GALUsHA A. GROW
Of Pennsylvania also spoke in favor Of Blaine's
NOMINATION..
Gaiusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania has grown
into familiar figure in the convention, and his
white beard and darker mustache, his old
fashioned garrote collar aud older fashioned
black stock were readily recognized, as, in
choosing his chair for his platform, he rose to

majority of Pennsylvania delegates Even

threatened to clear the galleries.
In excellent taste Luke A. S.aley, one Of the
strongest John Sherman men in the convention,
secured silence by reminding the convention
that II they were not gentlemen, - well as Re-
publicans, they should be. NJ. Grow Was not

mention Of Arthur's name was again the signal
for applause, not long but loud. People who,

down and listened intently, and were not un-
rewarded.
His tribute to his candidates action in tho
trying times succeeding Garheld's death was

of John n Lynch (colored) next appeared, and
the audience listened to the pleasant and pene-
