x Conkl!ng objected.
ot The chair ruled the motion in order,
d and it was adopted.
le Drake, of Minnesota, offered the fol-
e lowing:

1t resignation of any member of the ma
lOnal committee, the vacancy may be

D ever state is reached which has a no.
animation to present, it may be presented

Logan inquired how many were al
g ! lowed to second nominations.

} presentation of each candidate.
; COnger asked unAnim us consent that
five minutes may be given for the second
ing OF each nomination Immediately a. ter
. TIE nomination, and it was so ordered.
Hale's motion was then agreed to and
the roll was called When Michigan
was called, James +. Joy rose and took
the platform in response to numerous
calls After some reference to the pub
lie life of his proposed nominee, be pre-
sented FOR nomination to the presidency,
James g Blaine. The mention of this |
name was received with a grand demon
stration Of applause among the audience, |
both In the galleries and on the floor. /
Inc nominating speech was not inspiring /
In Its delivery, and the demonstrations of /
applause which Interrupted it must be /
attributed to its subject alone. The re-
neWed mention of Blaine's name, at the /
/ C0DniTlEiOO of Tnu1s
| nal for another wild scene Of confusion /
and excitement, the larger half of the
audience and all the Blaine delegates
rising and cheering, waving flags, fans,
mats, umbrellas etc., most frantically.
Inc lazy who was so conspicuous in
tue remarkable scene of last night is said
10 be Mrs. Charles f. Deems, of New
York, the widow of q soldier, and the
n'g which she displayed is said to have
been Llncoln's. Again tonight she was
prominent on the platform, swinging her
nag IN one hand and hat in the other,
and cheering like mad, until bystanders
pulled her down to her seat ana tore the
nag IN their efforts to take it from her,
while she shielded it about her person
and struggled for its possession. The |
confusion continued for full ten minutes
when n loud-veiced delegate succeeded in
attracting attention and demanded to | {
know whether tbs convention was not
capable Of protecting itself from the mob
in the galleries.
Pixley, of California, seconded the |
nomination Of Blaine, as follows: II
