On the thirty-sixth ballot, after
one o'clock to-day, the Hon. james
A. Garfield, United States senator
from Ohio, was nominated by the
republican convention at Chicago
as a candidate for president of
the United States. General Garfield
is a man of acknowledged ability,
recognized by men of all parties as a
powerful political leader and distin-
guished soldier. During the war he
first came into prominent notice as
the chief of staff of General Rose
crans' military family, and at the fed
eral defeat in the battle of Chicka-
mauga he won renown for meritori-
Gus services in that san
culinary encounter. Since peace has
eigned, General Garfield has been a
prominent and gradually rising politi-
clan from Ohio, and in the eyes Of
many of his opponents he stood at the
head of his party in congress. In
the face of his acknowledged strength
and capacity it behooves the democrats
to look well to the chieftain they
choose at Cincinnati on the twenty
second instant. Mr.. Garfield is
q native Of Orange, Cuyahoga
county, Ohio, born November
10Th, 1881, graduated at Williams
college, Mass, in 1856, was a member
Of the state senate of Ohio in 1859
and 60, served as Colonel of the And
Ohio volunteers in the early part Of
the war, was made brigadier general
in 1862, and was elected to the 38th
congress from the 10Th district. He
has been reelected seventeen times,
receiving II, ,l66 votes on the last oc-
casiOn, against 1O,7Ol cast for the dem
Ocrat and national candidates.

CHICAGO, June 8.-The sixth day
of the proceedings of the national re-
publican party began as usual about
half an hour later than the time fixed
at adjournment last evening. Rumors
of changes and breaks which prevailed
on the streets this morning, and the
belief that there would be either
nomination, or at least a decided
change in complexion of the matter
of votes to-day, caused the audience
to gather at an early hour and in
usual numbers, and the usual compli-
ments were made by the galleries to
Gen. Logan, Gen. Garfield and Conk-
ling. Everything is in a feverish con.
dition. The Grant men and anti
Grant men were in caucus last night,
the latter until near four o'clock, but
without reaching a common basis
of action. A New York delegate says
that the plan of the Grant leaders
is to cause some of the southern dele.
gates to break and go to Window.
This will prevent the votes of Mime.
sofa from going to Blaine and Sher.
man, out cause a break in the other
delegations, out of which it is ex-
pected enough Of votes will go to
Grant to nominate him. 1t is under
stood that Massachusetts, will vote
for Sherman this morning, with the
hope Of putting termination to the
contest and drive from the field both
Grant and Blaine. On the other hand
the nine Blaine delegates Of Ohio
threaten to spring Garfield and cause
stampede to him. This would at
once demoralize the Sherman forces.
Prayer was offered by Rev. DR..
Thomas, Sf Centenary Methodist
church, this city. Balloting began
Immediately. The twenty-nipth bal
| lot resulted as follows: Grant sos,
Blaine 27S, Sherman ll6, Edmupds

field 2. When Alabama was called
the chairman of the delegation rose
aud said that one of the delegates
being sick, he was authorized by him
to cast his vote. The chair ruled as
before that he could cRly accept the
vote OF delegate or his alternate.
| Garfield criticised the ruling VI the
chair, and the secretary read rule s.
Garfield held that it provided that
any delegate could not question the
correctness Of the roll call, but he
withdrew his objection when told that
the question had been raised by a
delegate who was a member from Ala.
bams. and not a member outside Of
Alabama.
There was considerable applause
when Massachusetts, recorded it
change from Edmunds to Sherman
in which delegates as we'll as the gal
leries took part.
When Virginia was called a dele
gate asked that the state bs pOlled
and when another vote was found I,
have been gained there was renewed
applause. One Of the alternates a
large was allowed to respond for al
absent delegate, whose alternate wa
also absent. After the vote was casl
the chairman of the delegation aske
, that a change be again made, accord

All of the Blaine papers describe
the enthusiasm over the mention of
Blaine's name in the convention as
simply indisscribable." They ought
to get the reporter who describes the

describe it. That is another of the
newspaper properties" that it is SIM
ply indescribable.
