upon the mention Of the name of
Blame, there arose another shout of
applause, which swelling rapidly
soon developed into greater, louder
and more piercing hailoo than. fol-

ever, was made. The visitors, who
made ninety-nine hundredths Of
the applause, wrested the flags from
the sides of the gallery and waved

Of the flag was placed helmet ex-
quisitely formed Of carnations and
roses with long white plume
which was hoisted from the press
table. The helmet was the gift of
some young ladies of Chicago. A
tremendous declaration granted this
happy suggestion Of the "plumed
knight" of four years ago. So went
on the waving of hats, umbrellas,
flags and diverse other articles for
several minutes until it degenerated
into whisting, cat calls and other
like noises. TIE chairman seized
the moment to rap the convention
to order, and after short fight with
whistlere, callers and others, bust
ness was once more resumed after
an interval of twenty.-fiv minutes.
The call of the roll was continued
by the secretary until the state of
New York was reached when came

gates especially raised their voices
and their hats, and added to tbs
general applause. Figs were sgain
swung upon the platform and along
sides OF the hall. After fifteen
minutes of this enthusiastic cheer

stop the chesrs, but was only
cheered for his trouble. He raped
thrice and the crowd sang "March~

rapped, and they gave three cheers
and tiger for Arthur, after which
business proceeded.
Mr.. Martin 1. Townsend, of New
York, took the platform. The
house cheeTed and applauded for
fifteen minutes, and endeavored, IL
possible, to counteract the enthu~
siasm gotten up by friends Of Mr..
Blaine few minutes previous. AS
soon as it was possible to be heard
the chairman raped vigorously on
the table with his gavel and said {:
| Gentlemen Of the convention, Mr..
Townsend, of New York, who said
Mr' President and Gentlemen IF
| the Convention:
America is proud OF her g eat
men, The American party is proud
Of her great men, and the great men
| OF America are in the Republican
party (Applause). 1t has warmed my
heart TO hear the eulogies of tonight.
I abste not one whit from the
speakers who have uttered the Gu.
lOgiums in my admiration of those
men. I came here to say amen
and thrice amen as to the ach eve
ments of the Republican party in
Guiding the glorious history of the
gentlemen whose names have been
presented here. / came here, how
ever, to talk about the well being of
the Republican party in future, and
| say to the gentlemen Of this con-
vention, that however Joyous our
evening interview may be there is
a very grave responsibility resting
upon US that has got to be borne
and decided by cool and deliberate
Judgment. The question is how
shall we put ourselves before the
I American people in the shape to
carry the suffrages at the next cleo
ton? And it is serious
question. In France, when the
National assemblies from about
1870 to 1900 WeIe assembled
the demonstration from the sur
rounding neighborhood in Paris and
the assent by ths national assem-
blies settled a question, but we may
exert an influence upon this body.
We may obtain the assent of this
body, and yet our work is not done.
We have got TO go down to the con-
s'ltuencies that sent US here We
have got 10 shape our action 30 that
IL shall commend itself to the men
that 60 to church-to clergymen, to
elders, to deacons and members and
citizens who attend churches: all
that fear God and love the Republic
have got to canvass our action and
pass in judgment upon what we
have done. Now, how shall we
meet the views of the people? I
came to speak to you in carrying
out what believe is most likely 10
meet the favor of the electors Of
this Countrywide Republican cleo
tors. The Individual L speak of is
Gen. Chester a. Arthur, of the
