cheers were given oy the crowds IN IN
corridors.
- At 2.l5 a bulletin was received, an
nouncing Garfeld's nomination Tn
cheers in the corridors were echoed b.
many OF the republicans on the floor, anC
n the House immediately adjourned
whereupon an extraordisary ratification
meeting was had.
Senator Blaine drive from his resi-
a dence to the Capitol and entered thu
Senate chamber. soon after the news O.
the fnal ballot had become known, and
received notable ovation of handshAk-
ing and complimentary remarks from
nearly every one Of his colleagues OF
both political parties Many of them
= expressed regret that he was not nomi-
mated, and others told him they con-
graduated themselves that he was not to
leave them, but all had something plea
l SAINT TO say 10 their colleague, woo re-
turned his thanks with his customary
cordiality and cheerfulness, and then
proceeded 10 open his afternoon mail,
and subsequently participated in the de-
bate on the sundry Amendments to the
pending appropriation bill, without ex
hibiting the slightest trace of disSppoint-
ment or discomposure. The Grant men
In Washington appear TO have taken the
defeat of their candidate very hard, but
on the other hand the friends of Blaine
and Sherman profess to be almost as
well satisfied as il their respective can
ditates had been chosen.
In the House. the public building bill
was called up and objected to, where
upon Hooker emphaticAlly declared his
intention of Directing to every PROPOSE
ton presented A lively discussion en-
sued, and the confusion was increased by
Chicago dispatches which were coming |
announcing q large addition to Gar |
| fields vote Order was only secured |
when Blackburn presented the report of i
the conferences committee on the post
| office appropriation bill, which was
agreed to. Hooker adhered 10 his inten-
| ten Of Directing to every proposition,
and motion was made to adjourn.
During the call of the roll there was a
great deal of excitement shown by men,
bers over the convention news, and when
Garfeld's name was called it was greeted
with applause on both the republican and
democratic sides of the chamber. The
announcement, which came in soon
afterwards, that Garfield had been nomi-
bated, was received with loud cheers and
applause from members, who had as
sembled in the lobby back of the speak
that the roll call WAS interrupted. Mem
bers gathered in groups and discussed the
nomination, which appeared to meet
with general approval from republicans,
and which was conceded by democrats to
be strong one. The second call OF
Garteld's name was the signal for q
burst of applause from republicans. The
motion was finally carried, and accord
lngly the House adjourned
