ing, and thousands of people have been thread
ing the streets i'll couples and professions. The
occasion OF all this excitement Is the arrival OF
the California committee and the Maine delega-
ton, direct from Chicago, TO congratulate Mr.
| Blaine upon his nomination. Ex-Governor Con
nor addressed the delegation in welcome which
! was responded to by Mcclure of California, who
closed, amid great cheering by saying: - You
need not worry about us. We will take care of
| ourselves"
Ex-senator Hamlin said; "You have done
more than we'll We will sweep this country
| like Il vast prairie fire.

intense. The procession marched through the
principal streets TO the residence of Blaine, in
front OF which quite a crowd assembled,
watching an artist Sketching for the illustrated
| papers The procession arrived at $40. and the
! CalitOnianS We're received with a clapping Of
| hands as they passed into the house. They
| were most cordially received by Blaine, as Sen
| atOr Mcclure presented each by name, and
| conversation enSued. which was broken up by
Senator Hamlin coming i'll, and being presented,
remarking that they were nice boys Blaine
| then went to the door, where he was received
| with cheers. General ConnOr addressed the
people in short speech, and followed by
| Congressman BOutelle.
Blaine then said: " Felow-citizens: If any
|
my door, and under my root, my old friends of
Maine, it would be as it is to-day, to have them
| accompanied by loyal and true-hearted men
| from the Pacific coast, whom they bring to our
| hospitality, and whom we greet and welcome
| as our guests. | am very sure you must appre-
ciate the embarrassment under which a man
| speaks whe he is overwhelmed with demon
| STATIONS of kindness as | am TO-DAY. | can only

all Voices Of Good and tremendous APP

General Logan at His Post-His Nomi-
nation.
| WASHINGTON. June 9th.-General Logan ap-
| peared III the Senate this morning promptly at
the opening hour, looking healthy and good
| natured. He received congratulations on his
| nomination for Vice President and replied all
| joking comments with YigOr, laughing as
| heartily at others jokes as at his own. He was
shaken warmly by the hand by the Democratic
! members, and received their jOcular predictions
| of his defeat with smiles. Logan has recovered
| entirely from the nervousness which ovcrcame
| him laSt week. That was due, it is said, to an
| alleged understanding between Blaine and
| Logan, or between Logan and William Walter
| Phelps-which is the same thing-loOking to his
nomination for the Presidency. The truth is
| that Blaine did not want the nomination. and If
Logan had developed sufficient strength III the
| Republican states TO give him u substantial fol
| lowing, the Blaine men at Chicago would have
| combined with the Illinois delegation and nom
| mated Logan. IL was the CONSCIOUSNESS that he
was almost at the realization of his great ambi-
| ton that caused the black warrior to become
| so nervous last week. His friends at Chicago
were not able to control the bowling demand
| for Blaine and later his supporters were not
| able to carry out the programme, which perhaps
| would have suited Blaine Just as well. Logan
consented to run for Vice President only because
! he was assured that his name would add
| strength to the ticket. LOgau's raven hair is
| just turning gray, and he IS still young man.
| Il Is believed that it is the understanding that
| ne shall succeed Blaine II they are elected this
| year. At any rate, Logan knows that he is not
| going 10 lose anything by allying his political
| fortunes to Blaine
And the Colored Troops Fought SobIy."
