pleted two Of its most serious duties
the adoption of the platform and the
nomination of q candidate for President.
The platform was one on which all good

date one who could beat any Democrat,
living or dead, but it was still important
that the best possible man should be
named for the second place. 1t was but
matter Of just recognition to the great
body of soldiers of the war for the Union
that rep sentative from their number
should be placed in the second place on
the ticket. The Grand Army OF the
Republic had enrolled more than three

speaker did not present him on behalf of
Illinois, or any other State, but Of the

Vice Presidency, n vote was taken, and
resulted in solid vote for Logan, with
the exception of New York. From that

eulars Roughly Handled.
Chicago, June 6.-There was an ex-
citiag scene about midnight in the Colo
RADIO headquarters, which would have
resulted in bloodshed but for the prompt
interference of the police. A number of
Blaine's managers were holding meet
ing with closed doors, when young
man, carrying an armful OF circulars,
| entered. The circulars contained q
reproduction OF Puck's "Tattooed Man, !"
| which are being distributed everywhere
for political effect by few ultra anti
Blaine men. 1t appears that the meet
ing was being held to discuss the best
means OF suppressing the further circula.
tion of these campaign circulars, and
when the young man entered into their
midst and began scattering them all over
| the room, there was intense excitement.
One man Jumped up and catching the
intruder by the coat, pulled him to the
door and flung him out in the hall,
| where he was beset by q dozen
other adherents of Blaine. They
knocked and pounded him and were rap
idly reducing him to jelly, when some
friends came up and the officers. who
rescued the bold news agent.
