The story Of Tuesdays proceedings il
quickly told. The convention was called to
order at 1890 A. NJ, and balloting was resum-
ed ut once. The first ballot, tie 18th, showed
that each candidate had substantially the same
strength when the voting ended the night

When the roll was called for the 3Gth bal
lot. the Blaine and Sherman States began to
cast their votes for Gen. Garfield from the
beginning of the call Ii soon became plain
that the contest was between Grant and Gar
field. feeling of intense excitement soon
reigned, and the crowd broke out repeatedly
into tremendous cheering, interruptng the
call. The band began TO play Hail to the
Chief and cannon began to fire a salute be
fore the call was finished. General Garfield
once rose to point of order, and said his
name should not be used without his consent
but the call went on regardlessly. The ballot
resulted as follows

An ALL-DAH IS STRUGGLE, WITH no INTIMATION
OF THE FINAL RESULT.
Monday, the fifth day of the convention,
was entirely devoted to baloting. and after
twenty eight ballots an adjournment was had
for the night, leaving the question of the can
dldacy as much an unsolved problem as it was
before a ballot was ordered. After the first
half-dozen ballots, it was evident that no
nomination would be made during the day
session, and when in the evening the first
and second ballots were but repetitions of
those of the day session, it was evident that
there had been no agreement among delega-
tions, and parts Of delegations, to make Il
break either in favor of one of the leading
candidates or one of the dark horses, and that
no nomination would be made during the SEES
sion
The tenacity with which the supporters of
the several candidates chung to their favorites
throughout the days struggle was remarka-
bic. Gen. Grant began with 3O4 votes He
reached his highest vote on the fifteenth bal
lot 800, while his lowest vote-that of the
twenty fifth ballot-was 302. The vote on
the last ballot was 3O7. In eleven of the
twenty eight ballots his vote was sos. Sena-
tor Blaine's first vote was 2S4 his highest
vote, on the fourth and fifth ballots, was 2Sj
his lowest, on the twenty-third, was PA, and
his last vote was 279. In one-fourth of the
entire number of ballots, Mr. Blaines vote
was Isl. Secretary Sherman's first vote was

Take Off Your Hat.

Certain critics have defined the essence Of
comedy as arising from the ludicrous when
put in juxtaposition with the calamitous re-
suits of hnman folly. The idea is illustrated
by the following episode: Yesterday after
noon civil case was in progress IN the mu-
nicipal court, when hoodlum named John
Leithouser, having his head bandaged with a
cloth, entered the room and requested war
rant for man named VIM. Gushing. OBJ
serving the woe-begone appearance of the
man, Bailiff Mullins stepped forward and re-
quested him to take off his hat. He ex-
planned that he had been knocked in the
head with fence rail, and could not remove
his hat ON account of the CHASTITY appearance
of the cut.
Baiiitf Mullins sat down satisfied. The
man edged up towards the bench, when
Clerk O'Brien, fully impressed with the i'm
portance of maintaining proper etiquette
in tie court room, told him to take off his
hat. The man explained the situation and
he too was satisfied. After standing around
awhile, the court requested the man to take
off his hat. Visions of contempt rose before
the poor devil as he explained to the angry
court the reason why he wore the hat. Fin
ally, Bailiff Dowlan came in, observed the
man with his hat on, and marked him fol
his meat. "Take off your hat" said the of
fcer, aud the poor fellow looked as if he
would cave. This was too much and every
body burst out laughing. The man got his
warrant and didn't take off his hat either.

Wants $4,000 Damages.

In the district court yesterday the trial
was commenced in the suit of James Ike
against Michael Vincent, in which plaintiff
demands $4,000 damages. The alleged
damages were caused by the caving in of an
embankment April 9th, 1879, at which time
the plaintiff was engaged in making an ex-
cavation on the grounds belonging to the St
Paul & Sioux City Railroad company.
The accident took place near Mankato,
where plaintiff was employed as laborer.
The complaint alleges that the accident
was caused by carelessness ON the part OF

ALL EXPLAINED.
Why There Was n Sound of Shooting on
the Street.

Why There Was n Sound Of Shooting on
the Street.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, rang out the re-
sonant crack of revolver on the morning
air in the vicinity of the Metropolitan hotel,
Yesterday forenoon. Instantly one hundred
windows were raised, one hundred heads pop
ped out and as many voices wanted to know
VITA. was the matter. There was rush to
the sidewalk from the offices and stores and
in less time than 1t takes to write 1t, the
streets were filled with an excited populace.
One sanguine old lady armed with
broomstick, and having towel around her
lead, rushed onto the sidewalk fresh from
domestic duties, and exclaimed: SIS
this Mister Parnell; by the old dart, let me
Kiss the darlint for his mother" Every
body, in fact. was wrought up to high pltch
of excitement, and as a matter of course all
wanted to know the cause of the shooting.
As the query,to quite number, had not been
satisfactorily answered, the GLOBE offers the
following solution:
About IL o'clock drunken individual
named VIM. Brown, itching for hight aud
ugly enough to deserve good thrashing, en-
tering the st. Paul Coopering establishment,
corner of Franklin and Eagle streets, ana
attempted to pick quarrel with the fore
man, Mr.. NJ. Sutton. The latter did not
want to fight, but as Brown insisted upon
the motive, he was accommodated. An at
tempt was made to eject Brown, which was
assisted in by Officer McMahon, who put
that person under arrest. En- route to the
station Brown broke away from the officer
and started to run out Fourth street.
The officer cried halt, but as he didn't
stop worth cent, Officer McMahon drew
his revolver and fired into the air. The ruse
was successful in stopping the culprit and
drawing out an immense crowd. In the
afternoon Brown was brought before Judge
Flint and fined So, and in default of pay
ment he was committed for one week.

The Thursby Concert.

1Ao AhuibOy NoACcEs
Tbs box sheet sale for reserved seats will
be- open Friday morning, and crowded
house on next Monday night will no doubt
greet the fair cantatrice. The Rochester
Herald says:
As matter of course, tho Strakosch concert
Rochester can furnish. Most of those present
had heard Miss Thursby before, and to them
her well-trained voice was not new revela-
top. Yet they remembered her European trip
and the experience as we'll as the hOnOrs it had
brought the prima donna, and their expecta-
tions were. therefore, raised to the highest
pitch. Nor were they disappointed. Always
voice has now acquired additional smOOthness
and fexibility. She carols like bird and trills
forth melody with all the birds ease and ex-
uberance. Especially was this comparison
suggested when she sang the "Valse" by Rieci,
the most difficult of her selections. She accom-
plished the most trying runs with the greatest
ease. Her other selections, LA Calandria'
and "Rondo finale. i" from .sonambula," were
equally good, though they did not awaken the
same enthusiasm in the audience. In response
to repeated encores. she sang within Mile
of Edinboro" and ''Twickenbam Town, Miss
Thursby is a charming ballad singer, and it is
doubtful if the melodies she gave from her
repertoire last evening were not more pleasing
to the audience than the more classical selec'
tiOns.
The violinist, Adamowsk, is an artist and a
master of the instrument. His playing If
marked by smoothness and evenness of tone
and delicacy of touch. In fact SO smooth is
his Instrumentation that his skilful lingering
and bowling in Intricate passages are apt to be
overlooked. If he be lacking in nything it is
in force in the forte passages, in all of which
last evening there appeared to be something
wanting. His selections were pleasing, and he
received much and deserved applause. The
tenor, MIR. Branson, has a pleasing voice, and
sang in fairly acceptable manner. Signor
Ferranti is the Ferrauti of old, and, of course,
took the house by storm. We are pleased to
see that his voice, which some time ago was
apparently failing, has regained all of its former
strength and olearness of tone.
