THE MAN FROM MAINE. 'rks t
Upon the call Of Maine" by the
clerk, it seemed as if the entire as
semblage arose and a roar of ap-
plause and cries of Blaine" COM
menced a scene such as can be wit
messed only in a National Conven-
ton. The delegation from Cahfor-
MIA mounted on chairs, hoisted their
hats on canes and waved them in
response to the oceans of handker-
chiefs waved by ladies in the gal
lery. One genius conceived the
idea of opening his umbrella and
Immediately about fifty were up and
waved presenting novel sight
Meanwhile the immense crowd of
admirers Of Blaine were shouting in
one immense, never-ending shout,
something like the roar of tempest,
now swelling and sinking. The
band itself came to the aid of the
shouters and Numbered with its
basses ana drums, and although five
minutes had passed the enthusiasm
OF the Blaineites knew no end, and
the roar of their applause still con-
tinued. At last the President, who
had heen looking with interest upon
the scene before him, seized his CAV
el and gave some raps Herewith.
The crowd was silent moment, and
then, regardless of the Chairman's
rapping, again burst out in another
shout in honor of their candidate.
The chairman raped, the crowd
shouted again, but at length, after a
succession of halloos lasting seven
minutes, business was allowed to
proceed.
After the chairman had succeed
ed in producing comparative quiet,
Judge West, of Ohie, was introduced.
The sensation was intense, and the
interest in Mr.. West on account of
his commanding presence and SYM
pathy for his infrmity brought all
to silence in the vast hail.
ADDRESS OF JUDGE WEST.
Judge West said: As a delegate
in the Chicago convention of 1860,

performed by voting for the noni-
nation of that inspired emancipator. |

United States. [Applause.l -Four
