speech. frequently eliciting demonstrations OF
applause. The sentence Nominate lanes
G. Blaine, if you will, was the signal for
another grand outburst of applause, which
was encored and intensified, when he I'm

those who now shout in the galleries shall
by and by be reposing under the influence
of the summer sun, the followers of the
grand old silent soldier will still be found
wide awake and watching by their camp

EXCITING SCENE.
III. scene which followed aud continued
for several minutes was most exciting, part
of the galleries and the Grant men IN the
Convention standing and shouting, the up
roar partially dying away and then breaking
out anew. Although the scene OF excite
ment was continued for a long time, 1t was
clearly apparent that it was not participated
in by so large proportion of the audience as
upon the occasion of Pixley's allusion to
Blaine.
Conkling was conspicuous in leading the
cheerers, first, by waving his handkerchief,
and later by standing on his chair and way
ing the illuminated little banner placed to
designate the State of New York delegation.
Finally some one started the campaign
songs "WeM Rally Round the Flag, Boys, .
and "The Battle-cry of Freedom"
al IA NollpH for three
cheers for Grant, which were given with a
will. Then three cheers for Blaine were
called for by some one on the floor, and the
shouts that sprang from thousands of Threats
was more deafening than anything which had
preceded it. The Grant men on the floor
evidently were not aware of the cause OF the
fresh outburst, and soon were on their feet
aiding in the pandemonium of noise and con-
fusion.
At this time nearly every person within
the hall was on his feet, each cheering for
his own favorite Flags, shawls, parasols,
hats and all other movable things within
reach were swung furiously to and fro. Bob
Ingersoll, selling lady's shawl, waved it
frantically from the platform in the center OF
the stage, just back of the Chairman. A hne-
looking lady. with a flag in one hand and
parasol in the other, swung them to and fro,
and repeated time and again: Hurrah for
Blaine" She appeared to be in company
with Governor Jewell of Connecticut. Finally
she obtained two flags, and with one IN each
hand, continued her enthusiastic efforts as
long as the uproar lasted. 1t may safely
be said that no public assemblage ever be-
fore witnessed such scene. People seemed
actually to have lost their senses in the giddy
whirl.
Half an hour elapsed before the Chair made
any effort to call the Convention to order.
At this time Hale of Maine was seen stand
ing above the surging crowd, upon the should
ers of some friends, waving the banner OF
Maine, and with the banners of the Blaine
States grouped closely about him.
At last comparative order was restored,
when three cheers were asked for and given
to the nominee of the Convention, and Storrs
resumed his remarks, to be interrupted by
renewed cheers upon hisreferring to Sherman.
He closed with an earnest invocation tor JUS
tice and unity as the presage for sure victory
The Chair announced that the time for the
minority had expired, and that twenty min
utesl time remained to the majority.
There were loud cries for Ingersoll, who de-
clined to respond, because he was delegate
only by proxy.
Conger explained this to the Convention,
and asked permission for Ingersoll to be
heard. There were loud cries of 6 Ingersoll ,
"Let him speak = NO" eyes"
Conkling objected.
Coprer said: 1.-The objection comes
from the man from New York" Conger in
sisted on the right of Ingersoll, though q
proxy. to be heard. "Mr. Logan, himself,
he said, twas here only as proxy"
Pixley said he had come 5000 miles to at
tend deliberative convention. GCries o
