dissolved this programme, and
when il had flashed on the Conven.
ton that Blaine was about to throw
his forces for Garfield, n sudden
impulse seized tho entire anti.
Grant element, and with the con.
sciousness Of 4 fellow feeling these
factions rose to their feet in the
midst Of the call Of States and BE-.
gan cheering for Garfield,
rs the voting proceeded and il
became evident that the IIdmumds,
Washburnc and Sherman forces
were all going with the Blaine
crowd the Grant leaders began to
skip around The hall to make one
desperate effort to prevent M cIrc.

ALL rs VAIN.
COnkling and Logan both went
over 10 the Wisconsin delegation,
whose votes, if cast for Garfield,
would settle the business, but they
wrestled in vain, and when the vote
of tho State was announced the
Convention did not wait for the
balance Of the call, hut immediate.

the inmates ofan immense insane
asylum had broken loose and were
engaged in tho diversion Of trying
to out yell each other.
THE OVATION To TIE VICTOR.
For n little while the nominee of
the Convention was in danger Of
either being crushed or smothered.
Some ono champion of each State
began hurrying with its banner to
wave over his head, and the dis.
senting members of the delegation
sometimes engaged in lively tus-
se!s to prevent thOir banner being
used for such purposes. But the
banners all got together over the
head Of the nominee, with ono or
two exceptions. 1t is probable that
as in the case Of the banners borne
by the delegates the banners borne
BY tho Republican party in each
State, will come up willingly to be
waved over tho head of the nominee
Of the Convention.

STRENGTH.
While he will disappOint the en-
pectations of some, he will, his
friends claim, unite the entire
strength of the Republican party.
and. they confidently assert, it will
require tho full vote of the Demo-
cratic party to beat him.
WHAT DEMOCRATS MUST no.
More than that, it will require
that tho Eominee Of tho Cincinnati
Convention shall evon be Il more
popular man in his party then
General Garfield is in the Rcpubli-
can party. II will require that the
Democratic party OF West Virginia
fight along side Of Il State that will
be full OF enthusiasm for the Re-
publican nominee, and with the
chances Of victory in Ohio largely
in his favor. There are therefore
some reasons why the Democratic
party in those two States might
have preferred to beat some other
man, who would not make them
work so hard in October; Grant
or Blaine, or Sherman, for exam
pie.
Az AWFUL. WASTE OF CROW.
We mourn the waste Of so much
crow, such fat, juicy birds, that will
so begging in tho market. But il
will be glory enough to defeat the
man the Republicans put up rs
their champion. No matter who
he is.
GARFIELD UNDER FIRE.
Garfield looks right vol on the
surface, hut when we have turned
him over and looked at him from
all sides ofa searching campaign,
perhaps, even the Republicans will
not be satisfied with him. A crowd
on the pavement near by, are al
ready discussing his Credit Molil.
