BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR BLAINE.

THE CONVENTION LIKELY TO End TO-DAY-GRANI
LosING-BLAINE MORE POPULAR THAN EVER.
[BY TELEGRAPH To THE TRTDUNEl
CHICAGO. June 4-Nidnigbt.-This has been day
of onp tedious sessions of the
members of National Committee. managers who
have the fortunes of several candidates in their
keepipg. and the many thousand of spec
tators who came to Chicago to assist In
the nomination of n candidate for the
Presidency, have been in the Exposition
Building since 10 o'clock this forenoon.
There has therefore been very little opportunity
for consultation caucusnR. electiOneerng or combl-
nations for the purpose Of promoting the nomination
of either candidate or defeat OF any. Almost the
only material that there is tonight from
which to make up a review of the general situation
has been found in the proceedings OF the Conven-
ton itself.
Think that the following opinions will be justi-
fled by the events:
First-That the Convention will begin to ballot
for candidates for President tomorrow Saturday
afternoon The cases of contested seats will probably
be all disposed of tonight. although the report OF
the Committee on Rules, which will probably give
rise 10 some debate, will have to be acted
upon in the mnrning. but the Convention
has now got 50 impatient and fatgued that it will
not consent TO much further unnecessary postpone
ment of the business for which it was convened.
Secopd-Thc whole drift In the Convention to-
day and night has been against Grant.
If his nomination appeared impossible on
Wednesday and Thursday it seems dOubly so now.
In looking over the Convention whom attempts have
been made to arouse enthusiasm for Grant not more
than onehird of the delegates have seemed to par
ticpate in the applause and this has been growing
fainter and fainter. and more and moro difficult to
start as Gran; men have met with their defeats
one after another.
Third Senator Blaine's strength in the Conven-
ton seems to beconstantly increasing. The most
significant event Of The whole day was the manner
which the first mention of Senator Blane's name
was received by the C-nycntion. Nothing like
Il had been seen in n Republican National
Convention for many years except the reception OF
the nomination OF Mr. Blaine by the Convention at
Cincinnati in 1876.
Just as the clock struck IL tonight tho Grant men
had SET up the pins for a demonstration which was
indeed remarkable, but lacked all that element OF
spOntnncity which characterized the blaine demoi-
STATIONS nor did il equal by any means the cheer
ing for Blaine which followed.
FouTth-Sherman's strength seems 10 ROMAN about
as it has been all the week. Some OF .Sher-
mans friends have done excellent work in
the Convention to-day. and have loft nothing
undOne that could advance his cause

A TRAGEDY At VEST POINT.

THE SON OF TIE sERGEANT-AT-ARMs OF THE HOUSE

NEwBURG, N. Y, June 4.-John G. Thompson, jr.,
of Ohio, son of the Sergeant-at-Arms Of the House
of Representatives at Washington. was shot and
severely wounded in the abdomen to-day at High
land Falls by Beaumont Buck, of Texas.
Both of the young men were candidates for admis-
sion TO the West Point Military Academy. and were
attending Colonel Huse's preparatory school. Buck
had been made the victim of mild form of bnziDg
bv the other students. and becoming enraged at
some of their remarks to-day, drew
a revolver and shot Thompson. Buck gave
himself up to Justice Avery, and was COM
mitted to the county Jail to await the result OF
Thompson's injuries. The bullet passed through the
latter's body, and his condition is critical. The
father Of the wounded boy has been summoned by
telegraph.
Buck. who shot Thompson. is in the County Jail
here. having been committed without bail. By adj
vice of his counsel he declines to make statement
about the immediate circumstances OF
the shooting. He declares. however, that ne

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRTBUNEl
CHICAGO, June AT the afternoon session OF the
Convention to-day the chairman of the Nebraska
delegation. which had seats near the PLATFORM
asked the presiding officer that he would take meas
ures to prevent delegates from leaving their places
on the floor and interfering with delegates from
other States.
The chairman directed that the chairman OF each
delegation would protect his delegation from OUT
side interference.
This incident attracted considerable attention
and after adjournment there was much inquiry ior
an explanation, which was given as follows:
During the speech of Mr.. Raymond, of California
in reply to General Logan Nebraska delegate ire
ouently and loudly applauded. After this had
gone on for some time, General Arthur, of New
York went over to the Nebraska delegate aud
asked him. with some excitement. II he was deie-

was General Arthur then asked him where MS
badge was. The COllOquy continued for some nm

IHE CONVENTION GIVES TREMENDOUS CHEERS Fol
BLAINE-wILD SCENES.

BLAtNE-wILD SCENES.
fBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSEl
CHICAGO, June 4.-When, at the session Tonight,
Mr. Storrs concluding. begged the Convention by its
action not to impair the energy Of the $4,000 voters
which constituted the Republican party Of Illinois,
He said nominate James G.. Blaine If you can.
At this tho galleries reused themselves
to give series Of rousing cheers. when" he sait,
'you are resting beneath balmy Summer skies, yOu
will fluid the grand old silent Soldier carrying aloft
the banner which is to the sluggards to ac-
ton"
There was a hearty cheer when Mr. Storrssad that
the Illinois Republicans would support JasG. Blame.
and a moment aftcr, when lie referred to Grant,
there was a great outbreak of applause.
Then followed perhaps tho most ex-
traordinary spectacle over witnessed In q
National Convention. The Grant men all
over the Convention sprang TO their feet and
cbrered. and cheercd and chcercd men graspcd the
flags of their States took of their coats,
opened their umbrellas and waved
them all. They screamed, ChCered
shouted and sang. Mr.. Conkling leading in the
cheering and waving his handkerchief at the CALLER
les.
The tumult began precisely ut midnight and aste
tho best part of twenty minutes. When the clamOr
had died away there was lull for
moment, when suddenly from all parts Vi tne
house there at once burst out, like q
flame, a cheer for Jamos e. Blaine. This
was simply understandable. at least in
the brief writing which is indispensable
Mt this hour. 1t is the best possible
description to say tho wonderful cheering
was heard three or four blocks away, and
the telegraph operators clicked through an eager
message to know whether tho Presidential nominal
ton had been made.
The Grant cheer was the cheer of less than
half tho Convention and only portion
of the spectators. The Blaine cheer seemed almost
unanimous and altogether amazing 1t lasted
twenty-five minutes, The Grant cheer was great
and hearty, but beneath tho Blaine cheer 1t was
drowned as a cup of water might be under the
EnlIa of Ninpnrn.
