mept To expeciant and thirsting lips,
which would fain quaff the elixir that
fame offers TO her ambitious votaries.
The political sky is dark-the political
is dense, with rumors of the
most imossible and startling character,all
of which find acceptance with some por
lions of the eager crowd, who are
hanging upon every breath which
is waited upon the speculative
breeze The coalition OF
GRANT AND SHERMAN,
the Withdrawal of Blaine, the

munds, have all been canVassed
and IA hundred other schemes equally as
improbable as the former, and still the
result is yelled from mortal sight, al

8; Sherman s. On the S0th ballot

the hero of the Shenandoah. The gen.

i forces in electing Garfield. The motion
u to make the nomination unanimous was
carried with hurrah.
Things began to grow feverish imme

II dent that the goose was soon going to be
+, cooked. On the Saith ballot Wisconsin
e broke for Garfield, running his vote up
+ toll. Gen. Garfield rose to his feet, and
y earnestly deprecated the use of his name,
declaring he was not and would not be
candidate for the nomination. The
35th ballot was taken, and Indiana
e Maryland also gave him 9; and his total
mounted to so. On the Seth ballot
e Connecticut led off with IL votes for
y Garfield; Illinois followed with 4 Indi-
l ana came in with &C., and by this time

II delegations were on their feet, the whole
e hall was in confusion, and the chairman
II lost control of the proceedings. Iowa
n was called, and went TO Garfield with %
} votes. Then came Kansas with votes;
u and the confusion became tremendous.
e Louisiana followed without votes for
:, Garfield. Next came Maine, and
!, gave him fourteen votes. This
o seemed to settle it, inasmuch

" abandoned the contest in Garfields ia
a. vor, and there were enough Blaine men
q yet unpolled TO pull him through.

lie field line New York gave him 20
a. votes, Ohio 43, and Pennsylvania 81,
Of running him up to 1923. 1t was no long

or states was called again in order To per
to feet the record, and then the result was
a announced, showing Garfield to have
