticent as to the
manner of achieving the victory.
Morton's adherents express equal con-
fidence; while the Hayes and Bris-
tow men hope, in spite of appear
ances, that break will occur that will
open the way for their respective fa-
vorite's nomination, confident of their
strength. The Blaine men seem to be
anxious to hurry up the business of
the Convention, while friends of all
other candidates seem to be maneu-
vering for delay. They seem to think
that time will weaken Blaine.
Tonight there are rumors of various
- htrf Df
reliable. An arrangement by which
Ohio is to give her vote to Blaine on
the second ballot, provided it will
nominate him, Hayes to have the
second place on the ticket. In
case Blaine is not nominated
on the third ballot, his strength
is to go to Hayes for the first
place. The other is that Bristow and
Blaine have arranged to combine
their forces and effect the nomination
of Blaine for President aud Bristow
Vice-President. These are a speci-
men of the rumOrs and are given for
what they are worth. The question
of the Vice-P Presidency seems to be ex-
citing more interest tonight than at
any time before. Among the candi-
dates mentioned for the place are
Hayes, Woodford and Morgan and
Wheeler of New York, Logan of Illi-
nois, Bristow of KY, Culmback of
Ind, Hartranft of Penn, Harlan of
KY, and Taft Of Ohio. Itseems to be
the impression that no nomination
will be reached before the third ballot,
and possibly the whole day will be
moved to calling the roll of States.
