CHICAGO, june 6.-Considcring that all
the excitement and interest in the con-
v]ention eliminated to-day in he nomina-
ton of Mr.. Blaine for the Presidency,
there vas a very large attendance, as well
Of delegates as Of spectators, at the even
ing session. The galleries were hardly
less crowded than at any of the preceding
sessions, but there was a marked absence
OF any feeling other than of simple curl
osity. 1t was ll:l5 O'Clock when
the chairman gavel fell and he
announced that prayer would be offered
by Rev. DIR. Charles o Reilly, of Detroit.
DIR. O'Reilly is treasurer of the Irish Ma
tional League of America, and is the first
Catholic to open a Republican National
convention with prayer. 1t may be then
said that the Republicans have introduced
two new features in this convention, a
colored man as temporary chairman and
a representative of the Catholic church
invited to participate in the official pro-
ceedings on an equality with the Protest
ant ministers. DR.. O'Reilly is a life long
Republican. At the conclusion of the
prayer the choir called for the names of
the members of the National committee
which had not already been sent up. A
resolution to limit the yice-presidency
nominating speeches to ten minutes,
which might be divided between two or
more speakers was presented and passed.
The clerk proceeded to call the roll of
states Of nominations. No response was
heard till Illinois was reached, when
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, came
forward. He said the convention had
completed two of its most serious
the adoption of a platform and
the nomination ola candidate for presi-
dent. The platform was one which all
good Republicans could unite upon and
the candidate one who could beat any
Democrat living or dead, but it was still
important that the best possible man
be named for the second place. 1t
was but a matter of just recognition to
great body of soldiers-of the war for
union, that a representative from
their number should be placed on the
second place on the ticket.
THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
had enrolled more than three quarters of
lmillion men, who lately wore the blue.
The speaker then presented the name of
General John A. Logan, of Illinois.
Logan's nomination was seconded by a

2:3O the taking of the fourth ballot W 8
begun. Before the vote of Alabama was
given there was another %uproari)us scene,
in which Roosevelt and other New York
delegates took a prominent part. Il
arose" he said, ito protest against the
~technicllity that a motion to take a recess
had been made and had been decided by
the chair in the negative although calls
had been made for a vote by states. At
last a Blaine delegate appealed to his
friends to have the vote on the recess
taken by states and at 2:5s o'clock the
votes by states began. The Illinois dele
CATION requested a few moments to make
up its vote. Then it was announced as
% to %. The vote was challenged, show
ing that it was regarded as important and
the result of the polling of the Illinois
delegation was for recess, 81, against
it, 81.

votes in the negative.
The convention refused to adjourn by a
vote of 364 to 45O. The announcement
of the vote caused great cheering and
waving of handkerchief and hats. The
result was considered a Blaine triumph.
Judge Foraker, of Ohio, moved that
Blaine be nominated by acclamation. Mr..
Roosevelt, of New York, demanded a call
of the roll. Great excitement prevailed,
which Judge Foraker withdrew his
motion in order to save time. 1t was a
long time before order was restored suffi-
to have business proceeded with.

An Exciting Time.


CHICAGO, June There was an ex-
citing scene about - o'clock midnight in
Colorado's headquarters which would have
resulted in bloodshed but for the prompt
interference of police officers. A number
of Blaine's managers were holding a meet
ing with closed doors when a young man
carrying an armlul of circulars entered.
The circulars contained a reproduction of
Puck's ''tattooed men" which are being
distributed everywhere for political effect
by a few ultra anti-Blaine men. 1t APP
pears that the meeting was being held to
discuss the best means of suppressing the
further circulation of these campaign cir
culars, and when the young mar entered
theirmidstan and commenced scattering them
all over the room, there was intense cx-
element; 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 twelve other
adhcrents of Blaine. They kicked and
pounded him, and were rapidly reducing
him to Jelly, when some friends came up.
Revolvers were pulled on both sides at
once, but bloodshed was prevented by the
appearance of officers who rescued the
bold news agent.

mated for vice president was greeted with
tremendous cheering and cries of That's
