The twcnty-GIth ballot brought
Grant down to 302, the lowest yoi.
Mr.. Conkling laughed, but it was not
Il hearty laugh, Tom Murphy waved
his llat-bnt why?
Outside the building at least five
thousand people were now assembled
to whom an illuminated TRANSPARENCY
made Known the result of ballot after
ballot. Their shouts rang through
the air'and added confusing clements
to the enthusiasm already generated in
the hall.
One Of u,c funny points in the Con-,
vcntlon is the rising Of the entire au-
d!encc at the close Of every roll call.

were taken without much change. On

changes were made and the final re-
suit was Garfield 399, Grant 311,
Blaine ~.
The m,dienc in the galleries sprang to
their feet as did also the great body of
antl-Grant delegates on thc floor with
enthusiastic cheers, and for few mo-
mclts there was scene Of the widest
excitement. The banners of Massa-
cl!dsclts, Maine, California, Vermont,
Michigan and other anti-Gram States
moved towards and surrounded tho
Ohio delegation. The military band u
the hall struck up "Rally round the
iiag,' in which the immense audience
joined with great voice and in remark
ably good time. The nomination was
made unanimous amid great entbusi-
aSn.
