Ii the action of the congregation was

however, it was wrong and ultra uires, as

PEACE AT LAST.

fEACE Al LAbTs
Doubtless the disorder would have las
ted all night had not General ,Raum, with
an unexpected sagaclty, proposed three
cheers for the victorious candidate. This
parting volley of sounds seemed to satisfy
the frenzied assemblage, and Mr.. StOrrs
concluded bis speech IN careful sentences,
fearful that he might create another scene
like the one which he had so ably succeed
ed in producing. There never was, and
perhaps, unless in the same body, possibly
never will be, such another spectacle. In
fact, the scene put Grant and Blaine III
nomination, and the speeches after this
will be tame in comparison.
THE NOMINATIONS.
Mr., Joy is q gentleman of small stature
and not of imposing presence. He came
on the platform, and took position by
the chairman. At the first sound of his
voice it was at once seen that he was not
the man to electrify an audience. A weak
voice with a poor delivery and common
place address, were not calculated to stir
up the Blaine sympathizers. yet they
nerved themselves up to the task, and put
in the applause where they thought it
right to come in. MIR. Joy first said flames
ii. Blaine," and did not correct his awk-
ward mistake until it was whispered to
him that it was James Il. Blaine.
In the midst of his speech some one In
the gallery called "Hurrah for Grant,"
which ELECTED quite a decided response,
The galleries at last became impatient.
and he was interrupted with frequent
cries of Down. Down. When his time
was out it was extended, much to the dis
pleasure of the galleries. When he con-
cluded there was, of course. a perfect
storm of applause at the mention of Blame
