Great interest was manifested in this city
in the balloting in Chicago, and while the
majority of the republicans evidently pre-
ferred the nomination of President Arthur or
Senator Edmunds, yet the result is entirely
satisfactory to the party, and the candidate
will receive an unfaltering support in this

the fourth ballot was the signal for an out

crowds assembled at the telegraph office; and
it has formed subject of discussion wher-
ever group of men happened to assemble.

Senator Harrison on the Nominations.

ISpIANAPoLIs, June Z.
In an interview Senator Harrison said he
was we'll pleased with the nominations. He
considered Blaine had great elements of
strength; that he was stronger with the
Irish; he will carry the Pacific slope, New
York and Indiana. His own State approved
him, and Garfield gave him his confidence in
the most conspicuous manner possible. 1t
was nonsense to think that he would involve
us in war, and the business of the country
has nothing to fear from him. He is sound
on all great economical questions. Senator
Harrison also approves the choice of Gen.
Logan for the vice-p-esidency.

On objection by the defendant, evidence
of the services rendered by the plaintiff be-
fore the time covered by the writ was exclud-
ed and both parties were confined to the time
covered by the writ. No exception was

time embraced in the writ.
The evidence was not so clearly in fa,or
