The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1876-06-23

When the roll was called for the seventh bal
lot 1t was evident that the crisis had come, and
that 1t WINS now choice between Hayes and
Blaine. Then came the dsagreeable necessity
OF withdrawing favorite candidates. Blaine's
strength was increasing among the southern
delegates, and the Indiana delegation held
hurried consultation in committee room, when
1t was determined to transfer their votes
to Hayes. The call progressed, and
when Kentucky was reached Gen. Har-
Ian Withdrew the name of Mr. Bristow,
at the same time returning thanks to
the States that had supported him, and an
nounced the solid vote OF Kentucky for Hayes
At this stage the New Workers retired for con-
sultation. While they we're absent Mississippi
voted solid for Hayes, Nevada ditto, South Car
olina ditto, each followed by prolonged APP
plause. New York returned and cast sixty one
votes for Hayes and nine for Blaine. Ohio, of
course, voted for Hayes and Pennsylvania
WAS divided-thirty for Blaine and twenty
eight for Hayes. This determined the
hesitating and wayering delegates of
South Carolina Tennessee, Texas, and the
two Virginias to make Hayes their candi-
date. The remainder OF the roll was called
aud the result announced that Governor Hayes,
of Ohio, hau received 384 votes, Blaine 35l
votes Bristow II votes, and the great struggle
was over. rmrl rEt
When the vote was announced, Mr.. Frye, OF
Maine, moved that the nomination be made
unanimous, which WIS carried amid great en-
thusiasm. aEU .n
The convention then proceeded to ballot for
candidates for the Vice-presidency, and the fol-
lowing gentlemen were put in nomina-
York Marshall Jewell, of Connecticut
Stewart L. Woodford of New York
Joseph r. Hawley, OF Connecticut, and F. T.
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey. The call OF
the roll proceeded rather languidly. Half q
dozen men cast the votes OF heavy delegations,
and the crowd grew thin. When Tennessee had
been reached Mr. Wheeler had received over
800 votes, and it was apparent that he war
nominated. Mr.. Kellogg, of Connecticut
withdrew the name of Mr.. Jewell, and moved
that Mr.. Wheeler's nomination be made
unanimous, which was accordingly done. Foul
years ago all the interest conferred In the fight
for vice-president and the members OF the
convention remained in their seats to the
close. This time the second officer OF the
Government was given away almost without 8
| contest.
