places here that Mr.. Baine's nomination
was certain. The dispatches published in
the papers this morning were Of like
tenor. hence people waited anXiOusly for
the balloting TO commence to-day, and some
were veXed that Washington time is an
hour ahead Of that at Chicago. There was
disappointment when Mr.. Blaine did not
get more votes on the first ballot. and Ar
thurs friends had evidently anticipated n
larger vote than he received. Crowds
focked around the ouletin-boards OF the

a. gain after gain FOR Blaine was announced
on the next ballot.

beat" [Applause.l Mr.. Lamb, of In
diana, moved to adjourn 10 the civil
service committeeman. The motion,
amid laughter, was voted down bolster
ously. The Chair said it was evident
that they didn't care cuss about civil

Beford. who said that Blaine would have
been nominated At Cincinnati. but the
Democrats put the gas out. They can't

Mr.. Van Eaton left the chair and went
OFT. The clerk raised a laugh by an
nouncng that he had gone out 10 get a
