Chicago News In Washington.
From our Washington Correspondence
WASHINGTON, June 8.-The crowd ga
thcred around the bulIetin.boards at the
Capitol early to-day, and | noticed that
number Of colored preachers were present
The first dispatch announced that the Blaine
and Sherman men had held conference
but it was not credited, because it was sup
posed that Mr.. Blaine could not afford tt
have public conference with the friends
OF any candidate. Soon afterwards ballo
was reported and Grant got his usual vote
There was little change in the votes OF othcl
candidates, and this state OF things con
tinued for several ballots-Grant and Blaine
alternately losing and gaining few votes.
Tue crowd was amused to see that Senator
Conklng and General Sheridan each got {
vote, and that there were breaks in Win
dom's and Edmunds's vote. General Gar
field first got one vote and then two, and
about quarter past l went Up 10 II.
GENERAL GARFIELD's BOOM COMMENCES.
This created q sensation, and the COM
the next ballot there was great excitement
when the vote OF Maine went over 10 Gar
field, and Maryland, Indiana, and other
States followed suit. The prediction was
would be nominated on the next ballot, and
this was intensified by telegram from Chi.
clgo which described the excitement there
as immense, and which said that Garield's
nomination was almost certain on the next
ballot. Sure enough, on the thirty.siXth
ballot State after State changed from Blaine
and Sherman TO him, and his nomination
was secured, the vote standing-Gartield,
399; Grant, 81. The Blaine men said
Blaine did it, and the Grant men looked as
il they wanted an earthquake or a volcano
to break out at Chicago and destroy the I'M
grateful Republicans who had refused to
nominate the General who had conquered
the Confederacy and saved the Union.
AN ADMINISTRATION VICTORY.
The nomination Of Mr.. Garfield caused
great rejoicing at the White House and in
the Treasury Department, As it was regard
ell a. an Administration victory. Dir. Conk-
ling Is regarded by the Hayes and Sherman
people as the worst whipped man in Amer
lea, and Don Cameron's disappointment is
scarcely less than that OF the New York
Senator. As for General Logan, he risked
all on Grant and lost. The rough-looking
Republicans and the negroes, who have
hung around the bulletin boards on the
avenue for days waiting for the nomination
OF the cold man," as they call him, are
worse disappointed even than Grant con-
gressmen.
SKETCH OF GENERAL GARFIELD.
The Republican presidential nominee was
born in Ohio November 10. 1881, and gradu-
ated at Williams College, Massachusetts,, in
1856. He was elected to the House OF Rep
resentatiyes in 1868, and has continued in
that body ever since. On the 4th OF March
next he will succeed Allen G. Thurman as
senator. He was minister OF the Reformed
or Christian Church before he came to Con-
gress. He is fine speaker and has been
the leader OF his party in the lower house OF
Congress recently. Mr.. Conkllng is not an
admirer OF General Garfield.
SEYMOUR AND HENDRICKS.
AS soon as the nomination OF Garfield was
a northern Democratic senator
remarked to Senator Johnston the Demo-
cratic party has now only to nominate Sey-
nOur and Hendricks to render victory GER
ain. Others said the ticket ought to be
seymour and Thurman. A Virginian Of
prominence SAYS tonight that he heard
iozen members OF Congress say that Sey-
nour and Hendricks are now the winning
ticket.
