the roll of States, and suggested that the 9th

Shortly afterward the chair started up with
sudden determination, and put the motion to
suspend the rules and make LOS1nS nO1nlna-

the affirmative being much the greater, and
the chair declared the motion carried, and
sat down exhausted. The applause and

during which time several clustered around
the chairman, evidently trying to convince
him that he had put Iris foot in it most disas-
trously by not permitting Logan's nomina-
ton to be formally made by

was determined. Shortly ufterward, George

her whole vote to Logan. For the first time

usual motion was made to make LogaA's pom

dissent.
On motion of Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, it was
decided to appoint q COMMITTEES to notify
Blaine and Logan of their nomination. The
chair said he would announce the committees
later. After thanking the officers of the con-
vention, the S~ergeunt-at-A ARMS, the various
committees of arrangements. and the Union
Veteran Club, the convention adjourned
amid the cheers of the audience and the
playing OF the "Star S%panglcd Banner" by the
band.
