the Republican party would not amount to much
in , campaign"
oGLEsBY AND HoRR
The love feast organized after adjournment,
with George b. Williams as presiding elder, was
a magnificent meeting The speech of Dick
Ogle shy was splendid and really remarkable
impromptu effort The old man was at his best.
His descriptions of the several candidates were
unusually felicitous, and what he had to say of
General Logan was given with all possible sin
cerity and earnestness. The prevalent spirit of
his speech was gravely sincere, but it was re-
lieved with frequent flashes of humor. He
captivated the immense audience. What he
said of the revision of the tariff by the Repub
lican party, which attacked questions perpen-
dieularly and not horizontally and of our
American civil-service as not Miss Nancy
affair, was particularly well received. His al
lusions to Blaine provoked demonstration, but,
carefully looked at there were unmistakable
symptoms that it was not participated in by
anything like majority of those sitting in the
delegates seats Congressman Horrs speech
was fitting sequel to Oglesby's. His strong,
high voice filed the spacious amphitheater, and
his witticisms and good humor kept the audience
in half laughter all the time.
GENERAL AND PERSONAL.
Hon. Carl Schurz said he regarded Mr.. Hen
derson's remarkable speech as in some regards
providential. 1t had shown the anti i-Blaine
men they must proceed at once to close and
compact organization.
The dispatch of General Sherman to General
Henderson was stolen by some enterprising news
paper man who asked Mr.. Henderson to let him
see it. General Henderson has not seen the
original but was compelled to be content with a
copy.
1t is stated tonight that in the Kansas dele
cation there will be break of from one to six
votes on the first ballot to Arthur. This may
be one of the reasons why there is a manfestly
than during to-day. 1t is also reported that in
the Vermont delegation to-day there has been a
strong influence to go from Edmunds to
Gresham.
When the convention met tonight the com
mittee on credentials was still unable to report,
which indicates bitter fight over the contests,
the Malone case being the great bone of conten-
ton
A remarkable scene attended the effort to ad
journ. The cry 'Ingersoll" resounded through
the building particularly from the galleries, and
was kept up by the Blaine men on the floor. 1t
was an effort for another boom, but finally good
sense prevailed, and the convention was ad
jeurned.
Hon. Edward Mcpherson had hard time to
be heard, but finally got in his Oregon dispatch,
announcing the gain of United States senator.
The proposition to issue five hundred tickets
terpreted as an attempted Logan boom or as an
effort to add to the force of the Blaine claque.
= probably meant nothing more than an effort
of its author to boost himself by little flap

Colonel Ruth Goshen, the giant, visited the
convention this morning before the body was
called to order. His appearance created much
interest, and he was greeted as "the dark
horse
Mr. Washington Hesing, of the Stats lei
tung, says the nomination of Blaine would be
very distasteful to the Germans Blaine of
Maine, would be too much for his constituency.
Governor Porter who is here with his wife,
says Mr.. Blaines candidacy wor'1 be hailed
with great enthusiasm, but the question to be
determined is how it would be regarded by the
sober conservative thought of the nation.
Colonel Maynard, of the Sentinel, is here.
The nomination will doubtless be reached to-
morrow, and probably be made.
