The close of the speakers address was
received with cheers. The secretary then
called the States Delaware, Florida and
Georgia without response, when Illinois
was called and Senator Cullom rose from
his seat and walked down the aisle, amid a
chorus of "ahs," which went up from sev-
eral thousand voices. When the cheers
subsidized the senator addressed the audi
ence. He began his speech with refer
ence to the nomination of Abraham Lin
coin in this city "a years ago; then the
nomination Of Gen. Grant, eight years
later. with a like victorious result; fol-
lowed again in 1880 by the return of the

a brilliant soldier and an honest man.
General
JOHN A. LOGAN.
The announcement of Logan's name was
received with wild burst of applause,
which was renewed again and again. The
speaker referred in bis elegant language to
General Logans record as soldier and
patriot-his bravery and devotion in the
hour of his country's peril. He resigned
his seat In congress and returned home and
was among the first to organize regiment
of volunteers. Concluding he prophesied
if Logan was nominated the party would
march on to glorious victory In Novem-

the entire assemblage arose and roar of
applause mingled
WITH CRIES OF "BLAINE"
commenced to ascend such as can be wit
messed only in national convention. The
delegates from California mounted in
chairs and posted their white hats on
canes and waived them about in response
to the ocean of handkerchIefts waived by
the ladies in the gallery aDd on the
platform seats. One gentleman conceived
the idea of opening his umbrella and i'm
mediately about fifty umbrellas were up
and were waived about and presented a
novel sight meanwhile the immense crowd
of admirers of Blaine were shouting in an
immense never-endIng shout something
take the road of tempest now swelling and
sinking. The band itself come TO the aid
of the shooters and thundered with
its BASES and drums, and although FIVE
minutes had passed the enthusiasm of the
Blaineites knew no end, and the roar of
their applause still continued. At last the
president, who had been looking with in
terest upon the scene before him, seized his
savel and raped Herewith. The crowd
was silent in moment, and
then regardless of the chairman's rapping
again burst out In another shout In honor
OF their candidate. After the chairman
had succeeded in producing comparative
degree of quietude, Judge West addressed
the convention and in most eloquent
speech presented the name of
JAMES g. BLAINE.
He spoke OF the plumed knight as grand
civic hero whom the souls of the people de-
sire and will follow with triumphant en-
thusiasm on the march to certain victory.

Gentlemen. such a republican is James G.
Blaine. Here the speaker WAS interrupt

tumult.) Ii has been argued that
In this convention every
other interest must be sacrificed with a
view to carrying New York. Gentlemen,
the party demands nominee who shall
carry the presidency with or without New
York. [Applausel. That will carry the
legislatures of the several states and avert
a sacrifice of the United States senate and
