AFTER THE BATTLE.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 10-After the storm
comes the calm. Nearly all the delegates
have left for their respective homes, and
the city is again cooling down to its usual
temperature. The hotels, which have
been crowded during tho past two weeks,
are now actively engaged in cleaning
house, and Chicago is herself again:
However, the presidential question is the
leading topic at all the club rooms and
among politicians generally, and there is
a general feeling of curiosity among the
republicans as to the result Of the Gin
cinnati democratic convention. They
consider their ticket a strong one, but
naturally they are anxious to know who
they will have to fight. Reports from all
over the country to the Chicago press IN
dictate a general unan1mity and good feel
ing among the republica MS, and rous-
ing republican victory is predicted
throughout the country.
GARFIELD's BOOM
was started by Indiana and Wisconsin,
after it had become certainty that the
convention could not unite on any of the
candidates prominently mentioned. All
during the convention Garfield had been
a leading light, and recognized with
bursts Of applause whenever he entered
the building or made any moves for his
party. AS the roll call on the 36th ballot
was proceeded with it became evident to
Grants friends that they were defeated as
state after state went solidly for Garfield.
At the beginning, many delegations had
not decided just what to do, but as the
cheers arose for Garfield after each state
had contributed her votes, there was no
hesitancY. 1t was a wild scene. The
Ohio men stood up in their seats and
shouted until their throats were hoarse,
while Grants gallant 306 stood their
ground until the last. On the whole, the
convention was orderly, and good feeling
prevailed throughout the proceedings.
1t drew larger crowd Of distinguished
men than ever before assembled at one
time in this city.
