The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1876-06-22

When the roll was called for the seventh bal
lot it was evident that the crisis had come, and
that it was now a choice between Hayes and
Blaine. Then came the disagreeable necessity
of withdrawing favorite candidates. Blaine s
strength was increasing among the southern
delegates, and the Indiana delegation held a
hurried consultation in committee room, when
it 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 were absent Mississippi
voted solid for Hayes, Nevada ditto, South Car
DINA 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 wavering delegates of
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and the
two Virginias to make Hayes their candi-
date. The remainder of the roll was called,
and the result announced that Governor Hayes,
of Ohio, hau received 1874 votes Blaine 351
votes. Bristow 81 votes, and the great struggle
was over.
When the vote was announced, Mr.. Frye, of
Maine moved that the nomination be made
unanimous which was carried amid great en-
thusias1n.
The convention then proceeded to ballot for
candidates for the presidency: and the fol-
lowing gentlemen were put in nominal
ton: VIM. A. Wheeler, of New
York; Marshall Jewell, of Connecticut
Stewart L. Woodford, Of New York
Joseph r. Hawley of Connecticut, and Z. L.
Freinghuysen, of New Jersey. The call OF
the roll proceeded rather languidly. Half a
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 was
nominated. Mr.. Kellogg, of Connecticut.
withdrew the name of Mr.. Jewell, and moved
that Mr.. Wheelers nomination be made
unanimous, which vas accordingly done. -Four
years ago all the interest centered 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 {
contest.
