speech as part of the proceedings of the Conven..

At this point Congressman Frye, who was
temporarily in the chair, read dispatch
from Oregon announcing that the Republicans,
had carried that State by not less than
1000 majority and that there was great enthusiasm
over General Garfeld's nomination. New-York was
called, and. to the surprise Of everybody no
response was made. The managers from that
State were too busy in making their combina--
tions to notice the call OF the State.
or they were determined not to put General Arthur
In nomination unless they were sure OF
sufficient number Of votes in advance to-
nominate him. Tennessee was the next
State, at which the call halted, and Congressman
Of that STATE f tSs tSs oc

tion, and standing upon his seat, and
after brief reference to the loyal support
which New-York had given to General Grant. said
that New York could not be behind any in support
of the candidate nominated to-day, he presented the
name Of General c. A. Arthur for the second
place on tho ticket. The nomination was received
with good deal of applause in the New-York dele

venton were silent.
Presently the tall, slim form Of ex Governor Dem
nisOn Of Ohio, was seen rising above the heads OK
the delegates from that State. This was the
critical point in the contest. Governor Denuison,
with Governor Foster and General Garfield
had been Secretary Sherman's nearest friends
in the whole contest and Secretary
Sherman was probably the one candidate of all who
had made the canvas that COnkling aud Arthur
would have least desired to have nomi-
mated. Now the one man who bad been
