ballot 1t was next to impossible to restrain the
exuberance of the vast audience whenever
the name of Blaine was spoken. The very
sound sSi Of it called the people 10
their feet; they stood up on the chairs
ladies and all, and waved handkerchiefs and
hats and flags and umbrellas, while the
building shook with the thunder
Before the official result was announced
the following dispatch was received:
:" WASHINGTON, June 6-To S. M. Cullom

States that must be relied upon to elect the
President having so strongly shown a prefer
ence for Mr.. Blaine, ] deem it my duty not to
stand in the way of the peoples choice, and
recommend my friends to assist IN his nomi-
nation.
(Signed) JOHN A. LOGAN.
The receipt of this telegram produced an
other storm of cheering and wild enthusiasm
for Blaine. Mr.. Birmingham, of Pennsylvania
William Walter Phelps of New Jersey, and
one or two colored delegates endeavored to
get a hearing, and Moderated and gestic-
ulated without succeeding in be
ing heard, their voices being
drowned III tumultuous yells, cheers and de-
mands for call of the roll. Not deferred BY
their failure, Mr.. Roosevelt, of New York, car
ried away by the excitement, got upon his
seat, waved his arms and appeared as If he
was saying something: but not a word was
heard from him. Finally, at $780, the taking of
the fourth ballot was begun.
