EvPSTSG SESSION.
| CHICAGO, June 6.-Considerine that
all the excitement and interest in the
convention eliminated today In the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine for Presi-
dent there was very large attendance
as well as OF delegates as of spectators
at the evening session. The galleries
were hardly less crowded than at any
OF the previous sessions, but there was
marked absence of any other feeling
than simple curiosity. Ii was $40
| O'Clock when the Chairman's gavel fell
| and announced that prayer would be
| offered by Rev. DIR. Charles O'ReilIy,
OF Detroit. DIR. O'Reilly is Treasurer
OF the Irish National League Of Amer
lea, anu Is the first Catholic to open a
Republican National Convention with
prayer. IL may then te said that the
Repabli3ans have introduced two new
features into this convention. A col
ored man AS temporary Chairman and
representative of the Catholic Church
invited to participate in the official pro-
csed;ng equally with Protestant mem
bers. DIR. OReIlly is u life long Re-
| publican. At the conclusion of PRAYER
the Chairman called for names of mem
bers of the National Committee which
had not already been sent up. Florida
| announced the name of Jesse L.
Ooombs. Kansas delegates Colonel
Perry Carson. A resolution was passed
permitting the State Central Commit
tees to name members of the National
Committee not already named.
Conger, from the District of Colum-
bia, said the name of Carson had not
been agreed upon by the delegation.
Ihe chair decided the gentleman ou. of
order.
Pending act on resolution to limit
wee Presidency nominating speeches
TO ten minutes, which might be divided
between two or more spe lkers.
Mr.. Conger-I want to know whether
the voice of the District of Columbia
is to be suppressed by the Chairman.
The Chair-I very much wish could
do so. Laughter.
Mr.. Conger insisted ON speaking,
amid much laughter and confusion.
When order was restored it was an
nounced, on behalf of New Mexico, that
Stephen Il. Elkins had been substituted
as member of the National Committee
for,the gentleman previously announced,
owing To the resignation of the latter.
Conger of the District of Columbia
| AGAIN inquired whether Carson's name
had been put on the roll as member of
the National COMMITTEES.
The Chair-It has.
Mr.. Conger again protested, but with
out success.
The resolution limiting speeches of
nomination to ten minutes passed, and
the clerk proceeded TO call the roll of
states for nomination. No response
was heard till Illinois was reached, when
Senator Plumb of Kansas came for
ward. He said the Convention had
| completed two of its most serious duties
the adoption of platform and nom-
nation of candidate for President.
The platform was one on which all
good Republicans could unite, and the
candidate one who could beat any Dem
| oorat living or dead, but il was still im-
portant that the best possible man
should be named for second place. IL
was but matter of just recognition to
the great body of soldiers of the war
for the Union that representative from
| their number should be placed in the
second place on the ticket. The Grand
Army of the Republic had enrolled
more than three quarters of million
men who lately wore the blue. In pre-
ssnting n man from their ranks the
| speaker would mention man suited in
every way suited for the first place
| a man who would add strength to the
ticket and justify the hopes and expec-
tations of the party. That man was
General John A. Logan. Loud, long
and renewed applause. The speaker
did not present him on behalf of Ilil-
nois, or ON behalf of any other State,
bat of the whole United States. He
belonged no more TO Illinois than to
Kansas. where 75.030 soldiers would re-
ceive the news of his nomination with
gladness. The speaker was commits
stoned by the State of Kansas to make
this nomination. lApplause.I
Judge Houck of Tennessee and Clan
cey of North Carolina seconded the
nomination. The latter said that with
Blaine and Logan his State could be
carried for the party by 5000. After
further nominations from Georgia and
Kentucky, a motion was made to sus-
pend the rules aud make the nomina-
tioa of Logan by acelamation. Ii was
put to vote. A majority voted IN the
affirmative, but as two thirds vote was
necessary, the chair ordered the roll
called in order to ascertain the num-
bers. Al the request of a delegate, who
| satd there were others who wished to
speak for General Logan. the motion to
suspend the rules was withdrawn.
Bradley, of Kentucky, ealogized the
| statesmen of East Tennessee. There
would be rejoicing among them. as there
| would be everywhere else, over the Pres
| idential nominee. His delegation was
somewhat divided, but when they came
to the name Of John A. Logan they were
united "a strong.
| Tharstou, of Nebraska, seconded the
nomination. He wanted the Republi-
aan party to write upon its banner the
invIncibls legend. ' Blaine and Logan"
IApplause and cries of Time. time
Lee, of Pennsylvania. In further sec
ond.ng the nomination. said the con
| vention had chosen as It's candidate for
| President one whose fame had grown
too great for his State. and had become
commensurate with the greatness of the
nation.
| Congressman Horr. of Michigan, from
the head OF his delegation further sec
onded the nomination, saying that IN
nominating John A. Logan the conyea-
ton would light the soldiers camp fires
from end TO end of the country.
NOTES AND INCIDENTS
There was an exciting scene about
midnight in the Colorado headquarters,
which would have resulted IN bloodshsd
but for the prompt interference of the
police. A number Of Blaine's managers
were holding a meeting with closed
