veterans of the war. A shout of nays came
in response The yeas and nays were about
even, but the chairman declared the resolu-
ton lost
The roll was then called for nomination OF
candidates for president and proceeded down
to Connecticut in the list of states, when
Augustus Brandegee responded for Gen.
Joseph B. Hawley.
GEN. JOHN AZ LOGAN
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, were called
without response. AT the name of Illinois
the audience broke into great
cheering. Senator S. M. Cullom mounted
the platform, and the applause was renewed.
1.-THE cheering which followed this name
was scarcely as great as that which greeted
the presentation of that of Hawley, and an
effort to renew the applause proved fall

SOMETHING THE MATTER WITH INDIANA.
Indiana was called, and the audience rose
to its feet and looked over in the direction OF
that delegation. Richard Thompson half
rose to his feet, but as soon resumed it, and
murmer of surprise ran through the as
semblage. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky and Louisiana were called, but there

JAMES G. BLAINE.
The audience suddenly became silent. A
paper fell from the secretary's desk, and
the rustic was heard yards away.
The reading clerk hesitated for moment,
and then in a stentorian tone shouted
"Maine!" In a second, yes, in less time, like
a flash of lightning, it seemed as though
every man, woman and child in the conven.
ton were on their feet, as if every throat was
shouting, every handkerchief waiving, every
hat in the air. Fer four minutes this scene
continued; there was a lull for moment, and
THE ENTHUSIASM BROKE OUT
with increased fury. Chairs were raised
in the air, the ladies in the galleries tore the
bunting from the wall and waved 1T
aloft, and the building shook to its center.
The band struck up, but the tune was
drowned. 1t was precisely eight and half
minutes before order was restored and pas
sage way to the platform could be made for
Judge West, the blind orator of Ohio, who
was to nominate the man from Maine. A
hearty greeting was accorded him when he
stepped to the front He said:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: AS a
delegate in the Chicago convention of 1860,
the proudest service of my life was performed
by voting for the nomination of that in
spired emancipation, the first Republican
president of the United States.
SHE concluded as follows:
Gentlemen of the convention, it has been
learned that in making this nomination every
other consideration and every other interest
should make q sacrifice IN order and
with the view exclusively of carrying the
state of New York. Gentlemen, the Repub-
lican party demands of this convention
nominee whose inspiration shall carry the
presidency with or without New York. Three
millions of Republicans believe that man is
he, who from the baptismal blood on the
plains of Kansas, to the fall of the mortal
Garfield, in all that struggle of humanity and
progress, wherever humanity deserves sue
cess, wherever the country calls for de.
fender, and wherever blows fall thicker and
faster. in the fore front of the battle, was
seen to wave
THE WHITE PLUME
of J. G.. Blaine, our Henry of Navarro. From
the shout of the September victory in Maine
will be re-echoed back the thunders of the
October victory in Ohio. Nominate him,
and the beacon lights will illuminate the con-
tinent from the Golden Gates to Cleopatra's
needle. Nominate him, and the millions
who are now in waiting will rally to swell
the column of victory that is sweeping on.
And in the name of a majority of the dele
gates from the Republican states and their
glorious constituencies, who must fight this
battle, 1 nominate James G. Blaine, of
Maine.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
When New York was called the demon
stration equaled that accorded to Blaine, and
continued for about fourteen minutes. The
speaker Martin I. Townsend, of New York,
however, soon lost the sympathies of large
proportion of his hearers by the tenor of his
references to Messrs. Conkling and Platt,
and at one time the Kisses and yells lasted
for two minutes. and so incensed the speaker
that in stentorian tones he shouted that he
would speak his mind if it was the last act Of
his life. Townsends concluding re-.
marks were almost lost in the
disorder that prevailed, but the
temperate but withal powerful speech
of Congressman Bingham, of Penn
sylvania, in seconding it, once more put the
audience in a good humor. He eulogized the
presidential career of the man who, four
years ago unknown, was to-day the best
known man in the world, and of whom all
men said: swell done good and faithful
servant"
Ohio was called, and Judge Foraker, amid
bursts of applause, rose to speak for Sher-
man. There was no incident of note until
he said no man had a greater admiration for
Blaine than he had, when the convention
again broke loose for seventeen minutes, dur
ing which the helmet and plume were carried
around the hail.
Ex-Governor Long made one of the best
speeches of the night, and notwithstanding
the fact that the hour was late $3.50, and
the audience tired, he was attentively
listened to and respectfully applauded,
especially when making several shots at
Blaine. When Edmunds' name was men
toned the convention was liberal in ap-
plause.
+ At the conclusion!of Curtis speech Foraker
moved that the convention proceed to ballot.
Stewart, of Pennsylvania, moved to amend
by making it five ballots. Thurston, of
Nebraska, moved to adjourn.
The chair put the question on adjournment
to 10 o'clock lit was at this time o'clock a.
n.y., and upon viva voce vote declared that
the noes had the majority amid great ap-
plause
Thurston demanded call of the states, and
the demand was seconded by Sewell, of New
Jersey, and delegate from Pennsylvania
The roll was called after some discussion
and resulted: Avs, 391; hayes, 40.
Stewart, of Pennsylvania, moved to adj
jour to II o'clock, and upon the question be.
ing put, the motion was declared lost
Another demand for the roll-call was made,
and the call begun, when Mckinley, of Ohio,
rose and moved to dispenee with further pro-
ceedings under the CALL and adjourn to II
o'clock.
This motion was put and carried, and at
Ids a. N. the session was adjourned.
The Fourth Day.
CHICAGO, June 6.-Friday, the fourth day
of the national convention, did what a vast
amount of speculation and figuring had not
been able to accomplish. II was a decisive
day, and showed very plainly who chad the
bulge" on the presidential nomination. 1t
laid to rest good many booms, and put
