LICAN CONVENTION-TEMPO.
KARY PRESIDENT ELECTED.

'i' "hCj a. "a P'osoit" ioSh
ed battle and the appointment o
committees were the features of tn
first days session of the National Re
publican Convention. The prayer wa
d very eloquent one the battle wa
was short, sharp and decisive, and il
the appointment of committees the Con
vention simply registered and gave ef
feet to the action of the several State
delegations.
In the proposition to make ex. Senator
Clayton, of Arkansas, temporary chair
man of the Convention the various
elements of opposition to Blaine found
what was probably their only oppor
tunity tomakea a successful combination
and save an otherwise hOpelesss cause
from the appearance of defeat at the
first fire.
The choice OF Clayton by the National
Committee was not wise, neither was ii
premeditated Oh the Blaine side The
nomination came from Arthur's friends,
who hoped by this means to seduce him
from his allegiance to Blaine. The
friends of the latter turned in and gave
him the honor. Finding how their
plans had miscarriea, the Administra.
tion managers fell into a rage which
came near being a panic. This was
the situation last evening when the
Ednnnds men came to the rescue of
Mr.. ArJhur's alarmed followers with a
suggestion shrewder than generally
proceeds from that school of politicians.
II was that colored man be placed
in the field against Clayton, and that
all of the anti Blaine men in the Con-
vention unite in his support. The
Arthur men jumped at the chance for
a coalition, and thus it came about
that George William Curtis, the great
denunciator of the participation of
in political affairs, joined
hands with Flanagan, Of Texas, the
most notorious political spokesman of
the day, in making collector Of inter-
nal revenue chairman of the National
Convention. Their nomi-
nee was John II. Lynch, of Mississippi,
and in the Convention to-day he beat
Powell Clayton by q vote of 430 10 387
NIGHT AT THE HOTELS.
The scenes at the hotels o.night are
more animated than at any time since
he delegates began to assemble here.
Bands are parading the streets, the
sidewalks are jammed with people, and
he hotels are solid mass OF packed,
slow-moving humanity. The atmos-
phere of the Grand Pacific Hotel lobbies
and corridors are blue with tobacco
smoke, and the glee clubs are singing

AT THE BLAINE ROOMS.
The Blaine headquarters are the
great centre Of attraction. AT 9 o'clock
o. night there was not an inch of stand.
ng room in the immense apartment, and
he broad corridors leading to it were
ahmed with pushing, excited and
mob. A glee club in one
'orner sang Blaine songs of doubtful
excellence, but the crowd
houted its applause ut the end of each
verse and stimulated the voca,ists to
enewed exertions. This proceeding
vas occasionally varied by some dele
,ate, usually colored men from the
'outh, Jumping on table and address,

lance to the peoples choice, and pre-

ROars of applause and the sharp yells
f the excited auditors interrupted the
peaker at evey sentence, but when
ne man is exhausted another is always
ound ready to take his place, and the
leetings 60 on without a break for an

light. Next to New York, the Buck

position as as an October

'tion being divided between Blaine and

tie prospect for harmony.
The Sherman men have been unable
