WASHINGTON June 17-As soon as New
Yorks vote on the second ballot was re-
ported, Blaine sat down and wrote his con-
gratulatory dispatch to Hayes, and it was on
the wires to Columbus before the footngs of
the ballots were received in Washington.
Immediately after the formal announcement,
Blaine rode out with his oldest son and was
received with loud cheers wherever crowds
were assembled on the streets. He received
dispatches throughout the day in his library
in company with some dozen friends, whom
he continually assured that Hayes would ulti-
mately be nominated. He was fully i'm
pressed with the probability of a successful
combination against him, and except during
the twenty minutes following the sixth ballot,
did not expect the nomination. He was al
together the coolest and least excited of the
company. During the evening his residence
was crowded with callers, whom he received
with cheerfuness, exhibiting no trace what
ever of disappointment, and discussing the
events of the day. He says the immediate
cause of the failure of his friends to secure
his nomination, was the holding back of the
votes for him from Pennsylvania after the
third ballot This, Blaine attributes to ficti-
tious strength temporarily lent to Hartranft

The WOnten'S Gift.

The ladies Of New York State have pre-
sented to the Womens Pavilion at the Cen
tennial Exhibition beautiful banner of
richly embroidered blue silk, which measures
twelve by eighteen feet. 1t is inscribed with
these words worked in letters of gold:
"From the daughters Of New York to their
sisters of the Union. 1776-1S76. The Lord
God be with us as He was with our fathers. .
The following ode was written by William
Cullen Bryant to accompany the banner:
This flag by gentle fingers wrought,
That with the breath of Summer plays
May its fair drapery only float
Ger happy crowds on festal days
And far, far may be the hour
That calls the children of the land
Amid the battles iron shower,
TO bear il with fearless hand.
Yet when the foes of freedom fling
The bolts of war with deadly aim
million gallant hearts shall spring
TO shield its sacred folds from shame.
This is, SO far the gem of the Centennial
year.
