THE SHERMAN COLLAPSE.
Landslide to Harrison-Quiet DEM
OnNtratt0na.


Landslide TO HaFrisOn-Q uiet Dem-
OnstratiOns.
Assurances received soon after the
withdrawal of Allison that his vote
would COB Harrison took the last hope
| from the friends OF Sherman, and SEN
ator Quay, finding the game up, told his
friends to fall in line. As soon as it be-
came known that New York would not
desert Harrison, there was no longer
any doubt about the result, and the call
| ing OF the roll was mere formalty.
Harrison was nominated after the Ten
nessee vote had been cast, giving him AL
votes. The only single vote that stood
by Sherman was Pennsylvania, and after
that States vote the Harrison movement
became landslide.
| NOT ovER-ENTHUsrAsr1c.
When Wyoming's vote was taken,
everyone knew that Harrison had been
nominated, and without waiting for the
announcement Of the vote, the Conven-
ton jumped up to make the customary
demonstration.
General Harrison starts out on his
Presidential journey without the frantic
enthusiasm in the Convention which has
characterized most Of the nominations OF
late years, but he has nothing to COM
plain of in the beartiness Of the cheers
which followed the knowledge Of his
nomination. From all parts Of the hall
sprang into view National flags, umbrel-
las constructed Of red, white and blue
muslin, immense fans Of various colors
and streamers Of all kinds and descrp-
tions. The bands helped out the enthu-
siasm with Hail to the Chief" "The
Star Spangled Banner" and Marching
Through Georgia"
TRIBUTES TO THE COAST.
A handsome lady in the north gallery
Immediately over the northern end Of
the platform, waved beautiful silk flag
upon which was inscribed in gold letters,
"Chicago Leads to VIM" John S.
Wise, Of Virginia, exerted his muscular
power in waving an immense yellow fan,
on which was inscribed in large letters,
Harrison" Chauncey M. Depew ex
hibited his enthusiasm with a large
American flag and wide open mouth,
shouting for the nominee OF the Conven-
tion. While the enthusiasm was at its
height floral piece, six feet high, sur.
mounted by star composed of red,
white and blue flowers, was carried to
the platform and confronted the Conven-
ton with the motto in red upon back
ground OF immortelles, "The ladies OF
Chicago to the California delegation. f"
In the center Of floral star surmounting
a horse shoe, were the letters "B. H.
A silken banner against horse shoe
bore the inscription, "Oregon Leads the
Way"
After ten minutes of unadulter-
ated enthusiasm, the Chairman's
gavel and the remonstrances Of a
number of delegates reduced the out
burst to controllable dimensions, after
which the roll OF States was once more
called simply for verifcation of the
vote. The Chairman then announced
that Harrison had received majority OF
the votes Of the Convention, and asked
if his nomination should be made unani-
lmous.
MAKING IT UNANIMOUS.
Horr of Michigan, Hastings, on behalf
of Pennsylvania, and Senator Farwell, on
behalf Of Illinois, seconded the motion.
The motion to make the nomination
unanimous was also seconded in hearty
speeches by Henderson, OF Iowa, and
Boutelle, of Maine. Boutelle promised
the old refrain would come down from
Maine as it did in the days gone by,
when another Harrison was in the field,
"Oh, have you head the news from
Maine, how she went hell bent for Gov
ernor Kent and Tippecanoe and Tyler
too"
FORAKER sPoUTs.
Governor Foraker then took the plat
form amid enthusiastic cheers and said
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: "The
delegation from Ohio'came here all Sher-
man men. They are now all Harrison
men. 1t is easier for us to be so when
we remember that General Harrison had
the good sense to be born in Ohio. [Ap-
plause.l | am directed by unanimous
vote Of the Ohio delegates to move the
Convention on behalf of the State of
Ohio that the nomination Of Harrison be
made unanimous"
| THE PosTPRANDIAL's BAzoo.
Depew was called for and said: "Mr.
Chairman and gentlemen Of the Conven-
tom AS an honored representative of
an honored State, move to make this
nomination unanimous. l knew when
came here that Ohio would carry away
this body. Laughter and cheers. L
was perfectly willing to accede to
| it because of the experience that in
National elections when an Ohio man
is nominated he always wins. [Cheers. |
This Convention will adjourn in differ
ent temper from any that has been held
in quarter of century. No candidate
before this Convention expected to sue
ceed, and no one is disappointed.
Cheers and laughter We go away
without any heart-burnings, but full Of
enthusiasm, as we came for what
ever result might be good. New
York is the metropolitan city of this
union, and the men from other States,
as soon as they get too big for their own
commonwealth, come to New York,
| daughter and when New York finds a
man too large for his own Common
wealth, and he don't move, she adopts
him Qaughter) and New York
adopted Benjamin Harrison, and
voted for him solid, and YOU
concurred in her views. The
voice OF New York and the vote of the
Convention will be the voice of the
American people next November.
Loud Cheers You don't want long
speech. You don't want statement OF
principles; you don't want anything ex-
cept to feel in unity and sympathy that
the enthusiasm going from this Conven-
tion, and responding to every part
OF the country, which like the beats
and throbs of the heart, sends blood
everywhere. shall come back again in
one OF the old-time victories for Republi-
canism, for Republican principles. for
