nominee OF the convention for President.
The convention then adjurned till to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
AFTER THE ADJOURNMENT
of the convention, and while the hall was
still crowded, there were loud calls for
Ingersoll and Oglesby. The calls were
kept up for a long time. Mr.. Ingersoll
did not respond to them, but Ex-Goy.
Richard ]. Oglesby did, and made a long
and amusing speech, alluding in compli-
tmentary terms to the various candidates
for the Presidential nomination. Arthur
Edmunds, Blaine, the two Shermans, Lo-
gan, Ex-Gov. Fairchild, Of Wisconsin
Gen. U. S. Grant, Harrison, Gresham and
others were in turn complimented by the
( ol-nr and 1Dd hNv hr
audience. In conclusion he an
nounced that the Republican party was
going to win, and that the American peo'
Pile would not allow that party TO retire
from the exercise of the solemn powers ol
the nation.
After Oglesby had finished his speech
there were calls for Fred Douglass, to
which. after a time, that gentleman re
sponded. He excused himself, however
from making a speech on account O
| the loss of his voice. Then the calls
| for Ingersoll were renewed, but as that
| gentleman was not present a substitute
was suggested in the person of Congress
man Horr, of Michigan, who came for
ward and made a speech. He remarked
that six months ago they had been told
that the Republican nomination fer the
Presidency would go begging, but there
| was not much sign of its going beggins
tonight. The edict has gone out tha
this convention would E name the
next President. Republican conven
, tions had named the President
for twenty-tour years. They had go
into the habit OF it and were not going Il
break up that habit this year. He ridi
J culed the Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives and its utter fail
ure in TIE way of tariff revision. GOD,
he said, "would not have put the gold an(
coal and iron in the bowels of the lane
, / il he thought that the Democrats
party was going to rule the coun
