Another Scene OF Excitement.
In the silence of the convention, by this time;
Garfield began to show signs OF excitement, his
face was flushed, but otherwise he did not ap-
pear nervous, and continued to chat with Gov.
Denn1sOn. COnkl1ng and Logan sat In their
seats quite flushed, but otherwise quiet. As
soon as the 36th ballot was officially announce:
arose at Its end and moved to make the nOmna-
tion unanimous. Logan seconded it.
The Convention Turned Into q Rat

The convention was at this point turned into
ratification meeting, and delegates from Viz
gfnia and Florida pledged the electoral votes OF
both states to the republican ticket. Mr.. Nor

per with which the nomination had been made.
He hoped to see the zeal displayed here carry
ing the lance OF the republican party into the
ranks OF the enemy. [Great and prolonged ap-
plauSe]
Mr. Logan briefly said that in union there is
strength, and he hoped that whatever strife
there had been In this convention there would
be peace now, and the party would go into the
campaign with united hands and with as
surance OF victory In November. This was also
greeted with applause.]
Mr. Cameron was called for, but did not re.

however, saying one OF their delegates had first
nominated Garfield, and Pennsylvania would
give him the largest vote given any presidential
candidate IN many years.
Mr.: Hale, OF Maine, pledged the Blaine forces

A Notable Fact.
1t is notable fact that Caleb Taylor of
Pennsylvania, first named Garfield In the con
vent1on. He first named Taylor In 1852 and one
other candidate since then, and in each instance
he was nominated ana elected. He always acted
independently OF his delegates and is an odd
character.
Great Laughter.
General Harrison, OF Indiana, who threw the
first big vote for Garfield, said he was called
upon as the only defeated presidential candidate
fields nomination, and to thank the misguided
delegate from Pennsylvania who had named
him, but who unfortunately had no staytug
qualities. This was received with great laugh,

Grant men say that the action OF the committee

them from the start. That vote continued to be
reinforced by the detection in New York and
pennsylvania, which just deprived Grant of a
majority that was the turning point against
him.
Start of the Garfield Boom.
One thing which started the Garfield boom
was the tremendous applause which he got from
the galleries every time he came into the con.
vention and spoke. His knowledge of parla.
mentary rules made his speeches clear and con-
else and impressed the convention. Had not
WashbnTn made a campaign he would undoubt-
edly have been the choice OF the Grant men as
dark horse; hut they believed he betrayed
Grant.
All OF the republican papers OF Chicago that
supported WaShourne and Blaine win S1nnorf
Garfield. New York will endeavor to secure the
vice presidency at the evening session.
