long-continued and vociferous applause,
though not such general and spontaneous
cheering. His mention OF the name OF
Grant was received with renewed demon
stratious, lasting two or three minutes.
Combines PANYGERIc or HIS NOMINEE.
Conk'ing's speech was an eloquent pauy-
eeric OF The life and services OF Grant. The
need Of the hour was not candidate who
can carry the States which are surely Re-
publican, who can carry doubtful States
South as we'll as North. Grant could carry
the doubtful State Of New York, and sew
era in the South. [AppIause.l He briefly
reviewed the third-term objection to Grant,
and urged that there was no objection to
any man weighed In the balance and not
found wanting. [Cries OF "Time,"
"Time," but he paid no attention to them,
and was soon permitted to proceed
Towards the conclusion he said the Con-
vention was master OF the supreme oppor-
tunity. IL can make the next President,
and also make sure OF his peaceful inaugu-
ration. IL can break that power which MIL
dews the South. Democratic success is
menace TO order and progress. which this
Convention can overthrow and emancipate
the solid South. 1t can make the Repubii-
can army march to certain victory with its
greatest marshal at its head.
As Mr.. Conkling took his seat there was
another scene Of disorder and immense
cheering by the supporters OF Grant, which
continued fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Bradley, Of Kentucky. seconded
Grants nomination in q briefly eloquent
6ye.minutes' sDeech.
SHERMAN IN THE FIELD.
When Ohio was called Mr.. Garfield, amid
great cheering, advanced TO the same POSI-
ton which COnkIing had occupied. When
order was restored he said that he was
always touched by sentiments in honor OF
great and noble men. He had seen the sea
in It's fury Of storm. 1t was grand sight,
but he remembered that, after all, it Is the
calm level OF the sea from which all heights
and depths are measured. He counselled
them to calm and quiet consideration in the
hour OF determining their duties here. APP.
plause.] He then proceeded to place the
name Of Sherman in nomination.
AN UNRULY FEW KISSED DOWN.
The noise which followed Sherman's
nomination came from those who made up
from persistent effort what they lacked in
numbers. The Chair did not seem to feel
called upon to make any effort to check it,
and so much additional time was wasted,
until finally storm Of Kisses reduced the
unruly to comparative quiet. Mr.. Winken.
OF Wisconsin, and Elliott (cOlored), OF
South Carolina, seconded Sherman's nomi-
nation.
A YEGR0's OPINION OF THE BALLOT IN THE

graceful compliment to Blaine. He said if
any candidate went into the canvass rely
ing on the vote OF any southern State for

nee"

The Washington View Of the Situa-
ton.
from Our Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 5.-At the Capitol
this afternoon the ant.Grant men had not
only come to the conclusion that General
Grants defeat was certain, but they pro-
ceeded to dispose OF him. One said he
been there, while another declared he would
be made president OF the interoceanic ca
nal, with a salary Of $4,000 year. Gene
raj Belknap, who was on hand, continued
TO assert that bis nomination at Chicago was
a fixed fact.
THE CHICAGO EXCITEMENT AT THE CAPITOL.
There was a crowd around the Capitol
buIletin-boards early to-day, but the dis
patches were not exciting. First it was
stated that Mr.. Conkling was cheered, then
that the contested cases one by one were de-
cded. then that there was a test-yote on
which Blaine showed strength OF $50 az
against BOG for Grant on test-yOte last night. |
This pleased the Blaine men greatly, but the
Grant men drew from it crumb OF COM
tort, and said it looked as il Grant and
Sherman were uniting. The Grant men
were further revived by the denial
Of Mr.. Conkling that Grant had
written him letter asking that
bis name be Withdrawn. There was
again dull interim, during which one OF
he crowd related an incident which Oc.
cured last night He said that q restaurant |
keeper OF fine muscular development, who |
was in front Of the bulletin.board near tie |
offices on "the Avenue" pro- |
claimed that Grants Cabinet were set Of |
thieves, and when President his associates !
we're thieves. A prominent Patent.Office |
official couldn't stand It, and told him he |
vas a liar. The adventurous official was !
PROSTATE. His courage was
irst-class, but his judgment was bad.
A PREMATURE ANNOUNCEMENT.
At O'Clock a ballot was circulated at the |
Capitol, which proved to be bogus. 1t
gave Blaine, S22; Grant, 2S4; Sherman,
CO., Edmunds, SO; Window, 10. Excite
nent increased as evening approached, aud |
every bulletin-bOard and telegraph office |
ooked like a voting-place on an exciting |
,lection-day.
