William G.. Goodloe of Kentucky also spoke in
support of the nomination. Although coming
from that Democratic section, he disclaimed

seemed to him, however. that the plain and
lily the peoples choice tapplauscl conscientously
believing that choice to be great comnoner from
Maine, he cheerfully seconded the nomination.
Thomas @. Platt Of New York also seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine, declaring his convic-
ton that with Blaine as the standard bearer Of
the party, success was assured in New York and
VICTORY IN the whole country.
GALusHA A. GROW

Gaiusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania has grown
into . familiar figure in tue convention, and his
white beard and darker mustache, his old
fashioned garrote collar and older-fashioned
black stock were readily recognized, as, in
choosing his chair for his platform, he rose to
second Blaine's nomination on behalf of the
majority OF Pennsylvania delegates. Even
his audience, however, had grown a little weary
of speech-making on one theme, and applauded
out of time and tune until Gen. Henderson
threatened to clear the galleries.
In excellent taste Luke A. Staley, one Of the
strongest John Sherman men in the convention,
secured silence by reminding the convention
that If they were not gentlemen. as we'll as Re-
publicans, they should be. MIR. Grow was not
again interrupted, and wisely concluded in
short order.
The roll Of states went on until New York
was reached, whenitbnrstupon the Blaine men,
as thlnderonsly as thousands of throats could
voice it, that Arthur had friends in the conven-
ton: that there were other coats, hats, hand
kerchiefs, umbrellas, banners, flags, sheets of
paper and ''an those other moyables'
besides the sort owned by the
Maine coherents. Marten ]. Townsend
got on the platform. His manner at first was
suited to the matter of his speech, and both were
in the line of policy adopted by the Arthur men
to avoid sensationalism and appeal soberly to
the business interests OF the country.
Like a clarion after q hoarse call rang out
the voice of Gen. II. H. Bingham of Philadel-
phia, the first seconder Of Arthur, ard the i'm
mediate successor of Mr.. Townsend. His
mention of Arthur name was again the signal
for applause, not long but loud. People who,
grown tired, were about to leave the hall, sat
down and listened ~intently, and were not I'M
rewarded.
His tribute to his candidates action in the
trying times succeeding Garicld's death was
we'll and worthily given. TIL familiar figure
Of John R. Lyrch tcolored) next appeared, and
the audience listened to the pleasant and pene-
trating tones of his mellow voice with unde-
monstrative attention. He seconded the nom-
nation of Arthur.
Patrick II. Winston, Jr. of North Carolina,
followed Mr.. Lynch, and was the third secon-
der OF .Arthur's denomination. There was a
suspicion of Fourth Of Julylsm about the speak
er.
p. q. s. Pinchbeck of New Orleans, a hand
som colored man with an lron..gray beard, WAS
the Louisiana seconder for Arthur.
Judge Laraker of Ohio nominated John Sher-
man in an appropriate speech. There were in
terruptions enough, but he kept his good hui

period, left the convention with the impression

but the most effective popular speaker of the
evening.
Henry Holt, of Mount Sterling, KY, seconded
the nomination. Far down on the list is Yer
mont, and the hour had gone beyond the midst
of night when ex-Gov. John d. Long of Massa-
chusetts took his solid stand to nominate the
SOD of ssthat brave little state" He para
phrased, in opening, the often quoted sentences
of Garfield, appealing from the tnmult OF a
convention to he impassioned judgment Of
the fireside.
Gov. Long grew more and more toward the
higher eloquence which convinces without
rousing to excitement His words were as pen
etrating as his straightforward gestures, hor-
i~zontally from the shoulder moment after mo-
ment we're impressive through their very awk-
wardness. Every movement he won the deep
er attention of his hearers. Every movement
grew apace.
When he nominated ssThe honorable, Irepeat,

and left the platform, the state did not have to
lead in the applause, nor was it all for Ed

Awarm flush relieved the customary pale
meas of his fine face, his action, without losing
its customary majestic grace, had an unaccus-
toned spring andenergy and the suppressed ex-
element of the occasion lent a new thrill to
his voice. Like Judge Vests speech, as fine,
Curtis fell on an audience too spellbound for
applause, too interested for interruption.

delivered Senator Edmnnds, of all candidates,

to the convention.
