wards the platform, coolly button
ing up the buttons of his coat, and as he
mounted the platform he was received
with fresh volley of yells, which died
ont and were renewed again as he con-
fronted the audience from the Speakers
desk. The Chair introduced the Repre-
sentative of Illinois, who said;
"Mr. President and gentlemen Of the

another Republican convention came to-
gether in this city and nominated as
candidate for President of the United
States another eminent citizen of llli-

waving of fans and other demonstrations

The speaker then said that the safety
and prosperity of nation depended OH
the courage and integrity of its sons;
that Logan was among the first at the
moment of danger, who raised regi-
ment and marched to the front in defense
of his country; that among the names
written on the scroll OF fame,
none appear more clear than
the name of Logan. (Applause. J
His history is the record OF battle.
He never lost one in all the war. Where
there was fighting to be done, there was
he to be found. His plume, the white
plume of Henry of Navarro, was always
to be seen at the point where battle
ragged the hottest. Conservative in
matters involving tho public welfare.

yes, repeat it, fearless in the
rights of the weak against the

prominent of those whose names may be
presented to this Convention. No man
has done more in the defense of those
principles which have given life, spirit
and victory to the Republican party
than has John A. Logan, of Illinois. We
ask you to nominate him because his
public record is so clean that even poll
cal caluMny dare not attack it. We
ask you to nominate him in behalf ofthe
black and white Republicans of the
South. We offer You the name of n
patriotic, sagacious and incorruptible
statesman-a man who, though defeated,
never skulked in his tent. We offer

roar any longer. Some OF the
delegates were overjoyed TO the extent
of perfect frenzy. Hats, handkerchief
and canes were thrown in the air. flags
were waved and a general pandemonium
reigned. The Chair man raped with
his gavel for order, but he might as well
have tried to argue with cyclone.
The audience apparently desired nc
liner opportunity to express theii
feeling, and expressed the feeling
in keeping with the opportunity
The scene was such as can be witnessed
only in a National Convention. The
delegates from California mounted on
chairs, hoisted their white hats on cane,
and waved them about, in response to
hosts of kandkerchiefs waved by ladies
in the gallery and on the platform seats
One genius conceived the idea of opening
his umbrella and Immediately about fifty
umbrellas were up and waved the entire
length of the hall A large national
flag was also taken by visi
tor and waved from the front
of the platform amid tremendous
cheering. subsequently, on the pole Of
the flag was placed helmet, exquisitely
formed of carnations aud roses, with q
long white plume. which was hoisted
from the press table. The helmet was
the gift of some Young ladies of Chicago.
Tremendous acclamation greeted this

OF four years ago. So went on the wav.

other articles for several minutes, unit

and other like noises. The Chairman
