no. one rose. to second the homiha.ion.
All the noatnAtion speecies
were divislble into two sharply disanct
classes, the emotional speeches made in
behalf Of Blaine, Morton, Hayes and
Hartranft. and the strong, hard sense
efforts made In behalf Of BristOw. In

THE SPEECH OF THE DAY.
1t was a fine piece Of oratory. and
brought out the applause Of the galleries.
Turner's Georgia negro) speech on
the part of Blaine was mere
balderdash. He referred to G. w. Cur

land. wocdiord's speech in nominating
Conkling was admirable for being so
spirited an effort in behalf of go forlorn a
cause. His references to the difficulties
in the way OF Republican victories in
New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Indi-
ana were coldly received by the Blaine
men, who dislike nothing so much as to
be reminded OF the
DARK SIDE OF A PICTURE, 90 II
Whose bright side alone they insist on
seeing. Curtis was most cordially greeted
when he took the stand, and his. appeal
in faver Of Bristow was earnest and i'm.
pressive. A II @
Richard ii. Dana's speech for Bristow
was quiet and sensible. The point in II
was the declaration that the speaker was
not sure of the Republicans carrying
Massachusetts with any other man than
Bristow-a remark which was so distaste-
full to the convention that that it was EN-
phatically Kissed. The resolution against
MoSGoLrAN IMMIGRATION
Was clearly the turning of the back on
the Republican achievements and record
and plain violation Of all the logic Of
the party. Mr.. Pierce Of Massachusetts
and Mr.. Curtis of New York made an
earnest effort to have 1t struck out. but
the electoral vote OF California and Ne
vada were weightier arguments than
those of Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Curtis
and the resolution was retained. The
resolution on the money question is alb,
solutely meaningless. 1t is little better
than the Ohio Democratic resolution on
the same subject. Still the effort to re.
place it with positive declaration In "a
vor of resumption failed. The conven-
ton did not declare in favor of imitation,
but it did deliberately declare against re-
sumption. H ~t rtf.t

arrangement. This, of course, involves
the withdrawal OF Conkling. The Blaine
partisans say that no combination posi-
BILE to be made can prevent their success.
At 10 clock tonight 1t is stated on good
authority that the Bristow people oppos'
ed all schemes for an anti-Blaine league,
on the ground that the withdrawal Of
other candidates and the confusion
would benefit Blaine more than any
body else. They say their policy is fol
