Cannon boomed in the north, in the south, the east and the west. Bunting floats on the breeze, music fills the air. Blaine songs are issuing from thousands of husky throats and the demon strations generally are akin to those which greeted notable victory whether of arms or politics. In the convention hall from the moment that the call of the first ballot was made until the formal announcement that s'James G, Blaine had received majority of the votes cast' the proceedings were one continual succession of soul-stirring episodes. During the taking of the first ballot death I1Ao sE1AuoSS PE0VH11cu huu WAcu 4L "ho oA- nounced that 334 votes had been cast for Blaine the immense audience manifested it's satisfaction with terrific cheers and the enthusiasm was renewed when the second ballot showed that the Plumed Knight had not only maintained his strength but had gained fifteen. The taking of the third ballot was chiefly notable for the indignant pro ests made by the delegations from the Pacific coasts against the New York delega- ton in entering taeir camp and attempting to lobby. Shouts of "put them out' started on the delegates floor were taken up by the gallery and for 8 time 1t looked as though serious trouble was imminent. The New Workers, however, apparently believing that discretion was the better part of valor, with drew to their own section aud the voting went on. The result of the third ballot had hardly been announced when like flash of lightning the report went over the floor
 THAT LOGAN HAD TELEGRApHED HIS MANAGERS to go for Blaine. When the news reached the Arthur managers it was received with in- credulity, but moment later 8 copy of the following telegram addressed to Senator Cullom and signed John A. Logan WAS laid before their eyes:

Bingham, of Pennsylvania, and couple of colorsd delegates frantically en- deavored to get hearing, but their voices were drowned in the tunultuous cheering and demands to call the roll. Not to be de- tered by the feeling of the convention, hew ever, Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, carried away by the excitement, rose in his seat. franticslly waved his arms and shouted at the top of his voice. Not word of what he was saying, however, could be heard a yard away. MT. Foraker. of Ohio, helped to make the confusion more oonfounded with proposition to nominate Blame by acclama- tion and Mir.

The resolution was promptly with- drawn and the taking of the fourth ballot began. Before the vote of Alabama could be recorded, however, there was another up- roarious scene in which Messrs. Butcher, Roosevelt and other prominent New York delegates took part upon technical point relative to motion for recess. Once again the audience hooted until it was hoarse and numerous uneomplimentary spithets were levelled at the Gotham millioneires.

Cheers resounded, the band struck up an inspiring air, hats and handker- chiefs and national flags were waved, 8 stuffed eagle from Colorado and 8 large banner from Kansas surmounted by sheaves of wheat and punches of corn were carried around the building and the roar of artillery outside combined with the louder roar of voices inside and amid su oh scene
