10 able 70 sgTee, COnger moved that tn
les RATIONAL committee should fill the va
nd cancy.
ng Conkling objected
lot The chair ruled the motion in order
nd and it was adopted.
ne Drake, Of Minnesota, offered the fol-
lie lowing:
Ter RESOLVED; That in case of the death OF
II resignation of any member of the ma
10nAl COMMITTEE the vacancy may be
OF filled by appointment by the central
he COMMITTEE OF the state, territory or dis
no trict. Adopted.
Id Hale, Of Maine, moved the call of roll
tie of states in alphabetic order, and when
en- ever state is reached which hiss a no.
nination to present, it may be presented
re | under the rule alre-dy adopted.
Logan inquired how many were al
he lowed to second nominations.
r The chair said the rule made no pro-
s, vision for speeches in seconding q nOmi
s nation, but allowed ten minutes for the
TO pres eatstion of each candidate.
Is ConRer asked unanim 1us consent that
r five minutes may be given for the second
ing OF each nomination immediStaly after
'e Il nomination, and it was so ordered.
: Hale's motion was then agreed to and
}. the roll was called When Michigan
d was called, James F. Joy rose and took
I bHC PAabAOiAl III AcspOubH u numerous
!. calls AMER some reference to the pub
g lie life of his proposed nominee, be pre-
sented for nomination to the presidency,
! James G Blaine. The mention of this
g name was received with a grand demon
g stration or applause among the audience,
l both In the galleries and on the floor.
The nominating speech was not inspiring |
} IN its delivery, and the demonstrations OF |
applause which interrupted it must be /
attributed to its subject alone. The re-
, neWed mention of Blaine's name, at the /
conclusion of joys speech, was the zig
J nal for another wild scene OF confusion /
J audience and all the Blaine delegates
rising and cheering, waving flags, fans,
hats, umbrellas. etc., most frantically.
The lady who was so conspicuous in
the remarkable scene of last night is said
TO be Mrs. Charles +. Deems, of New
York, the widow of soldier, and the
fsg which she displayed is said to have
been Lincoln'5. Again tonight she was
prominent on the platform, swinging her
flag in one hand and hat in the other,
and cheering like mad, until bystanders
pulled her down to her seat ana tore the
nag IN their efforts to take it from her,
while she shielded it about her person
and struggled for its possession. The
confusion continued for full ten minutes,
when loud-veiced delegate succeeded in
attracting attention and demanded to
know whether the convention was not
capable of protecting itself from the mob
in the galleries.
| Pixley, of California, seconded the
nomination Of Blaine as follows:
'Alr. President and Gentlemen Dele

ance Of q prominent duty. By the choice

all the sons and daughters of this Chris 0t
tian commonwealth, Washington Ter VI
ritory, Idaho and Arizona, Oregon, Ne SO
vada and CGliforis have sent US united III
delegation to cast al unbroken vote for 81
the distinguished statesman and senator pl
from Maine. In him we recognize dis n(
tinguished ability, the unhinching nerve re
which is ofttimes demanded in the per- ca
fo,mance Of public duties, the possession ia
of an unstAIned name which partisan al
malice has been unable to blacken. The re
possession of Draws heart that embraces tr
IN its magnet the sympathy Of all his CO
countrymen who love their country, | 10
honor its institutions and obey its laws. BY
He is gifted, eloquent and brave. He is "
patriotic, honest and trLe He has been co
trusted in long public service and msy be sc
trusted. He will carry with his great ru
office no personal or party resentments. az
He will bring to the discharge Of his Off ms
cisl duties no local nor sectional preju- he
dice. He is broAd-mirded, cOmprehen- tn
sive and generous in the exercise Of an Z
undauDted moral courage. He will dare as
to defy the baser political elements and OF
delight to surround himself with the best tn
and ablest men of the nation. He will al
call into the councils of his administration eI
tue tried and honored and honest men of llt
his party. He will assert to the fullest VI
extent the power and the perOgatlves of W
the presidential Office to secure TO the IN
humblest citizen the protection of the c.
law. He will, in the performance Of Eis &C
executive duties, snlrk no responsibility ut
nor seek to avoid any duty required of 70
him by the Constitution and the law. His at
nomination will violate none of the time st
honored traditions of the country, that in 81
their long-coDtinued existence and force NJ
have become the building of thu unwrit- b
ten law of the land tradition that al
ought to be more inviolsble than formu- az
lated laws, and as sacred Us the written [!
Constitution of our forefsthers. His VI
nomination is demanded by majority &C
of the delegates from solid republican pr
north, and ought to be conceded by "
solid south, that has everything to re- cl
ceive and nothing TO give but honor. OF
Give US this gentleman as candidate and IL
we will pledge TO yeu the service Of W

We have never been surprised or been off pl
duty; have never hinched a fight, nor Ii
lost a presidential battle. We have never eI
allowed n democratic electoral vote TO be vi
deposited in the electoral urn since we 70
have been welcomed to the sisterhood of "
