departments the excitement was high. Bul
letins of each ballot were received and dis
played. Anxious clerks crept from theil
rooms, devoured the lettering thereon, and
went back to work only to come back in a
| few minutes. Special announcements of the
result of each ballot were received by Secre-
office. Senator Blaine left the Capitol early,
and was informed at his residence by his pri-
vate wire, and the President was not lacking
for information through the telegraph opera

the result of Presidential election. While
there was cheering at every ballot, there was

lot, for nothing else would satisfy them. The
crowds around the bulletin boards at the Capt.
tol are greater than on any previous occasion

Chambers wore deserted air while the bal
loting was going on, and many Senators and
| Representatives, equipped with tally papers
and lead pencils, stood in the crowds which

States as soon as they were displayed in quick
succession, and exchanging comments, until

with applause on both the Republican and
Democratic sides of the chamber.

received with loud cheers and applause from
members who had assembled in the lobby
back Of the Speakers desk, and the confusion
was so great that the roll-c was interrupted

the nomination, which appeared to meet with
general approval from the Republicans, and
which the Democrats conceded to be strong
one.

Hawley-I have no speech to make. The
nomination made at Chicago is its own
speech, for every Republican of this
House, and our personal good will
goes with our old friend and associate,
General Garfield. [Applause.l I have no
doubt from what have seen and heard that
this event, this consummation, is in the very
highest degree satisfactory to every Republi-
can here, whatever may have been his per-
sonal preference. lApplause We have
been warmly divided in the past. We will
be much more warmly united in the future.
Loud applause I think one result will be
I am supposing that there are no Democrats
hereto compel an excellent nomination on
the other side, so that the country we all love
will be certain of a good President for the
next four years personally, whatever his po-
