a member Of the National Committee for
the gentleman previously announced, ow-
ing 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 a member OF the National
Committee.
The Chair-It has
Mr.. Conger again protested, but without
success.
The resolution limiting the speeches of
nominations 10 ten minutes was passed
and the Clerk proceeded 10 call the roll OF
States for nomination.
No response was heard till Illinois was
reached, when Senator Plumb, of Kansas
came forward He said the Convention
had completed two OF its most serious
duties-the adoption of platform and
| the nomination of a candidate for
President The platform was one upon
which all good Republicans could unite
and the candidate was one who could
! beat any Democrat, living or dead but it
was still important that the best
possible man should be named for the
second pl4ce II was but matter of
| Just recognition TO the great body of sol
diers of the war for the Union that a repre-
placed in the second place on the ticket.
The Grand Army of the Republic had en-
| rolled more than three-quarters of million
of men who lately wore the blue. In pre-
senting q man from their ranks, the speaker
| would mention man suited in every way
| for the first place.-a man who would add
| strength TO the ticket, and justify the
| hopes and expectations of the party
| That man was General John A Logan
| Loud, long and renewed applause] The
speaker did not present him on behalf of
Illinois, or of any other State; but of the
whole United States He belonged no
more TO Illinois than to Kansas, where
| rs, 600 soldiers would receive the news of
his nomination with shouts of gladness.
The speaker was commissioned by the
State of Kansas to make this announce
ment [Applause.]
Judge Houch of Tennessee, in seconding
the nomination, said that while the Con-
vention had not chosen his first choice, it
had done well, and the speaker proceeded
to pay tribute to the "plumed knight of
Maine" He hoped the Convention would
come to q common understanding and
agreement for the second place on the
ticket.
When the wires should transmit the
news of the nomination of General Logan
to the soldier boys of East Tennessee, there
would be rejoicing among them as there
would be everywhere else on the Presden-
tial nominee. His delegation was some
what divided, but when they came to the
name of John A. Logan they were united,
twenty-four strong.
Thurston of Nebraska seconded the NOM
ination. He wanted the Republican party
to write upon. its banner the invincible
legend, Blaine and Logan" Applause,

Lee OF Pennsylvania, in further second
ing the nomination, said the Convention
had chosen as its candidate for President a
native of Pennsylvania, whose fame had
grown too great for his native State, and
had become commensurate with the great
ness OF the nation.
Congressman Horr, of Michigan from
the head of his delegation), further sec
onded the nomination, saying thatis nom
mating John 4. Logan the Convention
| would light the soldiers camp-fires from
end to end of the country.
| Clancy (colored) of North Carolina, in
| seconding the nomination, said that with
| Blaine and Logan his State could be car
| ried for the party by 1000.
After further seconding of the nomina-
ton from Georgia and Kentucky, motion
was made to suspend the rules and make
the nomination of Logan by acclamation.
| i was put TO vote, and a majority voted
in the affirmative bnt as two-tilirds vote
was necessary, the Chair ordered the roll

LoGANs WITHDRAWAL.

ALMOST 4 TRAGEDY.
CHICAGO, June 6th.-There was an excit-
| ing scene about midnight in the Colorado
| headquarters, which would have resulted
| IN bloOGshed but for the prompt interfer-
enCe Of the police. A number of Blaine's
managers were holding a meeting with
| closed doors. when a young man, carving
an arnful Of circulars, entered. The circu-
| lars contained a reproduction of Plcks
TattOOed Man, which are being distri-
| buted everywhere for political effect bv a
few ultra anu-Blaine men. 1t appears that
| the meeting was being held 10 devise the
best means of suppressing further circua-
| ton of these campaign circulars and when
| the young man entered their midst and
commenced scattering them all over the
| room there was intense excitement. One
man jumped up, and catching the intruder
| by the coat, pulled him to the door and
/ tung him out in the hall, where he was
| beset by dozen other adherents OF Blaine.
| They kicked and pounded hins and were
! rapidly reducing him 10 Jelly when some
| friends came up. Reyolvers were pulled on
both sides at once, but bloodshed was pre-
vented by the appearance of officers, who
| rescued the bold news agent

| cerning the attitude of Senator Miller
towards Blaine and Arthur and his alleged
interference with the California delegation
! in behalf of Arthur, the delegation en-
phaticaily state that the dispatch is abso-
! luteiy false. 1t has no foundation what
ever, On the contrary, Senator Miller has
| openly declared that every member of the
| delegation ought 70 stand firm for Blaine as
| long as there is any hope of success. Nor
has he at any time attempted to get an
| expression OF the delegation as to who
| their choice would be in case Blaine was
not successful. In other words, he has not
meddled with the delegation in any man

NEW YORK, June 6th,-The Sl4's Au-
gusta (Maine) special says Blaine to-
day assumed telegraphic direction Of his

to-day be depended almost entirely upon
the public sources of information about the
Convention; but the Clayton piece of
stupidity on the part OF his managers was
apparently more than he could endure; so

been going between Mr.. Blaine's house and
the telegraph Office as fast as he can trot.
Blaine has spent almost an entire day in
