Congress and Chicago.
THE CONVENTION AND THE ADJOURNMENT CUES
TON.
The democrats are awaiting the result of the
balloting at Chicago with almost as much in
terest as the republicans. On the Speakers
table in the House are the electoral count reso.
luton and the deputy marshals and chief SUI
pervsors of elections bills. 1t is desired to pass
the resolution changing the method of count
ing the electoral votes before Congress adjOurns,
and II possible to secure action on the two other
political measures The democrats fear that
II Grant or Blaine Is nominated the republi-
cans will come back from Chicago determined
10 put In month OF campaign work at the pub
lie expense before adjournment. The demo-
Gratis are much more solfdihed on the adjourn
ment question now than they were month
ago. Tie tariff reformers know that 1t Will be
Impossible to accomplish ANYTHING If Congress
understand this fact. Hence, a great majority
Will support any resolution for adjournment
which the Senate may pass.
THE BREAK FOR GARFIELD.
At 1:30 pm. to-day Mr.. Blaine'S friends at the
Capitol began to abandon all hopes Of his nom
nation. The news of the break in Garffeld's
favor was not altogether a matter of surprise.
An analysis OF the ballOting previous to the
S4th ballot showed that it was almost impos-
sible that either Blaine or Sherman could OBJ
tain the nomination. Grant was certain to
IL,
Blaine could not have secured enough votes
had shermans strength gone to pieces to give
him the nomination. An Ohio republican OF
prominence said that the sudden increase be-
tween the 18th and 33d ballots in Sherman's
vote was only temporary, and his prediction
was speedily proved true.
GREAT EXCITEMENT AT THE CAPITOL.
At 1:4O pm. the news OF the breaking up OF
Bla1ne's forces was received. 1t produced great
excitement at the Capitol. Bulletins were re-
ceived every moment at the telegraph off ;es
and great crowds assembled in the Old Hall OF
Representatives where the bulletins were dl,
played. Members were constantly running
from their seats to the bulletin boards and buck
again, and stream OF private kilograms from
Chicago were delivered to Senator's and Repre-
sentat1ves; At 1:47 pm, the news that Milne
had cast her votes for Garfield was received.
and the last reed upon which Blaines frieais
based their hopes was broken.
AT p. m. the news that Garfield had Ger
ta1nly been nominated was received at th3
Capitol. No tally had been received at that
time to indicate the result OF the thirty-sixth
ballot, but the republican members were con-
tdent that the result would be largely in Gar
House adjourn on rtoa Uoce vote, and also
on a division, the motion was carried. The
democrats demanded the ayes and noes.
cans applauded loudly. From time to time
loud cheers were given by the crowds in the
corrldors AZ 2:l5 p: 10. a bulletin was received
announcing Garfields nomination. The cheers
In the corridors were echoed by many of the
republicans on the floor.
ABOUND THE DEPARTMENTS.
Tne interest In the Chicago convention was
intensified to-day. The bulletin boards inside
and outside the departments always had big
crowd around them. The cheering was great
and more frequent than 1t has been heretofore.
SECRETARY SHERMAN
Old not go to the Cabinet meeting to-day, but
sIaid In his office calmly receiving the news.
THE THIRTY SIXTH BALLOT
created great enthusiasm. Each bulletin show
ing the gains made rapidly by Garfield, as the
blaine and sherman men combined on him
were greeted with.
THE Widest SORT OF HowLING
and fndiscriminate throwing OF hats. The an
nouncement "Garfield is noninated!n increased
the uproar on every side. But very small
part or the crowds waited to hear anything
further. The departments quoted down to a
certain extent, but there was big buzz every
Hhere; Ihe Grant men took the defeat of their
candidate greatly to heart. The Blaine and
sherman seemed almost as well satisfied as II
their men had been chosen.
