384. Blaine 351, Bristow q. Hayes
was then declared by acclamation the
nominee Of the Republican party for
President. There was intense excite
ment during the last roll call. Hayes
had been gaining on previous ballots
and it was evident an effort would be
made to unite on him. When Indiana
was called on the seventh ballot, Will
Cambock, chairman of the delegation
withdrew the name of Morton. This
move was made at a critical moment,
when Blaine had begun to improve
and his nomination seemed iminent
The bulk of the Indiana votes were
then thrown for Hayes. Kentucky
followed Indiana's lead and withdrew
Bristow. New York withdrew Conk-
ling and cast 81 votes for Hayes.
Pennsylvania withdrew Hartranft and
divided her vote between Blaine and
Hayes. Great excitement prevailed
during these important movements,
the opponents of Blaine justly cheer
ing Hayes, stamped until the end was
reached. The success of the stratigi-
cal move is due to Indiana; without
her action in the very nick of time,
Blaine, who was gaining as the ballot
proceeded would have been nomina-
| ted.
Tile nomination of a candidate for
Vice President was then declared in
order. On the first ballot w. A.
Wheeler, Of New York, was nomi-
mated.
The following resolutions were adj
opted.
RESOLVED, That we present as oul
candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States two dis.
tinguished statesmen of eminent abil.
ity and character, and conspicuously
fitted for those two high offices. We
confidently appeal to the American
people to entrust the administration
of their public affairs to r. B. Hayes
and w. A. Wheeler.
The usual complimentary resolutions
were passed and the convention then
amid much enthusiasm, adjourned
| sine die.
