 or had anything to do with the nomination or convention. have asked no delegate to vote for me, have written to no men. To no one have said one word in any way, man. T1aH f1Pa ahaTH hot in hA strued to be bid or 8 move toward this nomination." Soon the booming of the old cannon on the wharf at Hallowell, said to be the one that was used on the Boxer during her fight with the Enterprise, gave the first boom for Blaine that was sounded in | the State.

 Generally Satisfied. WASHINGTON, Jure 6.-The scenes at tho
 Capitol to-day were snlivening Bulletins
 were posted every few minutes and were awaited with the ksenest interest by senators,
 representatives and employees. MT. Edmunds awaited the news in the Vice Presidents room. Senator Sherman remained in his committee room until after the fourth ballot was announced. He abandoned hops before
 he heard that Logan had throsn his forces for Blaine. When the result was announced
 he expressed satisfaction with 8 re- signed air and said the nomination was a strong one. Messrs. Allison,

General Logan dil not go to the Capi- tol to-day. He received despetches at his residence. He said tonight: II do not care to be interviewed. I think the nomination strong one. I shall do every thing can to elect MT. Blaine. The despatch I sent to Senator Cullom voices my senti-
 ments and do not wish to say
 anything in addition now. In view of the preference shown by the great States for Blaine I deemed it my duty to recommend my friends to assist in his nomi- nation" Mir. Logan refused to discuss the question of the vice presidency. Senator Hswley said: ''It will be an earnest campaign and the Republicans will be victorious" President Arthur was at the White House until late in the afternoon. As soon as Blaine was nominated he sent him congrat- ulatory dispatch. The President said the result was perfectly satisfactory to him and he hal every confidence in Blaine being elected.

 Blaine. He considers Blaine one of
 the great leaders of the party. Postmaster General Gresham refused to talk. Judge Kelley says Blaine will defeat any man the Democrats may nominate. Rep resentative HIscock declined to make con-
 parisons. Blaine he feels sure will carry
 Maine in September and Ohio and West Vir ginia in October and consequently New
 York State by default iu November together
 with all the other States needed to insure his election.
