admitted as member of the New York stock
exchange. 1t is mentioned that he has sold

No response YVES received till Illinois was
reached, when Senator Plumb of Kansas
came forward. He said the convention has
completed two of its most serious duties, the
adoption of platform aud the nomination of
a candidate for president The platform
was one on which all good republicans could
unite and the candidate was one who could
beat any Democrat living or dead hut it
was still important that The best possible man
should be named for second place. He
thought the great body of the soldiers and
Grand Army of the Republic should be
recognized, and in presenting the name of
man from their ranks he would name one
who would add strength TO the ticket and
that man was Gen John A. Logan. He he-
longed no more to Illinois than Kansas,
where 70, 600 soldiers would receive the news
Of his nomination with shouts of gladness.
The nomination was seconded by Judge
lIouck Of Tennessee Mr.. Thurston of
Nebraska, Mr.. LIE Of Pennsylvania, Mr..
