 OVER TWO HOURS WE'RE OCCUPIED
 in calling the roll. As prominent and dis tinguished members of the party answered their names and stated their preferences they were rewarded with cheers from lar candidate whom they favored. When the name of Senator Malone was reached the excitement was as great as at the rising of Lodge. Stepping out in the aisle the little Senator announced in a piping voice that his choice was "John R. Lynch" "Louder," cried the secretary. ''Johu k. Lynch" shouted Theodore Roosevelt. h. stantly there was furore of applause and Curtis, Roosevelt, Taft, Reyes of Madison, Wis, and half dozen colored delegates crowded around to grasp the hand of the little man. Before seen that Lynch was largely in the lead, and although toward the end Pennsylvania came to the rescue of Clayton with 46 votes, Texas and West Virginia with 12 each and Wiscon- sin with 10, the rally was too late. Lynch had carried the day. The secretary an- crowd had shouted itself hoarse and there was not much enthusiasm over the announce ment.
 CLAYTON, PALE AND AGITATED, BOSE
 and in tremulous tones requested that his vote, which had not been previously cast, be recorded for his successful opponent and also moved to make it unanimous. The resolu- tion was adopted Clayton, Lodge and Taft were appointed committee to escort Lynch to the chair. As the procession moved down the aisle, Clayton in front, Lynch next and Lodge and Taft bringing up the rear, the audience again went into hysterics and when with courtly bow he presented the man and brother" to Senator Sabin hats went into the air. ladies waved parasols and handker- chiefs and pandemonium reigned supreme.
 LYNCH WAS COOL AND COLLECTED,
 to all appearances the most unconcerned man in the hall. He advanced to the front of the stage and when quiet had been restored be- gan an address which for fuency and general excellence of delivery had not been equalled by any of the speakers who had preceded him. He said: 1T feel that YOU for the distinguished honor which you have conferred upon me, for I do not. Nevertheless, from the standpoint that no patriot should fail to respond to his country's call, and that no loyal member of his party should fail to ocomply with the de- mands of his party, yield reluctantly to your decision and will assume the position to which you have assigned me (cheers). Ev- cry member of the convention who has ap- preached me on this subject within the last few hours knows that this position was neither expected nor desired by me- If, therefore. there is any such thing as man having honors thrust upon him, you have an e1emplifics- ton of 1t in this instance (cheers) I wish to say, gentlemen, that came to this con- vention not so much for the purpose of se- curing the defeat of any man, but for the purpose of contributing to the extent of my vote and influence to make Republican sue cess in November next an assured thing. I hope and believe that the assembled wisdom of the Republican party of this nation through it's chosen representatives ln this hall will so shape our policy and will present such candidates before the American people as will make that victory beyond the shadow of doubt. l wish to say, 50 far as the different candidates for the presidential nomination are concerned, that do not wish any gen tleman to feel that my election by your votes is indicative of any thing relative to prefer ance of one candidate over another. 1 am prepared and I hope every member of this convention is prepared to return to his home with an nnmistaksble determination to give hearty support, whoever they may be. (Ap- plause) -Geatlemep of the convention, I am satisfied in my own miad that when we go before the people of this country our &C., tion will be ratified because the great heart of the American people will never
 
 to gain the ascendanSy in this government whose chief reliance for that support is fraudulent ballot and vio- lence at the polls lapplausel. l am satisfied that the people of this country are too loyal to eyer allow man to be inaugurated Presi- dent of the United States whose title to the position may be brought forth n fraud and whose garments may be saturated with the innocent blood of his countrymen. I am satisfied the American people will ratify our action because they will not consent for revenue system in this government other wise than that which will not only raise the necessary revenue for it's support, but will also be sufficient to protect every American citizen every where. Gentlemen, not for myself, but per haps in obedience to custom, thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me-" Applause

 Arthur's Workers in High EFeather-The Election Of Lynch Regarded BIains's Waterloo.
 l CHICAGO. June 3,-The Arthur men are figuring on capturing the Edmunds advo- cates, but it is known to night that Mes SITS Hoar, Roosevelt and G. ". Curtis are fsVor- ably disposed towards Sherman. A despatch l received here from Senator Sherman to-day speaks of the situation as entirely satisfac- tory and urges the importance of holding the forces solidly together. The anti-BlaiRe men insist that the selection of Iyneh for temporary ehairmap is black eye. for Blaine, as his own strength together with that of 1 Sherman and Logan was insufficient to capture the temporary organization. The Arthur men l are in high feather and say, 'tWe did not not sit up until o'clock this morn 1 ing for pothing." The Blaine sup porters are still Ranguine and say thai
 as the hallotilg proceeds they will, at ths | pyaper time, show their hands. Harrison 1 left Chicago tonight and has committed hii
 interests to the hands of his friends. There 1 is some talk of the Illinois delegation uniting | upon Senator Gallon should 1t become ap | parent that Logan cannot win.
